Applies to three-pole units for public and industrial distribution systems which are functional assemblies of switches including switch-disconnectors and current-limiting fuses and thus able to interrupt: - any load current up to the rated breaking current of the switch; - any over-current up to the rated short-circuit breaking current of the combination by which automatic interruption is initiated.
