Positive contact indication

All EasyPact circuit breakers are suitable for isolation as defined in IEC standard 60947-2: b the isolation position corresponds to the O (OFF) position b the operating handle cannot indicate the O (OFF) position (green colour visible) unless the contacts are effectively open b padlocks may not be installed unless the contacts are open b installation of a rotary handle does not alter the reliability of the position-indication system. The isolation function is certified by tests guaranteeing: b the mechanical reliability of the position indication system b the absence of leakage currents b overvoltage withstand capacity between upstream and downstream connections.

Environmental protection
EasyPact circuit breakers take into account important concerns for environmental protection. Most components are recyclable and the parts are marked as specified in applicable standards.

Safety clearances and minimum distances

EasyPact
When installing a circuit breaker, minimum distances (safety clearances) must be maintained between the device and panels, bars and other protection devices installed nearby. These distances, which depend on the ultimate breaking capacity, are defined by tests carried out in accordance with standard IEC 60947-2. If installation conformity is not checked by type tests, it is also necessary to: b use insulated bars for circuit-breaker connections b block off the busbars using insulating screens. For EasyPact breaker, terminal shields, inter-phase barriers or an insulation isolator are recommended and may be mandatory depending on the utilisation voltage and the type of installation.

Current-limiting curves

The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is its aptitude to limit short-circuit currents.
DB106049

The exceptional limiting capacity of the EasyPact range greatly reduces the forces created by fault currents in devices. The result is a major increase in breaking performance. The Ics value, defined by IEC standard 60947-2, is guaranteed by tests comprising the following operations: b break three times consecutively a fault current equal from 25% to 100% of Icu b check that the device continues to function normally: v it conducts the rated current without abnormal temperature rises v protection functions perform within the limits specified by the standard v suitability for isolation is not impaired.

Longer service life of electrical installations

Current-limiting circuit breakers greatly reduce the negative effects of short-circuits on installations. Thermal effects Less temperature rise in conductors, therefore longer service life for cables. Mechanical effects Reduced electrodynamic forces, therefore less risk of electrical contacts or busbars being deformed or broken. Electromagnetic effects Less disturbances for measuring devices located near electrical circuits.

Economy by means of cascading

Cascading is a technique directly derived from current limiting. Circuit breakers with breaking capacities less than the prospective short-circuit current may be installed downstream of a limiting circuit breaker. The breaking capacity is reinforced by the limiting capacity of the upstream device. It follows that substantial savings can be made on downstream equipment and enclosures.

Current-limiting curves
The current-limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is expressed by two curves which are a function of the prospective short-circuit current (the current which would flow if no protection devices were installed): b the actual peak current (limited current), b thermal stress (A2s), i.e. the energy dissipated by the short-circuit in a conductor with a resistance of 1 .

Cascading

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: b IEC 60947-2 (construction) b NF C 15-100, 434.3.1 (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 determine cascading possibilities between upstream and downstream circuit breakers.
DB106051

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.

Cascading tables
Merlin Gerin cascading tables are: b 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) b verified experimentally in accordance with IEC standard 60947-2. For distribution systems with 220/240 V, 380/415 V and 440 V between phases, the tables of the following pages indicate cascading possibilities between upstream Compact/EasyPact and downstream Multi 9 and EasyPact circuit breakers.

Motor protection

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: b the application (type of machine driven, operating safety, starting frequency, etc.) b the level of service continuity imposed by the load or the application b the applicable standards to ensure protection of life and property. The necessary electrical functions are of very different natures: b short circuit protection b overload protection dedicated for motor b control (generally with high endurance levels) b isolation.

DB106108

DB106107

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: b gradual acceleration b speed control. Overload protection: Protect the starter and the cables against minor overcurrents (< 10 In). Additional specific protection: b limitative fault protection (while the motor is running) b preventive fault protection (monitoring of motor insulation with motor off). Overloads (I < 10 In) An overload may be caused by: b an electrical problem, for instance on the mains (loss of a phase, voltage outside tolerances, etc.) b 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. Impedance 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: b integrated in the short-circuit protective device b 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: b a residual current device (RCD) b an insulation monitoring device (IMD).

Capacitor protection

Thanks to its small size and short-circuit capacity, EasyPact circuit breaker is the most compact solution for any capacitor protection (eg: for each step of capacitor bank from 7.5 kVAR to 50 kVAR).
EZ101PR-25

EasyPact circuit breaker is suitable for capacitor protection following the rules below:
b Inc = Nominal current from the capacitor
Qc Inc = ----------U 3 Inc = Nominal Current Capacitor (A) Qc = Reactive power (kVAR) U = Nominal Voltage (V)

b Inb = Nominal current for the circuit breaker protection (EZC) v Inb = 1.36 x Inc for standard equipment v Inb = 1.5 x Inc for overrated type equipment v Inb = 1.19 x Inc for detuned type equipment: 3.8 tuning v Inb = 1.31 x Inc for detuned type equipment: 4.3 tuning v Inb = 1.12 x Inc for detuned type equipment: 2.7 tuning v the short-circuit (magnetic) protection-setting thresholds must enable passage of the energising transients: 10 x Inc for standard, overrated and detuned type equipment. b short-circuit level is given by the installation.
