Its breaking capacity is 10 kA per EN 60898 for residential/commercial branch circuits, and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial panel duty; that 15 kA figure is the one that matters for a machine builder certifying to IEC 60947-2, since it confirms the breaker can safely clear a fault up to that level without welding contacts or cascading upstream. That 18 mm width is the critical panel-fit number — it matches the standard 1-MW slot in any SENTRON or SIRIUS distribution board, so a panel layout built around 18 mm modules will accept this breaker without re-spacing the gland plate.
The C-curve and 1-pole form factor make it a drop-in replacement for any panel originally designed around a 1-module C-curve MCB — no rewiring, no DIN-rail rework.
