Current limitation 

The term "current limitation" refers to the action of limiting the peak value of the prospective 

impulse short-circuit current i

p

 to a lower let-through current i

D

.  

The compact design of the breakers has been made possible by their excellent current 

limiting capabilities. In the event of a short circuit, the molded case circuit breaker 

significantly reduces the magnitude of let-through current, i.e. it reduces the current loading 

of downstream equipment (lower thermal load, fewer dynamic forces). The level of let-

through energy is also reduced to a considerable extent. 
The 3VA UL molded case circuit breakers are designed as current-limiting molded case 

circuit breakers; however, they do not have "current limiting certification" according to 

UL 489.
