It breaks up to 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 — so it handles high-fault utility feeds and transformer secondaries without cascading upstream. Two HQ auxiliary switches for status feedback.
At 55 °C it derates to 60.6 A, at 60 °C to 58.3 A, and at 70 °C to 53.6 A.
Yes, it has a shunt trip (STL) undervoltage release designed into the auxiliary release slot, plus two HQ auxiliary switches for status feedback.
