It is rated 6 A at 30 °C with a 30 mA residual trip threshold, Type AC (sensitive to sinusoidal AC fault currents), and a 6 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2. The C tripping characteristic handles moderate inrush from motor or lighting loads without nuisance trips.
Temperature derating and mounting
The 6 A nominal rating holds at 30 °C ambient. Above that, derate to 5.3 A at 40 °C, 5.2 A at 45 °C, 4.9 A at 50 °C, and 4.6 A at 55 °C — important for a crowded enclosure with limited airflow. Touch protection is built in.
