Breaking capacity is rated 6000 A Icn at 230 V AC per EN/IEC 60898-1 (the standard for household MCBs) and 10 kA Icu at 230…240 V AC per IEC 60947-2 (the industrial standard for circuit-breakers). The 20 A rating, combined with the 6 kA Icn, fits typical 2.5 mm² copper final subcircuits on a 50 Hz network. Clip-on mounting to a DIN rail (35 mm symmetrical rail per EN 60715) and a width of 18 mm (2 x 9 mm pitches) means it occupies a single module slot in a distribution board.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active line, no obsolescence concern
Compliance documentation is straightforward: the breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60898-1 and EN/IEC 60947-2, carries NF quality label, and is tropicalised per IEC 60068-1 (2 levels). The dual-standard certification covers both residential and light industrial approvals in one part number.
Integration — what fits where
Terminals accept tunnel-type connections: upstream and downstream both take 0.75…16 mm² rigid or 0.33…10 mm² flexible copper. The neutral position is left, and the toggle control gives clear ON/OFF local indication. Earth-leakage protection requires a separate block — this MCB does not include integral RCD. Mechanical and electrical durability are both rated at 20,000 cycles — typical for a panelboard MCB, not a frequent-switching contactor. Operating altitude is 2000 m; relative humidity up to 95% at 55 °C. Overvoltage category IV means it is suitable for the origin of the installation, not just downstream sub-distribution.
