Instantaneous tripping current - For Type D - Above 10 In up to and including 20 In
For test requirements (with the MCB cold, and again for Type D), for test currents of 10 In then:
0,1 s < t < 4 s
(for In ≤ 32 A)
0,1 s < t < 8 s
(for In > 32 A)
Where the MCB is rated less than 10 A then t < 8 s is permissible
For test currents of 20 In then t < 0,1 s
The standard requires the tripping characteristic of circuit-breakers to be contained within the zone defined by the parameters above
