Re: Average Energy per match

My gut feeling tells me that those parts of the graph were intentionally left out because of the internal heat generated.


As for the circuit breaker, I have uploaded the data sheet. Note that 600% overload is capable for a few seconds. Remember that these devices are temperature controlled so that short periods of overload with a cool off between could and does occur regularly. I have only seen or been asked to check a tripped breaker a few times over the years we have been using them. I can only truly point to two instances of breaker trip and both were due to mechanical faults.


Sorry it is not uploading I will check back later.
