Note:
Time/current characteristic curves for Series C® F-frame circuit breakers—voltages shown in curve headings are
maximum at which the breaker may be applied. Interrupting capacity of individual breaker is tabulated on each curve.
Time Current Curves are engineering reference documents for application and coordination purposes only.
For field testing molded case circuit breakers, refer to NEMA AB 4 guidelines.

2 There is a thermal memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay. The amount
of time delay reduction is inversely proportional to the amount of time that has
10 elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required
between overloads to completely reset this thermal memory effect.
