Appendix F. Circuit Breaker Repetitive Duty Data
General
Circuit breakers are designed primarily to perform the
function of circuit interruption under short-circuit conditions.
Nevertheless modern circuit breaker mechanisms are capable
of many operations under full-load operation and in-rush
conditions such as encountered in motor starting
applications. Industry standards have been established for
the minimum performance that is indicated in Table F-1.
With adequate maintenance, GE breakers can be expected to
exceed the standards.

Notes
Power operated circuit breakers, when operating under usual
service conditions, shall be capable of operating the number
of times specified in Table F-1. The operating conditions and
the permissible effect of such operations upon the breaker are
given in the following lettered paragraphs. For each column,
all paragraphs listed in the column heading must be given
consideration.
