The 250 A frame holds that rating flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 241 A at 55 °C and 213 A at 70 °C — so if your panel ambient runs hot, you still get full rated current up to 50 °C without oversizing. Breaking capacity is where this breaker earns its keep in high-fault installations: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V.
The 86 mm depth means it clears a 120 mm deep enclosure backplate with room for rear-connected busbars.
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
187 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating it carries at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 242 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 4.5 kA.
Yes, it ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) as part of the -0CL0 order code variant, plus 2 auxiliary switches, 1 trip alarm switch, and 1 electrical alarm switch (HQ).
