Product details

It is a 3-pole unit with a full-scale rating of 160 A and an initial trip threshold of 32 A, meaning the thermal-magnetic trip curve starts its overload detection at that lower pickup point before ramping to the full 160 A continuous current rating. Rated interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V.

The 86 mm depth leaves clearance behind the breaker for wiring and busbar connections. This variant includes a communication function and comes factory-fitted with 2 auxiliary switches HP for status feedback. That is the typical setup for solidly-grounded systems where you want ground-fault protection without a separate GFCI module.

Maximum power loss is 25.5 W at rated load, which is typical for a 160 A frame MCCB and should be factored into the enclosure thermal budget.
