effect of ambient temperature

ambient temperature

The electrical and mechanical

characteristics are specified for an ambient
temperature between 5 and +60 C.
Masterpact circuit breakers operate from
10 and +70 C.
First closing minimum temperature: 30 C.
In addition, Masterpact circuit breakers
comply with IEC standards 68.2.1 and
68.2.2: exceptional storage temperature
from: 50 to +100 C.
The table below indicates the maximum
current rating, for each connection type, as a
function of the ambient temperature around
the circuit breaker and the busbars.
