Product details

Its 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 — those numbers tell you it's built for high-fault panels where a standard MCB would weld shut.

Panel fit and derating reality

At 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, this MCCB fits a standard 3-pole footprint on a DIN rail or panel-mount base. The front face is IP40 — fine inside a closed cabinet, not for washdown. The derating table matters: it holds 16 A flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then drops to 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What interrupting capacity does this MCCB have at 415 V?

It interrupts 121 kA at 415 V. That's sufficient for most industrial distribution panels with high fault current availability downstream of a large transformer.
