Eaton NZMN2-A160-BT-NA Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 50 kAIC
Part Number: NZMN2-A160-BT-NA
Quick Summary
NZMN2-A160-BT-NA molded case circuit breaker protects electrical distribution panels by interrupting fault currents. When selecting a breaker for industrial panels, engineers often struggle with fit, high fault current demands, and installation complexity that can delay projects. Typical industry certifications to verify include CE marking for safety, IP ratings for enclosure protection, and SIL alignment where functional safety is required; always confirm exact certifications with the manufacturer. This model combines rugged electrical protection with a compact front-frame design, delivering reliable distribution protection while simplifying procurement and service agreements. Designed for industrial environments, it complements NZM2 frame products and is compatible with standard rocker lever accessories, delivering consistent performance across panel assemblies.

Thermal-magnetic protection with T268 trip characteristics provides precise coordination for feeders and motors, reducing nuisance trips and shortening downtime in critical lines. This leads to measurable improvements in system reliability and maintenance planning for panel builders and integrators handling high-energy installations. The 160 A rating at 690 Vac and 750 Vdc supports broad industrial applications, enabling a single device to cover varied voltage profiles and simplifying procurement for distributed power networks. The NZMN2 frame with front frame clamp and box terminals streamlines installation, speeds up commissioning, and minimizes torque inconsistencies, enhancing panel integrity and serviceability in crowded enclosures. Accessories such as rocker lever and motor drive extend retrofit and automation compatibility, enabling quick field adjustments without replacing the entire breaker and facilitating smoother machine control integration. Warranty and service considerations follow Eaton’s policy, providing defined coverage to reduce ownership risk while maintaining alignment with standard distribution protection schemes and long-term maintenance planning.

FAQs
The NZMN2-A160-BT-NA is designed for the NZMN2 three-pole line with front-frame clamp mounting and box terminals. It fits standard distribution panels and machine control centers that use the NZM2 family frames and front-access installation, simplifying assembly in compact or retrofit panel enclosures.
This breaker provides 160 A continuous rating with a voltage range of 690 Vac / 750 Vdc. The trip type is T268, offering a 50 kAIC short-circuit rating, with a delayed trip range of 960–1600 A to handle transient faults and minimize nuisance trips in dynamic loads.
Install via the front frame clamp using the box terminals for secure connections. Verify enclosure clearance given its 5.866 in depth and 4.134 in width/height, and ensure correct alignment with the NZM2 frame. Use the rocker lever or motor drive accessories if automation is required, then perform a standard commissioning checklist.
Eaton’s standard warranty policy applies, typically one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For exact terms and service options, refer to Eaton Selling Policy 25-000 and contact Eaton technical support to align with your procurement and maintenance plan.
Accessories include a rocker lever and motor drive to enhance manual operation or motorized control within automation schemes. The unit is compatible with the NZMN2/ NZM2 family, enabling straightforward integration into existing panels and supporting setting ranges of 125–160 A for field adaptation as system demands evolve.
