Product details

Its breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — covering most industrial distribution voltages without a downstream current-limiting fuse.

The 16 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up to 50 °C without derating, then drops to 15.36 A at 55 °C and 14.4 A at 70 °C — useful when the breaker sits in a warm enclosure near other heat sources. The TM240 release is a fixed thermal-magnetic type — no interchangeable trip unit, which simplifies ordering but means you can't swap the rating later. Front protection is IP40, so it's suited for enclosed panel mounting where no washdown or dust ingress is expected.
