Product details

Three poles, line-protection design, with a breaking capacity of 242 kA at 240 V and 187 kA at 415/440 V.

The interrupting ratings drop off steeply above 500 V: 121 kA at 500 V, then 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 63 A frame holds a 95 A minimum to 756 A maximum magnetic trip range, so it coordinates with downstream branch breakers sized for motor or feeder loads.

Power loss is 4 W maximum, so internal cabinet heating from this breaker alone is negligible even in a sealed enclosure. The 4 auxiliary switches HQ are pre-wired at the factory; no add-on module required for status indication.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

242 kA at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V.
