Product details

What this MCCB gives you

Three poles, line protection design, and a communication function onboard mean it talks to your control system while protecting the feeder. Breaking capacity hits 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V, so it handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream.

Selectivity and coordination

The 63 A frame with 440 kA at 240 V SCCR gives you headroom for selective coordination downstream — the breaker stays closed on a branch fault below its instantaneous pickup, letting the downstream device clear it. Insulation voltage rated 800 V means it's comfortable on 690 V line-to-line systems common in heavy industrial panels. The 3-pole form factor fits standard 3-phase distribution.

Panel fit

Communication wiring exits the front face; keep a 50 mm clearance above for the cable bend radius.
