Its breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault utility feeds and transformer secondaries without cascading upstream.
Above that it derates: 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, 340 A at 70 °C (–). The 184 mm width and 248 mm height are standard for this frame class; the 110 mm depth leaves room for rear-access wiring gutters.
187 kA at 240 V. At 415 V and 440 V it's 121 kA, at 500 V it's 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it's 7.5 kA (–).
An ETU320 electronic overcurrent release. It's a line-protection design with no undervoltage release, no voltage trigger, and no ground-fault monitoring.
