What this MCB does on the rail
Rated 277 VAC and 500 VDC, with an interrupting capacity of 6 kA at 277 VAC and 10 kA at 500 VDC. The DC rating is notably high for a 2-pole MCB this size — 500 VDC at 10 kA covers string-level solar combiner boxes and DC distribution in industrial control panels, where a fault can sustain an arc longer than AC. The 6 kA AC interrupt rating is standard for downstream subpanels fed from a transformer or a larger upstream breaker; it is not sized for service-entrance duty.
