LOAD
The time/current characteristic depends on the ambient temperature.
To determine the maximum permissible load current, the rated device
current must be multiplied by the temperature factor and the series
mounting factor must be taken into account.
Temperature factor table:
Ambient temperature [°C] 0 10 23 40 50 60
Temperature factor 1 1 1 0.95 0.90 0.85
Note:
When mounted in series, the rated device current can be supplied to
a maximum of 80 % or must be oversized accordingly (see Technical
Information at E-T-A: www.e-t-a.de/ti_d).
With high temperatures, the load current warning threshold »warn limit
typically 0.9 x I
N
« will be reduced in accordance with the temperature
factor!
Current rating selection of the circuit protector ≤ Current rating of the
power source.
