That means in a warm panel — say, next to a drive or a transformer — it doesn't derate until you push past 55 °C, where it drops to 60.6 A, then 58.3 A at 60 °C, 55.9 A at 65 °C, and 53.6 A at 70 °C. The interrupting capacity tells the real story: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. Those numbers cover most industrial service-entrance and feeder applications where fault current is high.
This MCCB bolts into a panel or enclosure — no DIN-rail clip.
It is rated 121 kA at 415 V, and the same 121 kA at 440 V. At 240 V it is 187 kA, at 500 V it is 79 kA, and at 690 V it is 4.25 kA.
Width is 105 mm, height is 181 mm, depth is 86 mm.
