With Inertia Delay
NRA Application
Common curves used in molded-case circuit breakers.
Response to overcurrent is quite fast. Suited for protection of semiconductor circuits with
very little overload tolerance. If overcurrents are expected to flow, fuses may be required
according to the circuit characteristics.
Suited for motor loads that draw high inrush currents lasting a considerable length of time.
Designed not to trip on 20 times the rated current (peak value) for a duration of 8ms. Suited for
transformer and lamp loads that draw steep inrush currents.

Inertia Delay Descriptions
Percent of Rated Current
Circuit breakers equipped with inertia delay do not respond to high inrush currents such as
those produced by transformer, lamp, or motor loads, but perform the specified interruption
on the rated overcurrents.
Specify inertia delay by inserting an “F” in the part number as shown in Part Number Guide
on previous page.

Notes
Multi-Pole
Multi-pole types such as 2- or 3-pole should be assembled by IDEC.
Because of their characteristics, 1-pole breakers cannot be combined to provide multi-pole units.
Auxiliary and Alarm Contacts
Multi-pole units can incorporate auxiliary and alarm contacts.
Auxiliary and alarm contacts will not work with IDEC’s DIN rail adapters.
