Features

This circuit breaker is equipped with advanced electronic protection, compact design, and smart connection technologies that enhance safety, performance, and ease of use.

• The MicroLogic 4.1 electronic trip unit provides accurate and adjustable protection settings for overload and short-circuit conditions. It ensures coordination and selectivity in complex electrical systems.

• The 4-pole configuration protects all three phases and the neutral, making it suitable for systems with unbalanced loads or where neutral safety is essential.

• EverLink lugs offer secure and stable terminal connections that compensate for conductor creep and thermal cycling, reducing maintenance needs and improving installation reliability.

• The compact body design allows for space-saving installations in switchboards and control panels, while still offering full protection and connectivity.

• Designed to support integration with Schneider’s auxiliary accessories such as auxiliary contacts, shunt trip, under-voltage release, and motorized mechanisms.

• The MicroLogic 4.1 unit also enables digital readiness and supports energy monitoring, remote diagnostics, and communication in smart panel configurations.

Applications

The C12E44V160L is ideal for a wide variety of demanding electrical distribution environments, both commercial and industrial.

• Used in commercial buildings, hospitals, offices, and data centers as a main or sub-main breaker providing complete phase and neutral protection.

• Suitable for industrial facilities and manufacturing plants where accurate fault protection, durability, and terminal reliability are critical.
