That's the standard for most distribution boards in Europe and markets that follow IEC. Thermal derating is built in: at 40 °C the continuous rating drops to 2.84 A, at 55 °C it's 2.59 A. If your panel runs hot — near a drive cabinet or in a sun-baked enclosure — size up one amp to keep nuisance trips off the route. Single-pole design (1P, one modular width unit at 18 mm wide) means it protects one phase.
Siemens rates this MCB for residential buildings and infrastructure — think lighting circuits, socket outlets, small appliance feeds in a distribution board.
