2.9.3 Breaker characteristics


2.9.3 Breaker characteristics
The breaker characteristics for the SPARC M10 systems must be taken into consideration to allow the devices to be used under the right conditions. Use circuit breakers that meet the following special conditions for the distribution panel breakers on the equipment side.

Table 2-17 shows the distribution panel breaker capacity on the equipment side.
Table 2-17  Distribution panel breaker capacity on the equipment side
Device name Power supply input Distribution panel breaker capacity on equipment side
    For Japan/North America/other countries For Europe
SPARC M10-4S Single-phase 200 to 240 VAC 20 A 16 A
Expansion rack Single-phase 200 to 240 VAC 40 A 40 A
Expansion rack Three-phase (delta) 200 to 240 VAC 35 A 35 A
Expansion rack Three-phase (star) 380 to 415 VAC 24 A 24 A
PCI expansion unit Single-phase 100 to 120 VAC 10 A -
Single-phase 200 to 240 VAC 10 A 10 A
Figure 2-24 shows the cutoff characteristics of the circuit breaker.

Use a breaker with cutoff characteristics that have a Long-time delay type equivalent to cutoff characteristic D (IEC/EN60898 or DIN VDE 0641 part II) shown in Figure 2-24, or one with longer cutoff characteristics.
