Max power loss is 38 W — that's the heat you need to vent inside the enclosure. If the panel runs hot, size the bus and ventilation for the derated current, not the nameplate. ## Breaking Capacity Across Voltages The interrupting rating drops as voltage climbs: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. Dimensions are 130 mm tall, 101.6 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most SENTRON panelboards and DIN-rail adapters. Current-production part.
