Table 4. Curve notes
1. These curves apply for 50Hz and 60Hz applications.
2. The maximum voltage rating for the frame style is stated in curve.
3. These curves are comprehensive for Power Defense style motor circuit protectors including frame sizes, ratings and constructions stated.
4. The total clearing times shown include the response time for the trip unit, the breaker opening and the interruption of the current.
5. The end of the curve is determined by the application or the interrupting rating of the circuit protector.
6. All current values are in RMS amperes.
