Motor Protection
The following characteristic values in the relevant tables apply for the 3VL molded case circuit
breakers in motor protection with different trip classes:
● Trip class ETU10M fixed
● Trip class ETU30M adjustable
● Trip class ETU40M adjustable
Molded case circuit breakers for motor protection with fixed trip class ETU10M
Molded case circuit breaker characteristic
curve for motor protection with
molded case circuit breakers possess
an adjustable overload and short
-circuit
release and a fixed trip class.
-limiting and have a phase
failure sensitivity feature Communication via
PROFIBUS
DP and Modbus RTU is possible.
