Rated 13 A, Trip Curve C — what that means for the panel
The 13 A rating is the continuous current the breaker carries without tripping under normal conditions; the Curve C means the magnetic trip operates at 5 to 10 times rated current (65 to 130 A), making it suited for circuits with moderate inrush — typically motor starters, small transformers, or lighting panels where the initial surge is higher than a resistive load but not extreme. The 2-pole configuration protects both line and neutral in a single-phase circuit or one leg of a three-phase system.
Interrupting ratings and voltage limits
This breaker carries a 6 kA interrupting capacity at 277 VAC and 10 kA at 500 VDC. The DC rating at 500 VDC is notably higher than the AC figure, which matters for photovoltaic or battery-bank circuits where DC arcs are harder to extinguish. The breaker mounts on standard DIN rail per the S200MUC family footprint, so it integrates into existing panel layouts without adapter plates.
