The residual current element trips at 100 mA, Type AC, meaning it detects sinusoidal AC earth faults — the common domestic and light industrial waveform. The 20 A rating is the nominal current at 30 °C ambient. At elevated panel temperatures the unit derates: 18.8 A at 40 °C, 18.2 A at 45 °C, 17.4 A at 50 °C, and 16.2 A at 55 °C. For a BOM line feeding a 16 A continuous load in a 50 °C enclosure, this still holds margin; a 20 A load at that temperature would nuisance-trip.
Width is 18 mm (1 MW), depth 77 mm, height 125 mm. Installation depth is 70 mm. Mounts in any position on standard DIN rail. Touch protection is built in.
