Molded-Case Circuit Breaker F 225 Line Types TFJ, TFK, THFK

Ambient Compensated Long-Time Delay and Instantaneous Time-Current Curves
Curves show ambient-compensated circuit breaker in open air, 10-50C, wired with conductors of corresponding rating, no prior load. For all other ambients, use rating shift index at top of sheet.

GES-6103F
Adjustments Long-time delay thermal trip: not adjustable. Instantaneous magnetic trip: continuously adjustable, factory set on HI. Blocks show trip range at marked points on instantaneous dials. Note1: Operation above 60 Hertz and 50C may require thermal and interrupting derating of the circuit breaker. Refer to Selection and Application Manual.
