Its breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 VAC, 121 kA at 415/440 VAC, 75.6 kA at 500 VAC, and 4.5 kA at 690 VAC — so the SCCR you need at your system voltage is what governs the fit, not the headline 187 kA figure.
The 3-pole design with line-protection trip curve suits feeder and main breaker positions in 480Y/277 V and 400/230 V distribution.
At 500 VAC the breaking capacity is 75.6 kA; at 440 VAC it is 121 kA. For 480 V systems, the 440 V figure (121 kA) is the applicable reference per IEC 60947-2.
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.
The rated continuous current is 160 A, and it holds that rating across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C without derating.
