The Masterpact NW range of circuit breakers and switch-disconnectors offer current ratings from 800 A to 6300 A. Five different performance levels are available: c N1: standard with total discrimination c H1: high performance with total discrimination c H2: a compromise between current limiting and discrimination c H3: high breaking capacity and discrimination, without current limiting c L1: high level of current limiting, with some discrimination.

These operations must be carried out in particular before using a Masterpact device for the first time.
A general check of the circuit breaker takes only a few minutes and avoids any risk of mistakes due to errors or negligence. A general check must be carried out: c prior to initial use c following an extended period during which the circuit breaker is not used. A check must be carried out with the entire switchboard de-energised. In switchboards with compartments, only those compartments that may be accessed by the operators must be de-energised.
Electrical tests
Insulation and dielectric-withstand tests must be carried out immediately after delivery of the switchboard. These tests are precisely defined by international standards and must be directed and carried out by a qualified expert. Prior to running the tests, it is absolutely necessary to: c disconnect all the electrical auxiliaries of the circuit breaker (MCH, MX, XF, MN, Res electrical remote reset) c remove the long-time rating plug on the 7.0 A, 5.0 P, 6.0 P , 7.0 P , 5.0 H, 6.0 H, 7.0 H control units. Removal of the rating plug disconnects the voltage measurement input.
Switchboard inspection
Check that the circuit breakers are installed in a clean environment, free of any installation scrap or items (tools, electrical wires, broken parts or shreds, metal objects, etc.).
Operation
Check the mechanical operation of the circuit breakers: c opening of contacts c closing of contacts.

Apply a voltage between 0.7 and 1.1 Un. v remove the front face v check the MX shunt release(s) v completely cut the supply voltage of the release to be checked. The circuit breaker should open. - If it does not open replace the tested release - If it opens, resupply the tested release with power and reclose the circuit breaker. Slowly reduce the voltage and check that the release opens the circuit breaker between 0.35 and 0.7 Un. If there is a problem, replace the tested release. v contact a Schneider service centre. v push in completely the reset pushbutton indicator.

Ambient temperature
Masterpact NW devices can operate under the following temperature conditions: c the electrical and mechanical characteristics are stipulated for an ambient temperature of -5 C to +70 C c circuit-breaker closing is guaranteed down to -35 C c Masterpact NW (without the control unit) can be stored in an ambient temperature of -40 C to +85 C c the control unit can be stored in an ambient temperature of -25 C to +85 C.
Test
E51261B
Masterpact NW devices can operate in the industrial environments defined by standard IEC 947 (pollution degree up to 4). It is nonetheless advised to check that the devices are installed in suitably cooled switchboards without excessive dust. Masterpact NW devices with corrosion protection have successfully passed the tests defined by the following standards for extreme atmospheric conditions: c IEC 68-2-42: atmospheres containing sulphur dioxide (SO2) c IEC 68-2-43: atmospheres containing hydrogen sulphide (H2S).
E51262B
Vibrations
Masterpact NW devices resist electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations. Tests are carried out in compliance with standard IEC 68-2-6 for the levels required by merchant-marine inspection organisations (Veritas, Lloyd's, etc.): c 2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude 1 mm c 13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g. Excessive vibration may cause tripping, breaks in connections or damage to mechanical parts.
