ABSTRACT:
A self-contained current limiter unit allows lower short-circuit-rated circuit breakers to be utilized within industrial applications. The unit is electrically-connected in series with the circuit breakers and the protected load to limit the short circuit current to a fixed predetermined value while the circuit breaker trip unit responds to interrupt the circuit current. A single unit can be arranged in electrical series connection with a plurality of lower short-circuit-rated circuit breakers to allow a substantial savings in component and equipment costs.
