Electrical Data
Calibration:
Breaker will continuously carry 100% of rated load. It may trip
between 101% and 135% of rated load, but must trip at
135% within one hour at +25°C.
Dielectric Strength:
Over 2,000 volts rms.
Maximum Operating Voltages:
50VDC; 250VAC to 400 Hz..
Interrupt Capacity:
1,000 amps at 50VDC; 250VAC, 60Hz.; 125/250VAC,
400 Hz.
1,500 amps at 125/250VAC, 60 Hz.
Resettable Overload Capacity:
Ten times rated current.

To use this chart:
Read up from the ambient
temperature to the curve, and across to find a
correction factor. Multiply the breaker rating by the
correction factor to determine the compensated
rating. Calculate the overloads in terms of the
compensated rating to use the published trip curve.
