each rated current as a function of RMS value of pre- 72
arcing current I.
- Tolerances on this current ± 8 %.
- Beyond 30 sec, small overloads must be eliminated
by another device.
- Curve CC’ represents the maximum times taken by the
associated device to clear small overloads; only its
horizontal line is
represented. Its oblique line must be plotted accord-
ing to sketch, top right corner.
- The intersection of the fuse and CC’ curves indicates
the minimum breaking current I pm of the fuse.
