Circuit Breaker Trip Curve

t_trip ∝ 1/(I/I_rated)² (inverse-time)
Circuit Breaker Trip Curve

A thermal-magnetic breaker tolerates a small overload for a while but trips almost instantly on a big one — the inverse-time protection curve.

Computed & rendered in pure C# on the frozen OnlyCSharp 1.8 library — animation baked to GIF with the library's own Gif encoder (no GPU, no ffmpeg, no external packages).
