惯性延时装置是空气开关上的一个特殊附属装置(特殊的型号才有)。
拥有该装置的空气开关在操作特性上则有特点,当突然操作该开关时,如果电流的尖峰值很高,但是脉冲宽度不够的情况下,该开关不通。具体曲线参考以下图片:
在此为专业技术人员附上英文说明:This inertia delay device is designed to prevent the circuit protector from operating erroneously due to such inrush current and to carry out an interruption within the prescribed operating characteristics in the face of an overcurrent.
