🔹 16 A version (A9N61531)
Breaker rating: 16 A
Max Isc supported = 16 ÷ 1.25 = 12.8 A
👉 So a 16 A C60H-DC can protect PV strings with Isc ≤ 12.8 A.
🔹 20 A version (A9N61532 – same series) link here
Breaker rating: 20 A
Max Isc supported = 20 ÷ 1.25 = 16 A
👉 So a 20 A C60H-DC can protect PV strings with Isc ≤ 16 A.
