18、 type. _ 2 EN 60898-2:2006 1 Scope and object This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows: Addition at the end of the first paragraph: This standard gives additional requirements for single- and two-pole circuit-breakers which, in addition to the above characteristics, are suitable for ope
19、ration with direct current, and have a rated d.c. voltage not exceeding 220 V for single-pole and 440 V for two-pole circuit-breakers, a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated d.c. short-circuit capacity not exceeding 10 000 A. NOTE This standard applies to circuit-breakers able to make and b

Circuit-breakers suitable for d.c. circuits with a time constant of T 15 ms. NOTE It is assumed that short-circuit currents of 1 500 A are n
23、ot exceeded in installations in which, due to the loads connected, time constants in normal service up to 15 ms can occur. Where higher short-circuit currents may occur, the time constant of T = 4 ms is considered sufficient. 3 EN 60898-2:2006 5 Characteristics of circuit-breakers Clause 5 of Part 1

NOTE 2 Wherever in this standard there is a reference to 230 V or 400 V, it may be read as 220 V or 240 V, and 380 V or 415 V respectively. NOTE 3 Circuit-breakers complying with the requirements of this standard may be used in I
