Product details

Its breaking capacity is 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — so it clears high-fault currents across common industrial voltages without cascading upstream. The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C; above that it derates to 156 A at 55 °C, 151 A at 60 °C, 147 A at 65 °C, and 142 A at 70 °C.

The 4-pole format handles three-phase plus neutral switching.

Maximum power loss is 33 W. The SENTRON series carries UL, CSA, and IEC certifications — consult the specific product documentation for the exact listing marks on this variant.
