Miniature Circuit Breakers Design, Construction & Features

Minigard MCB protects wires and cables automatically against overload and short-circuits in domestic, commercial and industrial installations. In systems where proper earthing is provided the MCB provides additional protection by instantaneous interruption of the fault current, in case of faults, thereby eliminating the possibility of excessive touch voltages. With the advent of fuseless circuit protection, MCBs with many advantages directly replace the older conventional re-wirable fuses. The Siemens range of MCBs in India has a fault breaking capacity of 3kA with C characteristics in a wide range of current ratings to meet all your requirements. MCBs of 3kA rating would find direct applications in all domestic & commercial power distribution networks, where the existing fault level conditions are met.

Modular design:
Minigard MCBs are most compact with mounting depths up to 55mm and widths in multiples of 18mm and are part of the modular N system. They are hence totally compatible in modular width size to our range of Minigard RCCBs and can be mounted in Minigard/Betagard DBs.

Operating Mechanism

Louvers on the housing:

The gases produced during the short circuit arc breaking are forced out through the louvers provided on the Minigard MCB housing. These are so designed to prevent any ingress of dust and thus a dust free contact operation is obtained.

Non-weld contacts:
Minigard MCBs have contact tips made of special silver alloys ensuring higher life and maximum safety against contact welding. These contacts have low contact resistance resulting in reduced voltage drop and a very low watt loss leading to energy savings.

DIN Rail Mounting:

Minigard MCBs can be installed on DIN rails by a simple snap action. Similarly for removal a simple operation by a screw driver is enough. Time consuming operations like fixing screws at the time of installation or removing them at the time of replacement are not required.

Housing:
The housing of MCB is made from special thermosetting material. This housing and the other moulded components are fire-retardant, anti-tracking and non-hygroscopic. The MCB can, therefore, withstand a high temperature and is impact resistant.

Operation of MCBs:
The MCBs have a thermal release and an electromagnetic release. The thermal release trips on overloads whereas the electromagnetic release trips instantaneously (within 10 ms) on short-circuits. In both cases a safe and rapid interruption is assured.

Locking arrangement:
The lever locking arrangement of Minigard MCBs assures safety of the personnel working on unenergised circuits. It also prevents unauthorised switching of the MCB. This locking arrangement is achieved by simply knocking off the holes provided on the lever window and passing a thin wire through these holes and the lever.

Tripping in multipole MCBs:

Multi-pole MCBs are not only mechanically connected via the handles but also internally through the tripping devices. In case of the fault in any one of the phases will trip all the phases simultaneously.

Trip-free mechanism:
In the event of an over-current or short-circuit the MCB automatically interrupts all poles even if the MCB toggle is held in ON position. The handle always indicates the correct contact position.

MCB for DC application:

Minigard MCBs can be used in D.C. circuits having voltages upto 60V, DC (Single Pole), and upto 110V, DC (Double Pole). Suitability for use at higher voltages can be given upon enquiry.

Isolators - 5TE:
Switch disconnectors for manual operation, as a control switch is available for switching loads in two, three and four pole versions; current ratings are from 25A to 80A.

Standards:
The 3kA MCB is available in a comprehensive range from 0.5 to 63A in 1, 2, 3 & 4 pole versions. This range of MCBs conforms to the latest National and International standards - IS 8828 (1996), IEC 898 (1995), VDE 0641/6.78, CEE Publication 19, 2nd Edition and BS 3871. Clause 5.3.4 of IS 8828 (1996)/IEC 898 (1995) clearly states the 3kA MCB as a standard value of breaking capacity.

Back-up protection:
In most building electrification for domestic, commercial, offices, hotels etc. and other installations the fault level at the MCB terminals does not reach 3kA due to the transformer impedance and the impedance between transformer and MCBs. Most of the faults occur close to the consumer load, which means at a distance close to the MCB itself. These fault currents are considerably lower than the breaking capacity of the MCB. Therefore 3kA MCB itself will clear the fault without the line side fuse blowing up. If the prospective fault level exceeds the rated breaking capacity of the 3kA MCB, backup protection from a lineside fuse (according to IEC publication 269, VDE 0636, BS 88 & IS 9224) of up to 100A is required. In such case the MCB and the fuse will function together up to a fault level as high as 25 kA.

Category of Duty-M3. Breaking capacity 3000 Amps. Terminals suitable for 25mm2 cables. Space and time-saving fittings Silver alloy contacts for reliable weld-resistant switching

Discrimination:
The discrimination of an MCB is defined as the current upto which the MCB breaks on its own without the line side fuse blowing as well. Higher the rated current of the line side fuse higher the current upto which discrimination is obtained. Due to instantaneous tripping of Minigard MCBs, higher discrimination exists between MCBs when connected in series with upstream 3NA DIN type fuses.

C Characteristics:
C characteristics MCBs are used for protection of electrical circuits in general and are most widely used because of its suitability for practically all electrical circuits, cable and line protection. They are capable of supplying the majority of inductive and capacitive loads including most motor and fluorescent lighting loads. This characteristic allows applying loads having high peak currents without requiring the MCB to be oversized. In fact, thanks to this characteristic, it is possible to apply loads with peak currents up to 5 times/n (Rated current) and can hence be used to best advantage for handling higher inrush currents e.g. lamps, motors, etc. Under C characteristics, the magnetic operating limits (for short-circuit operations) are between 5 and 10 times the current rating (/n) of MCB. For example, the instantaneous mechanism of a 10A MCB will operate between 50A and 100A in an overcurrent situation. The thermal operating limits (for overloads operation) are between 13 and 45 percent of the current ratings of MCB.

Typical short circuit level calculation:

It is necessary to calculate the short circuit currents to choose the correct low-voltage switching device for the network conditions. In practice, it is mainly remote fault that have to be calculated in low voltage networks since these are fed exclusively from high power networks via transformers and the voltage at the transformer remains practically constant. Consider supply network as shown below. For various ratings of the supply transformer in the public supply systems upto 415V Ac (assuming worst conditions) the initial symmetrical short circuit current is calculated from the equation. The value of current determined has certain safety factors as this current is dampened considerably by contact resistance, current loops and the skin effect. Thus the actual value of the fault level will always be less than the calculated value. The examples shown below clearly indicates that the fault level at the consumer unit remains well below 3 kA. The clause 5.3.4 of IS8828 (1996) and IEC898 (1995) clearly state 3kA as a standard value of breaking capacity.

Residual Current Circuit Breakers Design, Construction & Features

General:
Electricity is usually taken for granted, but any imprudence could be fatal. Damaged insulation and faulty wiring cause a Leakage current to flow to earth. Due to leakage currents, everyday activities like ironing, using a geyser, washing machine, a hair-dryer, an air-conditioner or industrial machinery etc. could turn out to be potentially lethal. In addition, leakage currents of about 300-500 mA are capable of causing electrical sparks that could cause hazardous fire. Minigard RCCB is the safest device to detect and trip on leakages and thereby offer instant protection against electrocution and electrical fire. In addition, they prevent energy wastage and thus save on electricity costs. Dangers of Leakage Currents: 1. Direct / Indirect contact with a live parts 2. Electrical fires 3. Energy wastage

The solution:
30mA: Offers the highest level of protection to human and animal life against direct and indirect contact with live parts. Recommended for residences, commercial and industrial premises, power sockets, schools, hotels etc, wet areas and during temporary construction installation. Siemens RCCBs trip between 10 to 30 ms, which is nearly 10 times faster than IEC requirements of 200 ms. 100mA: Normally provides protection only against indirect contact and hence protects both the entire wiring system and components e.g. in buildings, laboratories, industry, workshops etc. for faults caused through misuse, accidental damage or appliance failure. 300mA: Used where only fire protection is required and risk of electric shock is small. It is normal to use 300mA as incomer and subsequent 30mA/100mA protective RCCBs in the downstream circuit. Types of Residual Current Protection Devices 1. Type AC 2. Type A 3. Type B

Residual Current Circuit Breakers Design, Construction & Features

Type AC: Residual current protective devices of type AC are suitable only for detecting sinusoidal AC residual current (see circuits 1 to 3 in Table 1). This device type to DIN VDE 0100-530 is not authorized in Germany for residual current protection, and cannot carry the VDE mark of conformity. Type A: In addition to sinusoidal AC residual currents, residual current protective devices of type A also measure pulsating DC residual currents. This device type is the most commonly used pulse currentsensitive residual current operated circuit-breaker. It also covers the residual current waveforms which can occur in power supply units (e.g. ECG, washing machines) in the case of single-phase loads with electronic components. This type of residual current protective device is suitable for electronic resources with input current circuits nos. 1 to 6 in Table 1. There are further sub types in Type A RCCB s. They are as follows Type S, Selective Type K, Super Resistant Type S Selective In order to achieve selective tripping in the case of seriesconnected residual current protective devices in the event of a fault scenario, both the rated residual current In and the tripping time of the devices must be staggered. The different permissible tripping times of the standard and selective residual current protective devices can be taken from Figure 1. The suitable staggering of the rated residual currents can also be seen in Figure below. Selective residual current protective devices of type also have a very high surge withstand capability of 5 kA (8/20 s current waveform). They are identified by the symbol .

Figure 2: Surge current wave 8/20 s

Type

, Short Time- Delayed

As far as the device specification is concerned, there are only two device versions: instantaneous and selective. The K versions must therefore fulfill the maximum permissible tripping times for instantaneous devices. Residual current protective devices of type are slightly delayed (approx. 10 ms for high residual currents). The tripping times for the K versions are therefore somewhat longer as those for the standard devices, for example for residual currents > 5 In: approx. 30 ms instead of around 10 to 15 ms. They therefore conform to the maximum permissible tripping times (40 ms) for the standard versions (see Figure 2). They are identified by the symbol . The layout of the tripping circuit reduces the electrical interference of transient residual currents. This results in an increased surge withstand strength of 3 kA (8/20 s current waveform, see Figure below) compared to the standard version (1 kA). In addition, these RCCB s are insensitive to surge leakage currents, such as those which occur in switched-mode power supplies or filters when capacitors are switched on. Type B: In addition to detecting residual current waveforms of type A, residual current protective devices of type B are used to measure smooth DC residual currents. Residual current operated circuit breakers of this type are suitable for use in three-phase AC systems with 50/60 Hz also upstream of input circuits No. 7 to 10 in Table 1 and therefore for all the circuits shown.

Breaking capacity:
Every RCCB requires suitable rating backup fuse in order to achieve required breaking capacity. When used along with a MCB 10kA, no additional back-up fuse is required and are suitable for a network having a prospective short circuit current of 10 kA. (e.g. 5SX4 MCBs)

Protection against contact welding:
The contacts are made of special silver alloys with a large safety margin. This avoids the danger of Minigard RCCBs getting welded under heavy fault currents. Contacts are also free from Noxious Nickel & Cadmium. Auxiliary Contacts for remotely indicating ON/OFF status of RCCB

Protection against dangerous leakage currents acc. to DIN VDE 0100 Part 410 Application:
Protection against indirect contact (indirect personnel protection) as leakage protection through tripping in the event of higher touch voltages due to short-circuits to frame on equipment Using residual current protective devices with In 30mA also largely protects against direct contact (direct personnel protection) - as additional protection through tripping as soon as live parts are touched.

False tripping avoided:

Travelling surges caused by thunderstorms, lightning, motor switching etc. can cause undesirable tripping of RCCBs. Minigard RCCBs have special filters and pass exacting standards to prevent this occurring.

Modular N-system:
Being extremely compact with space-saving dimensions, they are fully compatible in modular size to our Minigard MCBs and DBs. Provides IP42 degree of protection within our Double Door DB design.

Protective action:
While devices for rated residual current In > 30 mA provide protection again indirect contact, using devices with In 30 mA also offers the best possible additional protection against the accidental direct contact of live parts. The diagram above shows a summary of the physiological reactions of the human body to power flows in the effective current ranges. The dangerous values are the current/time values in range 4 as they can trigger ventricular fibrillations, which can cause death. It also shows the tripping range of the residual current protection device with rated residual current 10mA and 30mA. The tripping time lies in the middle between 10 ms and 30 ms. The permissible tripping time of max. 0.3 s (300 ms) acc. to VDE 0664 or EN 61008 or IEC 61008 is not reached.

Fixed trip setting:

Precision tripping sensitivity (mA) is factory-set at Germany; thus hazardous tampering is prevented.

Rugged service life:

After tests comprising 10,000 electrical and mechanical switching cycles at rated current with no negative results, Siemens RCCBs have been found fully usable. Our RCCBs provide reliability even at 95% humidity and at ambient temperature of 45C. They are also vibration-proof and can be mounted on machinery or mobile vehicles.

Standards:
Meets the highest technical standards of IEC/EN 61008, VDE 0664 part 10, IEC/EN 61543, VDE 0664 part 30 and IS 12640.

Quality & testing:

Precision and perfection are the only ways of assuring quality. Siemens RCCBs passes through more than 40 stringent automated tests, before it is considered reliable.

Other key features:

Mounting is possible in any position and on temporary structures Finger-touch proof terminals for operator safety Podzidrive screws for use with any screwdriver (Star/Split) Special tunnel terminals ensure perfect cable grip.

Figure 4: Examples of accidental direct contact

Figure 5: Additional protection against direct contact with live parts

Residual current protective devices with rated residual current 10 or 30 mA also offer reliable protection when a current flows through a person after accidental direct contact with live parts. This protective action is not matched by any other comparable protective measure in the event of indirect contact. However, when using residual current protective devices, a suitably grounded PE conductor must also be fitted to the devices and equipment to be protected. This means that it is only possible for a person to be subjected to a flow of current if two faults occur or in the event of accidental contact with live parts. If live parts are directly touched, two resistors determine the level of the current - the internal resistance of the person RM and the contact resistance of the location RSt. For a proper assessment of the accident risk, the worst case scenario must be assumed, which is that the contact resistance of the location is virtually zero. The resistance of the human body depends on the current path. Measurements have shown that, e.g. that a current path of hand to hand or hand to foot has a resistance of approx. 1 000 . Taking into account a fault voltage of 230 V AC, this produces a current of 230 mA for the current path hand to hand.

protective device, whereby a separate residual current protective device is required for each piece of current-using equipment.

Grounding resistances:
When using residual current protective devices in a TT system, the maximum grounding resistances (as shown in the following table) must be complied with, depending on the rated residual current and the max. permissible touch voltage.

Fire protection acc. to HD 384.4.482, DIN VDE 0100-482 Application:

When using residual current protective devices with In 300 mA protection against the occurrence of fires started electrically due to isolation faults

Protective action:
HD 384.4.482, DIN VDE 0100-482 requires measures to be taken to prevent fires in Locations exposed to fire hazards that may result from isolation faults.

Usage:
Residual current protective devices can be used in all three system configurations (IEC 364-4-41, HD 384.4.41, DIN VDE 0100-410). In the IT system, tripping is not required for the first fault as this situation cannot produce any dangerous touch voltages. It is essential that an insulation monitoring device is fitted so that the first fault is indicated by an acoustic or visual signal and the fault can be eliminated as quickly as possible. Tripping is not requested until the 2nd fault. Depending on the grounding situation, the tripping conditions of the TN or TT system must be complied with. A residual current protective device is also a suitable circuit

Figure 6:

Residual Current Circuit Breakers Design, Construction & Features

Electrical equipment must be selected and set up taking external influences into account so that their temperature rise during normal operation, and the foreseeable temperature rise, cannot cause a fire in the event of a fault. This is achieved by ensuring the equipment is suitably designed or by implementing additional safety measures during installation. For this reason, additional residual current protective devices with a rated residual current of max. 300 mA is required for TN and TT systems used in Locations exposed to fire hazards. Where resistance-related faults may cause a fire (e.g. when using ceiling heating with panel heating elements), the rated residual current must not exceed max. 30 mA. The additional protection against fires provided by separate residual current protective devices should not just be restricted to locations exposed to fire hazards, rather it should be universally implemented. (Ref: Figure 6) This generates a voltage in the secondary winding, which then uses the release and the breaker mechanism to switch off the electrical circuit afflicted with the isolation fault. This tripping principle operates independently of the system voltage or an auxiliary power supply. This is also a condition for the high protection level, offered by residual current protective devices acc. to IEC/EN 61008 (VDE 0664). Only this way can it be ensured that the full protective action of the residual current protective device is maintained even in the event of a system fault, e.g. failure of an outer conductor or an interruption in the neutral conductor.

Test button:
You can test whether the residual current protective device is ready to run by simply pressing a test button, with which every residual current protective device is equipped. Pressing the test button generates an artificial residual current - the residual current protective device must trip. We recommend testing the functionality when commissioning the system and then at regular intervals approx. every six months. Furthermore, it is also essential to ensure compliance with the test intervals specified in the pertinent rules and regulations (e.g. accident prevention regulations). The minimum working voltage for operation of the test equipment normally is 100 V AC (series 5SM).

Setup and method of operation of residual current protective devices:

The setup of residual current protective devices is largely determined by 3 function groups: 1) Summation current transformers for fault-current detection 2) Releases to convert the electrical measured quantities into a mechanical tripping operation 3) Breaker mechanism with contacts The summation current transformer covers all conductors required to conduct the current, i.e. also the neutral conductor where applicable. In a fault-free system, the magnetizing effects of the conductors through which current is flowing cancel each other out for the summation current transformer as, in accordance with Kirchhoffs current law, the sum of all currents is zero. There is no residual magnetic field left that could induce a voltage in the secondary winding. However, by contrast, if a residual current is flowing due to an insulation fault, this destroys the equilibrium and a residual magnetic field is left in the core of the converter.

Distribution Networks:
Minigard RCCBs can be used in all 3 distribution network types viz. TN, TT & an IT network system. 4 pole RCCBs can also be used in 3 pole supply networks by adhering to installation guidelines.

3-pole connection:
4-pole residual current protective devices can also be operated in 3-pole systems. In this case, connection must be at terminals 1, 3 and 5 and 2, 4 and 6. The function of the test equipment is only ensured if a jumper is fitted between terminals 3 and N. (Ref: Figure 7)
