mance and low current let-through to reduce damaging
energy to downstream equipment at high fault levels.
24 ■ Withstand ratings up to 100 kA to maximize system
coordination and selectivity.
■ Three physical frame sizes (Narrow, Standard and
25 Double) to promote breaker application in compact
modular enclosures.
■ Continuous current ratings from 800 to 6000 A with 100%
26 rating at 40ºC and no derating on most ratings up to 50ºC.
■ Fixed breaker mounting configurations with horizontal
27 and optional vertical and front connected terminal
connections.

Interrupting ratings shown based on breaker equipped with integral Digitrip RMS Trip Unit. Interruption ratings for non-automatic breakers are
equal to the published Short Time Withstand Rating. These interruption ratings are based on the standard duty cycle consisting of an open operation,
a 15-second interval and a close-open operation, in succession, with delayed tripping in case of short-delay devices. The standard duty cycle for short
42
time ratings consists of maintaining the rated current for two periods of 1/2 seconds each, with a 15-second interval of zero current between the
two periods.

Refer to MDSL current limiter curves for let-through and time characteristics.
The recommended ratings shown provide for reduced current let-through and breaker coordination within the trip unit settings. Selection of
current limiters below the recommended ratings shown provides lower current let-through, however, trip unit settings must be considered to avoid
nuisance operation.

Interrupting ratings shown based on breaker equipped with integral Digitrip RMS Trip Unit. Interruption ratings for non-automatic breakers are
equal to the published Short Time Withstand Rating. These interruption ratings are based on the standard duty cycle consisting of an open operation,
42
a 15-second interval and a close-open operation, in succession, with delayed tripping in case of short-delay devices. The standard duty cycle for short
time ratings consists of maintaining the rated current for two periods of 1/2 seconds each, with a 15-second interval of zero current between the
two periods. 43
