I found the manual and I tried translating parts of it. From what I can tell, the breaker on the right is not the main breaker, it's some sort of circuit protection system that senses minor variances in current differentials. I believe it's like a whole house surge protector.
"BACO Low Voltage Subscriber Circuit Breakers and Circuit Breakers for blue tariffs from 3 to 36 kVA: .Cut and cut off the entire installation.Protect against overloads and short circuits..Have a gauge adjustment for limit the power to the contract ERDF subscribes.Assure the protection of people against indirect contacts and prevents fire risks by monitoring the insulation level (differential version) .The selective differential allows a total selectivity with devices differential 30mA downstream ( NF C 15-100), and enhances the immunity to disturbances resulting from atmospheric or other phenomena (nuisance tripping)."
So, as you mentioned, the one labelled "Geral", is the main breaker and it looks like it's only a 40 A breaker. Which seems really low for a house. In Canada, the minimum for a home now is a 200 Amp panel.
