Power Loss
The power loss of MCB’s is closely controlled by the standards and is calculated on the basis of the voltage drop across the main
terminals measured at rated current. The power loss of hager circuit breakers is very much lower than that required by the British Standard, so
in consequences run cooler and are less affected when mounted together.
The table below gives the watts loss per pole at rated current.

For use with DC
Because of their quick make and break design and excellent arc
quenching capabilities, Hager circuit breakers are suitable for DC
applications.
The following parameters must be considered:
1. System voltage:
Determined by the number of poles connected in series (see table 14)
2. Short circuit current:
(See table 14)
3. Tripping Characteristics:
The thermal trip remains unchanged
the magnetic trip will become less sensitive requiring derating by √2
the ac value (See table 14)
