Re: 2 Speeds

Just going to drop this tidbit here from the spec sheet located here which is about the 120 amp Breaker and is also in the PNG

Based on their tolerances the breaker should be able to run at 240amps for 10-40 seconds without tripping or 160 amps for somewhere around a minute of time.

The 40 amp snap actions are much more prone to tripping, as low as 6 seconds at 135% current as seen here (Snap action breakers)
