Notes: 1. The minimum value of this trip is 1s regardless of curve type (self-protection)
2. These tolerances apply under the following conditions:
- self-powered relay at full power (without start-up) - presence of auxiliary power supply
- two-phase or three-phase power supply - preset trip time ≥ 100ms
3. Curve accuracy applies from -20 C to +55 C ambient.
For possible continuous ampere derating for ambient above 40 C, consult Rockwell Automation.
4. The right portion of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker.
5. Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip unit, the breaker opening, and the
interruption of the current.
10000861848 (Version 01) 6. For high fault current levels an additional fixed instantaneous hardware override is provided at 40 kA.
