So I needed a triple single pole Wago able to power a circuit protected by a 30a blade fuse.

According to the Wago details on RS, etc, Wago offer cable size up to 4mm2 as a nominal 32a and 6mm2 as 41a, and this was marked on the box from the local wholesaler.

However, upon opening and checking I had the right terminals I noted the nominal 32a are individually marked 20a, and so I asked for the higher rated 41a, to find these individually marked 30a.

This seems rather strange to find the maker's box showing one rating and yet individually marked with a considerably lower rating.

Which is correct ?
