Footnotes:
Interrupting time is based on the first current zero

occurring not later than 66 ms after fault
initiation, for example, %dc component <100.
"xxxx" in type designation refers to the continuous

current rating 1,200 A, 2,000 A or 3,000 A, as
appropriate. The 4,000 A fan-cooled rating is
achieved using a 3,000 A circuit breaker in
combination with fan cooling in the switchgear
structure.
