Interrupt Capacity: 1,000 amps in accordance with UL standard 1077. Resettable Overload Capacity: Ten times rated current. Switch Endurance Cycling: Typically 6,000 operations at 100% of rating. Reset Time: 60 seconds. - Available with optional indicator lamp. - Snaps into the same cutout as many common power switches. - Various color, marking and termination options. ## Agency Approvals W51 series is UL 1077 Recognized as Supplementary Protectors, File E69543, for Canada and the United States. Approved to VDE 0642/EN60934 (Circuit Breakers for Equipment) License Number 40017023 (for AC loads only). CCC mark compliant, certificate 2004010307123223. Users should thoroughly review the technical data before selecting a product part number. It is recommended that users also seek out the pertinent approvals files of the agencies/laboratories and review them to ensure the product meets the requirements for a given application. ## Electrical Data @ 25°C Calibration: Will continuously carry 100% of rating. May trip between 101% and 134%, but must trip at 135%* of rating within one hour at +25°C. * 150% for 5-8A models Dielectric Strength: 1,500VAC (60 seconds). Insulation Resistance: 100 megohms. Maximum Operating Voltages: 50VDC; 125 or 250VAC, 50/60 Hz. (model dependent). ## Time vs. Current Trip Curve @ +25°C ## Typical Resistance vs. Current Rating @ +25°C |Current
