Notes:
1. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the Long Delay. The memory
effect comes into play if a current above the Long Delay Pickup value exists for a
time and then is cleared by the tripping of a downstream device or the circuit
breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in
shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the
amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five
minutes is required between overloads to completely reset memory.

2. The end of the curve is determined by the application and the interrupting
rating of the circuit breaker.

5. Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip unit, the
circuit breaker opening and the interruption of the current.

6. The adjustable range of the instantaneous setting is 2xIn through 10xIn. The M1
setting can extend the range according to the rating plug value as shown below.
An OFF setting is available.

8. For Magnum SB Narrow and Standard frames, and Magnum Narrow Frames
MDNC, a fixed Instantaneous is always provided. The level is set at 18 x rms
15%. This protection is functional even when the Instantaneous is set to the
OFF position.
See Notes 6, 7
9. These curves are comprehensive for the complete family of Magnum Circuit
Breakers, including all frame sizes, ratings and constructions. The total
Instantaneous clearing times shown are conservative and consider the
maximum response times of the trip unit, the circuit breaker opening and the
interruption of the current under factors that contribute to the worst case
conditions, like: maximum rated voltages, single phase interruption and
minimum power factor. Faster clearing times are possible depending on the
specific system conditions, the type of Magnum Circuit Breaker applied and if any
arc reduction settings are employed. Contact Eaton Corporation for additional
information.

7. For circuit breakers rated 3200A and less, of MDSC type, an additional High
Instantaneous Trip Module is provided in the circuit breaker set to trip at a
170kA instantaneous peak current level. This protection is functional even
when the Instantaneous is set to the OFF position.
