Phase loss
sensitivity
The phase loss sensitivity of the circuit breaker ensures that it is tripped in
good time in the event of the loss of a phase and the resulting overcurrents
in the other phases.
During normal operation, the device should have a three-pole load. To pro-
tect single-phase loads or direct current loads, all 3 main conducting paths
should be switched in series.
Explosion protection
Note
In the case of a three-pole load, at 5 to 8 times the set current, the release
time deviates by a maximum of ± 20% and therefore complies with the
requirement of DIN VDE 0165 and EN 50019: 1977 +A1 to A5 and
DIN VDE 0165.
Characteristics
The tripping characteristic of the inverse-time delayed overload release
(thermal overload release, a-release) is valid for direct current and alternat-
ing current with frequencies of 0 to 400 Hz.
The characteristics are valid for tripping operations from a cold state. From a
warm state, the release times of the thermal releases are reduced to
approximately 25 %.
The tripping characteristics of the instantaneous electromagnetic overcur-
rent releases (short-circuit release, n-release) is based on the rated current
I
n
, which in circuit breakers with adjustable overload releases is also the
upper value of the adjustment range.
The following is a chart of the time-current characteristic:
