Note: *1 Use a load capacity 20 to 30% lower because of the skin effect.
3-12 MCCBs for high frequency circuits
Hydraulic-magnetic type and solid-state trip type MCCBs
cannot be used in 400Hz circuits because their characteristics
would vary considerably.
Since the instantaneous trip current of standard
thermalmagnetic MCCBs models (magnetic element) will
increase by 1.5 to 2.5 times the cataloged value around
400Hz, circuit breakers specially designed for use in 400Hz
circuits should be used (these models are available on
request). Because highcurrent rating MCCB (400AF to 800AF)
generate increased heat due to the skin effect, their load
capacity must be derated 20% to 30%.
Table 3-26 lists some FUJI MCCBs recommended for use in
400Hz circuits.
