Selection Guide — To select a miniature
circuit breaker, use the following
procedure:
• Determine the inrush correction factor
from Table 1.
• Determine the temperature correction
factor from Table 2.
• Determine the sealed current of the
load being protected.
• Multiply the sealed current by the two
correction factors and select the
closest higher ampere rating.
Example — What size miniature circuit
breaker should be selected for a solenoid
with sealed current of 0.5 A, an inrush ratio
of 1:8, and an ambient temperature of
+110°F (43.7°C)?
0.5 x 1.7 x 1.15 = 0.9775
Select the 1.0 A miniature circuit breaker.

Tripping time of the miniature circuit breaker is determined from Table 3 below. Divide the miniature circuit breaker value by the
temperature correction factor from Table 2 above to determine the actual rated current referenced in Table 3.

In North America, the Cat. No. 1492-GH miniature circuit breaker is rated as a Supplementary Protector with a short-circuit current
rating. Internationally, it is rated by IEC as a Circuit Breaker for Equipment with an interrupt rating.

➊ The short-circuit current rating is followed by a letter and number designating the test conditions and any calibrations and dielectric tests following
the short-circuit test. These designations are defined as follows (see ➋ also):
C — Indicates that the short-circuit test was conducted with series overcurrent protection
U — Indicates that the short-circuit test was conducted without series overcurrent protection
1 — Indicates that a recalibration and dielectric test was not conducted as part of the short-circuit test
2 — Indicates that a recalibration and dielectric test was conducted as part of the short-circuit test
➋ These alphanumeric designations were established by UL. CSA has not yet adopted them; however, the test conditions are equivalent to UL
and the coding is appropriate.
