The overcurrent release is an ETU350 electronic trip unit, adjustable for coordination studies. Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 79 kA at 500 V; at 690 V it drops to 4.25 kA, so watch your system voltage when sizing for fault current.
The breaker holds 160 A straight through 50 °C ambient; above that it derates to 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C.
At 415 V the breaker is rated for 121 kA breaking capacity. At 240 V it reaches 187 kA; at 500 V it drops to 79 kA; at 690 V it is 4.25 kA.
It uses an ETU350 electronic overcurrent release. The breaker also includes a shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release but no undervoltage release, no auxiliary contacts, and no communication function.
