Maximum T otal Clearing Time

Notes: 1. Curve accuracy applies from -20 C to + 55 C ambient. Temperatures above + 85 C cause an over-temperature protection trip. For possible continuous ampere derating for ambient above 40 C, refer to Cutler-Hammer. 2. Application frequency is 50/60 Hz. 3. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the Long Delay. If the breaker trips on a Long Delay overload and is quickly reset, the memory cap will still have charge and a subsequent overload will cause the breaker to trip in a shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset memory. 4. The right portion of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. 5. The left portion of the curve is shown as a multiple of the Long Delay Setting. (Long Delay Pick Up = 115% of Ir). Range is 110 - 120%.

6. Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip unit, the breaker opening, and the interruption of the current. 7. The Short Delay Pick Up has nine settings/positions; 2-8, 10 and 12. 8. Short Delay I2T band has a tolerance of + 15%. 9. Breakpoint back to FLAT response occurs @ 8x Ir for upper line of the I2T curve.
