That 500 A holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient — no derating needed in a warm panel — then drops to 495 A at 55 °C and 480 A at 70 °C, which gives you a clean thermal budget for a 500 A motor feeder in a ventilated enclosure. Breaking capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V AC and 242 kA at 415/440 V, with 52.5 kA at 690 V — high enough for most industrial fault-current scenarios without needing a current-limiting upstream device.
Panel fit and mounting constraints
Dimensions are 248 mm high, 138 mm wide, 110 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size for 500 A. Front IP40 protection is sufficient for clean indoor panel environments.
