What type of mounting does this breaker support?


It supports DIN rail mounting, which allows for quick and secure installation within standard enclosures.

How does the tripping mechanism work in response to overloads?


The thermal-magnetic mechanism provides dual protection

the thermal element reacts to prolonged overloads, while the magnetic element ensures rapid tripping during short circuits.

What is the significance of the 10 kA breaking capacity?


This capacity ensures that the device can safely interrupt high fault currents, reducing the risk of damage to connected circuits and equipment.

How does the toggle switch reset contribute to user convenience?


The toggle switch allows users to reset the breaker quickly and easily after a tripping event, facilitating minimal downtime in operations.

What advantages does the Type C designation provide?


The Type C designation makes it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as motors and transformers, ensuring reliable protection without nuisance tripping.
