  • Page 48 Description 2.9 Electronic trip unit ETU The selective behavior of circuit breakers can be implemented technically by a variety of selectivity concepts: • Current selectivity The selectivity can be calculated in the overload range by comparing the time/current characteristics. In the short-circuit range, this comparison leads to values that are too low. The reason for this is that the trip unit behaves differently in the case of short-circuit currents compared to its long-term behavior, e.g.
