Note:
Time/Current characteristic curves for Series C M-frame circuit breakers--voltages shown in curve headings are
maximum at which the breaker may be applied. Interrupting capacity of inidvidual breaker is tabulated on each curve.
Note:
The following curves are UL489 Listed for use in North America.
The following circuit breakers are derived from Eaton, Westinghouse, or Cutler-Hammer history.
Time Current Curves are engineering reference documents for application and coordination purposes only.
For field testing molded case circuit breakers, refer to NEMA AB 4 guidelines.

by the tripping of a downstream device or the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload

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

3 Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip unit,
the breaker opening, and the interruption of the current.
4
Nominal Values (Pickup) (Tolerance is 15%) 2.5 x In.
5
The total clearing times shown are conservative and consider the maximum response
time of the trip unit, the circuit breaker opening, and the interruption of the current in
the worst case conditions such as: maximum rated voltages, single-phase interruption,
and minimum power factor. Faster clearing times are possible depending on the specific
system conditions.

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

Digitrip RMS 310 trip units are suitable for functional field testing with test kit Cat. No. STK2.
For field testing using primary injection methods, follow NEMA AB4 publications.
Calibration response in short delay pick-up range is same for 1, 2 or 3 poles in series.

4X

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

derating for ambient above 40C, refer to Eaton.
