máxima corriente de pico circulante

Explanation:
"La máxima corriente de pico circulante será medida en el ensayo de cortocircuito del panel de interruptores..."

Esa corriente de pico es la del primer hemiciclo una vez iniciada la falla.
Si los interruptores son limitadores será la máxima corriente de pico que los mismos pueden limitar.

Hola Lisbeth!!
me olvidé de saludarte

Se entiende que es la máxima corriente posible de soportar, por diseño y normas, por el conjunto a ensayar.

Hola Lisbeth
Por favor elimina la palabra \"circulante\" pues da lugar a confusiones

Hola Lisbeth
En realidad el término \"let-through\" se refiere al pico de corriente máximo que el fusible o interruptor limitador \"dejará pasar\". Un fusible o interruptor limitador es aquél que no permite que el pico de corriente de falla sobrepase de un cierto valor, de ahí su nombre limitador. Pero para tu gabinete con máxima corriente de pico es suficiente pues no sabemos que tipo de aparato montarán dentro.

12 hrs confidence:

corriente pico/maximo permitido

Explanation:
These include most fuses and circuit breakers. Most fuses are simply too slow, and allow too high a let-through current, to have any chance

of preventing damage. Because they are mechanical devices with moving parts, circuit breakers also break the circuit too slowly. With either

terruptores Cascade. El pico máximo permitido a través de la corriente Ip disminuye en un 80% (comparado con el 100 AF de Mitsubishi). ...
of these choices, a short circuit almost always means semiconductor failure.
Se trata de la cantidad de corriente que un fusible deja pasar antes de que abra la connection.
