Product details

It carries a TM240 thermal-magnetic release — fixed thermal, magnetic trip adjustable — and ships with four HQ auxiliary switches for status feedback. The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V, which covers most industrial distribution panels without needing a current-limiting upstream device.

Above that it steps down: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C.

Dimensions are 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that clips onto DIN rail or mounts with screws to a backplate. The 4 HQ auxiliary switches give you two form-C contacts for status to a PLC and two for a local indication lamp, all without an add-on module.
