Rated 160 A continuously at 40 °C (ambient derating curve provided down to 142 A at 70 °C), it carries a breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, and still delivers 75.6 kA at 440 V — enough to coordinate with most downstream branch protection in a 480 V panel. The shunt trip (STL) and two HQ auxiliary switches are factory-fitted, so you don't lose a slot on the DIN rail for add-on accessories.
