It is designed for motor and transformer protection where inrush currents exceed those of standard B or C curves — the D curve allows a higher short-term magnetic trip threshold, so it won't nuisance-trip on the start-up surge of a pump or compressor. At DC (per IEC 60947-2) it is rated 15 kA; under UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 it carries 5 kA at AC.
