6 Adjustable Tripping Settings of a Circuit Breaker | EEP

Continuous AmpsLong-Time DelayShort-Time PickupShort-Time DelayInstantaneous PickupGround Fault PickupShort-time pickup is used for selective tripping.The short-time pickup function determines the amount of current the breaker will carry for a short period of time, allowing downstream protective devices to clear short-circuits without tripping the upstream device. For example, a 1000 ampere frame can be adjusted to trip anywhere from 1500 to 10,000...See more on electrical-engineering-portal Schneider Electric
