2) Overcurrent release;
a) instantaneous;
b) The time limit;
Each one has nothing to do with the original load;
- Relevant to the original load (eg thermal release).
Note
1 The term "overload release" is customarily the same as an overcurrent release for overload protection (see 2.4.30 of IEC 60384-1). The term "short circuit
The tripping device" is customarily the same as the overcurrent release for short-circuit protection (see 2.1 1).
2. The term "adjustable release" as used in this standard also includes a replaceable release.
3) Undervoltage release (for disconnection);
4) Other release.

1) Shunt trip unit and undervoltage trip unit (for disconnection):
— rated control circuit voltage (UO;
One current type.
— Rated frequency (refers to AC).
2) Overcurrent release:
— Rated current ((I?) ;
— current types;
- Rated frequency (refers to AC);
- current setting (or setting range);
— The time setting (or the range of the setting).
The rated current of the over-current release means that the current value corresponding to the setting value of the maximum current can be carried under the test conditions specified in 8.3.2.5 (if it is AC, it is a valid value). Under this condition, the temperature rise does not exceed the table The specified value in 7.
4.7.3 Current setting of overcurrent release
For note 2) of circuit-breakers with adjustable release (see 4.7.12), the current setting (or range of current setting, optional)
Used) should be marked on the release or marked on the scale board. The mark can be directly marked on the trip unit in amperage or multiples of the current value.
For circuit breakers fitted with non-adjustable releases, the markings may be marked on the circuit breaker. If the operating characteristics of the overload release comply with the requirements of Table 6, it is sufficient to indicate its rated current (I.) on the circuit breaker.
In the case of a tripping device that is actuated indirectly by a current Transformer, the marking may indicate the primary current or target of the supplied current transformer.
The current setting value of the over-load release. No matter how marked, it should explain the transformation ratio of current transformer.
Unless otherwise specified:
- The operating value of the over-current release, except for the thermal type, means that there is no relationship between the temperature of the ambient air and the ambient temperature at a temperature of 10 to 40 °C at 5 °C;
— For thermal releases, the specified operating value is the reference temperature of +30°C ± 21C. The manufacturer shall specify the effect of changes in ambient air temperature (see item 7.2.1.2.4 2)).
4.7.4 Trip time setting of over-current release
1) Definite time limit over-current release
The delay of this release does not depend on the overcurrent. If the delay time is not adjustable, the tripping time setting value shall be expressed in units of seconds (s) with the opening time of the circuit breaker. If the delay time is adjustable, the tripping time setting value shall be broken. The maximum and minimum values ​​of open time are indicated.
2) Inverse time overcurrent release
The delay of this release depends on the overcurrent. The time-current characteristics should be given in the form of a curve provided by the manufacturer. These curves should show the relationship between the disconnection time from the cold state and the current change within the tripper motion range. The manufacturer shall specify the tolerances for using these curves in a suitable manner.
Both of these curves should give the maximum and minimum current setting values. If the time setting of the given current setting value is adjustable, it is recommended that each of these curves should also give each maximum and minimum time setting value.
Note: The proposed current is represented by the abscissa and the time is represented by the ordinate. Both coordinate axes are logarithmic. In addition, in order to facilitate the study of the cooperation of various types of over-current protection devices, it is recommended that the current be expressed in multiples of the setting current in accordance with the standard drawings detailed in 5.6.4 of GB 13539.1--1992 and the provisions in GB 13539.2-1992. s said.
