Product details

Line-up and breaking capacity

Its TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release provides fixed overload and short-circuit protection for feeder circuits in distribution panels. Breaking capacity is the standout spec here: 220 kA at 240 V, tapering to 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and still 17 kA at 690 V.

Above that it derates: 15.36 A at 55 °C, stepping down to 14.4 A at 70 °C. For a panel OEM wireman, that means if the enclosure ambient runs at 55 °C, the breaker can only carry 15.36 A continuously — factor that into your branch circuit sizing. Front protection is IP40. If you need shunt trip or remote signaling beyond the aux contacts, you'll add those externally.

Frequently asked questions

Does this breaker include a shunt trip or undervoltage release?

No. It ships without undervoltage release, without auxiliary release, and without ground-fault monitoring. The only built-in accessories are 4 auxiliary switches (HQ type).
