BREAKING CAPACITY CURVES
The breaking capacity is a critical parameter on the design and the application of the relay. Its mechanical life could be
considerably reduced, depending on the value of the load (especially with heavy duty loads), the number of operations
and the environmental conditions in which the relay is operating.
