D and B identify the installed breaker construction, not selectable tripping curves. This page covers RDXQ5 63A-frame equipment; RDQH5 larger-frame equipment is a separate series. The detailed frequency table is 50Hz; confirm any 60Hz requirement. Specify the actual grid/generator arrangement, return behavior, controller and delays before ordering.
Typical applications
- Normal and standby source transfer in AC400V distribution installations.
- Grid-grid or confirmed grid-generator backup systems requiring the correct pole count and transfer sequence.
