With Inertia Delay (F)
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 Description
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 specified interruption on
rated overcurrents.

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.
