Complementary Tripping curves

technical information

t The following curves show the total fault current breaking time, depending on its
DB124179

amperage. For example: based on the curve on page 3, an iC60 circuit breaker
of curve C, 20 A rating, will interrupt a current of 100 A (5 times the rated current In)
Thermal tripping limits in:
bb 0.45 seconds at least
bb 6 seconds at most.

The circuit breakers’ tripping curves consist of two parts:


bb tripping of overload protection (thermal tripping device): the higher the current, the
shorter the tripping time
Electromagnetic bb tripping of short-circuit protection (magnetic tripping device): if the current exceeds
tripping limits the threshold of this protection device, the breaking time is less than 10 milliseconds.
For short-circuit currents exceeding 20 times the rated current, the time-current
curves do not give a sufficiently precise representation. The breaking of high short-
circuit currents is characterized by the current limiting curves, in peak current and in
energy. The total breaking time can be estimated at 5 times the value of the ratio
(I2t)/(Î)2.
min. max.
Verification of the discrimination between two
circuit breakers
In By superimposing the curve of a circuit breaker on that of the circuit breaker installed
upstream, one can check whether this combination will be discriminating in cases of
overload (discrimination for all current values, up to the magnetic threshold of the
upstream circuit breaker). This verification is useful when one of the two circuit
breakers has adjustable thresholds; for fixed-threshold devices, this information is
provided directly by the discrimination tables.
To check discrimination on short circuit, the energy characteristics of the two devices
must be compared.

Complementary Tripping curves
technical information Coordination with loads

The circuit-breaker characteristics chosen depend on the type of load downstream of


the installation.
The rating depends on the size of the cables to be protected and the curves depend
on the load inrush current.
Product selection according to the load inrush current
When certain "capacitive" loads are switched on, very high inrush currents appear
during the first milliseconds of operation. The following graphs show the average
non-tripping curves of our products for this time range (50 μs to 10 ms).
