Molded-Case Circuit Breaker

K 1200 Line

GES-6111D

Types TKMA & THKMA

(300-1200 Amperes)

Adjustments
Long-time delay thermal trip: not adjustable.
Instantaneous magnetic trip: continuously
adjustable, factory set on HI.
Dc magnetic trip level approximately 40% higher
than ac values.
Blocks show trip range at marked points on
instantaneous dials.

Long-Time Delay and Instantaneous

Time-Current Curves
Curves show ambient-compensated circuit breaker in
open air, 10-50C, wired with conductors of corresponding
rating, no prior load. For all other ambients, use rating
shift index at top of sheet.
