MCB's.

Answer Posted / stephy

B-curve: magnetic trip units operate between 3 & 5 In
protection of very long cables
protection of networks supplied by generators

C-curve: magnetic trip units operate between 5 & 10 In
protection of standard networks

D-curve: magnetic trip units operate between 10 & 14 In
protection of circuits that supply high inrush
current loads: transformers, motors, etc

I just purchased a 4 position cam switch to be used to operate a 3-speed blower motor. The motor is a 10 amp motor and has 3 wires that are used to control speed. The cam switch was rated at 660V 20 amps but when I received it, I noticed that it has AC-15 operational current rating (Ie) of 4/5 amps. If I am reading the label correctly. the 4/5 amps is related to 440v/220V (Ue). Other ratings are AC-3: 5.5A, AC2: 7.5A and AC-4: 1.5A. My questions are 1) Is it safe to use this switch with the motor I have 2) what is the difference between the 20 amp Ith ratting and the Ie operational ratings?
