It's a 3+N-pole unit with a D tripping characteristic and a 3 A current rating — sized for motor or transformer branch circuits where high inrush is expected, not for general lighting or resistive loads.
D-curve and deployment context
The D characteristic means the magnetic trip fires at 10–20× In (30–60 A for this 3 A unit). That's the right curve for loads with a high starting surge — think small motors, solenoid banks, or control transformers. On a DIN-rail panel, this 3+N-pole format takes four module widths; factor that into your fill count and derating if the enclosure runs warm.
