It's built to protect branch circuits in final distribution panels — think lighting, socket outlets, or control transformers where the inrush is modest and the load is resistive or slightly inductive.
Breaking capacity and standards
Rated breaking capacity is 4.5 kA per EN 60898 and 6 kA per IEC 60947-2. For DC applications it's rated 15 kA at 72 V per IEC 60947-2, and 5 kA per UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235. The energy limiting class is 3, so it clears fast and limits let-through energy well.
Physical fit and mounting
Mounting position is any, which helps in tight retrofit panels.
