Its 400 A frame carries a continuous current rating of 400 A up to 50 °C ambient, then derates linearly to 300 A at 70 °C — so in a warm panel (say 55 °C) you get 375 A of headroom, not the full 400. The interrupting ratings span 187 kA at 240 V AC down to 7.5 kA at 690 V AC, which tells you this breaker is built for high-fault 480 V and below distribution, not for 690 V motor circuits where the SCCR drops sharply. The adjustable overload trip range of 600 A to 4 000 A (likely the magnetic/instantaneous band, not the thermal) gives selectivity flexibility downstream.
Thermal management and panel integration
The breaker dissipates up to 96 W at full rated load. That heat has to leave the enclosure — plan for ventilation or a larger panel if you're grouping several of these in a single cabinet. The 4-pole width (184 mm / 7.24 in) matches the typical SENTRON 4-pole slot; verify the busbar or lug kit spacing if retrofitting into an existing panel.
