Product details

The headline number here is the interrupting capacity: 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The thermal-magnetic TM240 release handles overloads via a bi-metallic element and short circuits via a solenoid. Rated continuous current holds at 63 A through 50 °C ambient; above that it derates stepwise to 56.7 A at 70 °C. That derating curve means you size the breaker for the actual panel ambient, not the nameplate — a 63 A load in a 65 °C enclosure needs the next frame up or active cooling. Three-pole construction, 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep — standard MCCB footprint for a 3VA frame.

Integration — panel fit and wiring notes

No undervoltage release, no shunt trip, no communication module, no ground fault monitoring on this variant. If you need remote trip or GF protection, you step up to a different 3VA suffix. The TM240 release is fixed thermal and magnetic — no adjustable long-time or short-time pickup, so coordination studies need to account for the fixed curve.

Frequently asked questions

What does the TM240 release designation mean?

TM240 indicates a thermal-magnetic overcurrent release rated for 63 A continuous current. The thermal element handles overloads; the magnetic solenoid handles short circuits. It is a fixed-release type — no adjustable long-time or short-time pickup settings.

What are the physical dimensions of this breaker?

Width 76.2 mm, height 130 mm, depth 70 mm. Standard 3VA frame size, fits DIN-rail or direct backplate mounting.
