Feature: Thermal-magnetic trip provides coordinated overload and short-circuit protection with fast clearing times. This reduces nuisance trips and protects expensive equipment, extending motor life and decreasing unplanned downtime. In practice, you gain reliable coordination for feeders and motors within control panels, supporting safer start-up sequences and smoother commissioning. Feature: Three-pole design in NZMH2-VE160-SVE ensures balanced protection across all phases. This prevents phase-to-phase faults from propagating, improves arc fault mitigation, and simplifies wiring schemes. It is ideal for 3-phase distribution in manufacturing lines and machine controls where consistent tri-phase protection is required. Feature: Wide voltage rating of 690 Vac / 750 Vdc enables protection of both high-voltage AC mains and DC control circuits. This reduces spare parts and stocking needs while enabling a single device to cover mixed-voltage equipment in panelboards serving critical equipment such as CNCs and conveyors. Feature: NZM2 frame compatibility delivers a compact footprint with straightforward mounting and wiring access. This supports easier retrofits, faster installation, and optimised panel utilization in space-constrained environments. Feature: Interrupt rating of 85-150 kAIC provides robust fault current withstand, increasing protection for upstream equipment and improving overall system safety in demanding industrial networks. Feature: Class offers selective and generator protection, helping coordinate protection across the system and protecting generator sets during islanding or transients. This reduces unnecessary trips and supports reliable power transfer in mixed-load scenarios.

FAQs

The NZMH2-VE160-SVE fits the NZM2 frame and uses a three-pole design with dimensions of about 5.86 in width and height and 5.51 in depth. Ensure panel clearance for wiring access and verify mounting compatibility with NZM2 enclosures. Refer to the Eaton specification sheet for detailed accessory recommendations and torque specifications during retrofit.
Key specs include a 160 A rating, voltage rating of 690 Vac / 750 Vdc, trip type T268, and an interrupt rating of 85-150 kAIC. The product is designed for selective and generator protection within 3-phase power systems. Use these values to coordinate protection with upstream devices and generators.
Yes. The unit is specified for selective and generator protection, offering coordinated tripping to minimize disruption during faults and generator operations. This is particularly valuable in facilities with standby generators or cogeneration where selective protection improves reliability.
The NZM2 frame provides a compact footprint and straightforward mounting, enabling easier retrofits and denser panel layouts. Its size facilitates faster wiring access and cleaner integration with standard control panels, reducing installation time and space requirements in new builds or modernization projects.
Official documentation is available from Eaton. The key data sheet is the Eaton Specification Sheet for NZMH2-VE160-SVE, which includes detailed electrical ratings, installation guidelines, and compatibility notes for panel and switchgear applications.
