Mike:
I was looking for breaker information when I found your post... You state that the MX5-A40 can deliver 133A for around 3 seconds. As I read the data sheet, 133A represents around a 300% overload, which would trip in substantially less than 3 seconds (0.5 to 1.1 seconds). Am I missing something?

All in all, you get what you celebrate. The more we celebrate the under-served parts of our team the more students step up and make that part great. - Alpha Beta [more]
