When adjustable rating plugs are used, short delay pickup


settings track the selected position of the adjustable rating plug.
For example, with an adjustable 800 Amp rating plug set at 50%,
and the short delay pickup set at 4x, the short delay pickup is
800 x 50% x 4 = 1600 Amps.

When adjustable rating plugs are used, short delay pickup


settings track the selected position of the adjustable rating plug.
For example, with an adjustable 800 Amp rating plug set at 50%,
and the short delay pickup set at 4x, the short delay pickup is
800 x 50% x 4 = 1600 Amps.

When adjustable rating plugs are used, short delay pickup


settings track the selected position of the adjustable rating plug.
For example, with an adjustable 2000 Amp rating plug set at 50%,
and the short delay pickup set at 4x, the short delay pickup is
2000 x 50% x 4 = 4000 Amps.
