1. Maximum voltage for which the breaker is designed and the upper limit for operation.
2. Current values in this column are independent of operating voltage up to and including rated maximum voltage.
3. Assymmettical interrupting capability is in accordance with ANSI/IEEE C37.04-1999 with % dc component = 48%.
