EXPLANATION OF ELECTRICAL TERMS
Rated current
The rated current In is the rated value for a system, a power circuit or electrical equipment.
Operating current
The operating current Ib is the current that must fl ow during uninterrupted operation.
Overcurrent
Overcurrent is any current that exceeds the permissible current loading.
Overcurrent is the generic term.
Overload current is an overcurrent that occurs in an electrically fault-free power circuit.
Short-circuit current is an overcurrent that can occur due to an error.
