What the 40 kA interrupting rating means for your panel
Its 40 kA interrupting rating at the listed voltage means it can safely divert a surge current of that magnitude away from downstream equipment — a key spec for coordinating SPDs in a service entrance or sub-panel where fault currents can reach those levels. The 320 V maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV) sets the ceiling for the line-to-ground voltage it can withstand without degrading.
