160 A amperage rating combined with a 690 VAC, 750 VDC rating and 50 kAIC interrupt capacity means this breaker safely clears high fault currents in industrial panels while minimizing nuisance trips. Business impact: enhanced reliability of power trains and reduced unplanned downtime in manufacturing lines. Application: motor drives and distribution panels where robust fault interruption is critical and protection coordination with other devices is essential. The NZMN2 frame (NZM2) standardizes mounting and replacement, enabling faster panel design, easier service, and lower total cost of ownership. Business impact: simplified procurement and reduced downtime during maintenance. Application: retrofit projects and new-build switchgear assemblies in process industries. The rocker lever and motor-drive accessories improve operability and field adaptability, translating to quicker resets after faults and safer manual operations. Business impact: reduced operator error and faster response times in demanding environments. Application: machine controls and automated lines where quick manual intervention is required. The 50 kAIC interrupt rating ensures resilience against high short-circuit currents typical in data centers, metalworking, and heavy industry. Business impact: higher fault tolerance and safer energy distribution. Application: protection of critical loads with dependable short-circuit clearing. The three-pole design and 690 VAC / 750 VDC capabilities provide versatile installation across AC and DC portions of drives and feeders. Business impact: broad compatibility and simplified engineering specifications. Application: multi-voltage protection schemes in mixed electrical systems. The IEC/EN 60947-2 alignment supports international interoperability and design confidence. Business impact: easier global compliance and smoother cross-border deployment. Application: global manufacturing and international projects.
