■ the busbar trunking short-circuit protection level can be either total or partial:
v total protection: the busbar trunking is protected up to the ultimate breaking
capacity of the circuit-breaker
v partial protection: the busbar trunking is protected up to a high short-circuit
current level (e.g. 55 kA) but less than circuit-breaker ultimate breaking capacity
(lcu) (e.g. lcu = 70 kA).
