Product details

It is rated for distribution applications on AC networks at 50/60 Hz, with a breaking capacity of 40 kA Icu at 240 V AC (IEC 60947-2) and 36 kA at 415 V AC. The 400 A rating at 40 °C makes this breaker a fit for large feeder or main-switch duty in commercial and industrial panels where upstream fault current is high enough to demand the 40 kA interrupt rating at 240 V.

The breaker complies with EN/IEC 60947-2, carries an IK07 impact rating, and is rated IP40 for the enclosure.

The 185 mm width and 255 mm height fit standard switchgear cubicle cutouts; the 110 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-connected busbars or cable lugs. The toggle control provides manual on/off/tripped indication. Neutral is on the left (4P configuration). Six accessory slots are available for shunt trips, auxiliary contacts, or motor operators.

The full Icu curve: 40 kA at 240 V, 36 kA at 415 V, 30 kA at 440 V, 25 kA at 500 V, 20 kA at 525 V, and 10 kA at 690 V. Under UL 60947-4-1, ratings are 85 kA at 240 V, 35 kA at 480 V, and 20 kA at 600 V. Selectivity with downstream breakers can be achieved using the short-time delay on the MicroLogic 2.3 trip unit. Electrical endurance is 12,000 cycles at 440 V at half rated current, 6,000 cycles at full rated current; mechanical endurance is 15,000 cycles.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of C40F42D400 at 415 V?

The breaking capacity is 36 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2, corresponding to breaking capacity code F.

What trip unit does C40F42D400 use?

It uses a MicroLogic 2.3 electronic trip unit with L (long-time overload), So (short-time short-circuit with fixed delay), and I (instantaneous short-circuit) protection.

How do I get current pricing and availability for C40F42D400?

Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. Submit a request through the distributor for a current quote with lead time.
