recommendations derating

When thermal-magnetic trip units are used at ambient Altitude derating

temperatures other than 40 °C, the Ir pick-up is
breakers up to 2000 m. Above this altitude, it is necessary to take into account the
(m) decrease in the dielectric strength and cooling capacity of air.

Vibrations
CVS devices resist electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations.
Tests are carried out in compliance with standard IEC 60068-2-6 for the levels
required by merchant-marine inspection organisations (Veritas, Lloyds, etc.):
b 2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude ±1 mm
b 13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g.
Excessive vibration may cause tripping, breaks in connections or damage to
mechanical parts.

Degree of protection
CVS circuit breakers have been tested for degree of protection (IP) and mechanical
impact protection (IK). See page A-3.

The overload protection is calibrated at 40 °C in the lab. This means that when the
ambient temperature is less than or greater than 40 °C, the Ir protection pick-up is

To obtain the tripping time for a given temperature:

b see the tripping curves for 40 °C (see pages D-2 and D-3)
b determine tripping times corresponding to the Ir value (thermal setting on the
DB115053

(A) device), corrected for the ambient temperature as indicated in the tables below.

Power supply from the top or bottom

DB400038

CVS circuit breakers can be supplied from either the top or the bottom, even when
equipped with a Vigi earth-leakage protection module, without any reduction in
performance. This capability facilitates connection when installed in a switchboard.
All connection and insulation accessories can be used on circuit breakers supplied
either from the top or bottom.

Weight
The table below presents the weights (in kg) of the circuit breakers and Vigi module.
