L/T breaker setting for a 375 kW load bank

[Nardie]

I have a 375 kW load bank for a new diesel generator. The main load bank breaker to protect the load bank is a 600AF/AT. For a 375 kW load bank the FLA is 451A, and the proposed long time p/u setting for the breaker is 468A. This is a ratio of only 1.03%, normally I am use to 1.25% of protection for downstream equipment. So does anyone see an issue, with the 468A setting?

Resistive load bank? Continuous load?

Load banks are usually not started under full load all at once would that matter?
