Anyone have any experience with / comments about Low Profile ATC Fuse Breakers?
Like these:

Hi Mike.
Took a look at these just to see what you guys were talking about. It seems like the specs show a surprisingly imprecise behavior for overamp tripping, for example, a 300% overload will trip in between one and ten seconds. Is this common? Or is this indicative of not great quality construction?
Not meant to be a critique, these are nice looking switches, just curious.

I've only had 1 trip in all the time I've had them. The EIFS switch tripped because of a short. So it did it's job. With all electrical systems being witchcraft and voodoo to me, that's all I know :-)
