The interrupting ratings are 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — figures that govern the available fault current the breaker can safely clear without upstream coordination failure.
Above that, the continuous current derates per the datasheet curve: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C.
Mechanical endurance is rated at 15 000 cycles.
187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
