The C-curve means it tolerates inrush currents 5–10× rated before tripping magnetically — the standard choice for moderate motor starts, lighting banks, and transformer primaries in residential and light commercial infrastructure.
Pole configuration and panel fit
1P+N design — the live pole is switched and protected; the neutral pole switches only, no overcurrent protection on the neutral leg. That keeps the wiring simple for single-phase final subcircuits where you need to isolate both conductors but only protect the phase. Mounting position is unrestricted, so it fits horizontal busbar arrangements or vertical riser panels without derating the thermal trip.
Halogen-free and silicon-free construction; sealable with a lead or tag to prevent tampering after commissioning.
