Product details

Breaking capacity hits 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — the 690 V figure is the same as the 500 V rating, so the arc chamber is sized for that ceiling.

The 52.5 kA at 240 V and 32 kA at 415 V give this MCCB headroom for high-fault panels downstream of a transformer. The 690 V rating of 7.5 kA matches the 500 V figure, which is unusual — typically you see a drop. That flat curve means the interruption mechanism is not voltage-limited at the upper end; the arc energy is managed consistently across the medium-voltage range.

The shunt trip allows remote tripping from a PLC or E-stop circuit — common on conveyor or pump panels where you need to kill power without walking to the MCC. No undervoltage release is fitted, so the breaker will not drop out on a sag; if you need UVR protection, this is not the order code for that.

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard SENTRON 3VA footprint.
