Footnotes
1. Maximum voltage for which the circuit breaker is designed, and the upper limit for operation.
2. K is listed for informational purposes only. For circuit breakers rated on a “kA basis”, the Voltage Range Factor is 1.0.
3. 3000FC indicates that fan cooling may be required in the switchgear structure to achieve this rating.
4. All values apply to polyphase and line-to-line faults.
5. Standard duty cycle is O - 0.3s - CO - 15s - CO.
