It's a 3-pole unit rated for a continuous current of 250 A at 40 °C, and it holds that same 250 A rating all the way up to 50 °C — so you don't have to derate for a warm enclosure unless you're pushing past that. At 55 °C it's still at 241 A, at 60 °C it's 232 A, and at 70 °C it's 213 A, which gives you a clear thermal curve to size against. The interrupting ratings are what make this breaker stand out: 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. It ships with a built-in auxiliary switch and trip alarm switch (1 each, HP type), so you get remote status indication for both the breaker position and whether it tripped on fault.
