Selection

To properly select a Class 9080 Type GCB circuit protector, follow these steps:

  • Determine the inrush correction factor from Inrush Ratio Correction Table.

  • Determine the temperature correction factor from Ambient Temperature Correction Table.

  • Determine the sealed current of the load that is being protected.

  • Multiply the sealed current by the two correction factors and choose the closest circuit protector.


note

Choosing a circuit protector with a value lower than the calculated value might cause nuisance tripping, while choosing the larger might provide a protector that will not properly protect the load .

Example: Solenoid with sealed current of 0.75 A, an inrush ratio of 1:6, and in an ambient temperature of 85oF: 0.75 x 1.5 x 1.05 = 1.18. Choose the 1.2 A protector.

Tripping Time: Tripping time of the circuit protector is determined from Tripping Times in Seconds. Divide the circuit protector value by the temperature correction factor from Ambient Temperature Correction Table to determine actual rated current referenced in Tripping Times in Seconds.

Footnotes

  1. Some products may be discontinued. Refer to www.se.com/us for the most current product information.
  2. These maximum current values assume the use of insulated copper conductors with 167 oF (75 oC) temperature rating and are calculated based on NEC Article 310, Table 310-16. In most cases this value is the maximum ampacity of the wire which has the greatest current carrying capacity. The actual allowable current for a particular application depends on the size, insulation class, and other characteristics of the wire used. The UL ratings are shown. The CSA rating may be higher or lower. Refer to the catalog for CSA ratings.
