Trip units
1 ■ Overview
Trip units, 3-pole version Circuit breakers with characteristic
Trip units are integrated in the circuit breakers. "L":
Tripping characteristics L I
Circuit breakers are available with four types of tripping charac-

teristics. They are designated with the letters: t
"L" - lines
For protection of lines with low starting currents
3VT1 circuit breakers with characteristic "L" have a pre-set and
fixed rated current value. The circuit breakers feature In values
in a standardized current range from 40 A to 160 A (see "Ranges
of trip units and their possible settings"). Short-circuit trip units
are fixed at 4 x In.
"D" - distribution
NSO0_00502
For protection of lines and transformers
3VT1 circuit breakers with characteristic "D" have the option of
setting to a reduced current in a range of approximately 0.75 ... I
1 In. The circuit breakers feature In values in a standardized cur-
rent range from 16 A to 160 A (see "Ranges of trip units and their "M":
possible settings"). The short-circuit trip unit is adjustable. L I
Setting values are shown in the table on page 1/17.
Ir
"M" - motor t
For motor protection
3VT1 circuit breakers with characteristic "M" have the option of
setting a reduced current in a range of approximately
0.75 ... 1 In. The circuit breakers feature In values in a standar-
dized series of currents from 16 A to 100 A (see "Ranges of trip
units and their possible setting"). The short-circuit trip unit is
fixed at the value of 10 x In.
See page 1/20.
NSO0_00048
"N" - short-circuit trip unit only

3VT1 circuit breakers with characteristic "N" have a short circuit
trip unit only. They feature In values in a standardized series of
I
currents ranging from 32 A to 160 A. The short-circuit trip unit is
adjustable. "D":
The values are shown in the table on page 1/17.
L I
Article Numbers
Ir
The article number of a circuit breaker depends on the rated cur- t
rent and on the tripping characteristics.
For example: Motor protection with In = 32 A.
The article number is: 3VT1703-3DM36-0AA0.
Setting of tripping characteristics
• Time-dependent trip unit (thermal) L (for circuit breakers
with characteristics "D" and "M"). The time-dependent trip unit
for overload protection Ir (instantaneous) is adjusted in a con- Ii
tinuous range using the Ir adjustment dial on the overload trip
NSO0_00500
unit. The Ir adjustment range is 0.75 ... 1 In.

• Time-independent trip unit (short-circuit trip unit) I
(for circuit breakers with characteristics "D" and "N"). With an I
time-independent instantaneous trip unit (value of the short "N":
circuit current Ii), adjustment is possible within a continuous
range. L I
All values are shown in the table on page 1/17.

Trip units
Trip units, 4-pole version Circuit breakers with characteristic 1
Trip units are integrated into the 3VT1 circuit breakers. "L"
It is not possible to deinstall or exchange the trip units. L I
4-pole circuit breakers are manufactured in the following
versions:
t
• 3-pole +N (three poles protected, N-pole unprotected)
• 4-pole (all four poles protected)
The permissible load of the N-pole is 100% In.
Tripping characteristics
The circuit breakers are delivered with three types of tripping
characteristics, designated by the following letters:
"L" - lines
For protection of lines with low starting currents
3VT1 circuit breakers with characteristic "L" have a fixed value
NSO0_00502
of rated current I (without In control). The circuit breakers feature
In values of standard current range 40 ... 160 A, see "Ranges of
trip units and their possible setting". The short-circuit trip unit has I
a fixed setting to 4 x In.
"D"
"D" - distribution L I
For protection of lines and transformers
3VT1 circuit breakers with characteristic "D" can be set to a re- Ir
t
duced current in the range of approx. 0.75 ... 1 In.
The circuit breakers feature In values within a standard current
range of 16 ... 160 A.
Setting values are shown in the table on page 1/17.
"N" - short-circuit
For protection against short circuits only
3VT1 circuit breakers with characteristic "N" have a short circuit
Ii
trip unit only. They feature circuit breaker values within a stan-
dard current range of 32 ... 160 A. The short circuit trip unit is ad-
NSO0_00500
justable.
The values are shown in the table on page 1/17.
Article Numbers I
The article number of a circuit breaker depends on the rated cur- "N"
rent and on the tripping characteristics.
L I
For example: Protection of a circuit with In = 40 A.
The article number is 3VT1704-2EC46-0AA0.
t
Setting of tripping characteristics
• Time-dependent trip unit (thermal) L
(for circuit breakers with characteristics "D" and "M"). The time-
dependent trip unit for overload protection Ir (instantaneous),
is adjusted in a continuous range using the Ir adjustment dial
on the overload trip unit. The Ir adjustment range is 0.75 ... 1 In.
• Time-independent instantaneous trip unit (short-circuit
trip unit) I Ii
(for circuit breakers with characteristics "D" and "N"). With a
time-independent instantaneous trip unit (value of the short
NSO0_00216
circuit current Ii), adjustment is possible within a continuous

range.
All values are shown in the table on page 1/17. I

the operating mechanism allows simple mounting on the circuit
breaker. Mounting can be done after having removed the acces-
sory compartment cover. An attached drive can be sealed (with
sealing wire). The drive and its accessories are ordered separa-
tely to match the requirements (see page 1/7).
• The rotary operating mechanism is mounted directly on the
circuit breaker or switch disconnector.
• The coupling driver is fixed to the switchgear cabinet door and
provides for degree of protection IP40 or IP66.
• The knob is mounted onto the rotary operating mechanism or
onto the coupling driver.
• The extension shaft is supplied in two versions, standard
(length 350 mm - can be shortened) and telescopic (adjus-
table length 199 ... 352 mm). It is fitted onto the rotary opera-
ting mechanism.
The rotary operating mechanism makes it possible to actuate the
circuit breaker:

Enhanced safety for operator
• The rotary operating mechanism and knob allow operators to
lock the circuit breaker into the "switched off manually" posi-
tion. The rotary operating mechanism and lever can be locked
with up to three padlocks with a shaft diameter up to 4 mm.
• Every coupling driver prevents the switchgear cabinet door
from opening when the circuit breaker is switched on or if it
was tripped. By means of the coupling driver it is possible to
switch off this locking and to open the door.
Locking of the switchgear cabinet door is also possible in the
OFF mode of the circuit breaker. It is necessary to activate the
locking by means of the knob on the coupling drive and to lock
the hand drive arm.
• Two circuit breakers with rotary operating mechanism can also
be provided with reciprocal mechanical interlocking or me-
chanical parallel switching (see page 1/27).
