| Current rating | 250 ANeeds confirmationThe UL98B row of BENY's BH-250 datasheet and the BH-250-2P page print 250A at 1500V, the value shown. The same datasheet's IEC60947-3 row prints 125A\160A 200A\250A and the page highlights print 80A-250A for the series; these describe the series, not this code, and are not recorded as its current. ConditionsPrinted as 250A at 1500V in the UL98B row of the datasheet's wiring graph (text layer: "Poles in series Number of Strings 1500V 250A") and as "Rated Current 250A" on the product page; the derating table prints 250A at 1500VDC. Series-level note (flagged, not a value of this code): the datasheet's IEC60947-3 row prints 125A\160A 200A\250A and the product page highlights print "2P 1500V 80A-250A" for the BH-250 series.
