Product details

The interrupting ratings cover the common industrial voltages: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The continuous current holds at 160 A from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates to 156 A at 55 °C, 151 A at 60 °C, 147 A at 65 °C, and 142 A at 70 °C.

Built-in auxiliary and shunt trip

That means you can wire the aux contacts into a PLC for breaker status feedback and use the shunt trip to kill power from an E-stop or safety relay — no need to add separate accessories.
