Today in the shop I show how to perform NETA spec testing on low voltage (480V) molded-case thermal-magnetic circuit breakers. I cover the equipment you'll need, some theory, and how to read inverse-time overcurrent trip curves. After this you should be able to perform insulation resistance (megger), contact resistance (DLRO/Ductor), and primary current injection for some basic low-voltage breakes!
