This document provides a time-current characteristic curve for a 3RW44 circuit breaker with a three pole load. The curve shows tripping times in seconds on the y-axis across multiples of the circuit breaker's rated current (Ie) on the x-axis. It notes that with overcurrents over 3 times Ie, the tolerance for tripping times is ±20% according to standard EN 60079-14.
