The C curve means it holds through moderate inrush (typical of small motors, transformers, or lighting banks) and trips fast on a hard short.
At 18 mm wide (1 MW), it occupies a single modular slot — critical when you're packing four poles into a tight enclosure. Mount in any position; pollution degree 2 (normal dry indoor environment) and overvoltage category III (distribution-level transients) cover the usual panel install.
