Chapter 2. Description
Refer to the breaker nameplate for complete rat-
ing information of any particular breaker. The
nameplate also describes the control power re-
quirements for that breaker. The application of
a breaker must be such that its voltage, current
and interrupting ratings are never exceeded.
Since this book is written to include all ratings
of the breaker, as well as several design varia-
tions, the instructions will be of a general char-
acter and all illustrations will be typical unless
otherwise specified.
