Product details

It carries a continuous current of 200 A up to 50 °C, derating to 176 A at 70 °C, so in a warm panel you lose about 12 % of the headroom — plan your load margin accordingly. The TM220 thermal-magnetic release handles overload and short-circuit tripping without an external trip unit.

Breaking capacity — the number that decides your fault level

This MCCB interrupts 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 76 kA at 440 V, and 30 kA at 500 V. Those are the rated short-circuit breaking capacities (Icu) at each voltage. If your transformer secondary or generator bus can deliver a prospective fault current higher than the rating at your system voltage, this breaker is not the right choice — you need a higher-rated frame or a current-limiting upstream device. The 187 kA at 240 V is useful for high-fault 240 V distribution panels; at 415 V the 121 kA covers most industrial switchboards.

The breaker measures 70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, and 158 mm high — a 4-pole MCCB that fits a standard panel footprint. The design of the N-conductor protection is 100 %, so the neutral pole is fully rated and trips with the phase poles — no need for a separate neutral disconnect.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

At 415 V AC the rated short-circuit breaking capacity is 121 kA.

What is the continuous current rating at 40 °C?

The continuous current rating at 40 °C is 200 A, and it holds that rating up to 50 °C before derating.
