Breaking capacity is the headline: 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. At 690 V the 17 kA still covers most industrial distribution needs.
The breaker carries 250 A continuously up to 50 °C ambient. Above that it derates: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. Physical dimensions: 105 mm wide, 158 mm tall, 70 mm deep. The 70 mm depth leaves room for rear busbar connections in a typical distribution cabinet.
At 240 V it is 220 kA; at 415 V it is 154 kA; at 440 V it is 75.6 kA; at 500 V it is 30 kA; at 690 V it is 17 kA. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level.
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock or price figures are published here.
Rated 250 A continuous. It holds 250 A up to 50 °C, then derates to 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. Use the derated value for hot enclosures.
