4 Description
These circuit breakers are operated by a “push-pull” type single push button (actuator) and with
delayed action “trip-free” tripping. Their function is ensured up to the short-circuit current.

5.1 Materials
5.1.1 Metallic materials
All metallic parts shall be resistant to corrosion or finished against corrosion. When dissimilar materials
are in close contact, an adequate protection against corrosion shall be used so that the electromotive
force of the galvanic couple does not exceed 0,25 V.
When bimetals are used, an eventual corrosion shall not affect the good operation of the circuit breaker.
