It interrupts faults up to 4.5 kA per IEC/EN 60898-1, making it suitable for residential and infrastructure final circuits where moderate inrush currents (lighting, small motors) are expected.
Mounting position is unrestricted, so it fits in vertical or horizontal panel layouts. The neutral pole is switched (1P+N), and the supply cord can enter from any direction. Terminals accept conductors up to the listed cross-section; the unit is sealable for anti-tamper applications. IP20 rating applies with connected conductors.
Rated current is 16 A at 30 °C. At elevated panel temperatures the breaker derates: 15.04 A at 40 °C, 14.53 A at 45 °C, 14 A at 50 °C, 13.46 A at 55 °C, and 12.89 A at 60 °C. For a panel running at 50 °C, plan for a 14 A continuous load per pole.
