The breaking capacity at 240 V AC is 440 kA, dropping to 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 53 kA at 690 V. That 440 kA figure at 240 V covers high-fault utility feeds; the 53 kA at 690 V still clears most industrial fault levels. The ETU860 electronic trip unit provides adjustable long-time delay (tr) from 0.5 s to 20 s, plus ground-fault summation on L+N. Communication function is built in — no separate module needed for remote monitoring. Front IP40 protects against tool entry in the panel.
