The TM240 thermal-magnetic release handles the overload and short-circuit curve, so you get fixed-trip protection without a separate trip unit to configure.
The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient sits at 55 °C, you lose about 7 A of headroom — still enough for a 240 A continuous load, but the derating curve is what you check before committing the BOM line. At 140 mm wide, 158 mm tall, and 70 mm deep, it fits a standard MCCB slot in a SENTRON distribution panel; the IP40 front rating means it's protected against solid objects over 1 mm, but not sealed against dust ingress — fine for a clean indoor switchboard, not for a washdown environment.
