The OP is asking “why is the D20 tripping before the CFI6 on overcurrent, when I believe the CFI6 is more sensitive to overcurrent”. The proper answer is “the CFI6 does not monitor for overcurrent (only leakage) so of course it’s not tripping on overcurrent”. It’s not a matter of different curves. Yes 41A is more than the CFI6-25 should see but it won’t cause a trip, only danger. | |

(first time I see a chart with the separation, other info only highlighted the magnetic part) | |
