The 6 kA breaking capacity at 230/400 V AC is the standard domestic and light-commercial rating per IEC 60898-1; it safely interrupts a fault up to 6 kA without welding the contacts or cascading upstream. For industrial panels with higher prospective fault current (above 6 kA), you would step to the 5SJ4 or 5SY series with 10 kA or 25 kA ratings.
Deployment context
The 2-pole width (2 modules at 18 mm each) fits standard distribution boards and sub-distribution panels.
