Complete Order Code Examples & Stocking Recommendations
- Complete Order Code Specification (4 Core Elements Required)
Ordering Schneider MT series requires specifying frame size + breaking capacity class + mounting method + control unit + numéro de pôle. Examples are as follows:
– MT08N1 F MIC 2.0 3P.: 800A N1 class, fixed type, Micrologic 2.0 control unit, 3-pole
– MT08H1 D MIC 5.0 4P.: 800A H1 class, drawout type, Micrologic 5.0 control unit, 4-pole
- Stocking & Recommandations de sélection
- Select by Short-circuit Current
– First calculate the expected short-circuit current at the distribution point: choose N1 class (highest cost-performance) if ≤50kA; N2 class if 50-70kA; H1/H2 class if >70le.
– For industrial plants close to substations with high short-circuit current, prioritize H1 class.
- Select by Operation & Maintenance Requirements
– Choose fixed type for general power distribution scenarios, featuring low cost and small space occupation;
– Choose drawout type for scenarios where power outage for maintenance is not allowed (par ex., data centers, hospitals), enabling live replacement of the breaker body.
- Select by Functional Requirements
| Control Unit Model | Fonctions principales | Scénarios applicables |
| Micrologic 2.0 | Protection de base (long-time delay/short-time delay/instantaneous) | General power distribution without measurement and control requirements |
| Micrologic 5.0 | Protection + electrical parameter measurement (current/voltage/power) | Buildings and factories requiring energy consumption monitoring |
| Micrologic 6.0 | Protection + measurement + communication (Modbus/Profibus) | Intelligent power distribution systems requiring SCADA integration |
| Micrologic 7.0 | Full functions + power quality analysis (harmonics/unbalance) | Data centers, precision manufacturing workshops |
- Stocking Recommendations
– For regular trade stocking, prioritize MT08N1 F MIC 2.0 3P., which adapts to 80% of general power distribution scenarios and ensures fast inventory turnover;
– For heavy industry customers, stock a small quantity of MT08H1 F MIC 5.0 3P to meet high short-circuit current requirements;
– Customize drawout models on demand; large-scale stocking is not recommended (high capital occupation and strong model specificity).
