Basic Configurations
WavePro™ low voltage power circuit breakers are available
in various levels of interrupting capacity (IC) and are
identified with a suffix in the model number. WPS indicates
“standard IC”, WPH indicates “high IC”, WPX indicates
“extended IC” and WPF indicates “integrally fused”.
High IC and extended IC breakers are used with larger
kVA substation transformers as well as in parallelling appli-
cations. Fused circuit breakers take the IC rating to 200kA
rms symmetrical for the highest short circuit applications.
Refer to Table 3.1 for the interrupting capacity (IC) of
WavePro breakers at system operating voltages.
Refer to Table 32.2 for available fuse ratings.
