Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Icu and Ics?
Icu (ultimate breaking capacity) is the maximum short‑circuit current a breaker can interrupt under test conditions, while Ics (service breaking capacity) is the current it can interrupt and then continue to carry during normal operation.
What are the pollution classes for low‑voltage switchgear?
There are four pollution classes: Class 1 – no or dry non‑conductive pollution; Class 2 – non‑conductive pollution with occasional conductive condensation; Class 3 – conductive pollution or condensation‑induced conductivity; Class 4 – persistent conductive pollution such as dust or rain.
