Breaking capacity reaches 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and 32 kA at 440 V — figures that govern its fault-interrupting capability at the point of common coupling.
Breaking capacity drops with system voltage: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. Thermal rating holds at 16 A from 40 °C through 55 °C, then derates to 15 A at 60 °C through 70 °C.
The supplied basic switch order code is 3VA10963ED320AA0.
