16 A, Curve K, 1-Pole — What It Handles
The K curve means it's tuned for moderate inrush — think motor starters, solenoid valves, transformer primaries — where the start-up spike is higher than a resistive load but not the extreme of a D curve. It sits in the panel protecting a single branch circuit, not a main feed.
Interrupting Capacity — 15 kA AC, 10 kA DC
Rated interrupting capacity of 15 kA at 230 VAC and 10 kA at 125 VDC. That's enough for most sub-distribution panels fed from a 100 kVA transformer or smaller — it clears a bolted fault without welding contacts. The DC rating covers control circuits on battery-backed systems or rectified supplies; 10 kA at 125 VDC is a solid figure for a 1-pole breaker this size.
Lifecycle — Still in Current Production
Lifecycle status is listed as current — this is an active, manufacturered part, not a phase-out or last-time-buy. No successor needed; it's the standard offering for this rating and curve. For BOM planning, it's a stable line item.
Panel Fit — DIN Rail, Single Module Width
Single-pole width means it takes one module slot in the enclosure. No special busbar or adapter needed for a single-pole branch; standard comb busbar works if you're ganging multiple breakers.
