It's built for line protection in distribution panels, and its breaking capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V AC, 25 kA at 440 V AC, and 11.9 kA at 690 V AC — so it handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream. The unit includes an undervoltage release and two HQ auxiliary switches, and it's rated IP40 on the front, meaning it keeps dust out of the panel face but isn't meant for washdown environments.
The 250 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then starts to derate: 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. The 15 000-cycle latching endurance tells you it's rated for frequent switching, not just backup protection.
The IP40 front rating means it's fine for enclosed panels; keep it out of direct spray.
