MCBs and Accessories Data

1. Ambient Operating Temperature

With CBI Hydraulic-Magnetic Miniature Circuit Breakers, there is no effect on the fixed trip point at ambient
temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

2. Certification
Products comply to local and international standards (SANS, VC, IEC, etc.).

3. DC Voltage Rating
Please refer to CBI catalogues / leaflets for DC ratings.

4. For Reverse Feeding

Contact CBI for details.

5. Module Width
CBI’s MCB module widths are:
• 13 mm and 26 mm dual mounting (escutcheon height 57 mm).
• 13 mm and 18 mm in DIN rail mounting (escutcheon height 45 mm), Suffix “D” (page 92)

6. Special Breakers
For all breakers manufactured to non-standard requirements, prices will be by quotation only
Technical Section

7. Standard Current Ratings

Ampere ratings as indicated are standard. Non-standard ratings can be provided – Prices on Request
(POR).

8. Switch Disconnectors
All switch disconnectors must be backed up by a suitable short circuit protection device (SCPD), having
the same or lower current rating and the same interrupting capacity as the switch disconnector, unless
otherwise stated. Contact CBI for availability of 4 Pole switch disconnector units.

MCBs and Accessories Data

1. Adjustable Current Ratings

From the FD range upwards, some breakers are fitted with adjustable magnetic trips. The suffix “V/E” types
also have adjustable overload trips. “E” (electronic) types down to 50% of nominal rating and suffix “V”
(mechanical) types down to 75% of nominal rating.

2. Calibration
CBI thermal breakers are calibrated at 40°C, unless otherwise stated. Derating for higher temperature
environment to be done in accordance with derating curves.

3. Reverse Feeding
Contact CBI for details. Units indicated line / load should not be reverse fed.

4. Special Breakers
Prices for all breakers made by CBI to meet non-standard rating requirements of customer will be by quotation
only.

5. Standard Current Ratings

Ampere ratings indicated are standard. Non-standard can be provided, on application at a surcharge of up to
20% of the next standard rating price, depending on quantity, product type and acceptance by CBI.

Technical Section
6. Switch Disconnector Fault Ratings
The fault current ratings of CBI switch disconnectors which are fitted with shunt trips and external tripping
devices are the same as those of the corresponding circuit breakers. Additional of interface barriers is
mandatory.

7. Terminations
Consult CBI Catalogues for details.

8. Transient Inrush and Close Co-ordination Protection

Higher transient motor starting current associated with some high efficiency motors have created nuisance
tripping problems. Consult CBI when in doubt.

9. DC Interrupting Capacity
Refer to CBI DC Catalogue for details.

10.Motor Starting
In addition to cable protection functions, the CBI circuit breakers are designed for induction motor starting and
protection duties. These breakers are particularly suited to direct-on-line starting applications for standard
type motors in conjunction with a contactor overload combination or as a stand-alone unit.

For complete details, refer to the “Motor Starting and Protection Application Guide” and “Circuit Breaker
Selection Guide for DOL Motor Starting”.

Warranty Claims

Products may only be returned to CBI for warranty claims if all conditions under Section 7, Limitation of Liability,
of CBI’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale have been met (copy available upon request).

Notes:
1. All information in this table is for reference and selection purposes only, and only direct line (DOL) starting
2. Breaker selection is based on 4 Pole three phase squirrel cage motors and certain deviations may be encountered for different motor manufacturers
3. Circuit breaker settings are based on rated motor current multiplied by 1.6 to prevent starting current from exceeding the instantaneous pick-up current of the circuit breaker
4. For complete details refer to the “Circuit Breaker Selection Guide for DOL Motor Starting”
