The Schneider Electric Masterpact NW12N1 (reference 48035) is a 1250 A, 4-pole, fixed-mount air circuit breaker frame supplied without a control unit. It carries an N1 breaking capacity of 42 kA (Icu) at 440 V AC and is built for main incomer, sub-main, and busbar-coupling duties in low-voltage switchboards. Because it ships as a frame only, the matching Micrologic trip unit is ordered separately, letting panel builders specify the exact protection level a project needs.
The NW12N1 is used as a main or sub-main breaker in commercial buildings, industrial plants, data-centre distribution boards, and MV/LV substations where a 1250 A frame with standard short-circuit performance is required. The N1 class covers installations with typical prospective fault levels; for higher fault currents, the H1 (48036, 65 kA) or H2 (100 kA) versions use the same frame.
The Masterpact NW range accepts field-interchangeable Micrologic control units. Micrologic 2.0 provides basic overload and short-circuit (LI) protection, 5.0 adds adjustable LSI protection with current metering, and 6.0 adds earth-fault protection and energy analytics. See our Micrologic trip unit selection guide for a side-by-side comparison.
Does the Masterpact NW12N1 (48035) come with a trip unit?
No. This is a circuit breaker frame supplied without a control unit, so you order a compatible Micrologic trip unit separately. This lets you match the exact protection functions and metering your installation needs.
Which Micrologic trip units are compatible with this breaker?
The Masterpact NW range accepts Micrologic 2.0, 5.0, and 6.0 control units, which are field-interchangeable. Micrologic 2.0 gives basic overload and short-circuit (LI) protection, 5.0 adds adjustable LSI protection with current metering, and 6.0 adds earth-fault protection and energy analytics.
What does the N1 rating mean, and how is it different from H1 or H2?
N1 is the breaking-capacity class: 42 kA (Icu) at 440 V AC, suited to installations with standard short-circuit levels. The H1 (48036) and H2 versions offer higher breaking capacities of 65 kA and 100 kA for sites with higher prospective fault currents, using the same 1250 A frame.
Is this the fixed or drawout version?
Reference 48035 is the fixed-mounted, 4-pole version. A drawout (withdrawable) NW12N1 is a separate reference if your switchboard uses a chassis. Tell us your configuration and we will confirm the correct part.
Is the Masterpact NW range still current and genuine?
Yes. Masterpact NW is a current Schneider Electric air circuit breaker range, and we supply genuine stock. We can help verify genuineness on request before you order.
Do you deliver to Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC?
Yes. We dispatch across the UAE and GCC, with road delivery to Saudi Arabia typically taking about 7 to 10 days from our Dubai hub. For KSA shipments we can also help with SASO and SABER conformity documentation.
