Product details

What this 400 A MCCB delivers — and where the ratings matter

Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 VAC and 121 kA at 415/440 VAC, tapering to 7.5 kA at 690 VAC — so the voltage class of your installation determines which fault level this breaker can clear without upstream coordination. Thermal derating is published across the full operating range: the breaker holds 400 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then drops to 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, and 340 A at 70 °C.

Dimensions are 248 mm high, 184 mm wide, 110 mm deep — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for 400 A frame size.

Frequently asked questions

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it is fitted with an undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release, plus one auxiliary switch and one trip alarm switch (HQ design).
