This document provides limiting and breaking values for overcurrent protective devices like circuit breakers, fuses, and residual current operated circuit breakers (RCBOs) according to standards like BS 7671, BS 3871, BS 3036, BS 1361, BS 1362, and BS 60898. The values shown are maximum breaking currents in kiloamperes (kA) for various standard nominal current ratings from 5 to 200 amps. It also lists typical breaking capacities for BS 88 'Gg' fuses and BS 3871/60898 circuit breakers.
