The continuous parameter is used in system design with some system components that will operate for more than 3 hours continuously. Electrical components - like wires and overcurrent protection devices generate heat during operation which can cause them to function below their rating if this happens for an extended period of time. It is therefore standard practice to oversize these components to ensure that they function properly.
- Continous duty safety parameter = 1.25 (125%)
