It carries a 440 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, stepping down to 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. That's a serious fault-current rating for a 250 A frame; it handles high available fault currents without cascading upstream breakers. The N-conductor protection is adjustable — OFF, 50%, or 100% of the phase current — which gives flexibility for different system grounding schemes.
