4.1.2 Degree of protection
The circuit breaker has the following degrees of protection (󹪝xed-mounted breaker and
withdrawable breaker):
• IP20 for circuit breakers, except for the terminals
• IP30 for the front of the circuit breaker if installed in switchboards with a door sealing frame
IP30 (see Chapter Accessories for connection and insulation (Page87))
• IP54 for the front of the circuit breaker if installed in switchboards with a padlockable
protective cover IP54 (see Chapter Accessories for connection and insulation (Page87))
4.1.3 Power loss
To ensure the electrical switchboards have the capacity to carry rated uninterrupted current, the
power loss of the circuit breaker must be considered in planning the electrical switchboard.
The values shown in the table refer to the total power for three and four-pole circuit breakers
with balanced loads at a current that correspond to the rated uninterrupted current I

at
50/60Hz.
