Product Information

The ‘Stablok’ circuit breakers, manufactured by Federal Electric Type, are indicated by the colour of the operating handle; white for Type 1, green for Type 2, orange for Type 3 and black for Type 4. They are suitable for Pollution Level 2 and their classifications and applications are shown in Tables 1a, and 1b. Usually, these circuit breakers are sold by electrical retailers: they are simple to install, safe, and easy to use even after many years without maintenance.

They have current ratings from 6 A to 125 A, a maximum rated short- circuit capacity (I cn) of 25 kA and an impulse withstand voltage (U imp) of 4 kV. It means at Isc=10kA 2P breaker is much reliable and can withstand up to Icu=20kA than 1P or 1P+N breakers (Icu=10kA).If it was a curve of disconnection times versus voltage in the regs and not a table no one would care, as 230V and 240v would have times very similar. That's quite a large difference and hence the reason why the national standards in other European countries do not include Zs tables, only the formula is provided.

Otherwise, responsibility for the testing and integrity of the compatibility between devices would be down to the contractor. In industrial applications can be used breakers certified as per IEC 60947-2 or IEC 60947-2 and 60898 both. However if we calculate it we get a higher permissible Zs while still being in compliance with BS7671 411.These are all Type 2 circuit breakers and their fault current rating can be determined by the infill paint in the operating handle.

For a TT system we assume most of the volt drop is in the earth path, not the live, so the voltage from faulty kit to earth is more like 200V plus, so the maximum safe exposure time is reduced.
