The OCPD Can Be replaced with An Element that can be sized up to the frame rating of iccbs and up to 80% of the frame rating of McCBS. SEE FIGURE 2.

Small-Frame McCBS Typically Use Thermal-Magnetic OCPDS.
A Thermal-Magnetic OCPD is an OCPD that Reacts to the Heat Created by the Copper Loss (I2R) when Current Passes Through a ConDuctor.
