It protects distribution circuits against overload (thermal element) and short-circuit (magnetic element) per EN/IEC 60947-2. Rated 100 A at 40 °C, the breaker delivers 50 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz — the rating that governs its use in most European industrial panels. The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides L (overload) and I (short-circuit) protection; no earth-leakage module is integrated.
Mounts on a backplate in either horizontal or vertical orientation — flat on the back. Front connections on both upside and downside simplify busbar and cable routing. The 140 mm width and 161 mm height fit standard ComPacT NSX cutouts; depth is 86 mm.
Breaking capacity varies with voltage: 90 kA Icu at 240 V AC, 50 kA at 415 V, 36 kA at 500 V, 35 kA at 525 V, and 10 kA at 690 V AC. Electrical durability is 30,000 cycles at 440 V In; mechanical durability is 50,000 cycles. The neutral protection setting is fixed at 1 x Ir (4D), meaning the neutral pole is protected at the same current as the phase poles — standard for 4-pole distribution.
