In.


Explanation:
I doubt whether this is "inches" as some suggested. This is a thermal-magnetic line protection, circuit breaker, and we are told that there is "no thermal setting option". therefore, this leaves one alternative, current (I). I imagine the ting trips at 10 tmes the nominal current rating. Was the "n" in subscript by any chance?
Pse send more context on the switchgear etc. -
