The requirements of electrical power distribution
The design of LV installations leads to basic protection devices being fitted for three types of faults: c overloads c short-circuits c insulation faults.
Safety and availability of energy are the operator s prime requirements. Coordination of protection devices ensures these needs are met at optimised cost.
Safety and availability of energy

Operation of these protection devices must allow for: c the statutory aspects, particularly relating to safety of people, c technical and economic requirements. The chosen switchgear must: c withstand and eliminate faults at optimised cost with respect to the necessary performance, c limit the effect of a fault to the smallest part possible of the installation in order to ensure continuity of supply. Achievement of these objectives requires coordination of protection device performance, necessary for: c managing safety and increasing durability of the installation by limiting stresses, c managing availability by eliminating the fault by means of the circuit-breaker immediately upstream The circuit-breaker coordination means are: c cascading c discrimination. If the insulation fault is specifically dealt with by earth fault protection devices, discrimination of the residual current devices (RCDs) must also be guaranteed.

The various levels of an LV electrical installation

Each of the three levels of the installation has specific availability and safety needs.
Functions and technologies of the protection devices

Protection devices and their coordination must be suited to the specific features of the installation. c At the main switchboard, the need for energy availability is greatest, c At the sub-distribution switchboards, limitation of stresses in event of a fault is important, c At final distribution, user safety is essential.
Circuit-breaker functions
This connection device is able to close and break a circuit regardless of current up to its breaking capacity. The functions to be performed are: c close the circuit, c conduct current, c open the circuit and break the current, c guarantee isolation. The requirements concerning installation, cost optimisation, management of availability and safety generate technological choices concerning the circuit-breaker.
Level A: the Main Switchboard (MSB)

This unit is the key to the entire electrical power distribution: availability of supply is essential in this part of the installation. c Short-circuit currents are high due to: v the proximity of the LV sources, v amply sized busbars for conveying high currents. c This is the area of the power circuit-breakers
i
1/3 A i 2/3
i Own current compensation diagram
These circuit-breakers are designed for high current electrical distribution: v they are normally installed in the MSBs to protect high current incomers and feeders; v they must remain closed in event of short-circuits so as to let the downstream circuit-breaker eliminate the faults. Their operation is normally time-delayed. ElectroDynamic Withstand (EDW) and high thermal withstand characterised by a short time withstand current lcw are essential. EDW is designed to be as great as possible by an own current compensation effect.
c Main data of these circuit-breakers: v of industrial type, meeting standard BSEN 60947-2, v with a high breaking capacity lcu from 40 to 150 kA, v with a nominal rating of 1000 to more than 5000 A, v category B: - with a high lcw from 40 kA to 100 kA 1 s - with a high electrodynamic withstand (EDW), v with a stored energy operating mechanism allowing source coupling. Continuity of supply is ensured by total discrimination: v upstream with the protection fuses of the HV/LV transformer (*), v downstream with all the feeders (time discrimination).
(*) The value of HV/LV discrimination lies above all in the fact that resumption of operation has fewer constraints in LV (accessibility, padlocking). This offers considerable advantages for continuity of supply.
Level B: the subdistribution boards

These boards belong to the intermediate part of the installation: c distribution is via conductors (BBT or cables) with optimised sizing, c sources are still relatively close: short-circuit currents can reach 100 kA, c the need for continuity of supply is still very great. Protection devices must consequently limit stresses and be perfectly coordinated with upstream and downstream LV distribution. This is the area of the moulded case circuit-breakers These circuit-breakers must open and break the current as quickly as possible. The main need is to avoid as far as possible stresses at cable and connection level and even at load level. For this purpose, repulsion at contact level must be encouraged in order to eliminate the fault even as the current is rising.
Fm
Fm
The possible diagrams are: c with a single repulsion loop, c with double repulsion c with an extractor, a magnetic core pushing or pulling the moving contact.
Example of a repulsion diagram Fm = magnetic force
The repulsion effects can be enhanced by implementation of magnetic circuits: c with effects proportional to the current square (U-shaped attracting or expulsion circuit), c with effects proportional to the current slope (di/dt) and thus particularly effective for high currents (lsc). Main data of the moulded case circuit-breakers: c of industrial type, meeting standard BSEN 60947-2, c with a high breaking capacity (36 to 150 kA), c with a nominal rating from 100 A to 1600 A, c category B for high rating circuit-breakers (> 630 A), c category A for lower rating circuit-breakers (< 630 A), c with fast closing and opening and with three operating positions (ON/OFF/ Tripped). Continuity of supply is ensured by discrimination: c partial, possibly, to supply non-priority feeders, c total for downstream distribution requiring high energy availability.
Level C: Final distribution

The protection devices are placed directly upstream of the loads: discrimination with the higher level protection devices must be provided. A weak short-circuit current (a few kA) characterises this level. c This is the area of the Miniature Circuit-breaker
i
i Fm
These circuit-breakers are designed to protect final loads. The purpose is to limit stresses on cables, connections and loads. The technologies for the miniature circuit-breakers, mainly used at this installation level, prevent such stresses from occurring. In miniature circuit-breakers, limitation partly depends on the magnetic actuator. Once the mechanism has been released, it will strike the moving contact making it move at a high speed very early on. Arc voltage thus develops very quickly at a very early stage. For small rating circuit-breakers, specific pole impedance contributes to limitation. The miniature circuit-breaker is ideal for domestic use and for the protection of auxiliaries; it then conforms to standard BSEN 60898. On the other hand, if it is designed for industrial use, it must meet standard BSEN 60947-2.
Main data of these circuit-breakers: c a breaking capacity to match needs (i.e. Below 10 kA on average), c a nominal rating of 1.5 to 125 A according to the loads to be supplied, c normally intended for domestic applications: conform to standard BSEN 60898. The protection devices installed must provide: c current limitation, c operating convenience, c absolute safety, as these devices are handled by non-specialist users.
Standard BSEN 60947-2

-Changes in dependability needs and technologies have led to a marked increase in standard requirements for industrial circuit-breakers. Conformity with standard IEC 947-2, renamed IEC 60947-2 in 1997 and BSEN60 947-2 can be considered as an all-risk insurance for use of circuit-breakers. This standard has been approved by all countries.
Standard BSEN 60947.2 specifies the main data of Industrial CircuitBreakers: c the utilisation category, c the setting data, c the design measures, c etc. It draws up a series of very complete tests representative of circuit-breaker real operating conditions. In appendix A, it recognises and defines Coordination of Protection Devices Discrimination and Cascading. Conformity of a circuit-breaker with standard BSEN 60947-2 is a must for industrial BSEN switchgear.
The principles
Standard BSEN 60947-2 is part of a series of standards defining the specifications for LV electrical switchgear: c the general rules BSEN 60947-1, that group the definitions, specifications and tests common to all LV industrial switchgear, c the product standards BSEN 60947-2 to 7, that deal with specifications and tests specific to the product concerned. Standard BSEN 60947-2 applies to circuit-breakers and their associated trip units. Circuit-breaker operating data depend on the trip units or relays that control their opening in specific conditions. This standard defines the main data of industrial circuit-breakers: c their classification: utilisation category, suitability for isolation, etc. c the electrical setting data, c the information useful for operation, c the design measures, c coordination of protection devices. The standard also draws up series of conformity tests to be undergone by the circuitbreakers. These tests, which are very complete, are very close to real operating conditions. Conformity of these tests with standard BSEN 60947-2 is verified by accredited laboratories.

Circuit-breaker category
Category BSEN 60947-2 defines two circuit-breaker categories: c category A circuit-breakers, for which no tripping delay is provided. This is normally the case of moulded case circuit-breakers. These circuit-breakers can provide current discrimination. c category B circuit-breakers, for which, in order to provide time discrimination, tripping can be delayed (up to 1 s) for all short-circuits of value less than the current lcw. This is normally the case of power or moulded case circuit-breakers with high ratings. For circuit-breakers installed in the MSBs, it is important to have an lcw equal to lcu in order to naturally provide discrimination up to full ultimate breaking capacity lcu.

c Rated operational current (ln) ln (in A rms) = maximum uninterrupted current withstand at a given ambient temperature without abnormal temperature rise. E.g. 125 A at 40 C c Adjustable overload setting current (lr) lr (in A rms) is a function of ln. lr characterises overload protection. For operation in overload, the conventional non-tripping currents lnd and tripping currents ld are: v lnd = 1.05 lr, v ld = 1.30 lr. ld is given for a conventional tripping time. For a current greater than ld, tripping by thermal effect will take place according to an inverse time curve. lr is known as Long Time Protection (LTP). c Short time tripping setting current (lsd) lsd (in kA rms) is a function of lr. lsd characterises short-circuit protection. The circuitbreaker opens according to the short time tripping curve: v either with a time delay tsd, v or with constant l2t, v or instantaneously (similar to instantaneous protection). lsd is known as Short Time Protection or lm. c Instantaneous tripping setting current (li) li (in kA) is given as a function of ln. It characterises the instantaneous short-circuit protection for all circuit-breaker categories. For high overcurrents (short-circuits) greater than the li threshold, the circuit-breaker must immediately break the fault current. This protection device can be disabled according to the technology and type of circuit-breaker (particularly B category circuit-breakers).

c Rated short-circuit making capacity(*) (lcm) lcm (peak kA) is the maximum value of the asymmetrical short-circuit current that the circuit-breaker can make and break. For a circuit-breaker, the stress to be managed is greatest on closing on a short-circuit. c Rated ultimate breaking capacity(*) (lcu) lcu (kA rms) is the maximum short-circuit current value that the circuit-breaker can break. It is verified according to a sequence of standardised tests. After this sequence, the circuit-breaker must not be dangerous. This characteristic is defined for a specific voltage rating Ue. c Rated service breaking capacity(*) (lcs) lcs (kA rms) is given by the manufacturer and is expressed as a % of lcu. This performance is very important as it gives the ability of a circuit-breaker to provide totally normal operation once it has broken this short-circuit current three times. The higher lcs, the more effective the circuit-breaker. c Rated short time withstand current(*) (lcw) Defined for B category circuit-breakers lcw (kA rms) is the maximum short-circuit current that the circuit-breaker can withstand for a short period of time (0.05 to 1 s) without its properties being affected. This performance is verified during the standardised test sequence.
(*) These data are defined for a specific voltage rating Ue.

Circuit-breaker coordination
The term coordination concerns the behaviour of two devices placed in series in electrical power distribution in the presence of a short-circuit. c Cascading or back-up protection This consists of installing an upstream circuit-breaker D1 to help a downstream circuit-breaker D2 to break short-circuit currents greater than its ultimate breaking capacity lcuD2. This value is marked lcuD2+D1. BSEN 60947-2 recognises cascading between two circuit-breakers. For critical points, where tripping curves overlap, cascading must be verified by tests. c Discrimination This consists of providing coordination between the operating characteristics of circuit-breakers placed in series so that should a downstream fault occur, only the circuit-breaker placed immediately upstream of the fault will trip. BSEN 60947-2 defines a current value ls known as the discrimination limit such that: v if the fault current is less than this value ls, only the downstream circuit-breaker D2 trips, v if the fault current is greater than this value ls, both circuit-breakers D1 and D2 trip. Just as for cascading, discrimination must be verified by tests for critical points. Discrimination and cascading can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer who will record his tests in tables.

Limitation
Limitation is a technique that allows the circuit-breaker to considerably reduce short-circuit currents. The advantages of limitation are numerous: c attenuation of the harmful effects of short-circuits: - electromagnetic - thermal - mechanical c base of the cascading technique.
Principles
The assumed fault current lsc is the short-circuit current lsc that would flow, if there were no limitation, at the point of the installation where the circuit-breaker is placed. Since the fault current is eliminated in less than one half-period, only the first peak current (asymmetrical peak l) need be considered. This is a function of the installation fault cos .
Id
asymmetrical Isc IL t UA Em
ts t1 t2
Reduction of this peak l to limited lL characterises circuit-breaker limitation. Limitation consists of creating a back-electromotive force opposing the growth of the short-circuit current. The three decisive criteria guaranteeing the effectiveness of this limitation are: c intervention time, i.e. the time ts when the back-electromotive force (bemf) appears, c the rate at which bemf increases, c the value of bemf. The back-electromotive force is the arc voltage Ua due to the resistance of the arc developing between the contacts on separation. Its speed of development depends on the contact separation speed. * As shown in the figure above, as from the time ts when the contacts separate, the back less than the assumed fault current flow through when a short-circuit occurs.
15
The implementation techniques
Circuit breaker limitation capacity

The circuit breaker limitation capacity defines the way it reduces the let through current under short-circuit conditions. The thermal stress of the limited current is the area (shaded) defined by the curve of the square of the limited current l2sc (t). If there is no limitation, this stress would be the area, far larger, that would be defined by the curve of the square of the assumed current. For an assumed short-circuit current lsc, limitation of this current to 10% results in less than 1% of assumed thermal stress. The cable temperature rise is directly proportional to the thermal stress (1).

c Application to electrical power distribution Limitation considerably reduces the harmful effects of short-circuits on the installation. harmful effects limitation effects of short-circuits c electromagnetic Reduction of magnetic field, thus v less risk of disturbing neighbouring measurement instruments. c mechanical Peak current limited, thus: v reduced electromagnetic forces, v less risk of deformation or breakage at electrical contact level. Limited thermal stress (reduction of amplitude and duration of current flow), thus: v temperature rise of conductors less marked, v increased lifetime of busbar trunking.
c thermal
Consequently, limitation contributes to the durability of electrical installations.
16
c Applications to motors Functions The following functions must be performed on a motor feeder: v isolation v control v overload protection (specific) v short-circuit protection v additional protection A motor feeder can be made up of 1, 2, 3 or 4 different items of switchgear. Should a number of devices be associated most common case the various functions performed by the switchgear must be coordinated. Coordination of motor feeder components Thanks to limitation, the harmful effects of short-circuits on a motor feeder are greatly reduced. Proper limitation of circuit-breakers ensures easy access to a type 2 coordination as per BSEN 60947-4-1, without oversizing of components. This type of coordination guarantees users optimum use of their motor feeders.

Motor feeder
type 1 BSEN 60947-4-1 No risk for the operator. Elements other than contactors and the relay must not be damaged. Isolation must be maintained after an incident. Before restarting, the motor feeder must be repaired.
type 2 BSEN 60947-4-1 No damage or malfunctioning is allowed. Isolation must be maintained after an incident and the motor feeder must be able to operate after a short-circuit. The risk of contactor contact welding is accepted if contacts can be easily separated. Before restarting, a quick inspection is sufficient. Reduced maintenance and rapid resumption of operation.
17
Limitation curves
A circuit-breaker s limiting capacity is expressed by limitation curves that give: c the limited peak current as a function of the rms current of the assumed shortcircuit current. For example: on a 160 A feeder where the assumed lsc is 90 kA rms, the non-limited peak lsc is 200 kA (asymmetry factor of 2.2) and the limited lsc is 26 kA peak. c the limited thermal stress (in A2s) as a function of the rms current of the assumed short-circuit current. For example: on the previous feeder, the thermal stress moves from more than 100 106 A2s to 6 106 A2s.

Cascading
Cascading is used to: c make savings, c simplify choice of protection devices, by using circuit-breakers with standard performance.
Cascading provides circuit-breakers placed downstream of a limiting circuit-breaker with an enhanced breaking capacity. The limiting circuit-breaker helps the circuitbreaker placed downstream by limiting high short-circuit currents. Cascading makes it possible to use a circuit-breaker with a breaking capacity lower than the shortcircuit current calculated at its installation point.
Area of application
Cascading: c concerns all devices installed downstream of this circuit-breaker, c can be extended to several consecutive devices, even if they are used in different switchboards. The installation standards (BS 7671 or IEC 364) stipulate that the upstream device must have an ultimate breaking capacity lcu greater than or equal to the assumed short-circuit current at the installation point. For downstream circuit-breakers, the ultimate breaking capacity lcu to be considered is the ultimate breaking capacity enhanced by coordination.
Principles
As soon as the two circuit-breakers trip (as from point lB), an arc voltage UAD1 on separation of the contacts of D1 is added to voltage UAD2 and helps, by additional limitation, circuit-breaker D2 to open.

Advantages
Cascading allows benefit to be derived from all the advantages of limitation. Thus, the effects of short-circuit currents are reduced, i.e.: c electromagnetic effects, c electrodynamic effects, c thermal effects. Installation of a single limiting circuit-breaker results in considerable simplifications and savings for the entire downstream installation: c simplification of choice of devices by the cascading tables, c savings on downstream devices. Limitation enables circuit-breakers with standard performance to be used.

Discrimination
Discrimination of protection devices is a key factor in continuity of supply. Discrimination is: c partial, c or total, according to the characteristics of the association of protection devices. The discrimination techniques implemented are: c current c time c logic. Discrimination can be optimised by use of current limiting downstream circuit-breakers.
General information
Principle
Reminder (see paragraph 1.4. "standard BSEN 60947-2"). Discrimination consists of providing coordination between the operating characteristics of circuit-breakers placed in series such that should a downstream fault occur, only the circuit-breaker placed immediately upstream of the fault will trip. A discrimination current ls is defined such that: lfault > ls: both circuit-breakers trip, lfault < ls: only D2 eliminates the fault.

c Discrimination quality The value ls must be compared with assumed lsc(D2) at point D2 of the installation. v total discrimination: ls > lsc(D2); discrimination is qualified as total, i.e. whatever the value of the fault current, D2 only will eliminate it. v partial discrimination: ls < lsc(D2); discrimination is qualified as partial, i.e. up to ls, only D2 eliminates the fault. Beyond ls, both D1 and D2 open. c Manufacturer s data In actual fact, manufacturers give discrimination quality intrinsically, i.e.: v total discrimination, if ls is equal to lcuD1 (the association will never be able to see a fault current greater than this value), v partial discrimination, limited to ls. This value ls can nevertheless be greater than lsc(D2). Seen by the user, discrimination is then total. c Glossary v lsc(D1): Short-circuit current at the point where D1 is installed, v lcuD1: Ultimate breaking capacity of D1.

The discrimination limit ls is: - ls = lsd2 if the thresholds lsd1 and lsd2 are too close or merge, - ls = lsd1 if the thresholds lsd1 and lsd2 are sufficiently far apart. As a rule, current discrimination is achieved when: - lr1 / lr2 < 2 - lsd1 / lsd2 > 2 The discrimination limit is - ls = lsd1. Discrimination quality Discrimination is total if ls > lsc(D2), i.e. lsd1 > lsc(D2). This normally implies: v a relatively low level lsc(D2), v a large difference between the ratings of circuit-breakers D1 and D2. Current discrimination is normally used in final distribution. c Time discrimination This is the extension of current discrimination and is obtained by staging over time of the tripping curves. This technique consists of giving a time delay of t to the Short Time (ST) tripping of D1.

The thresholds (lr1, lsd1) of D1 and (lr2, lsd2) comply with the staging rules of current discrimination. The discrimination limit ls of the association is at least equal to li1, the instantaneous threshold of D1.
22
Discrimination quality There are two possible applications: c on final and/or intermediate feeders. A category circuit-breakers can be used with time-delayed tripping of the upstream circuit-breaker. This allows extension of current discrimination up to the instantaneous threshold li1 of the upstream circuit-breaker: ls > li1. If lsc(D2) is not too high case of a final feeder - total discrimination can be obtained. c on the incomers and feeders of the MSB At this level, as continuity of supply takes priority, the installation characteristics allow use of B category circuit-breakers designed for time-delayed tripping. These circuit-breakers have a high thermal withstand (lcw > 50% lcn for t = 1s): ls > lcw1. Even for high lsc(D2), time discrimination normally provides total discrimination: lcw1 > lsc(D2). NB: Use of B category circuit-breakers means that the installation must withstand high electrodynamic and thermal stresses. Consequently, these circuit-breakers have a high instantaneous threshold li that can be adjusted and disabled in order to protect the busbars if necessary.
c enhancement of current and time discrimination v limiting downstream circuit-breakers Use of a limiting downstream circuit-breaker enables the discrimination limit to be increased.

Isc (D2)
In fact, when referring to the figure, a fault current ld will be seen by D1: v equal to ld for a non-limiting circuit-breaker, v equal to lLd < ld for a limiting circuit-breaker. The limit of current and time discrimination ls of the association D1 + D2 is thus pushed back to a value that increases when the downstream circuit-breaker is rapid and limiting. Discrimination quality Use of a limiting circuit-breaker is extremely effective for achievement of total discrimination when threshold settings (current discrimination) and/or the instantaneous tripping threshold (time discrimination) of the upstream circuitbreaker D1 are too low with respect to the fault current ld in D2 lsc(D2).

Logic discrimination
This type of discrimination can be achieved with circuit-breakers equipped with specially designed electronic trip units (Compact, Masterpact): only the Short Time Protection (STP) and Ground Fault Protection (GFP) functions of the controlled devices are managed by Logic Discrimination. In particular, the Instantaneous Protection function inherent protection function is not concerned. Settings of controlled circuit-breakers c time delay: there are no rules, but staging (if any)of the time delays of time discrimination must be applied (tD1 > tD2 > tD3) c thresholds: there are no threshold rules to be applied, but natural staging of the protection device ratings must be complied with (lcrD1 > lcrD2 > lcrD3). NB: This technique ensures discrimination even with circuit-breakers of similar ratings. Principles Activation of the Logic Discrimination function is via transmission of information on the pilot wire: c ZSI input: v low level (no downstream faults): the Protection function is on standby with a reduced time delay (< 0.1 s). v high level (presence of downstream faults): the relevant Protection function moves to the time delay status set on the device. c ZSI output: v low level: the trip unit detects no faults and sends no orders. v high level: the trip unit detects a fault and sends an order. Operation A pilot wire connects in cascading form the protection devices of an installation (see figure showing logic discrimination). When a fault occurs, each circuit-breaker upstream of the fault (detecting a fault) sends an order (high level output) and moves the upstream circuit-breaker to its natural time delay (high level input). The circuitbreaker placed just above the fault does not receive any orders (low level input) and thus trips almost instantaneously. Discrimination quality Recommended and extensively used in the USA, this technique enables: v easy achievement as standard of discrimination on 3 levels or more, v elimination of important stresses on the installation, relating to time-delayed tripping of the protection device, in event of a fault directly on the upstream busbars. All the protection devices are thus virtually instantaneous. v easy achievement of downstream discrimination with non-controlled circuitbreakers.
24
The discrimination rules
General discrimination rules

Overload protection For any overcurrent value, discrimination is guaranteed on overload if the nontripping time of the upstream circuit-breaker D1 is greater than the maximum breaking time of circuit-breaker D2. The condition is fulfilled if the ratio of Long Time (LT) and Short Time (ST) settings is greater than 2. The discrimination limit ls is at least equal to the setting threshold of the upstream Short Time (ST) time delay. Short-circuit protection c time discrimination Tripping of the upstream device D1 is time delayed by t. v The conditions required for current discrimination must be fulfilled. v The time delay t of the upstream device D1 must be sufficient for the downstream device to be able to eliminate the fault. Time discrimination increases the discrimination limit ls up to the instantaneous tripping threshold of the upstream circuit-breaker D1. Discrimination is always total if circuit-breaker D1: v is of category B, v has an lcw characteristic equal to its lcu. Discrimination is total in the other cases if the instantaneous tripping threshold of the upstream circuit-breaker D1 is greater than the assumed lsc in D2. c logic discrimination Discrimination is always total. c general case There are no general discrimination rules. v The time/current curves clearly supply a value of lsc (limited or assumed) less than the Short Time tripping of the upstream circuit-breaker; discrimination is then total.

If this is not the case, only tests can indicate discrimination limits of coordination, in particular when circuit-breakers are of the limiting type. The discrimination limit ls is determined by comparison of curves: v in tripping energy for the downstream circuitbreaker, v in non-tripping energy for the upstream circuitbreaker. The potential intersection point of the curves gives the discrimination limit ls. The manufacturers indicate in tables the tested performance of coordination.

The techniques implemented
Earth leakage protection discrimination

According to the Earthing System, discrimination only uses coordination of overcurrent protection devices. When the insulation fault is treated specifically by earth leakage protection devices (e.g. in the TT system), discrimination of the residual current devices (RCDs) with one another must also be guaranteed. Discrimination of earth leakage protection devices must ensure that, should an insulation fault occur, only the feeder concerned by the fault is de-energised. The aim is to optimise energy availability. There are two types of earth leakage protection discrimination.
Vertical discrimination
In view of requirements and operating standards, discrimination must simultaneously meet both the time and current conditions.
Da DR
Db DR
Vertical discrimination
Current condition: The RCD must trip between ln and ln/2, where ln is the declared operating current. There must therefore exist a minimum ratio of 2 between the sensitivities of the upstream device and the downstream device. In practice, the standardised values indicate a ratio of 3. Time condition: The minimum non-tripping time of the upstream device must be greater than the maximum tripping time of the downstream device for all current values. NB: The tripping time of RCDs must always be less than or equal to the time specified in the installation standards to guarantee protection of people against indirect contacts.

Coordination of protection devices and installation standards

Discrimination and cascading can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer who will record his tests in tables.
Installation standard IEC 364 governs electrical installations of buildings. BS7671 the British National standard, based on this IEC standard, recommend good coordination between the protection switchgear. They acknowledge the principles of cascading and discrimination of circuit-breakers based on product standard BSEN 60947-2. c Product standards BSEN 60947-2 In appendix A, standard BSEN 60947-2 recognises and defines coordination between circuit-breakers (see paragraph 1.4 page 11). In particular, it defines the tests to be performed. v discrimination This is normally studied on a theoretical level. For critical points where tripping curves overlap, it must be verified by tests. It is guaranteed by the manufacturer who will record the value of ls (discrimination limit) in tables. v cascading or coordination of the back-up protection device The standard indicates the measurements to be taken to verify this coordination. - Verification by comparison of characteristics In practical cases, this type of verification is sufficient. It must be clearly proved that the lcuD2 of the association is compatible with the maximum energy l2t acceptable by D2. - Verification by tests Cascading is normally verified by tests for critical points. The tests are performed with an upstream circuit-breaker D1 with a maximum overcurrent setting and a downstream circuit-breaker D2 with a minimum setting. The test results (breaking capacities enhanced by cascading) are in a table and guaranteed by the manufacturer. c Installation standards BS 7671 national installation standards specify the implementation of these principles as per the Earthing System considered, in accordance with standard IEC 364. Discrimination Discrimination is defined and established for all Earthing Systems used and types of fault (overload, short-circuit, insulation fault). However, in event of an insulation fault in the IT system, the advantage of continuity of supply is provided by the actual system that tolerates the 1st fault. This advantage must be maintained by a search and rapid elimination of this fault. Cascading On the other hand, cascading rules are given for a TN or TT type earthing system. Basic rules in TT system: Cascading rules cannot apply for an IT system due to the double insulation fault. The following rules must be implemented: v the circuit-breaker must have a breaking capacity that is greater than or equal to the three-phase short-circuit current at the point considered, v in event of a assumed double fault, it is laid down that the double fault short-circuit current will be at most: - 15% of three-phase lsc for a three- phase lsc < 10 000 A, - 25% of three-phase lsc for a three-phase lsc > 10 000 A.

Range of circuit breakers
The Merlin Gerin and Telemecanique circuit-breaker ranges cover all the requirements of LV electrical power distribution from 0.5 to 6300 A, i.e.: c the Merlin Gerin 630 to 6300 A Masterpact and power circuit-breaker ranges, c the range of Compact moulded case circuit-breakers (MCCB): v Compact CM from 1250 to 3200 A, v Compact C from 800 to 1250 A, v Compact NS from 100 to 630 A, c the 0.5 to 125 A Multi 9 NG125, C60, DPN miniature circuit-breaker ranges, c the Telemecanique Integral/GV2/GV7 motor protection circuit-breaker ranges. These products meet product standards BSEN 60947-2. The Merlin Gerin and Telemecanique distribution and motor protection circuit-breaker ranges have been developed coherently. Their coordination has been tested as per BSEN 60947-2 and is guaranteed by Schneider Electric. The complete tables giving coordination, cascading and discrimination of circuit-breakers are available.

For power circuit-breakers
The technologies of Merlin Gerin Masterpact range ideally meets the discrimination needs at the supply end of the installation as well as specific limitation requirements relating to certain applications.
The selective pole technology

Important discrimination requires enhancement of the switchgear s electrodynamic withstand, using the own current compensation effect.
i Fr dfm 1/3 A i 2/3 Fm
Contact pressure is proportional to l2 in the loop.
i Electromagnetic compensation
This technology is used in all the Masterpact NW.
The limiting pole technology

A high limiting capacity is enabled by: c a fixed pole with current loop and magnetic U, c one axis of the moving pole positioned at its end. Masterpact and NW and H1 This performance is ideal on the most common industrial and large commercial sites (lsc < 65 kA). It guarantees total discrimination with the downstream Compact NS circuit-breakers. For this performance, breaking capacity is equal to thermal withstand lcs = lcw. This allows the switchgear to withstand the maximum short-circuit current throughout the short time delay. Masterpact NW H2
65 kA
total time discrimination NW H1 Icu = Ics = electrodynamic withstand Icw
When the short-circuit level at the device installation point is greater than its thermal withstand, its breaking capacity must be greater than its thermal withstand lcs > lcw. An internal protection is now required to prevent the switchgear being damaged. This is an instantaneous tripping device set in the factory to a threshold just below electrodynamic withstand (EDW).

Widespread use of air current transformers enables, thanks to more accurate measurement (no saturation) the thermal withstand threshold to be approached, thus markedly enhancing the discrimination level by delaying instantaneous tripping. For large industrial sites (lsc < 100 kA), this performance guarantees total discrimination with the downstream Compact NS.
32
Masterpact NW H3 Just as for the Masterpact H2, the level of performance lcs > lcw also requires calibration of instantaneous tripping. In order to break an assumed fault current of 150 kA, very early action is required. It is impossible to wait for passage of the first fault current wave as the device s thermal withstand is far lower. The technology of the electronic measurement channel associated with the mechanical action of the tripping coil does not allow a sufficiently fast reaction. The technology used in Masterpact NW circuit-breakers has been patented. When a high short-circuit current appears, it creates an electromagnetic force that pushes the pole and moves it apart. The pole movement activates a catch by means of a kinematic chain. The movement of this catch directly releases the pole shaft before intervention of the electronic measurement chain.
Half moon activating the pole shaft
Effort sensor
Kinematic chain
This tripping by mechanical system occurs at the same time as the electronic measurement chain that will confirm circuit-breaker opening and indicate the front face fault. This system allows: c a high thermal withstand to be maintained: lcw = 65 kA 1s, c beyond lcw, an ultra fast tripping guaranteeing an lcu up to 150 kA. This performance is ideal for multisource installations with a high short-circuit current (> 100 kA) on the main busbar and for which continuity of supply is essential. Discrimination with the downstream Compact NS is total as standard. Masterpact NW The Masterpact NW L1 combines all performances: c a breaking capacity up to 200 kA/400 V for the UL range, c a thermal withstand of 37 kA/400 V, c an important limiting capacity (NW L1 assumed lsc = 390 kA to 380/415 V, limited lsc = 170 kA). It therefore uses the technologies described above: c selective pole like the other switchgear in order to reach a thermal withstand of 30 kA/400 V, c automatic unlatching of the circuit breaker operating mechanism to produce ultra fast tripping.
33
To obtain a high limiting capacity, the fixed pole has been modified. This modification has been patented. Limiting capacity depends on the arc voltage created between the fixed pole and the moving pole on opening. It must be established early on and quickly increase to a high value.
Prospective I short-circuit current

For this purpose, repulsion force must be increased and arc projection encouraged in the arc chute. c Use of a U-shaped current loop to increase the repulsion force. c Use of a magnetic U around the fixed pole to concentrate field lines and project the arc in the arc chute, early on, quickly and high.

U-shaped current loop
On a high short-circuit, the poles open very slightly and the magnetic U then projects the arc in the arc chutes. The fault current is diverted. The automatic unlatching of the circuit breaker operating mechanism then quickly opens the circuit-breaker. This performance meets the limitation needs of fault currents while at the same time guaranteeing an unmatched level of discrimination of 37 kA for this circuit-breaker type. To enhance breaking performance and obtain a high short-circuit current limitation on devices theoretically not very limiting, a trip unit is used, not based on the instantaneous value of the current but on a drift whose peculiarity is not to trip on the first fault current half wave. When a short-circuit current appears, the downstream circuit-breaker opens as soon as the fault current is greater than its tripping threshold and eliminates the fault in less than one half-wave.
35
For moulded case circuit-breakers (MCCB)

The Merlin Gerin and Telemecanique moulded case circuit-breaker (MCCB) ranges are designed to provide users with maximum energy availability. The MCCB: c give an optimum response to discrimination problems, c are very limiting, even on high short-circuits, in order to drastically reduce stresses on intermediate distribution. The 100 to 630 A Compact NS range is mainly used: c to protect intermediate distribution, c to protect lines supplying large loads. This range implements an innovating technique: roto-active breaking.

Roto-active breaking: repulsion of contacts
Roto-active breaking: tripping by pressure
This high current limiting technique uses a new tripping energy, pressure, resulting from arc energy. Its operation is described below: c Each circuit-breaker pole has an enclosure in which a rotating contact generates, by electromagnetic repulsion, two serial arcs on occurrence of the short-circuit current. c A piston and spring device uses the pressure from arc energy to cause beyond a certain threshold (roughly 35 ln) a reflex tripping, roughly 3 ms after contact repulsion. c Up to this threshold, pressure is not sufficient to cause tripping and arc impedance limits the short-circuit current. c Beyond this threshold, breaking is very quick (1 ms) and limits still further the short-circuit current. The enclosure parts are sized to match circuit-breaker size. Consequently, limitation is greatest when rating is smallest. This technique provides Compact NS with an outstanding limiting capacity and thus with increased discrimination possibilities. This technique is also very useful for limiting stresses on electrical power distribution. Trip units The Compact NS are equipped with a thermal magnetic or electronic type trip unit. Setting of the Long Time (LT) thresholds ensures current discrimination. Short Time (ST) protection has as standard a mini time delay of 5 to 7 ms according to sizes allowing time discrimination for short-circuits of average value beyond the Short Time (ST) tripping threshold of the upstream circuit-breaker D1.
36
For miniature circuit-breakers
The Merlin Gerin C60H/NG125 Miniature circuit-breaker ranges have the necessary performance and characteristics to meet final distribution requirements: c a nominal rating of 0.5 to 125 A, c a breaking capacity of up to 50 kA as per BSEN 60947-2, c tripping curves B, C, D and MA, c simple, safe installation system on DIN rail, c Vigi module can easily be clipped onto the protection devices, c C60H is also available as a singe pole wide Rcbo, The Multi 9 circuit-breakers are designed according to magnetic actuator principles, thus allowing very quick development of arc voltage.

The discrimination rules from 1 to 6300 A
The Masterpact circuit-breakers provide total discrimination with all the downstream circuit-breakers if the 4 following conditions are met: c the ratio between Long Time settings of the 2 devices is 1.6, c the ratio between Short Time settings is 1.5, c the intentional time delay settings are compatible, c setting of the instantaneous threshold, if any, must be on OFF.
General discrimination rules (in distribution)

"Natural" discrimination rules between Compact NS

c Discrimination between distribution circuit-breakers With Compact NS, simple discrimination rules can be drawn up due to the new implementation techniques. c Overload protection: current discrimination As in the general case, current discrimination between Compact NS circuit-breakers is provided if the ratio of the tripping thresholds: - Long Time (LT) is greater than 1.2 to 2.5, - Short Time (ST) is greater than 1.5 to 2, according to the types of trip units equipping the devices. c Low value short-circuit protection: time discrimination: Tripping of the upstream device D1 is slightly time delayed up to reflex tripping. Consequently, as the downstream circuit-breaker is of a lower rating current size it will be far quicker and will break in a time less than the time delay of the upstream circuit-breaker. This discrimination, of the time type, is applicable up to reflex tripping of the upstream device (roughly 35 ln). The protection between Compact NS is selective if the ratio between the physical sizes (ratings) of the circuit-breakers is greater than 2.5. c High value short-circuit protection: energy discrimination The breaking technique developed in Compact NS outstanding limitation and reflex tripping- allows natural staging of D2 tripping and D1 non-tripping energy curves. c Principle When a very high short-circuit is detected by circuit-breakers D1 and D2, the device contacts open slightly at the same time, thus limiting current. c The arc energy, high at D2, causes it to trip. c The arc energy, limited at D1, is not sufficient for it to trip. As a result, as the downstream circuit-breaker is of a lower rating current size it will be more limiting. It will break with a current limitation such that the fault energy is markedly less than the tripping threshold of the upstream circuit-breaker.

ID/IN1 D1
UA D1 ts PD1 t's t
Reflexe
With traditional circuit-breakers, when cascading is implemented between two devices, discrimination is obtained by tripping of the upstream circuit-breaker D1 to help downstream circuit-breaker D2 to break the current. The discrimination limit has a value ls at most equal to the breaking capacity lcuD2 of the downstream circuitbreaker. In the case of Compact NS type circuit-breakers, the breaking technique implemented on high short-circuit currents increases the discrimination limit. c The Compact NS downstream D2 sees a very high short-circuit current. Reflex tripping causes it to trip very quickly (< 1 ms) with a very great limitation of the fault current. c The Compact NS upstream D1 sees a very limited fault current. This current generates repulsion of the contacts/RC curve, resulting in an arc voltage limiting still further the short-circuit current. However arc pressure is not sufficient to cause reflex tripping. Thus the Compact NS D1 helps the Compact NS D2 to break the current without tripping. The discrimination limit ls can exceed the breaking capacity lcuD2 of the downstream circuit-breaker and reach the breaking capacity enhanced by cascading. Discrimination then becomes total with an optimised device cost

The figure above illustrates the three types of discrimination.

Specific applications
Comparison with fuses This rule can be compared with that used for fuse combinations when the ratio of the current ratings must be greater than 1.6. However, compared with fuse combinations: c distribution circuit-breaker, c the enhanced discrimination tables, depending on test results, often make it possible to come down to comparable ratios, c the possibility of obtaining discrimination and cascading with downstream circuitbreakers (enhanced discrimination), c motor protection circuit-breaker, c motor protection circuit-breakers are ideally sized for the motor rating, whereas the fuse must be oversized with respect to motor nominal rating. The combination benefits from all the possibilities offered by the additional integrated functions relating to circuit-breakers. The discrimination ratio is then equivalent. In this sense, the Compact NS combine the following: c qualities of fuses with respect to high short-circuits, c qualities naturally greater for treating overload faults and low value short-circuits, discrimination rules, c advantages relating to additional functions and the communication potential of circuit-breakers.
Discrimination between a distribution circuit-breaker and a protection circuitbreaker The qualities of the Compact NS enable them to be used in motor protection.

Implementation of discrimination and cascading
Discrimination tables
The tables in section 3 show the discrimination possibilities of the Merlin Gerin circuit-breakers with one another. Depending on whether or not there is cascading, the results come from a comparison of characteristics or tests. Conditions of use Conditions of use are specified: circuit-breakers can be used in distribution or motor protection. Reading the tables The shaded boxes and boxes containing a "T" correspond to total discrimination between the relevant upstream and downstream circuit-breakersunder all fault conditions. For the other boxes, discrimination is either partial (indicated discrimination limit) or there is no discrimination (boxes with no value mentioned). Tables of discrimination enhanced by cascading with Compact NS With Compact NS type circuit-breakers, the cascading implemented between two devices increases the discrimination limit. This can consequently reach the breaking capacity enhanced by cascading and discrimination then becomes total. This is expressed in enhanced discrimination tables with these circuit-breakers see page 45.
Cascading tables
The tables in section 3 give,in 220/240 V and 400/415 V phase-to-phase distribution and then in motor protection, the cascading possibilities according to BSEN 60947-2 between circuit-breakers: c Multi 9 with Multi 9, c Compact NS, Compact, Masterpact with Multi 9 and with one another. For circuit-breakers used in single-phase on a TN system, the 220/240 V table is used. NB: The cascading tables are given for an earthing system of the TN or TT type. They do not apply to the IT systems. Case of several parallel-connected transformers In this case, specific tables must be used which give the types of circuit-breaker to be installed on the source feeders and on the main feeders in the case of 2 or 3 parallel-connected transformers. They are drawn up with the following assumptions: c short-circuit power of the upstream network of 500 MVA, c coupled transformers are identical (20 kV/410 V) and have a standard short-circuit voltage, c the short-circuit current on the busbar does not allow for link impedances (most unfavourable case), c the conditions for parallel-connecting of transformers are met, i.e. the transformers have: v the same Usc, v the same ratio, v a ratio of powers < 2. lsc is given for information, it may vary according to the Usc as a % given by the transformer manufacturers. The values of the breaking capacities enhanced by cascading are thus given for higher values.

c Discrimination with the HV 1 The 2 protection devices are in "series". Consequently, the advantages of continuity of supply linked to discrimination between protection devices do not appear interesting. Nevertheless, the main advantage of HV/LV discrimination is that resumption of operation is less restrictive in LV (accessibility, padlocking). Comparison of the tripping curves brought to the secondary of the HV/LV transformer shows that discrimination between the Masterpact NW16 and the upstream is: v total: if the Masterpact has a tripping without intentional time delay, v almost total: if the Masterpact NW has a tripping with intentional time delay at band 0,1 (Micrologic 5.0 A at 0.4 ON at 0.1 ON), at worst the discrimination limit is at 23 kA (1). 1) The parallel-connection of 2 transformers creates an lsc on the common BB of 70 kA, but each source transformer only sees an lsc of 23 kA. NB: discrimination is total with an upstream HV circuit-breaker.
c Discrimination with the downstream LV part 2 According to the rule laid down on page 36, the Masterpact NW16H1 circuit-breaker at band 0.1 is completely selective with all the downstream circuit-breakers: v if they have an intentional time delay one band lower. In this case, they must not have an intentional time delay (band 0), v if the ratio of ratings is < 1.3. Consequently, the Masterpact NW16H1 is totally selective with the downstream C1001H.
Cascading
There is no cascading between the NW16H1 and C1001H circuit-breakers.
44
At the power distribution switchboard
c Cascading between the C1001H and the NS400/NS100, by enhancing the breaking capacity of the NS, enables use of N type NS. c The discrimination tables show that use of N type NS circuit-breakers is "totally selective" with the C1001H. This discrimination is limited to the intrinsic breaking capacity of the downstream device, i.e. respectively 25 kA for the NS100N and 45 kA for the NS400N. At installation level (figure on page 41), the NS100 supplies non-priority feeders. Consequently, implementation of a Compact NS100 of the N type ensuring discrimination up to 25 kA is an optimised protection solution. On the other hand, the NS400 supplies loads requiring a high electrical power availability. Total discrimination for the user, i.e. up to the assumed lsc level, is necessary. An H type NS400 must then be installed, that provides this performance due to the very great limiting capacity of this circuit-breaker.
At the subdistribution switchboard
Downstream of the NS400H circuit-breaker, coordination with the NS160N circuitbreaker is provided thanks to enhanced cascading: c with enhancement of breaking capacity of the NS160N (up to 70 kA), c enhancement of discrimination (up to the enhanced breaking capacity of NS160N, i.e. 70 kA). Discrimination is total. Motor protection circuit-breaker Coordination with upstream distribution The motor power (75 kA) requires at 400 V a protection by an NS160 MA circuitbreaker set at 150 A. Coordination performance is identical to that established for distribution protection, i.e. c enhancement of breaking capacity of the NS160 MA, c with enhancement of discrimination (up to the enhanced breaking capacity of NS160 MA, i.e. 70 kA). Coordination at motor feeder level The limiting qualities of the NS160 circuit-breaker results in a type 2 coordination with standard components: Telemecanique contactors and thermal protection relay. This coordination is guaranteed by Schneider Electric. NB: Protection by fuse results in oversizing of the motor feeder components to obtain a type 2 coordination.
At the final distribution switchboard
Despite the lsc level, at this point of the installation, coordination performance between the Compact NS and M9 ranges ensures total discrimination using a standard C60H. Total discrimination of this installation was provided between: c HV and LV, c on 5 stages of LV distribution Schneider Electric also provides a software to assist with defining circuit-breakers, Ecodial. It optimises choice of circuit-breakers and their settings according to the installation type.

Cascading, and enhanced discrimination

Upstream: Compact NS100 to C1251H Downstream: Circuit breaker Multi 9/Integral/GV2/Compact NS100 to 630
With traditional circuit breakers, cascading between two devices generally results in the look of discrimination. With Compact NS circuit breakers, the discrimination characteristics in the tables remain applicable and are in some cases even enhanced. Protection discrimination is ensured for short-circuit currents greater than the rated breaking capacity of the circuit breaker and even, in some cases, for its enhanced breaking capacity. In the latter case, protection discrimination Ia total, i.e. only the downstream device trips for any and all possible faults at its point in the installation. Example Consider a combination between: c a Compact NS250N with trip unit TM250D c a Compact NS100N with trip unit TM100D. The discrimination tables indicate total discrimination. Protection discrimination is therefore ensured up to the breaking capacity of the NS100N, i.e. 25 kA. The cascading tables indicate an enhanced breaking capacity of 36 kA. The enhanced discrimination tables indicate that in a cascading configuration, discrimination is ensured up to 36 kA, i.e. for any and all possible faults at that point in the installation.
Enhanced discrimination tables - 380/415 V

For each combination of two circuit breakers, the tables indicate the: downstream device breaking capacity enhanced by cascading (in kA) selectivity limit enhanced by cascading (in kA) In a table, a box containing two equal values indicates that discrimination is provided up to the reinforced breaking capacity of the downstream device. These tables apply only to cases with combined discrimination and cascading between two devices. For all other cases, refer to the normal cascading and discrimination tables.
15/25
Technical principle
Enhanced discrimination is the result of the exclusive Compact NS Roto-active breaking technique which operates as follows: c due to the short-circuit current (electrodynamic forces), the contacts in both devices simultaneously separate. The result is major limitation of the short-circuit current c the dissipated energy provokes the reflex tripping of the downstream device, but is insufficient to trip the upstream device.

Determination of short-circuit current
Isc at the receiving end of a feeder in terms of the Isc at its begining
The following tables, derived by the method of composition (mentioned in Chapter G Sub-clause 5.2) give a rapid and sufficiently accurate value of shortcircuit current at a point in a network, knowing: c the value of short-circuit current upstream of the point considered c the length and compassion of the circuit between the point at which the short-circuit current level is known, and the point at which the level is to be determined. It is then sufficient to select a circuit breaker with an appropriate short circuit fault rating immeciately above that indicated in the tables. If more precise values are required, it is possible to make a detailed calculation (see Sub-Clause 4.2 above) or to use a software package, such as Ecodial*. In such a case, moreover, the possibility of using the cascading technique should be considered, in which the use of a currentlimiting circuit breaker at the upstream position would allow all circuit breakers downstream of the limiter to have a shortcircuit-current rating much lower than would otherwise be necessary.

Example: The network shown in typifies a case for the application of table. Select the c.s.a. of the conductor in the column for copper conductors (in this example the c.s.a. is 50 mm2). Search along the row corresponding to 50mm2 for the length of conductor equal to that of the circuit concerned (or nearest possible on the low side). Descend vertically the column in which the length is located, and stop at a row in the middle section (of the 3 sections of the table) corresponding to the known fault current level (or the nearest to it on the high side). In this case 30 kA is the nearest to 28 kA on the high side. The value of shortcircuit current at the downstream end of the 11 metre circuit is given at the intersection of the vertical column in which the length is located, and the horizontal row corresponding to the upstream Isc (or nearest to it on the high side). This value in the example is seen to be 19 kA. The procedure for aluminium conductors is similar, but the vertical column must be ascended into the middle section of the table. In consequence, a Din-railmounted circuit breaker rated at 63 A and Isc of 50 kA (such as a NC100LH unit*) can be used for the 55 A circuit. A Compact* rated at 60 A with an Isc capacity of 25 kA (such as a NS160N unit*) can be used to protect the 160 A circuit.

selecting incoming or outgoing circuit breakers according to the number and kVA rating of source transformers
The selection of a circuit breaker protecting a circuit mainly depends on: c the rated current of the source or of the load which determines the rating of the equipment. c the maximum short-circuit current at the point of installation which determines the minimum breaking capacity of the equipment. Case with several transformers
HV 1 Isc1 LV A1 D1 B1 Isc2
HV 2 LV A2 D2 B2 Isc3
HV 3 LV A3 D3 B3
D4 C
D5
For the case involving several transformers in parallel(1): in the incoming circuit breaker D1 must have a breaking capacity higher than the larger of the following 2 values: v either Isc1 (for a short-circuit in B1) v or Isc2 + Isc3 (for a short-circuit in A1) c the outgoing circuit breaker D4 must have a breaking capacity higher than Isc1 + Isc2 + Isc3.

Current limiting curves
The current limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is expressed by two curves which give, as a function of the prospective shortcircuit current (the current which would flow if no protection devices were installed): c The actual peak current (limited current); c The thermal stress (A2s), i. e. the energy dissipated by the short-circuit in a conductor with a resistance of 1 .
Is an Cu/PVC cable with a cross-section of 10 mm2 adequately protected by an NS160N? Answer: The table below indicates that the permissible stress is 1.32 106 A2s. All short-circuit currents at the point where an NS160N (Icu = 35 kA) is installed are limited with a thermal stress less than 6 105 A2s. Cable protection is therefore ensured up to the limit of the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker.

Protection of LV/LV transformers
Inrush currents
I 1ere crte 10 25In
When LV/LV transformers are switched on, very high inrush currents are produced which must be taken into account when choosing overcurrent protection devices.
The peak value of the first current wave often reaches 10 to 15 times the rated rms current of the transformer and may reach values of 20 to 25 times the rated current even for transformers rated less than 50 kVA. This transient inrush current decays very quickly (in a few milliseconds).

Selecting the protection

eprimary winding p
Merlin Gerin has conducted an extensive test programme to optimise the protection of LV/LV transformers. The Compact and Masterpact circuit breakers detailed in the following tables offer the following advantages: c Protection of the transformer in the event of abnormal overloads; c No nuisance tripping when the primary winding is energised; c Unimpaired electrical endurance of the circuit breaker.
The transformers used for the tests are standard. The values in the tables have been calculated for a crest factor of 25. These tables indicated the circuit breaker and trip unit to be used depending on: c The primary supply voltage (230 V or 400 V) ; c The type of transformer (single-phase or three-phase). They correspond to the most frequent case in which the primary is wound externally(1). The type of circuit breaker to be used (i.e. N, H or L) depends on the breaking capacity required at the point of installation.

(1) For other windings, please consult us. If a circuit breaker upstream of a transformer with a transformation ratio of 1 and a rated power of less than 5 kVA is subject to nuisance tripping, before choosing a circuit breaker with a higher rating, invert the input and the output of the transformer (the inrush current may be doubled if the primary is wound internally rather than externally).
Assumptions The tables give recommended mcb ratings for single phase transformers up to 12500 VA and three phase transformers up to 30000 VA based on the following formula: MCB rating = 15 x normal running current of transformer min. instantaneous tripping coefficient of mcb

400 HZ applications
Tripping thresholds
The 400 Hz current settings are obtained by multiplying the 50 Hz values by the following coefficient: c K1 for thermal trip units; c K2 for magnetic trip units. On adjustable trip units, these adaptation coefficients are independent of the unit adjustment knob position.
For thermal trip units, the current settings are lower at 400 Hz than at 50 Hz (K1 i 1). For magnetic trip units, the current settings are conversely higher at 400 Hz than at 50 Hz (K2 u 1). Adjustable trip units should be set to minimum, or use Compact circuit breakers equipped with low magnetic trip units (type G).
Electronic trip units The use of electronics offers the advantage of greater operating stability when the frequency is varied. However, the devices are still subjected to frequency related temperature effects which may sometimes pose restrictions on their use. Column K1 of the table below gives the maximum permissible current to be used for the current setting (knob position).

Circuit breaker selection for DC applications
Selection criteria
The selection of the type of circuit breaker most suitable for protection of a DC installation depends mainly on the following criteria: c The rated current, which determines the rating of the equipment; Type of system
c The rated voltage, which determines the number of poles in series necessary for breaking; c The maximum short-circuit current at the point of installation, which determines the breaking capacity; c The type of network (see below). Insulated systems A centre point of the DC supply is earthed
Earthed systems One polarity of the DC supply is earthed
Diagrams and various cases of faults
Fault effect
Fault A
Fault B Fault C Most unfavorable case Distribution of the breaking poles
Max. Isc the positive polarity is the only one involved Max. Isc both polarities are involved No effect Fault A The poles required to perform the break are in series on the positive polarity Example
Isc close to max. Isc the positive polarity is the only one involved, voltage U/2 Max. Isc both polarities are involved Same as fault A but this is the negative polarity which is involved Faults A and C On each polarity there must be the number of poles required to perform the break of max. Isc at U/2
No effect
Max. Isc both polarities are involved No effect Fault B the poles required to perform the break are shared between the 2 polarities
Calculation the short-circuit current (Isc) across the terminals of a battery When a short-circuit occurs across its terminals, a battery discharges a current given by Ohm's law: Vb Isc = Ri Where Vb = the maximum discharge voltage (battery 100 % charged). and Ri = the internal resistance equivalent to the sum of the cell resistances (figure generally given by the manufacturer according to the capacity of the battery). Example 1 Determine the protection required for a 80 A feeder on a 125 V DC network with an earthed negative pole and an Isc of 15 kA.
What is the short-circuit current at the terminals of a standing battery with the following characteristics: c Capacity: 500 Ah; c Max. discharge voltage: 240 V (110 cells of 2.2 V); c Discharge current: 300 A; c Autonomy: 1/2 hour; c Internal resistance: 0.5 m per cell. Ri = 110 x 0.5 10-3 = 55 x10-3 240 Isc = = 4.4kA 55 10 -3 Example 2 Determine the protection required for a 100 A feeder on a 250 V DC network with an earthed middle point and an Isc of 15 kA.
As the above calculation shows, the shortcircuit current is relatively weak.

Note: If the internal resistance is not known, the following approximate formula can be used: Isc = kC, where C is the capacity of the battery expressed in Ampere-hours, and k is a coefficient close to 10 but in any case always lower than 20.
Example 3 Determine the protection required for a 400 A feeder on an unearthed 250 V DC network with an Isc of 35 kA.
The table opposite indicates that a NC100H circuit breaker (30 kA, 2P, 125 V) should be used. The table above indicates that both circuit breaker poles should be fitted on the positive pole of the network. An additional circuit breaker pole can be fitted on the negative pole of the network for isolation purposes.
Each pole will be exposed to a maximum of U/2 = 125 V. The table opposite indicates that NC100H (30 kA, 2P, 125 V), NS100N (50 kA, 1P, 125 V) or NS160N (50 kA, 1P, 125 V) circuit breakers should be used. The table above indicates that both circuit breaker poles must take part in the breaking at a voltage of 125 V.
The table opposite indicates that NS400H circuit breakers (85 kA, 1P, 250 V) should be used. At least 2 poles must take part in breaking. The table above indicates that the half the number of circuit breaker poles required for breaking should be fitted on the positive pole of the network and the other half on the negative pole.

Functions and positions of LV switches

The switch is essentially a control device, (generally manual, possibly electrical on opening - termed a free tripping switch) capable of breaking and closing a normal service circuit. It does not use any electricity to remain open or closed (2 stable positions). For safety reasons, in the majority of cases is suitable for isolation. It must always be used in association with a device which protects against overloads and short-circuits. 6 applications have thus been identified: c coupling and insolating switch in a power switchboard c isolating switch in an industrial switchboard and automation cabinets c isolating switch in a modular switchboard c isolating switch in proximity units c isolating switch in small commercial distribution units c automation unit switch.

Isolation permits a circuit or a device to be disconnected from the rest of the electrical installation, in order to guarantee the safety of those who have to achieve repairs or maintenance. Normally, all circuits in an electrical installation must be capable of being isolated. In practice, to ensure optimal continuity of service, an isolating device is installed at the start of every circuit distribution. Certain switches allow this function to be achieved in addition to their circuit control function. Therefore a switch-disconnector must display the symbol (illustrated opposite), visibly on the front face of the installed device.
Isolating function
Installation standards stipulate the requirements which must be respected in order for a device to carry out its isolating function. It must: c be with equipped with omnipolar isolation, that is to say that the live conductors, including the neutral (with the exception of the PEN conductor which must never be isolated) must be isolated simultaneously c be lockable in the open position so as to prevent any risk of involontary reclosing ; this is imperative for industrial devices c conform to a standard which guarantees its suitability for isolation c It must also meet overvoltage withstand requirements. However, if the isolation is explicitly recognized by a manufacturing standard, for example IEC 60947-1/3 for industrial switch-disconnectors, a device which complies with this isolation standard is judged to comply fully with the conditions required by installation standards. The manufacturing standard guarantees its use for isolation suitability for the user.

Switch standards and characteristics

Switch standards
Standards define: c the frequency of operation cycles (with a maximum of 120 per hour) c mechanical and electrical endurance c operating breaking and making capacity v normal v occasional (closing on short-circuit for example) c utilization categories. The IEC standards 60947-3 (1) and 60669-1 (2) thus define the principal values which are given below.
Utilization category
Depending on the rated operating current and the A or B mechanical endurance, standards define the utilization categories shown in the table below. Example: A switch with a rating of 125 A, from the AC23 category must be able to: c make a 10 In (1250 A) current with a cos of 0.35 c break a 8 In (1000 A) current with a cos of 0.35. Its other characteristics are: c to withstand a 12 In - 1 s short-circuit current, which defines the Icw = 1500 A r.m.s. thermal withstand during 1 s c Icm (peak A) short-circuit making capacity which corresponds to the electrodynamic loads.
Utilization category
Frequent operations
AC-21A AC-22A AC-23A
Characteristic applications
Resistive loads including moderate overloads (cos = 0,95) Mixed resistive and inductive loads including moderate overloads (cos = 0,65) Motors with cage winding or orther loads which are very inductive (cos = 0,45 or 0,35)
Non frequent operations

AC-21B AC-22B AC-23B
(1) The industrial type of switch is defined by the IEC standard 60947-3. (2) The domestic type of switch is defined by the IEC standard 60669-1.
Choice of switch criteria

Network characteristics
Nominal voltage, nominal frequency and nominal current are determined in the same way as they are for a circuit breaker: c nominal voltage = network nominal voltage c frequency = network frequency c nominal current = rated current with a value which is just above the downstream load current. It is to be noted that the rated current is defined for a given ambient temperature and that a derating may possibly have to be taken into account.
Localization and application

This determines the type and characteristics or major functions that the switch should include. There are 3 levels of functions (see the table opposite): c basic functions practically common to all types of switch: isolation, control, notice. c functions with complementary characteristics. They are the direct translation of the user s needs and the environment in which the switch is located.

Circuit-breaker or fuse / switch coordination

Coordination
NC100H
As a switch only has a limited breaking capacity and short-circuit withstand, it must be protected by a short-circuit protection device (SCPD) placed upstream. Tables show the SCPD (circuit-breaker or fuse) ensuring proper coordination with the switches in the event of a downstream short-circuit. Warning: switches must be also protected against overloads. It's generally admitted that the protection against the overloads and short-circuit, is ensured by each downstream circuit-breakers as these circuit-breakers and these switches are located in the same switchboard, designed according to the electrical standards.
Modular switch
Icc 20 kA C60H 30 A C60H 30 A C60H 30 A
Example 1: An enclosure feeder, with an Isc on the busbar of 20 kA, supplies loads with operational currents of 30 A, 20 A and 10 A respectiveldy in single-phase. The installation earthing system is the TT one. The feeder supplying this enclosure is placed in the upstream switchboard and protected by a two-pole NC100H circuitbreaker. Which residual current switch should you choose for the enclosure incomer? As the feeders are placed in the same enclosure as the switch, cordination can be achieved with each enclosure feeder. Choice will thus be made of an RMG residual current switch of rating 63 A and of C60H type circuit-breakes for the feeders: the table above shows that the C60H withstands 20 kA in this case.

Cascading for installations with 2 or 3 transformers in parallel
What is cascading?
Cascading is the use of the current limiting capacity of circuit breakers at a given point to permit installation of lower-rated and therefore lower-cost circuit breakers downstream. The upstream Compact circuit breakers acts as a barrier against short-circuit currents. In this way, downstream circuit breakers with lower breaking capacities than the prospective short-circuit (at their point of installation) operate under their normal breaking conditions. Since the current is limited throughout the circuit controlled by the limiting circuit breaker, cascading applies to all switchgear downstream. It is not restricted to two consecutive devices.
General use of cascading

With cascading, the devices can be installed in different switchboards. Thus, in general, cascading refers to any combination of circuit breakers where a circuit breaker with a breaking capacity less than the prospective Isc at its point of installation can be used. Of course, the breaking capacity of the upstream circuit breaker must be greater than or equal to the prospective short-circuit current at its point of installation. The combination of two circuit breakers in cascading configuration is covered by the following standards: c BSEN 60947-2 (construction) c IEC 364 & BS 7671 (installation).
Coordination between circuit breakers

The use of a protective device possessing a breaking capacity less than the prospective short-circuit current at its installation point is permitted as long as another device is installed upstream with at least the necessary breaking capacity. In this case, the characteristics of the two devices must be coordinated in such a way that the energy let through by the upstream device is not more than that which can be withstood by the downstream device and the cables protected by these devices without damage. Cascading can only be checked by laboratory tests and the possible combinations can be specified only by the circuit breaker manufacturer.
220/240 V network downstream from a 380/415 V network

For 1P + N or 2P circuit breakers connected between the phase and neutral on a 380/415 V network, with a TT or TNS neutral system, consult the 220/240 V cascading table to determinate cascading possibilities between upstream and downstream circuit breakers.

Cascading
Cascading and protection discrimination

In cascading configurations, due to the Roto-active breaking technique, discrimination is maintained and , in some cases, even enhanced. Consult the enhanced discrimination tables on pages 45 to 52 for data on discrimination limits
Economy by means of cascading

Thanks to cascading, circuit breakers with breaking capacities less than the prospective short-circuit current may be installed downstream from a current limiting circuit breaker. It follows that substantial savings can be made on downstream switchgear and enclosures. The example below illustrates this possibility.
Cascading tables
Merlin Gerin cascading tables are: c drawn up on the basis of calculations (comparison between the energy limited by the upstream device and the maximum permissible thermal stress for the downstream device) c verified experimentally in accordance with BS standard 60947-2. For distribution systems with 220/240 V, 400/415 V and 440 V between phases, the tables of the following pages indicate cascading possibilities between upstream Compact and downstream Multi 9 and Compact circuit breakers as well as between upstream Masterpact and downstream Compact circuit breakers.
Example of three level cascading

A Isc = 80kA NS250L 220A B Isc = 50kA NS100N 63A
C Isc = 24kA C60H 25A
Consider three circuit breakers A, B and C connected in series. The criteria for cascading are fulfilled in the following two cases: c the upstream device A is coordinated for cascading with both devices B and C (even if the cascading criteria are not fulfilled between B and C). It is simply necessary to check that the combinations A + B and A + C have the required breaking capacity c each pair of successive devices is coordinated, i.e. A with B and B with C (even if the cascading criteria are not fulfilled between A and C). It is simply necessary to check that the combinations A + B and B + C have the required breaking capacity. The upstream breaker A is a NS250L (breaking capacity 150 kA) for a prospective lsc of 80 kA across its output terminals. A NS100N (breaking capacity 25 kA) can be used for circuit breaker B for a prospective lsc of 50 kA across its output terminals, since the "reinforced" breaking capacity provided by cascading with the upstream NS250L is 150 kA. A C60H (breaking capacity 10 kA) can be used for circuit breaker C for a prospective lsc of 24 kA across its output terminals since the "reinforced" breaking capacity provided by cascading with the upstream NS250L is 30 kA. Note that the "reinforced" breaking capacity of the C60H with the NS100N upstream is only 25 kA, but: c A + B = 150 kA c A + C = 30 kA.

Cascading for installations with several transformers in parallel

The following table indicates the types of circuit breakers to be installed on the source feeders and main feeders of an installation with 2 or 3 transformers connected in parallel (1). The following assumptions are made: c upstream network short-circuit power of 500 MVA c the transformers are all identical, 20 kV/415 V and with a normal short-circuit voltage level c the short-circuit current on the busbars does not take into account the connection impedances (the worst case) c the equipment is installed in a switchboard with an ambient temperature of 30 C c to connect several transformers in parallel, the transformers must have: v the same Usc v the same transformation ratio v the same type of connection v a maximum power ratio of 2 between any two of the transformers v Isc is given only as a general indication and may vary depending on the percent Usc values given by the transformer manufacturers; the values for breaking capacities reinforced by cascading are therefore given for higher values.

Example: Consider 2 parallel 800 kVA transformers. The source protection devices are two C1251N circuit breakers equipped with STR25DE trip units set at 1250 A. The installation has two feeders rated 125 A and 630 A respectively. Isc max downstream of CB4 is 44640. The 630 A feeder will be protected by a NS630N circuit breaker (a breaking capacity of 50 kA with cascading). The 125 A feeder will be equipped with a NS160H circuit breaker as cascading is not possible with an NS160N.

Protection discrimination
Contents
Using the tables Two circuit breakers offer total discrimination when the corresponding box in the discrimination table is shaded or contains the letter T. When discrimination is partial for the combination, the corresponding box indicates the maximum value of the fault current for which discrimination is provided. For fault currents above this value, the two circuit breakers trip simultaneously.

Protection discrimination is an essential element that must be taken into account starting at the design stage of a low voltage installation to ensure the highest level of availability for users. Discrimination is important in all installations for the comfort of users, however it is fundamental in installations requiring a high level of service continuity, e.g. industrial manufacturing processes. Industrial installations without discrimination run a series of risks of varying importance including: c production deadline overruns c interruption in manufacturing, entailing: v production or finished-product losses v risk of damage to production machines in continuous processes c restarting of machines, one by one, following a general power outage c shutdown of vital safety equipment such as lubrification pumps, smoke fans, etc.

What is discrimination?
D1
D2
Discrimination, also called selectivity, is the coordination of automatic protection devices in such a manner that a fault appearing at a given point in a network is cleared by the protection device installed immediately upstream of the fault, and by that device alone. c Total discrimination Discrimination is said to be total if, for all fault current values, from overloads up to the non-resistive short-circuit current, circuit breaker D2 opens and D1 remains closed. c Partial discrimination Discrimination is partial if the above condition is not respected up to the full shortcircuit current, but only to a lesser value termed the selectivity limit current (Is). c No discrimination In the event of a fault, both circuit breakers D1 and D2 open.
Total discrimination as standard with the new Masterpact NW circuit breakers

Thanks to their highly innovative design and the exeptional performance of their control units, the new Masterpact NT and NW circuit breakers offer total discrimination with downstream Compact NS devices up to 630 A as standard (1).
Natural discrimination with Compact NS circuit breakers

Due to the Roto-active breaking technique employed by the Compact NS, the combined use of Merlin Gerin circuit breakers provides an exceptional level of protection discrimination. This is the result of the implementation and optimisation of three different techniques: c current discrimination c time discrimination c energy discrimination.
Overload protection: current discrimination

Discrimination is ensured if the ratio between setting thresholds is greater than 1.6 (for distribution circuit breakers). Low short-circuit protection: current discrimination
Tripping of the upstream device is slightly delayed to ensure that the downstream device trips first.
Discrimination is ensured if the ratio between the short-circuit thresholds is greater than 1.5. High short-circuit protection: time discrimination

NS and the advantages of reflex tripping, sensitive to the energy dissipated in the device by the short-circuit. In the event of a high short-circuit detected by two circuit breakers, the downstream device limits it sharply. The energy dissipated in the upstream device is not sufficient to trip it, i.e. discrimination is total for all short-circuit currents. Discrimination is ensured if the ratio between the circuit breaker ratings is greater than 2.

How to use the discrimination tables

D1
c For discrimination between 2 distribution circuit breakers Combinations providing total discrimination are indicated by coloured zones or the symbol T on a coloured background. If discrimination is partial, the table indicates the maximum fault current value for which discrimination is ensured. For fault currents above this value, the 2 circuit breakers trip simultaneously. c For discrimination between a circuit breaker and a motor control and protection assembly If discrimination is partial, the table indicates the maximum fault current value for which discrimination is ensured. For fault currents above this value, the 2 devices trip simultaneously.

Protection of motor circuits Circuit breaker/contactor coordination

A circuit supplying a motor may include one, two, three or four switchgear or controlgear devices fulfilling one or more functions. When a number of devices are used, they must be coordinated to ensure optimum operation of the motor. Protection of a motor circuit involves a number of parameters that depend on: c the application (type of machine driven, operating safety, starting frequency, etc.) c the level of service continuity imposed by the load or the application c the applicable standards to ensure protection of life and property. The necessary electrical functions are of very different natures: c protection (motor-dedicated for overloads) c control (generally with high endurance levels) c isolation
E34300
Protection functions
Disconnection functions: Isolate a motor circuit prior to maintenance operations. Short-circuit protection: Protect the starter and the cables against major overcurrents (> 10 In). Control: Start and stop the motor, and, if applicable: c gradual acceleration c speed control. Overload protection: Protect the starter and the cables against minor overcurrents (< 10 In). Additional specific protection: c Limitative fault protection (while the motor is running) c Preventive fault protection (monitoring of motor insulation with motor off). Overloads (I < 10 In) An overload may be caused by: c an electrical problem, for instance on the mains (loss of a phase, voltage outside tolerances, etc.) c a mechanical problem, for instance excessive torque due to abnormally high demands by the process or motor damage (bearing vibrations, etc.). A further consequence of these two origins is excessively long starting. Impedant short-circuit (10 < I < 50 In) Deterioration of motor-winding insulation is the primary cause. Short-circuit (I > 50 In) This type of fault is relatively rare. A possible cause may be a connection error during maintenance. Overload protection Thermal relays provide protection against this type of fault. They may be: c integrated in the short-circuit protective device c separate. Short-circuit protection This type of protection is provided by a circuit breaker. Protection against insulation faults This type of protection may be provided by: c a residual current device (RCD) c an insulation monitoring device (IMD).
163

Applicable standards
A circuit supplying a motor must comply with the general rules set out in IEC standard 60947-4-1 and in particular with those concerning contactors, motor starters and their protection as stipulated in IEC 60947-4-1, notably: c coordination of the components of the motor circuit c trip class for thermal relays c contactor utilisation categories c coordination of insulation.
Coordination of the components of the motor circuit

Two types of coordination The standard defines tests at different current levels. The purpose of these tests is to place the switchgear and controlgear in extreme conditions. Depending on the state of the components following the tests, the standard defines two types of coordination. c Type 1 Deterioration of the contactor and the relay is acceptable under two conditions: v no danger to operating personnel v no danger to any components other than the contactor and the relay; c Type 2 Only minor welding of the contactor or starter contacts is permissible and the contacts must be easily separated. v following type-2 coordination tests, the switchgear and controlgear functions must be fully operational. Which type of coordination is needed? Selection of a type of coordination depends on the operating conditions encountered. The goal is to achieve the best balance between the users needs and the running of the installation. c Type 2 v continuity of service is imperative v limited maintenance service v specifications stipulating type 2. Our recommendation would be for Type 2 coordination as a standard requirement.
164

The different test currents
Ic, r and Iq test currents To qualify for type-2 coordination, the standard requires three fault-current tests to check that the switchgear and controlgear operates correctly under overload and short-circuit conditions. Ic current (overload I < 10 In) The thermal relay provides protection against this type of fault, up to the Ic value (a function of Im or Isd) defined by the manufacturer. IEC standard 60947-4-1 stipulates two tests that must be carried out to guarantee coordination between the thermal relay and the short-circuit protective device: c at 0.75 Ic, only the thermal relay reacts c at 1.25 Ic, the short-circuit protective device reacts. Following the tests at 0.75 and 1.25 Ic, the trip characteristics of the thermal relay must be unchanged. Type-2 coordination thus enhances continuity of service. The contactor may be closed automatically following clearing of the fault. r current (Impedant short-circuit 10< I < 50 In) The primary cause of this type of fault is the deterioration of insulation. IEC standard 60947-4-1 defines an intermediate short-circuit current r. This test current is used to check that the protective device provides protection against impedant short-circuits. There must be no modification in the original characteristics of the contactor and the thermal relay following the test. The circuit breaker must trip in i 10 ms for a fault current 15 In.

Iq current (short-circuit I > 50 In) This type of fault is relatively rare. A possible cause may be a connection error during maintenance. Short-circuit protection is provided by devices that open quickly. IEC standard 60947-4-1 defines the Iq current as generally 50 kA. The Iq current is used to check the coordination of the switchgear and controlgear installed on a motor supply circuit. Following this test under extreme conditions, all the coordinated switchgear and controlgear must remain operational.

Trip class of a thermal relay

The four trip class of a thermal relay are 10 A, 10, 20 and 30 (maximum tripping times at 7.2 Ir). Classes 10 and 10 A are the most commonly used. Classes 20 and 30 are reserved for motors with difficult starting conditions. The diagram and the table opposite can be used to select a thermal relay suited to the motor starting time.

The four utilisation categories of contactors (AC1 to AC4)
The four utilisation categories of contactors (AC1 to AC4)The utilisation category determines the operating frequency and endurance of a contactor. The category depends on the type of load. If the load is a motor; the category also depends on the service classification. Main characteristics of the controlled electrical circuits and applications
Category AC1 AC2
Type of load no-inductive (cos 0,8) slip-ring motors (cos 0,65)
AC3
AC4
squirrel-cage motors (cos 0,45 for le 100A) (cos 0,35 for le > 100A) squirrel-cage motors (cos 0,45 for le 100A) (cos 0,35 for le > 100A)
Contactor usage energisation starting switching off during running regenerative braking inching starting switching off during running starting switching off during running regenerative braking plugging inching
typical applications heating, distribution wire drawing machines
compressors, lifts, mixing pumps, escalators, fans, conveyers, air-conditioning printing machines, wire drawing machines
E34303
AC3 utilisation category

This category covers asynchronous squirrel-cage motors that are switched off during running. This is the most common situation (85% of all cases). The control device establishes the starting current and interrupts the rated current at a voltage equal to approximately one-sixth of the rated value. Current interruption is carried out with no difficulty.
E34304
AC4 utilisation category

This category covers asynchronous squirrel-cage or slip-ring motors capable of operating under regenerative-braking or inching (jogging) conditions. The control device establishes the starting current and is capable of interrupting the starting current at a voltage that may be equal to that of the mains. Such difficult conditions require oversizing of the control and protective devices with respect to category AC3.

Subtransient phenomena related to direct on-line starting of asynchronous motors
Subtransient phenomena occurring when starting squirrel-cage motors: A squirrel-cage motor draws a high inrush current during starting. This current is related to the combined influence of two parameters: c the high inductance of the copper stator winding c the magnetisation of the iron core of the stator. In motor: current drawn by the motor at full rated load (in A rms) Id: current drawn by the motor during starting (in A ms) Id: subtransient current generated by the motor when it is energised. This very short subtransient phenomenon is expressed as k x Id x r (in A peak). td: motor starting time, from 0.5 to 30 seconds depending on the application. td: duration of the subtransient current, from 0.010 to 0.015 seconds when the motor is energised. Irm: magnetic setting of the circuit breakers.
E41251
Typical upper and lower limits for these subtransient currents: These values, not covered by standards, also depend on the type of motor technology used: c ordinary motors Id=2 Id to 2.1 Id (in A peak), c high-efficiency motors Id=2.2 Id to 2.5 Id (in A peak). c variation of Id as a function of Id:
Type of motor Ordinary motor High-efficiency motor Id (in A rms) 5,8 8,6 In motor 5,8 8,6 In motor Id (in A peak) Id = 2 Id = 11,5 In (A peak) to Id = 2,1 Id = 18 In (A peak) Id = 2,2 Id = 12,5 In (A peak) to Id = 2,5 Id = 21,5 In (A peak)
Example: Upon energisation, a high-efficiency motor with an Id of 7.5 In produces a subtransient current with a value between (depending on its characteritics): v minimum = 16.5 In (in A peak), v maximum = 18.8 In (in A peak).
168

Subtransient currents and protection settings: c as illustrated in the above table, subtransient currents can be very high. If they approach their upper limits, they can trip short-cicuit protection devices (nuisance tripping) c Merlin Gerin and Telemecanique circuit breakers are rated to provide optimum short-circuit protection for motor starters (type 2 coordination with thermal relay and contactor) c combinations made up of Merlin Gerin circuit breakers and Telemecanique contactors and thermal relays are designed to allow starting of motors generating high subtransient currents (up to 19 In motor peak) c the tripping of short-circuit protective devices when starting with a combination listed in the coordination tables means: v the limits of certain devices may be reached. v the use of the starter under type 2 coordination conditions on the given motor may lead to premature wear of one of the components of the combination. In event of such a problem, the ratings of the starter and the associated protective devices must be redesigned.
Using the coordination tables for Merlin Gerin circuit breaker and Telemecanique contactors:
c Ordinary motor: The starter components can be selected directly from the coordination tables, whatever the values of the starting current (Id from 5.8 to 8.6 In) and the subtransient current. c High-efficiency motors with Id i 7.5 In: The starter components can be selected directly from the coordination tables, whatever the values of the starting current and the subtransient current. c High-efficiency motors with Id > 7.5 In When Merlin Gerin circuit breakers are used for motor currents in the neighbourhood of their rated current, they are set to provide minimum shortcircuit protection at 19 In motor (A peak). There are two possibilities: c The subtransient starting current is known (indicated by the motor manufacturer) and is less than 19 In motor (A peak). In this case, the starter components can be selected directly from the coordination tables, whatever the value of the starting current (for Id > 7.5 In). Example: For a 110 kW 380/415 V 3-phase motor, the selected components are: NS250-MA220 / LC1-F225 / LR9-F5371. c The subtransient starting current is unknown or greater than 19 In motor (A peak). In this case, the value used for the motor power in the coordination tables should be increased by 20% to satisfy optimum starting and coordination conditions. Example: For a 110 kW 380/415 V 3-phase motor, the selected components are those for a motor power of 110+20%=132kW: NS400-MA320 / LC1-F265 / LR9-F5371.
Reversing starters and coordination:

The starter components can be selected using the tables for direct-on-line starting. Replace contactors LC1 by LC2.
Start-delta starting and coordination:

c The components should be sized according to the current flowing in the motor windings. c The mounting locations and connections of the various components of star-delta starters should be selected according to the type of coordination required and the protective devices implemented.
169

Start-delta starting and type 2 coordination
Contactors KM1, KM2 and KM3 are sized for the line current. The starter components are selected from the direct-on-line type 2 coordination tables. Example: Consider the following case: c 55 kW motor supplied at 415 V c star-delta starting c thermal protection built into the circuit breaker providing short-circuit protection c short-circuit current of 45 kA at the starter c type 2 coordination. The starter components are selected using the tables c circuit breaker: NS160H with STR22ME c starter: LC1-F115A to be replaced by LC3-F115.
170

Starting class and thermal relays
The data in the tables corresponds to normal motor starting times. The associated thermal relays are either class 10 or 10 A (tripping time < 10 s). c for motors with long starting times, the class 10 or 10 A thermal relays must be replaced with class 20 thermal relays as indicated in the correspondence table opposite (for type 1 and type 2 coordination) c long starting times requiring a class 30 relay: v apply a derating coefficient (K = 0.8) to the circuit breaker and the contactor. Example: E.g.NS100H MA 100 for 80 A maximum.LC1F115 for 92 A maximum; c these tables may also be used for standard thermal protection using current transformers. The required thermal relays are: v LR2-D1305 (0.63 to 1 A) for class 10 v LR2-D1505 (0.63 to 1 A) for class 20 with terminal block LA7-D1064. The current transformer ratings must be 5 VA per phase. The other characteristics are identical to those described below. c coordination tables with the multifunction protective relay LT6-P v three types of multifunction relays (see the corresponding catalogue for detailed characteristics) are available. They may be connected: - directly to the motor power supply line; - to the secondary winding of the current transformer.

Coordination tables between Merlin Gerin circuit breakers and Telemecanique Canalis busbar trunking
When chosing a circuit breaker to protect a busbar trunking system, it is necessary to take into account: c the usual rules concerning the circuit breaker current settings: Ib i Ir i Inc where Ib = maximum load current Ir = circuit breaker current setting Inc = current rating of the busbar trunking c the electrodynamic withstand of the busbar trunking: The peak current I limited by the circuit breaker must be less than the electrodynamic withstand capacity (or rated peak current) of the busbar trunking. Coordination tables The tables for coordinating Merlin Gerin Multi 9, Compact, Compact CM and Masterpact circuit breakers with respect to Telemecanique Canalis busbar trunking give directly, for the different types of trunking and circuit breakers, the maximum short-circuit current for which the trunking is protected.
Traditional circuit breaker selection method

The circuit breaker used to protect a distribution circuit is chosen according to two fundamental criteria: c the maximum load current Ib flowing in the supply circuit; c the prospective short-circuit current Isc at a point where the circuit breaker is to be installed. The circuit breaker is choosen such that: v In circuit breaker u Ib, v breaking capacity of the circuit breaker u Isc.
Installation example
Application for Compact NS range

CB1 = NS400H (Breaking capacity = 70 kA)
CB1
Ib = 360 A
Isc = 65 kA
CB2
CB2 = NS160H (Breaking capacity = 70 kA)
Ib = 140 A
Isc = 65 kA
Example Consider two 630 kVA/400 V transformer (Usc 4 %) supplying a main LV switchboard for which the prospective short-circuit current on the busbars is 44 kA. From the switchboard, a 30-metre long Canalis KVA63 transmission busbar trunking system (630A) supplies a Canalis KSA63 trunking system (630A) for distribution with high-density tap-offs. A tap-off on the KSA63 trunking supplies a Canalis KSA16 trunking system. The short-circuit level are respectively: c 44 kA downstream of circuit-breaker CB1 and at the upstream connection of the KVA63 trunking. c 33 kA at the junction between the KVA63 transmission trunking and the KSA63 trunking for high-density tap-offs.
What circuit breakers should be chosen for CB1 and CB2 to protect the installation against short-circuits ?

Coordination between circuit breakers and Telemecanique Canalis busbar trunking systems Cascading and reinforced discrimination
Circuit breaker selection taking coordination into account
The use of current-limiting circuit breakers makes it possible to implement coordination techniques. This improves circuit breaker performance in terms of breaking capacity and continuity of service. Coordination techniques are described and recognised by the following standards: c product standards BSEN 60947-2; c installation standards IEC 364,BS7671.
Cascading The use of a current-limiting circuit breaker upstream to reinforce the breaking capacity of a downstream circuit breaker.
Principle
Cascading

Cascading
CB1
CB1 = NS400H
Renforced break. cap. 70 kA CB2 Isc = 65 kA CB2 = NS160N (Breaking cap. = 35 kA)
Discrimination In the event of an electrical fault on one outgoing circuit, discrimination is the ability of the electrical installation to maintain the continuity of electrical power supplied to the other circuits not concerned by the fault. As a general rule, cascading and discrimination techniques are applied independently. Schneider has developed an exclusive system to conciliate cascading and discrimination. This system ensures discrimination up to the reinforced breaking capacity of the association of circuit breakers CB1 and CB2.

Coordination between Merlin Gerin circuit breakers and Telemecanique Canalis busbar trunking systems Cascading and reinforced discrimination (cont.)
Cascading, reinforced discrimination and reinforced protection of busbar trunking systems (BTS) This technique is the direct application of cascading and discrimination techniques to the protection of busbar trunking systems. For various upstream circuit breakers and upstream busbar trunking systems, the tables below give directly: c the level of short-circuit protection of the busbar trunking; c the downstream circuit breaker and associated busbar trunking; c the cascading breaking capacity of the downstream circuit breaker; c the level of reinforced discrimination of the upstream and downstream circuit breakers; c the level of reinforced protection of the downstream busbar trunking. Application to a Canalis distributed distribution system: c reinforcement of the breaking capacity of the NS 160N (CB2) up to 70 kA; Source
CB1 = NS400H
KSA40 (400 A)
CB2 = NS160N
KSA16 (160 A)
70 kA
c discrimination between CB1 and CB2 ensured up to 70 kA; c protection of Canalis KSA 16 busbar trunking up to 70 kA.
