J-frame mission critical circuit breakers are selective with QO or E-frame circuit breakers per Table 6
when the amperage of the main circuit breaker is at least two times the amperage of the branch circuit
breaker.
L-frame mission critical circuit breakers are selective with QO-style and E-frame circuit breakers per
Table 7 when the amperage of the main circuit breaker is at least two times greater than the amperage
of the branch circuit breaker.
