Best Answer

It is the relationship between current and time on a circuit breakers opening. When the circuit breaker needs to open in given "windows" of amps and time. They should intersect on the curve to indicate proper circuit breaker functioning. The timing and current value should coincide with each other, per manufacturers specifications. Each breaker differs.

What is the difference between c curve and D curve MCB?

The B,C,D,K,Z indicates the instantaenous tripping current. It means the minimum value of current causes the circuit to trip without intentional time delay. approximately < 100ms. Consider Rated Current be : (In) Instantaenous tripping current for C Curve is 5-10 times the rated current(In). Instantaenous tripping current for D Curve is 10-20 times the rated current(In).

What is the definition of population growth curve?

A population growth curve shows the change in the size of a population over time. It typically consists of four phases: exponential growth, plateau, decline, and equilibrium.
