I: actual current
Ir: thermal protection against overloads (setting: Ir = x In)
Im: magnetic protection against short-circuits (setting: Im = x In or Im = x Ir)
As the abscissa of the curves represents the ratio I/Ir, modifying the setting of Ir will not
change the graphical representation of the thermal trip. However, the magnetic setting
can be read directly (between 3.5 and 10 in the example).
