Product details

It is a 3-pole unit rated 250 A continuous at 40 °C, with a full-scale adjustable trip range from 375 A up to 2 500 A.

This breaker carries a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) that varies sharply with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. At typical North American 480Y/277 V or 600 V industrial services, the 75.6 kA and 4.5 kA figures respectively tell you where this breaker can safely interrupt a fault without welding contacts or venting arc gas.

Thermal derating — don't size by the 40 °C sticker alone

Above that, it derates linearly: 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, and 200 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient hits 60 °C — common in a non-conditioned enclosure near a furnace line — you only get 225 A continuous out of this frame. Maximum power loss is 48 W, which matters for enclosure heat-rise calculations.

Built-in communication and ground-fault monitoring

This variant includes a communication function for remote trip indication, current metering, and parameter readback via the SENTRON communication bus or a gateway module.

That's a 4.13-inch wide footprint — standard for a 250 A frame MCCB — so it fits a typical 3-pole breaker slot in a Siemens panelboard or a separate enclosure. No trip indicator window on the front face, so you'll rely on the communication output or a handheld ammeter for status.

Frequently asked questions

What does the communication function on this MCCB do?

It enables remote trip indication, current metering, and parameter readback via the SENTRON communication bus or a gateway module, without needing a separate power meter.
