Functional and Application Differences

Core Differences:

NSX100F: Suitable for protecting load circuits with a maximum current of 100A or below, such as small motors, lighting distribution, and small distribution boxes.

NSX160F: Suitable for protecting load circuits with a maximum current of 160A, ideal for medium-sized motors, high-power equipment, and main distribution boxes.

Trip Unit Compatibility:

– Both support thermomagnetic (TMD) and electronic (Micrologic) trip units.

– They share the same tripping characteristics and provide overload and short-circuit protection.

Application Scenario Comparison:

NSX100F: Suitable for small industrial equipment, branch circuits in commercial buildings, and main distribution boxes in residential buildings.

NSX160F: Suitable for medium-sized industrial machinery, floor distribution boxes, small production lines, and scenarios requiring larger current capacity.

Recommandations de sélection

– Choose NSX100F: When the maximum circuit current is ≤ 100A and switchgear space saving is required.

– Choose NSX160F: When the maximum circuit current is ≤ 160A, especially for current ranges between 100A and 160A.

Résumé: Les NSX100F et NSX160F appartiennent tous deux à la série NSX de Schneider Electric., avec des technologies et des fonctions de base similaires. Les principales différences résident dans le courant de trame (100Un contre 160A) et dimensions physiques (largeur). La sélection doit être déterminée en fonction du courant de charge réel et de l'espace de l'appareillage de commutation..
