Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a 3-pole frame that fits standard MCCB mounting footprints in distribution boards. Power loss is 10.6 W maximum, so ventilation in a sealed enclosure is manageable but not negligible if multiple breakers are ganged.
187 kA at 240 V AC. At 415 V it's 121 kA, at 440 V it's 75.6 kA, and at 500 V or 690 V it holds 17 kA.
The shunt trip (STL) allows remote tripping by applying a control voltage to the release coil — useful for E-stop circuits or safety relay integration. This variant does not include an undervoltage release.
