Notes:
3000

1. If Long Delay thermal memory is enabled, trip times may be shorter than indicated on
this chart.
2000

2. The end of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker.
3. The Long Delay Pickup Point (indicated by rapid flashing of Unit Status LED on the product)
occurs at 110%, with a 5% tolerance. The Instantaneous settings have conventional 100%
10% at the pick up points.

4. With Zone Selective Interlocking enabled, max trip times w/o aux power are as follows:

600

3-phase fault
75ms
85ms

60 Hz
50 Hz

500
400

When only one pole is carrying current and a fault occurs, trip times increase to 90ms at 60Hz and
95ms at 50 Hz, however with Aux power these times would be reduced by 10%.

8. Curve applies from -20C to +55C ambient. Temperatures above +85C cause automatic trip.
Breaker must be applied according to Continuous Rating at Different Ambient table.
9. These curves are comprehensive for the complete family of Magnum breakers, including all
frame sizes, ratings, and constructions. The total clearing times shown are conservative and
consider the maximum response times of the trip unit, the circuit breaker opening, and the
interruption of the current under factors that contribute to worst case conditions, like: maximum
rated voltages, single phase interruption, and minimum power factor. Faster clearing times are
possible depending on the specific system conditions, the type of Magnum Circuit Breaker applied,
and if any arc reduction settings are employed. Contact Eaton for additional information.
