Electrical Characteristics:
Times vs current characteristics
These curves indicate, for each rated current, the pre-arcing time vs. the RMS pre-arcing current.
Tolerance for the mean pre-arcing current ± 9%
Total clearing I²T:
The horizontal curves show for each rated current maximum values of total clearing I

t
t
) as a
function of prospective current Ip @ 690V. cosϕ = 0.15.
Oblique lines indicate total clearing duration Tt and associated pre-arcing duration in brackets.
