Circuit breaker with an S release
In order to ensure selective interruption of short-circuits when circuit breakers with delayed
short-circuit release are used, the safety margin between the lower tolerance value t
sd-u
of
the S release delay time and the upper tolerance band t
S-O
of the time-current characteristic
must be at least about 100 ms.
① Dynamic selectivity zone
② Tripping characteristic
③ Time-current characteristic
