Trip curve information
Trip curves are an essential part of the System pro M compact miniature circuit breaker
offering. Manufacturing tolerance of the short circuit tripping function allows a
miniature circuit breaker to be selected according to the application. When selecting
a trip curve for the application, load type and inrush current are driving factors in the
selection process. System pro M compact circuit breakers offer up to five trip curves
to meet varying applications.
Below is a visual summary of the trip curves (per Typical loads by trip curve
standard) and typical load types, along with the Z Curve
tripping range as compared to the nominal current. • Designed to protect circuits that need a very low
The graph at the bottom right provides a visual short circuit trip setting
summary of the trip curves. • Ex: Semiconductors

Z Curve
• Designed for cable protection
• 2 x I n < ITripp < 3 x I n (AC)
• Ex: Control circuits, lighting
• 3 x I n < ITripp < 4.5 x I n (DC, SU 200 M)
• 3 x I n < ITripp < 6 x I n (DC, S 200 UDC)
C Curve
• Designed for medium magnetic startups
C Curve
• Ex: Lighting panels, control panels
• 5 x I n < ITripp < 10 x I n (AC)
• 7 x I n < ITripp < 15 x I n (DC, SU 200 M)
D and K Curves
• Designed to allow for high inrush loads
K Curve
• Ex: Motor or transformation circuits
• 10 x I n < ITripp < 14 x I n (AC)
• 14 x I n < ITripp < 21 x I n (DC, SU 200 M) 120
