ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades Main Switch or Circuit Breaker?

C-H,
Are you saying that Type E will trip quicker than either Type B or C curve MCB's?
Reason I ask this is because we use B curve breakers here for standard domestic installations here, C curve is used in places like commercial installations, where there might be a bit of inductive loading or for Submain cables to an out-building.
D-curve is used exclusively for motor protection.
Now any type of E-curve breaker (never having heard of it before and with it being a Selective type also) makes me think that it could be a heavier type, not unlike our Selective RCD's that have a trip level of 300mA.
Your thoughts?.
