New generation compact NSX circuit breakers
The new ComPacT NSX moulded-case circuit breakers feature a refreshed
design that retains the footprint of previous models, tailored for operational
excellence and major simplification of maintenance activities.
The ComPacT NSX range now comes connectivity-ready with modular
“plug-and-play” accessories and expanded capacity for advanced monitoring
capabilities. By keeping the new units the same shape
and size as their predecessors, electrical professionals can
easily retrofit breakers already in use.
Additionally, this allows professionals to expand the
capabilities of ComPacT breakers trans-generationally to
unleash digital intelligence.

PrismaSeT LV switchboard
The new PrismaSeT is an optimised, tested and IEC
