The 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V (187 kA at 415 V) means this breaker can interrupt very high fault currents without upstream fuses or a larger-frame device; for a 63 A MCCB that is an unusually high interrupt rating, so it fits close to the transformer secondary or in a high-capacity switchboard.
Thermal derating and mounting — what changes above 55 °C
At 55 °C it drops to 60.6 A, at 60 °C to 58.3 A, at 65 °C to 55.9 A, and at 70 °C to 53.6 A. Power loss is 6.5 W maximum — negligible for ventilation planning in a typical distribution board, but worth noting if you pack multiple breakers in a sealed enclosure.
Lifecycle and sourcing — current production, quoted to order
No phase-out or last-time-buy horizon is announced.
