Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V — numbers that cover most industrial service entrances and distribution boards without cascading upstream. Thermal derating is published from 40 °C through 70 °C: 250 A holds flat through 50 °C, then drops to 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, and 213 A at 70 °C — useful when the breaker sits in a non-ventilated enclosure or near steam lines.
