Discuss Inrush current in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I'd of personally said its a thermal, magnetic Mccb. In which case your a little bit off plugsandsparks

Baisically In the thermal-magnetic trip element circuit breaker, a magnetic element (electromagnet) is connected in series with the circuit load, and a bimetallic element is heated by the load current. With normal circuit current, the bimetallic element does not bend, and the magnetic element does not attract the trip barIf the temperature or current increases over a sustained period of time, the bimetallic element will bend, push the trip bar and release the latch. The circuit breaker will trip.

This combines overload protection with short circuit protection.

Sorry re-reading that sounds like I'm trying to teach you to suck eggs. Just much help other people who don't know.

This is all just a presumption, I haven't looked up that type or breaker to confirm.
