Reply to "Airpax Snapac "Instant" Hydraulic-Magnetic Circuit Breaker"

For your notes, on the flip side, we found the reset to be very clean, zero lag, leap years ahead of any thermal breaker,...( normally used in our world) it’s the release we had issues with.....holding voltage on sensitive, and expensive fuel pumps in the performance world.......we were looking for alternatives to ATO’s and fast blows that don’t always react at their “advertised load rating” ........we’ve settled on Eaton breakers and found them a lot faster on the release side, .......I believe another fella mentioned them above as well,....

Pat, unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning, I think we might be talking apples, oranges, and bananas here on the time delay.  The other mention above was for a slow trip time Airpax with the number 2 in the second part of the model number ( PP11 - 2 - **** ).

There's also the "fast" delay option ( PP11 - 1 - **** ) with a trip curve that sounds like what you could be describing.

If you look closely at the picture in the original post, its a PP11 - 0 - 10.0 - OB -  V which is the instant fruit (I mean delay) . The  - 0 = "instant" PN designation Airpax breaker is supposed to disconnect the load in less than 0.001 second ( 1 millisecond ) if current flow to the load rises above its rating.

Do you think the ones you were using might have been the ( PP11 - 1 - **** ) "fast" that has a curve like this?
