datasheet for HLG 600 48a Question

On the input section of datasheet it says Max # of psus on 16a circuit breaker .....1 unit on btype breaker and 2 on a ctype breaker. If its 3.3A/230 and 2 would only be 6.6A why would 16a breaker not be enough? I just went and checked breaker i planned to run 2 off of and its a 30A so im ok but still seems odd. Is it the inrush current that would stress 16A breaker.

Yes, initial current of the device and the way b and c type breakers are engineered one pops at 3-5x initial current and c type pops at 5-10x initial current. You are correct! I think if dedicated circuits are used it would work on either one.

Thanks for conformation. I have a 30a double pole E.T.N type CL 230 120/240. The type CL must be a type C. It has one 240 outlet and one 120 outlet with 15a a piece i believe so i think im good to run 2 on 240. I have been running 4 hlg 240 1400ma on it for years and i believe the datasheet for them said 3psu was limit.
