The short-time delay allows it to ride through brief inrush or transient leakage without nuisance tripping — useful on circuits feeding electronics or motor starters that see a short surge on energization.
Thermal derating profile
The unit holds a full 37.2 A up to 45 °C, then derates linearly: 36 A at 50 °C, 34.8 A at 55 °C, 34 A at 60 °C, 33.2 A at 65 °C, and 32 A at 70 °C.
