Footnotes:
"xxxx" in type designation refers to the
1
continuous current rating 1,200, 2,000 or
3,000 A, as appropriate. The 3,000 A fan-
cooled rating is achieved using fan cooling as
indicated in Footnote 4.
Maximum design voltage the circuit breaker is
2
designed for and the upper limit for operation.
K is listed for informational purposes only. For
3
circuit breakers rated on a "constant kA basis,"
the voltage range factor is 1.0.
4 3000FC indicates fan cooling is included in the
switchgear structure for this rating. 3000 A
rating is not available in outdoor equipment.
5 All values apply to polyphase and line-to-line
faults.
6 Standard duty cycle is O - 0.3s - CO - 3 min. -
CO.
7 Three-cycle (50 ms) interrupting is optionally
available.
