Breaking capacity tells the real story for fault coordination: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and at 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, dropping to 3 kA at 690 V.
IP40 on the front face means it's splash-protected from tools and fingers but not washdown; mount it inside a gasketed panel if the line sees hosedown.
187 kA at 240 V AC. That's the highest interrupting rating on the voltage table, suited for high-fault-current service entrances.
Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same 105 mm wide frame, so the footprint and mounting pattern match. The difference is in the trip unit and accessories — verify the 8HN42 variant's wiring scheme if your panel uses auxiliary contacts or shunt trips that this 5HL36 version may not carry.
