The interrupting ratings are substantial: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V or 440 V, and 187 kA at 500 V, dropping to 3.7 kA at 690 V — so it handles high fault currents at the lower voltages common in industrial switchgear. That's a practical advantage for a panel in a hot machine room or near a furnace line — you don't have to oversize the frame for ambient temperature.

It interrupts 330 kA at 240 V, which is a very high rating for a 40 A frame — suitable for large transformer secondaries or high-fault-point distribution.
Rated 40 A continuous, and it holds that rating from -25 °C to 70 °C with no derating. The thermal curve is flat across the operating range.
