Tripping characteristics type "B" and type "C"

Tripping characteristic type "B" Tripping characteristic type "C"

Miniature circuit breakers with tripping
characteristic "B" are designed for
universal use in socket outlet circuits and
lighting circuits Verification of personal
safety according to DIN VDE 0100-410 is
not required.
