MCCB with undervoltage release for line protection
Breaking capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V — these values cover the typical fault-current ranges for 480Y/277 V and 600 V industrial services, so the breaker coordinates downstream without cascading upstream gear.
In a crowded panel with limited airflow, use the 70 °C figure for the actual load — the 160 A nameplate applies only when the enclosure ambient stays under 50 °C. Dimensions are 130 mm high, 101.6 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures without re-drilling.
