Product details

The 3VA9978-0BB20: The 28.8 mm depth, 25.7 mm width, and 65.1 mm height match the accessory slot on the 3VA4/5/6 breaker body — it clips into the three-slot auxiliary bay on the side of the breaker. Overvoltage category III and a 4 kV surge voltage resistance mean this release is rated for the transient environment of a main distribution panel, not just a sub-panel.

No official successor exists because none is needed.
