What you're looking at
Rated for 230 V AC single-phase, C-curve tripping characteristic (the standard for moderate inrush loads like small motors, lighting banks, and control transformers), and it carries dual breaking capacities: 6 kA per EN 60898-1 for residential/light commercial panels, and 30 kA per IEC 60947-2 for industrial distribution where higher fault currents are expected.
Where you'd use it
This MCB is suited for mechanical engineering and industrial environments per the manufacturer's suitability listing. The combination of a C-curve and dual high-breaking capacity makes it a natural fit for machine control panels, conveyor line sub-feeds, pump starters, and HVAC equipment where you need to coordinate with upstream protective devices. The neutral conductor switching (1P+N) is useful in single-phase circuits where you want to guarantee the neutral is opened when the breaker trips — common in European-style distribution where the neutral is switched for safety isolation.
Certified to IEC/EN 60898-1 (the household/residential standard) and IEC/EN 60947-2 (the industrial standard), plus UL 1077 for North American supplementary protection. That dual certification means it's accepted in European panels (CE-marked) and can be used in UL-listed industrial control panels as supplementary protection — handy for machine builders exporting to both markets. The halogen-free and silicon-free construction is a plus for clean-room or sensitive electronic environments where outgassing matters.
