Standard miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) can be used for branch protection. Ensure that the MCB is rated for DC
voltage, too. The following tests show which circuit breakers the power supply typically trips.
voltage, too. The following tests show which circuit breakers the power supply typically trips.
Circuit breakers have large tolerances in their tripping behavior. Therefore, these typical tests can only be used as a
recommendation or for comparing two different power supplies. Furthermore, the loop impedance has a major
influence on whether a breaker trips or not. Two tests were performed, representing typical situations:

25m.
Which wire gauge must be used to trip a C-Characteristic circuit breaker with a rating of 1A? The load wire length is
25m.
Answer: A 1A C-Characteristic circuit breaker requires a loop impedance of less than 390mOhm (test results). The wire
length table shows that up to 32.6m wire with a cross section of 1.5mm
