 Overload protection

 Thermal tripping curve

 the "thermal" part of the t (s)
tripping curve must be in
sesuai dg the standard tripping

Legend:
In = rated current In Ind Id I/In
Ind = no tripping current
Id = tripping current 4

 Overload protection

 Temperature derating
 our circuit breakers do not have temperature
compensation
 if the calibration temperature is different from
the ambient temperature: derating is required

Simultaneous multi-pole tripping 4

 Short-circuit protection

Short-circuit current is given as RMS or peak

(Isc or Îsc)
RMS = Root Mean Square in symmetrical DC
(with PF = I)

Short-circuit protection must limit thermal stress in the

cable in order to prevent cable damage (which may
reach vaporization of the copper in some cases)

 Front panel marking:  Side panel marking:

Circuit breaker marking is governed by strict

rules in accordance with the standards and
decisions made by the manufacturer 4

 Choosing a circuit breaker
In conclusion

 A Multi 9 circuit breaker is determined by:

 rating
 breaking capacity
 number of poles
 voltage
 tripping curve
 standard
 frequency
 type of load 4
