Breaking capacity — what the voltage-specific ratings mean for fault clearing
Breaking capacity is stated per voltage level: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. For a 415 V industrial panel fed from a transformer with a 100 kA prospective fault current, this breaker clears it. At 690 V the margin is tighter — 17 kA limits it to lower-fault installations.
Thermal derating — continuous current across ambient temperature
Above that it derates: 120 A at 55 °C, 117.5 A at 60 °C, 115 A at 65 °C, and 112.5 A at 70 °C. Plan the load at the actual ambient, not the nameplate.
The trip indicator flag is present — visible through the front cover, useful for troubleshooting without opening the panel door.
