Schneider Electric MasterPact NW25H1 2500A 3-Pole Fixed ACB – 65kA, Ref. 48070
The Schneider Electric MasterPact NW25H1 48070 is a 2500A, 3-pole fixed Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) designed for high-capacity low-voltage power distribution. It provides 65kA short-circuit breaking capacity at 440V AC, supports operation up to 690V AC, and is supplied as a bare breaker frame without a trip/control unit.
Description
The Schneider Electric MasterPact NW25H1 2500A 3P Fixed ACB, Reference 48070, is a high-performance air circuit breaker frame for demanding industrial and commercial low-voltage electrical distribution applications.
Rated at 2500A at 40°C, the MasterPact NW25H1 uses Schneider Electric’s H1 performance class, providing 65kA breaking capacity at 440V AC. It is designed for high-fault-level installations where reliable short-circuit interruption and selective coordination are required.
The 48070 is a 3-pole, fixed-mount configuration and is supplied without a MicroLogic trip/control unit. This allows the protection and measurement configuration to be selected separately according to the application’s requirements. Compatible MicroLogic control-unit options should be confirmed against the exact breaker configuration before ordering.
The breaker has a 690V AC rated operational voltage, 1000V insulation voltage, and 12kV impulse withstand voltage. Its Category B classification and 65kA short-time withstand current support applications requiring coordination with downstream protection equipment.
