The 3 hours at 40+ Amps

what makes you think it's 40 amps + ?


I thought that's where we started weeks ago, that you expected to be
able to trip a 32A breaker with the heaters, and I gave you the 2.7
hours figure?


what makes yuo think it;s 40 amps will you answer this or not.


Its not relevant anyway since you have seized on the wrong bit. The
takeaway message was in the second bit of Andy's sentance: "...is the
'slow' part of the MCB curve, in the event of a short circuit you want
sufficient current to ensure it trips within the 'fast' part of the curve"
