What the D-curve and 10 kA rating mean for your panel
The 5SY4225-8FA: The D tripping characteristic (per EN 60898) means the magnetic trip operates at 10 to 20 times rated current — 250 to 500 A for this 25 A breaker. That suits loads with high inrush, like motor starters, transformers, or discharge lighting. For DC circuits, the maximum operating voltage is 72 V.
