ZA. Classification of circuit-breakers into energy

ZB. Guide for the selection of circuit breakers with
reference to their rated voltage
Applies to a.c. air-break circuit-breakers for operation at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, having a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V, a rated current not exceeding 125 A and rated short-circuit capacity not exceeding 25 000 A. These circuit-breakers are intended for the protection against overcurrents of wiring installations of buildings and similar applications. They are designed for use by uninstructed people and for not being maintained. Also applies to circuit-breakers having more than one rated current, provided that the means for changing from one discrete rating to another is not accessible in normal service and that the rating cannot be changed without the use of a tool.
