Protection & Trip Characteristics
Thermal Overload Protection: Protects against sustained overloads, ensuring the circuit breaker trips after a certain time if the current exceeds the rated value
Magnetic Short-Circuit Protection: Instantaneous protection against short-circuit currents, which ensures that the breaker trips rapidly to prevent damage to the circuit
Trip Characteristics: The breaker typically uses a C-curve, making it ideal for general-purpose circuits, where moderate inrush currents are expected
Adjustable Settings: Some models may offer the ability to adjust overload and short-circuit protection settings based on application needs
