Product details

It provides short-circuit protection (magnetic) only, with no thermal overload element — that function is handled by a separate motor starter or overload relay upstream. The 3-pole breaker is rated for 50 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2, and carries a 90 kA Icu at 220/240 V AC. The MA trip unit is set at 2.5 A at 65 °C, meaning it will trip magnetically on short-circuit currents above that threshold, but does not track thermal heating in the motor circuit.

Motor protection — why the MA trip unit matters

This breaker is built for motor protection duty (Category A, per IEC 60947-2). The magnetic-only trip unit (MA) is standard for motor branch circuits where a separate overload relay handles thermal protection. The 2.5 A rating at 65 °C means it's sized for a small motor load — roughly 1.1 kW at 400 V three-phase, depending on motor full-load amps. The 3D protected poles configuration covers all three phases.

IP40 enclosure protection (finger-safe), IK07 impact resistance.
