Use of direct current apparatus

Variation in magnetic tripping
The thermal-magnetic trip units of the SACE Tmax XT circuit-breakers are suitable for use in direct cur-
rent applications. For the protection thresholds against short-circuits, correction values (Km) must be
used, according to the type of distribution network and to the number of poles to be connected in series
(the thermal threshold does not undergo any alteration).
The correction value to be used can be found in the following tables.
