Derating
Derating of MCB for use with fluorescent lights:
Ferromagnetic and electronic ballasts have a high inrush current for a short time. These currents can cause the tripping of circuit breakers.
At the time of the installation, it should take into account the maximum number of ballasts per circuit breaker that the manufacturers of lamps
and ballasts indicate in their catalogues.

Max operational Voltage 400 V 400 V 400 V 400 V

Derating at 40°C none none none none

Derating of MCBs
MCBs function of the number of devices side by side:
When several MCBs are juxtaposed and operate simultaneously, the thermal evacuation of the poles is limited. This results in an increase in
operating temperature of the circuit breakers which can cause unwanted tripping. It is recommended to apply the following coefficients to the
rated currents.

Number of circuit breakers

Coefficient

2-3 0.9

4–5 0.8

6-9 0.7

≥ 10 0.6

These values are given by the recommendation of IEC 60439-1, NF C 63421 and EN 60439-1 standards.
To avoid to have to use these coefficients, it is necessary to allow a good ventilation and to separate the devices with 0.5 module spacing
elements (cat. N° 4 063 07).

Selectivity between two levels of protection

. The downstream circuit breaker must always have a magnetic threshold and a rated current lower than those of the upstream protection.
. Selectivity is indicated total (T) if there is selectivity up to the value of breaking capacity (according to IEC / EN 60947-2) of the downstream
circuit breaker.

Selectivity between modular circuit breakers and fuses:
