acteristics of the devices
.
Information provided
on the time current curve
includes the following :
•
Product family type ( s )
.
•

Multiples of circuit breaker
trip rating are shown on the
top and bottom horizontal
axis
,
with time in seconds
on the vertical axis . Approx

mum clearing time is readily
determined from the charac -
teristics curves .
Tripping characteristics
meet
ANSI
,
NEMA and UL
standards for rating and
calibration
