Thermal-magnetic trip units use a bimetallic strip for overload protection and a magnetic coil for short-circuit protection. Electronic trip units use sensors and a microprocessor to provide more precise and adjustable protection characteristics, often with additional features like ground-fault protection.
Select the rated current based on the load current and cable size. The rated current should be equal to or slightly higher than the maximum continuous load current, but must also coordinate with the cable's ampacity to ensure proper protection. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines and applicable standards.
The tripping curve defines the magnetic trip threshold relative to the rated current. Curve B trips at 3-5 times rated current, suitable for resistive loads. Curve C trips at 5-10 times, for inductive loads. Curve D trips at 10-20 times, for high inrush currents like motors or transformers.
The breaking capacity must exceed the prospective short-circuit current at the installation point. If the breaking capacity is too low, the breaker may fail to interrupt a fault, to equipment damage or fire. Always verify this parameter with the manufacturer for the specific application.
