Circuit Breaker Time/Current Curves (Phase Current)Series C® N-Frame Circuit BreakersEquipped With Type NES Digitrip RMS 310 Trip UnitsThe NES Digitrip RMS 310 Trip Units are AC only devices that employ microprocessorbased technology that provides true RMS current sensing means for proper correlationwith thermal characteristics of conductors and equipment. They are used with CircuitBreaker Types ND, CND, HND, CHND, NDC, and CNDC.

There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay. The memory effect comes intoplay if a current above the long delay pick up value exists for a time and then is cleared by thetripping of a downstream device or the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will causethe circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction isinverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately fiveminutes is required between overloads to completely reset the memory.

For high fault current levels a fixed instantaneous override is provided at 14000A (Tolerance±15%).

The end of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. See abovetabulation.
