Adjustable Short Time Delay
Seconds
SMD/SND models with an adjustable short time delay switch
allow for selection from two modes of short time delays. The
first range of settings enable the breaker to be set for fixed
time delays of .05, .1, .2, .3 or .5 seconds. The second range
of settings enable the breaker to be set for short time delays
based on 12t curves at six times the continuous amps setting.
See Figure 1 for possible settings for this switch.
