IB
as defined in the IEC255-8 thermal operating characteristics. It is the value of current above which 100% of
thermal capacity will be reached after a period of time and it is therefore normally set slightly above the full load
current of the protected device.
The thermal state may be reset from the fascia or externally via a binary input.
Thermal overload protection can be inhibited from:

3.10 Current Protection: Line Check 50LC, 50G LC and 50SEF
LC – Only software option ‘C’
If a fault appears on the line during the Close Pulse. This prevents a CB being repeatedly closed onto
a faulted line. A line check element is provided for phase, earth and sensitive earth fault elements.
In total two line check elements are provided -1, & -2.
