Technical data
b Tripping curves: C curve - Overcurrent protection for any type of application.
b Positive break indication - the green strip indicates that all the poles are open and allows work to be carried out
on the downstream circuit in complete safety.
b Suitable for isolation as defined in IEC / EN 60947-2.
MCB Suitable for b Increase in the service life of the product: thanks to fast closure independent of the speed of action on the
isolation. handle.
b Current limitation in the event of a fault: fast opening of the contacts prevents the loads from being destroyed in
the event of a short-circuit.

Temperature derating (according to UL 1077/ CSA22.2/ UL489A/ UL489/ IEC 60947-2 standards)
The maximum permissable current in a device depends on the ambient temperature in which it is placed.
Ambient temperature is the temperature inside the enclosure or switchboard in which the devices have been
installed.
The reference temperature is in the coloured column.
When several simultaneously operating devices are mounted side by side in a small enclosure, the temperature
rise inside the enclosure causes a reduction in the current rating. A reduction cœffficient of the order of 0.8 must
therefore be allocated to the rating (already derated if it depends on the ambient temperature).
