Specifications for over-current release include applicable MCCB types and rated primary currents, with settings for various protective functions.
Let-Through Peak Current Characteristics
Charts and tables illustrate the maximum let-through peak current characteristics for various breaker models and voltage levels.
Discrimination and Selectivity
Discrimination is explained as the coordination of protective devices to ensure that only the device immediately upstream of a fault clears it, with tables indicating the level of discrimination between different breaker combinations.
Application Data
Guidance on reading discrimination tables and examples to achieve total discrimination in different scenarios are provided, along with the concept of cascading.
Introduction to Cascading
Cascading is a method where an upstream circuit breaker limits short-circuit currents, allowing downstream breakers with lower breaking capacities to interrupt the reduced current.

Recommendations for motor operators and external operating handles for MCCBs are provided, emphasizing safety features.
Operating Mechanism and Handles
Details on the components and operation of a circuit breaker mounted inside a cubicle are provided, including locking devices and insulation accessories.
Dual Supply Changeover Systems
Interlocking accessories prevent multiple AC voltage sources from supplying a system simultaneously, with details on the TemTransfer Automatic Changeover Controller.
Installation
Various connection and mounting options for TemBreak 2 MCCBs are described, including front and rear connections and cable clamp terminals.

10 REASONS TO USE TEMBREAK 2 1. FIELD-INSTALLABLE ACCESSORIES • Accessories can be fitted by the switchboard builder or added by the end-user. • Handles and motor operators can be rapidly fitted using the locking pegs. It takes less than 10 seconds to secure a handle or motor to the MCCB – a great time saving compared to alternative products. • All accessories are endurance tested to the same level as the host MCCB. Locking Pegs 2. SAFETY LOCK FOR PLUG-IN VERSIONS The plug-in MCCB is locked to the base when the toggle is ON. It cannot be removed unless the toggle is OFF or TRIPPED. The safety...

SAFETY PLUS Visual Safety You can easily see if a breaker is open, closed or tripped. SAFETY+ coloured indicators boldly display the ON or OFF status. The indicators are fully covered if a breaker trips, and black is the only visible colour. This is a unique safety feature. You can identify faulty circuits at a glance. The toggle position always matches the position of the main contacts. Touch Safety The risk of touching live parts has been minimised by design. These features reduce the risk of touching live parts: • There are no exposed metal screws on the front face • IP20 protection at the...

REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Longer Life Cycle It makes good environmental sense to install a product with a long life expectancy. If you install a TemBreak 2 MCCB, you can expect it to stay in service for at least 30,000 mechanical operations (250A Frame). This is 22,000 more operations than recommended by IEC 60947-2, the international standard for circuit breakers. If a system must be upgraded in future, we have made the following provisions for recycling: 1 The modular design of TemBreak 2 allows component parts and accessories to be easily disassembled and separately disposed of. Moulded...
