*Numbers in parentheses refer to the notes below.

(1) ANSI C37.06 does not define these ratings.

(2) Maximum voltage for which the breaker is designed and the upper limit for operation.
(3) K is the ratio of rated maximum voltage to the lower limit of the range of operating voltage in which the required symmetrical and
asymmetrical interrupting capabilities vary in inverse proportion to the operating voltage.
(4) To obtain the required symmetrical interrupting capability of a circuit breaker at an operating voltage between 1/K times rated maximum
voltage and rated maximum voltage, the following formula shall be used. Required Symmetrical Interrupting Capability= Rated Short-circuit
Current X (Rated Max. Voltage)/(Operating Voltage)
(5) Current values in this column are not to be exceeded even for operating voltages between the rated maximum voltage and 1/K times rated
maximum voltage, follow (4) above.
