Determination of the Tripping/Opening Current Value
For the description to determine the tripping/opening current value, refer to chapter 10.12.4.1 Description.
Calculation of Remaining Switching Cycles
A double-logarithmic diagram provided by the circuit-breaker manufacturer illustrates the relationship of
permitted switching cycles and the tripping/opening current, see the following figure. According to the
example, this circuit breaker can operate approximately 1000 times at a tripping current of 10 kA.
2 points and their connecting line determine the relationship of switching cycles and tripping current. Point P1
is determined by the number of permitted switching cycles at rated normal current I
rated
. Point P2 is deter-
