1500 1500 Notes:
1. There is a thermal-imaging effect that can act

1000
900 900
to shorten the long-time delay. The thermal-
800 800 imaging effect comes into play if a current
700 700
600 600
above the long-time delay pickup value exists
500 500 for a time and then is cleared by the tripping of
400 400
a downstream device or the circuit breaker
itself. A subsequent overload will cause the
300 300
circuit breaker to trip in a shorter time than
normal. The amount of time delay reduction is
200 200
inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed
150 150 since the previous overload. Approximately 20
minutes is required between overloads to
SHORT-TIME
