Good Day Everyone.
What is the maximum current that a circuit breaker could carry? What I understood from my readings is that every CB has its own percentage of the labelled rating. i.e. if the breaker rating is 32Amps, the maximum load to be attached to it must not exceed 25.6Amps if percentage is 80%, 32Amps if the percentage is 100% and 38.4Amps if the percentage is 120%.
I am not an Electrical Engineer so please clarify if what I got is correct, what the official term for that percentage and how to find it?
The attached picture is one of my important breakers that I want to find that for.
