CURRENT IN AMPERES

TOTAL CLEARING TIME-CURRENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVES

TRIPSAVER™ DROPOUT RECLOSER

BASIS—The total clearing time-current characteristic curves shown
above are applicable over the entire TripSaver Dropout Recloser operating
temperature range of -40°C to +40°C. No adjustments need be made to
these curves for ambient temperatures within this temperature range.
TOLERANCES—Curves are plotted to maximum test points; all varia-
tions are minus.
APPLICATION—The maximum continuous current-carrying capability of
S&C TripSaver Dropout Recloser is 50 or 100 amperes RMS, depending
on the control module selected.
Since TripSaver time-current characteristics are electron-
ically derived, they are not subject to change due to aging, transient
overcurrents, or fault currents.
SYSTEM FREQUENCY—50 Hz.
