Dear All,
is there anyone knows, that in this attached catalog,
The "maximum amperes" refer to Frame rating or Trip rating?

Thank you very much

Looks like frame rating to me.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
 
It's both. However the frame size (physical dimensions, AIC rating etc) is fixed for a given model/frame type. You can get the rating plugs or adjustable trip units equal or below the maximum ampere rating.

So you can get maximum of 250AF/250AT in a KH model, or you can also get a 250AF/150AT. Both units will physically be the same, except for the trip rating.

A side note: Usually the lowest trip rating you can get is 0.5X the frame rating. There are some expceptions.
