Interrupting capacity is substantial across common industrial voltages: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 15.3 kA at 690 V — meaning it can safely clear high-fault conditions without upstream coordination issues in most distribution panels. Built-in phase failure detection and communication capability make it suitable for motor control centers where you need remote status or trip indication — it's not a dumb thermal-magnetic; it talks back.
Panel fit and thermal reality
Footprint is 138 mm wide by 248 mm tall by 110 mm deep — standard SENTRON 3VA form factor for this frame size. Rated 500 A continuous up to 50 °C ambient. Above that, derate linearly: 477 A at 55 °C, 455 A at 60 °C, 432 A at 65 °C, 410 A at 70 °C. In a sealed, uncooled enclosure near other heat sources, expect to apply that derating.
