The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates 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 warm enclosure near other heat sources. Maximum power loss is 50.5 W, which matters for ventilation planning in a sealed panel.
Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard MCCB footprint for 3-pole 250 A frames, so it drops into most existing SENTRON or third-party panel cutouts without re-drilling.
The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in), fitting standard MCCB panel cutouts.
