FAQ

Is this a complete circuit breaker?

No, this is a circuit breaker frame or base (part number 32403). It requires a compatible Compact NS trip unit, which must be purchased separately, to be a functional circuit breaker.

The breaking capacity depends on the operating voltage. According to the label, it has an Icu of 85kA at 380/415V, 50kA at 500/525V, and 40kA at 690V AC.

No, the Compact NS and Compact NSX series have different mechanical and electrical interfaces. You must use a trip unit specifically designed for the NS400N frame.
