Where it sits in the control system
The LV426169 is the device-level element in a Schneider Electric circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — up to 690 V AC — and switches or conditions the load within the 160 A ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides By screws (plate) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Schneider Electric LV426169
Schneider Electric LV426169 — Circuit breaker providing branch-circuit overload and short-circuit protection in distribution boards and panel feeders. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number LV426169; size the surrounding wiring and upstream protection to these published ratings rather than to a generic assumption.
- Weight: 1.42 kg — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Degree of protection: IP40 — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Rated impulse withstand Uimp: 8 kV conforming to IEC 60947-2 — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Rated insulation voltage Ui: 750 V AC conforming to IEC 60947-2 — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
