Additional Details
The R29-23250-1 circuit breaker's trip time curve depends on the magnitude of the overcurrent. It is typically designed to trip quickly under severe fault conditions and more slowly under minor overloads. The specific interrupting capacity, voltage rating, and current rating for this model are critical parameters and must be verified in the Airpax datasheet. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with applicable electrical codes and standards.
