Its interrupting capacity reaches 242 kA at 240 V AC and 187 kA at 415 V, tapering to 3.7 kA at 690 V — so at typical 400 V industrial feeds the breaker clears fault currents up to 187 kA without cascading upstream.
The breaker occupies 86 mm depth × 105 mm width × 181 mm height — a compact 3-pole frame that fits standard Siemens SENTRON mounting bases. Plan for the UVR coil wiring when laying out the panel; the auxiliary switch terminals sit on the side face.
It is sourced to order through our independent distribution channel. Submit an RFQ and we will confirm current availability and pricing at quote time.
187 kA at 415 V AC, sufficient for most industrial distribution downstream of a transformer secondary.
Yes, it comes with an undervoltage release (UVR) factory-fitted, plus two HQ auxiliary switches for status indication.
