12 IZM32 / IN32 low voltage air circuit breaker MN013017EN May 2022 www.eaton.com
Section 2: Receiving, handling, and installation
2-10 Technical data
Ambient temperature
Derating coefficients are given in the table below when the circuit breaker is operating at different internal ambient
temperatures inside the panel. The ambient temperature inside the panel is determined with IEC8900, calculation methods
or equivalent methods.
Rated currents of the circuit breakers at different ambient temperature
Bus bar dimensions
The bus bar sizes are shown in the table below. This table uses data specified by IEC 60947-1 or obtained by Eaton in
their circuit breaker testing. They are 3-meter-long bus bars with the faces vertical and painted flat black. For other bus
bar configurations, larger bus bar sizes may be required or the breaker may have to be de-rated. Refer to the table (Rated
currents of the circuit breakers at different ambient temperature) presented in this section for de-rating information at higher
ambient temperature. Two example diagrams are recommended below.
