Product details

It carries a continuous current rating of 500 A at 40 °C, and the TM240 overcurrent release means the thermal-magnetic trip unit is fixed at a 240 A frame rating, so this breaker is sized for feeders or main switches in the 500 A class. The 800 V rated insulation voltage confirms it is suitable for 480/277 V and 600/347 V systems common in North American and European installations.

This MCCB delivers 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. For a 500 A feeder in a 480 V panel with an available fault current of, say, 65 kA, this breaker has headroom to spare.

Above that, it derates linearly: 488 A at 55 °C, 476 A at 60 °C, 464 A at 65 °C, and 452 A at 70 °C (–). In a sealed, uncooled enclosure, ambient inside the panel can easily reach 55–60 °C — so if you are pulling near 500 A continuously, factor in the derating. The 122.7 W maximum power loss is the heat the breaker dissipates at full load; that heat must be removed from the enclosure to stay within the derating curve.
