Additional characteristics Current and energy limiting curves
The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is its aptitude
to let through a current, during a short-circuit, that is
less than the prospective short-circuit current.
Ics = 100 % IcuThe exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NSX range greatly reduces the
forces created by fault currents in devices.
The result is a major increase in breaking performance.
b b v it conducts the rated current without abnormal temperature rise
v v suitability for isolation is not impaired.
Longer service life of electrical installationsCurrent-limiting circuit breakers greatly reduce the negative effects of short-circuits
on installations.
Thermal effects
Mechanical effectsReduced electrodynamic forces, therefore less risk of electrical contacts or busbars
being deformed or broken.
Electromagnetic effects
Economy by means of cascadingCascading is a technique directly derived from current limiting. Circuit breakers with
breaking capacities less than the prospective short-circuit current may be installed
downstream of a limiting circuit breaker. The breaking capacity is reinforced by the
limiting capacity of the upstream device. It follows that substantial savings can be
made on downstream equipment and enclosures.
Current and energy limiting curvesThe limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is expressed by two curves which are a

The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NSX range is due to the rotating double-break technique (very rapid natural repulsion of contacts and the appearance of two arc voltages in-series with a very steep wave front).
