Footnotes:
Maximum design voltage for which the circuit
1.
breaker is designed and the upper limit for
operation.
K is the ratio of the rated maximum design
2.
voltage to the lower limit of the range of
operating voltage in which the required
symmetrical and asymmetrical interrupting
capabilities vary in inverse proportion to the
operating voltage.
To obtain the required symmetrical interrupting
3.
capability of a circuit breaker at an operating
voltage between 1/K times rated maximum
design voltage and rated maximum design
voltage, the following formula shall be used:
Required symmetrical interrupting capability =
rated short-circuit current (I) x [(rated maximum
design voltage)/(operating voltage)]. For
operating voltages below 1/K times maximum
design voltage, the required symmetrical
interrupting capability of the circuit breaker shall
be equal to K times rated short-circuit current.

Within the limitations stated in
4.
ANSI/IEEE C37.04-1979, all values apply to
polyphase and line-to-line faults. For single
phase-to-ground faults, the specific conditions
stated in clause 5.10.2.3 of
ANSI/IEEE C37.04-1979 apply.
Current values in this row are not to be exceeded
5.
even for operating voltage below 1/K times rated
maximum design voltage. For operating voltages
between rated maximum design voltage and 1/K
times rated maximum design voltage, follow
Footnote 5.
Current values in this row are independent of
6.
operating voltage up to and including rated
maximum voltage.
"Nominal three-phase MVA class" is included for
7.
reference only. This information is not listed in
ANSI C37.06-1987.
Standard duty cycle is O - 15 s - CO.
8.
Standard rating interrupting time is five-cycles
9.
(83 ms). Optional rated interrupting time of
three-cycles (50 ms) is available (except with
24 Vdc tripping).
