The breaking capacity is 6 kA per both EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2, which means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level in a 230/400 VAC installation — sufficient for most residential and light commercial sub-distribution boards.
The 16 A rating holds at 30 °C ambient; at 40 °C it derates to 14.9 A, at 45 °C to 14.1 A, at 50 °C to 13.8 A, and at 55 °C to 13.3 A. If the panel runs warm, size the load accordingly. For circuits with variable-speed drives, LED lighting, or UPS systems, a type A or type B RCD is needed.
Occupies 7 modular width units on a DIN rail — 126 mm total width, 90 mm height, 77 mm depth. Touch protection is built in. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, which matters for environments sensitive to corrosive off-gassing (data centers, clean rooms, food processing).
