This curve is for 50Hz or 60Hz applications.

Notes:
3000
1. This curve is shown as a multiple of the PICKUP setting (Ir). The TimeDial setting
combined with SHORT PU and SHORT TIME setting (shown in heavy lines) depict
2000 the IEC-C response. The Instantaneous, shown as a separate response, can be
set to OFF.

2. Curve Equation:
2
Trip = TimeDial *[ 80.0/ (I - 1)], where I is a multiple of Ir.
1000
900 For current > 1.2xIr tolerance is [±15%] or [-15%, +90 ms], whichever is larger.
800 TimeDial curve goes to flat response at 14xIr with a shorter time of TimeDial
700 function or SHORT TIME function prevailing if curves overlap. The ShortTime
600 function and the TimeDial function act independently and the entire TimeDial
500 curves continue to be active even after the curves intersect.

400 3. With Zone Selective Interlocking enabled, max trip times w/o aux power are as
follows:
300
3 Phase fault
60 Hz 75ms
Adjustable PICKUP
50 Hz 85ms
200 0.4 to 1.0x In = Ir
with 0.05 increments When only one pole is carrying current and a fault occurs, trip times increase to
See Note 4 90ms at 60Hz and 95ms at 50 Hz, however with Aux power these times would be
reduced by 10%

100 4. The actual pick up point (indicated by rapid flashing of Unit Status LED on the
90 product) occurs at 110% of the Ir, current, with a ±5% tolerance. The SHORT

70 PU settings have conventional 100% ± 5% as their pick up point.

5. SHORT PU has also has a M1 setting , which may extend out where the
50 SHORT PU will become active.

8. Curve applies from -20°C to +55°C ambient; temperatures above 85°C cause
automatic trip.

9. These curves are comprehensive for the complete family of Magnum breakers,
1 including all frame sizes, ratings, and constructions. The total clearing times shown
.9 are conservative and consider the maximum response times of the trip unit, the
1.00
.8 circuit breaker opening, and the interruption of the current under factors that
.7 0.90 contribute to worst case conditions, like: maximum rated voltages, single phase
.6 0.80 interruption, and minimum power factor. Faster clearing times are possible
0.50 s depending on the specific system conditions, the type of Magnum Circuit Breaker
.5 0.70
applied, and if any arc reduction settings are employed. Contact Eaton for
0.60 additional information.
