Characteristics
TemBreak thermal magnetic MCCBs are available from 50AF to 800AF. Depending on the type
of MCCB chosen the thermal and/or magnetic trip setting may be adjustable.

Note that the magnetic setting is a multiple of the nominal current In and not the rated current Ir.
All thermal and magnetic trip settings are expressed as AC r.m.s. values.
All MCCBs are calibrated at 45C unless otherwise specified.

Example 1
The XS160NJ set at its maximum thermal
setting of 160A experiences an overload of
640A.
What would be the tripping time?

Solution
As the axis are 'percent' rated current the
overload as a percentage to rated current is
640 = 400%
160
The maximum and minimum on the curve are
the tolerance bands. Therefore at 400%
overload the tripping time would be as follows:
Max. trip time 30 seconds
Min. trip time 10 seconds
Average trip time 20 seconds

Solution
At 55C the ambient compensating factor is
97%, i.e. 160 x 0.97 = 155A.
In other words the XS160NJ would act as an
MCCB set at 155A, in 55C.

Generator protection
The steady state current produced by a generator under a fault condition can be as low as 3 to
5 times the rated full load current. In this situation
it is advisable to use a 'generator protection'
MCCB. This has its magnetic setting calibrated
low enough to trip quickly on low generator
faults, as shown in the table on the right. The
thermal part of the characteristic curve is the
same for the corresponding MCCB.
