Schneider Electric MT16N1 1600A Air Circuit Breaker – Masterpact MT Series
When a critical air circuit breaker fails in a high-load industrial power distribution panel, the consequences cascade instantly — production lines halt, safety systems lose primary protection, and every minute of downtime translates directly into financial loss. In environments where continuous power integrity is non-negotiable, the Schneider Electric MT16N1 is not a component you can substitute with an inferior alternative. Its absence is felt immediately; its presence is the silent guarantee that keeps your facility running.
The MT16N1 occupies a flagship position within Schneider Electric’s Masterpact MT series — a globally recognized platform engineered for low-voltage power distribution in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Rated at 1600A with a robust breaking capacity, the MT16N1 is deployed in main distribution boards, industrial switchgear, and critical infrastructure worldwide. As one of the most specified ACBs in the IEC market, it represents the intersection of Schneider Electric’s decades of power management expertise and the evolving demands of modern industrial automation.
