5. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued):
Derating of RCBOs function of the number of devices side by side:
When several RCBOs are juxtaposed and operate simultaneously, the heat dissipation of the poles is limited. This results in an increase in
operating temperature of the circuit breakers which can cause unwanted tripping. It is recommended to apply the following coefficients to the
rated currents.
Number of circuit breakers
side by side
Coefficient
2 - 3
0.9
4 –5
0.8
6 - 9
0.7
10
0.6
These values are given by the recommendation of IEC/EN 60439-1 e NF C 63421 standards.
To avoid to have to use these coefficients, it is necessary to allow a good ventilation and to keep the devices apart with 0.5 module spacing
elements (cat. N° F80/05D).
