Rated for 32 A continuous current and 690 V maximum, it handles motor loads up to 15 kW at 400 V AC-3 duty, so it's sized for common 30 A motor branch circuits in industrial control panels. The breaking capacity tells you where it can safely interrupt a fault: 100 kA at 240 V, 85 kA at 400 V, 50 kA at 500 V, and 10 kA at 690 V AC — that 85 kA at 400 V is the figure most panel builders will check against the available fault current at the distribution board.
Main circuit terminals are screw-type on the front side; auxiliary and control circuit terminals are also screw-type. The design accepts an auxiliary switch add-on (not included), and the overcurrent release is magnetic-only — no thermal bimetal, so it's a magnetic-only instantaneous trip for short-circuit protection, relying on the upstream contactor or overload relay for thermal overload.
Environmental limits and compliance
Operates from -25 to +70 °C, stores and ships from -40 to +70 °C, with a maximum installation altitude of 2000 m above sea level. Shock resistance is 12 g for 11 ms — adequate for most fixed-mount industrial panels but not rated for continuous vibration on moving equipment. The substance prohibition date of 08.01.2008 indicates RoHS compliance per the EU directive effective from that date.
