Let Through Energy

I2t – Let through Energy is available thermal energy resulting from Current Flow during circuit opening. I2t (of circuit breaker) < K2S2 (of cable)

AC Utilization Categories IEC 60947

Utilization Categories indicate the type of Load and Duty Cycle of the load basis which selection of Switchgear should be done for the intended application.
