Step 3: Select an overload curve<br />

The nominal current setting of the curve is set for the motor FLC. In this case, set overload protection so<br />

that I n = 120 A<br />

The overload curve (hot curve) needs to lie outside the motor start curve and intersect with the fuse curve at a point<br />

before the maximum breaking current I c of the contactor.<br />
