Breaking current in kA

k Weighting

factor

Max. permissible number of interruptions

During the type tests 10000 mechanical operation cycles

were carried out.

Fig. 57

Max. permissible number of interruptions as a
function of the breaking current.

The chart (Fig. 57) relates to one pole of a triple-pole circuit-breaker. Three times the number of the permissible
single-pole opening operations may thus result in a triple-pole circuit-breaker (e.g. 18 single-pole opening
operations with 50 kA).

Weighting factor k simplifies calculation of the max. permissible number of interruptions at different breaking
currents.
