Short Circuit Current Rating - SCCR
Assembly short-circuit current rating, SCCR
Definition: SCCR on components and assemblies represent the maximum level of short-circuit current that a component or assembly can withstand. This rating is used to determine compliance with NEC 110.10. “SCCR” labeling is required on all panels and assemblies.
All Control Concepts' FUSION digital power controllers have been tested up to 100 kA with internal protection of the current limit and over current trip defeated. This rating only pertains when the volume of the enclosure is 150% of the controller volume, the enclosure has two latches on the cover and the controller is protected with Class T or High Speed J fast acting fuses.
All Compact FUSION digital power controllers have a 100 kA rating. This rating only pertains when the volume of the enclose is 150 percent of the controller volume and the enclosure has two latches on the cover.
