I have an 800 amp circuit breaker protecting some 500 kcmil conductors.
The equipment supplier advises the breaker is adjustabel to an "Ir x .5 which would provide 400 amp protection. The install seems to meet the provisions of 240.6(C), IF the "Ir" is (long time pick up setting)
I am not familiar with the terminology on breaker trip settings,
Does "Ir x .5" effectively give us 400 amp protection ?
