Detailed Specifications
Where variants differ, every value is listed in the same order as the compare table above. Tell us the SKU and we will confirm the exact figure.
Specifications from Schneider Electric’s product data for each SKU on this page (se.com, UAE). No efficiency figure is quoted because Schneider’s published row for it could not be read unambiguously. Where a row lists several values, they are the different values across the models on this page. Ask us and we will confirm any value against the unit.
Need-to-Know
