Product details

Part identity and breaking capacity

Its interrupting rating is 10 kA per IEC/EN 60898-2 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 at DC — the higher figure applies when the breaker is applied under the industrial standard, giving headroom for high-fault panels where the 10 kA IEC 60898 rating would be the limit for residential or commercial branch circuits.

Voltage and duty

Rated for universal-current operation (AC/DC). AC operating voltage is 400 V; DC rated voltage is 440 V, with a maximum DC operating voltage of 500 V. Single-phase and multi-phase AC ratings both sit at 440 V. Frequency range is 50/60 Hz.

Ambient operating range spans -40 °C to 75 °C, with humidity derating above 55 °C: 95% RH up to 55 °C, 55% RH to 70 °C, 35% RH to 75 °C. Mounting position is any orientation; fastening is via the quick-assembly system (DIN rail). The 36 mm width occupies 2 modular units.
