The TM210 thermal-magnetic release provides fixed overload and short-circuit protection — no adjustable trip curve, which simplifies specification but locks you into the factory calibration. Breaking capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V and 75.6 kA at 415 V, so it handles high-fault-current panels without cascading upstream. Thermal derating is minimal through 50 °C — still rated 16 A — then drops gradually to 14.4 A at 70 °C. For a panel running warm near the top of the enclosure, you lose about 1.6 A off the nameplate; plan the load accordingly if ambient exceeds 55 °C.
