## 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).
