Rated 160 A continuously at 40 °C ambient, it derates slightly as the panel warms: 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. Breaking capacity is stated per voltage: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. For a 480 V North American panel, the 52.5 kA at 440 V is the closest published figure — adequate for most industrial service-entrance or feeder duty where the available fault current is under 50 kA.
Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, and 70 mm depth — a compact 3-pole footprint that fits standard SENTRON mounting plates and busbar systems. Panel cut-out and busbar spacing match the 3VA family, so a drop-in replacement for an existing 3VA breaker of the same frame size requires no re-drilling or re-busing. That gives three discrete signals: one for breaker open/closed status, one for the spring-charged mechanism, and one dedicated to trip indication — enough for a PLC to distinguish a manual open from a fault trip without additional wiring. That heat must be considered in the enclosure thermal calculation — 38 W is not trivial in a sealed cabinet.
