Three poles, line-protection design, with an integrated shunt trip (STL) release for remote tripping via a control voltage. The 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V drops to 121 kA at 415/440 V and 75.6 kA at 500 V; at 690 V it still clears 4.5 kA. That means this breaker handles high-fault utility feeds at common distribution voltages without cascading upstream.
