- Selection & Application Notes
- Breaking capacity matching
Ensure short-circuit current ≤ 36kA@400V; otherwise use NM1LE800H (50IL).
S-class breaking capacity decreases at higher voltages; recheck for 690V systems.
- Earth leakage current selection
Personal protection / wet areas: IΔn = 30mA
Equipment & fire protection: IΔn = 100–300mA
Motore & high-power loads: IΔn = 300–500mA to avoid nuisance tripping during startup.
- Poles and N‑pole configuration
4-pole for three-phase four-wire systems only; N wire must be connected.
N pole only detects leakage; it does not break short-circuit current (except special versions).
For interruptible N pole, select a special model with “N-pole breaking”.
- Installazione & wiring
Fixed mounting; allow ≥180mm depth for heat dissipation.
Use copper busbar/cable rated for 800A: ≥240mm² cable or 40×10mm busbar recommended.
Must be installed vertically, tilt ≤15°.
- Maintenance & replacement
Test leakage function monthly using the TEST button.
Inspect contacts after short-circuit operation; replace if necessary.
For upgrades, prefer CHINT NXMLE Kunlun Series (compatible dimensions, better performance).
Leakage module can be replaced separately.
CHINT NM1LE800S-4300-800A is a reliable 800A earth leakage MCCB with triple protection, standard breaking capacity and 4-pole design, ideal for industrial automation and building electrical systems. Selection should consider short-circuit level, leakage requirements and installation space. For better performance and safety, use higher-breaking versions or the new Kunlun series when applicable.

- Cablaggio & Heat Dissipation
Use 800A-rated conductors:
≥240mm² copper cable or 40×10mm copper busbar
Terminations must be tightly torqued to avoid overheating.
- Maintenance & Sicurezza
Press TEST button monthly to verify leakage function.
Leakage module replaceable separately.
Not recommended for three-phase three-wire systems without neutral.
- Upgrade Recommendation
New CHINT NXMLE800S series: better performance, smaller size
Preferred for replacement or upgrade (dimensions nearly compatible).
