MCCB for high-fault plant feeders
Above 50 °C it drops gradually: 194 A at 55 °C, 188 A at 60 °C, 182 A at 65 °C, 176 A at 70 °C.
Panel integration and auxiliaries
The shunt trip order code is 3VA9688-0BL33 — order it alongside if you need remote open capability. No undervoltage release is fitted, and no communication module is integrated; this is a standalone line-protection device, not a power-monitoring breaker. Height is 158 mm — confirm the mounting footprint against your existing panel layout, especially if replacing a different frame size.
Thermal derating and trip coordination
The TM240 release has an adjustable Ir up to 200 A. For frequent switching duty (motor starting, capacitor bank), consider a contactor ahead of this breaker; the MCCB is designed for infrequent isolation and fault protection, not repetitive load switching.
