Short Circuit Value Calculation

This document provides information on the integration and breaking capacity of 3VA molded case circuit breakers in accordance with IEC 61439. It includes a table that lists the different circuit breaker types and models, their rated short-circuit currents, and whether testing is required when the prospective short-circuit current is below or above 17kA. It also notes that the table shows an extract of the characteristic curves for a rated voltage of 415V, and provides additional resources for more information.

Explanation:
Rated short-time withstand current or rated conditional short-circuit current ≤ 10 kA r.m.s
 No test required
Rated short-time withstand current or rated conditional short-circuit current > 10 kA r.m.s

OK No test required: Ic ≤ 17kA

If prospective short-circuit-current is limited to x kA,


x kA
no test is required: Ic ≤ 17kA

> 17 kA Test required: Ic > 17kA
