Current and energy limiting curves

Compact NSX current and energy limiting characteristics are identical to those of
Compact NS. Both ranges offer the same protection of downstream equipment
(switch-disconnectors, busbar trunking systems, cables) in relation to their
electrodynamic withstand capacity.
