Current and energy limiting curves DB79.eps The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is its aptitude to let through a current, during a short-circuit, that is less than the prospective short-circuit current. (Isc) Prospective Isc peak Limited Isc peak Actual current Limited Isc Prospective current Prospective Isc The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NSX range is due to the rotating double-break technique (very rapid natural repulsion of contacts and the appearance of two arc voltages in-series with a very steep wave front). (t) Ics = 0 % Icu The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NSX range greatly reduces the forces created by fault currents in devices. The result is a major increase in breaking performance. b b v it conducts the rated current without abnormal temperature rise v v suitability for isolation is not impaired. Longer service life of electrical installations Current-limiting circuit breakers greatly reduce the negative effects of short-circuits on installations. Thermal effects Mechanical effects Reduced electrodynamic forces, therefore less risk of electrical contacts or busbars being deformed or broken. Electromagnetic effects Economy by means of cascading Cascading is a technique directly derived from current limiting. Circuit breakers with breaking capacities less than the prospective short-circuit current may be installed downstream of a limiting circuit breaker. The breaking capacity is reinforced by the limiting capacity of the upstream device. It follows that substantial savings can be made on downstream equipment and enclosures. Current and energy limiting curves The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is expressed by two curves which are a b b Example page E-8 Maximum permissible cable stresses The table below indicates the maximum permissible thermal stresses for cables s.
