Product details

At 240 V it interrupts 121 kA; at 415 V it handles 75.6 kA; at 440 V it drops to 52.5 kA; at 500 V it's 17 kA; at 690 V it's 11.9 kA. At 55 °C it drops to 156 A; at 60 °C to 151 A; at 65 °C to 147 A; at 70 °C to 142 A. If your enclosure runs hot — say a non-ventilated panel near a furnace line — size the load for the 70 °C figure, not the nameplate.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 158 mm high, 70 mm deep. If you need remote trip or status feedback, you're looking at a different suffix in the 3VA family.
