It is built for straightforward overcurrent and short-circuit protection in distribution panels where you need a clean, no-frills MCCB that still carries serious breaking capacity. Breaking capacity is the headline here: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V. That 75.6 kA at 240 V is well above typical utility fault levels for North American 240/120 V split-phase or 240 V delta services — it gives you headroom for high-fault panels without cascading upstream. At 415 V, the 52.5 kA rating covers most European industrial distribution busbars where the prospective short-circuit current sits around 25–50 kA. Temperature derating is published across the full operating range: the breaker holds 160 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then steps down to 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C.
That gives you one N.O./N.C. set for status feedback and a separate alarm contact that changes state only when the breaker trips on fault — useful for remote indication or PLC input without needing an external trip relay.
Front IP40 protection means it is splash-safe in a closed panel but not rated for washdown environments. The TM240 release is adjustable for the thermal trip time (tr max. setting available), giving some flexibility to coordinate with downstream breakers or motor starters without changing the trip unit.
