between 101% and 135%, but must trip at 135% within one
hour at +25°C.
Dielectric Strength: Over 2,000 volts RMS.
Maximum Operating Voltages: 50VDC; 250VAC to 400 Hz.
Interrupt Capacity: 1,000 amps at 50VDC; 250VAC, 60 Hz. and
125/250VAC, 400 Hz.
• Combines on/off switch and circuit protection in a single unit.
• 2 to 20 amp ratings (<2A types available as special order).

Ambient Temperature In Degrees Centigrade (°C)
To use this chart: Read up from the ambient
temperature to the curve, and across to find a
correction factor. Multiply the breaker rating by the
correction factor to determine the compensated
rating. Calculate the overloads in terms of the
compensated rating to use the published trip curve.
