Notes: 1 Wiring selection consideration: I

(Short-time wiring tempereture:160°C maximum, continuous region:70°C), and rated current of the wiring
t
rated current of the MCCB (ELCB).
2 The let-through current(I
2
t) is lower the MCCBs (ELCBs) in the table because short-circuit current can be limited by factors like wiring impedance in an actual
circuit. This lowers thermal stress on the wiring.
