Source-changeover systems p. xx (see also the "Source-changeover system" catalogue)

E32454
N R To ensure a continuous supply of power, some electrical installations are

connected to two power sources:
c a normal source
c a replacement source on hand to supply the installation when the normal source
is not available.
A mechanical and/or electrical interlocking system between two Interpact, Compact
or Masterpact devices avoids all risk of parallel connection of the sources during
switching.
A source-changeover system can be:
c manual with mechanical interlocking between the devices
c remote controlled when an electrical interlocking function in added
c automatic when a controller is added to manage switching from one source to the
other on the basis of external parameters.
UL 489 applications
Compact NS circuit breakers also meet the requirements of applications governed
by standard UL 489 (see the corresponding catalogue).

Compact NS circuit breakers have successfully passed the tests prescribed by the
following standards for extreme atmospheric conditions:
c IEC 68-2-1 - dry cold (-55° C)
c IEC 68-2-2 - dry heat (+85° C)
c IEC 68-2-30 - damp heat (95% relative humidity at 55°C)
c IEC 68-2-52 - salt mist (severity level 2).
Environmental protection
Compact NS circuit breakers take into account important concerns for
environmental protection. Most components are recyclable and the parts of
Compact NS630b to NS3200 circuit breakers are marked as specified in applicable
standards.
Ambient temperature
c Compact NS circuit breakers may be used between -25° C and +70° C.
For temperatures higher than 40° C (65° C for circuit breakers used to protect
motor feeders), devices must be derated as indicated in the documentation.
c Circuit-breakers should be put into service under normal ambient operating-
temperature conditions. Exceptionally, the circuit breaker may be put into service
when the ambient temperature is between -35° C and -25° C.
c The permissible storage-temperature range for Compact NS circuit breakers in
the original packing is -50° C (1) to +85° C.

Positive contact indication

All Compact NS circuit breakers are suitable for isolation as defined in IEC
standard 60947-2:
c the isolation position corresponds to the O (OFF) position
c the operating handle cannot indicate the “OFF” position unless the contacts are
effectively open
c padlocks may not be installed unless the contacts are open.
Installation of a rotary handle or a motor mechanism does not alter the reliability
of the position-indication system.
The isolation function is certified by tests guaranteeing:
c the mechanical reliability of the position indication system
c the absence of leakage currents
c overvoltage withstand capacity between upstream and downstream connections.
E18569
Installation in class II switchboards

All Compact NS circuit breakers are class II front face devices. They may be
installed through the door of class II switchboards (as per IEC standard 60664),
without downgrading switchboard insulation. Installation requires no special
operations, even when the circuit breaker is equipped with a rotary handle or a
motor mechanism.
Degree of protection

Trip units do not have a predefined rating. The tripping threshold depends on the
circuit breaker rating and the LT (long time) current setting.
For example, for an STR23SE trip unit set to the maximum value, the tripping
threshold is:
v 250 A, when installed on a Compact NS400 250 A

Answer.
In x Io x Ir = 400 x 0.5 x 0.8 = 160 A.
The identical trip unit, with identical settings but
installed on a Compact NS630 circuit breaker, will
have an overload-protection threshold of:
630 x 0.5 x 0.8 = 250 A.

LEDs indicate the phase for which the current is displayed.
Ammeter display limits:
c minimum current u 0.2 x In. Lower currents are not displayed
c maximum current i 10 x In.
Zone selective interlocking (ZSI)

A number of circuit breakers are interconnected one after another by a pilot wire.
In the event of a short-time or earth fault:
c if a given STR53UE trip unit detects the fault, it informs the upstream circuit
breaker, which applies the set time delay
c if the STR53UE trip unit does not detect the fault, the upstream circuit breaker
trips after its shortest time delay.
In this manner, the fault is cleared rapidly by the nearest circuit breaker.
The thermal stresses on the circuits are minimised and time discrimination is
maintained throughout the installation.
The STR53UE trip unit can handle only the downstream end of a zone selective
interlocking function. Consequently, the ZSI option cannot be implemented
between two Compact NS circuit breakers.
Opto-electronic outputs
Using opto-transistors, these outputs ensure total isolation between the internal
circuits of the trip unit and the circuits wired by the user.
Communications option (COM)

This option transmits data to Digipact distribution monitoring and control modules.
Transmitted data:
c settings
c phase and neutral currents (rms values)
c highest current of the three phases
c overload-condition alarm
c cause of tripping (overload, short-circuit, etc.).

External sensor for earth-fault protection

The sensor is used with 3P circuit breakers and the Micrologic 6.0 A control unit.
It is installed on the neutral conductor for residual type earth-fault protection.
The rating of the sensor (CT) must be compatible with the rating of the circuit
breaker:

Rectangular sensor for earth-leakage protection
The sensor is installed around the busbars (phases + neutral) to detect the zero-
056467
phase sequence current required for the earth-leakage protection.

Rectangular sensors are available in two sizes.

Overload LED (%Ir)

The LED flashes when the current is greater than the long-time threshold Ir.
Fault indications
LEDs indicate the type of fault that caused tripping:
c overload (long-time protection) or abnormal component temperature (> Ir)
c short-circuit (short-time protection) or instantaneous (> Isd)
c phase imbalance (LED on the right)
c microprocessor malfunction:
v all four (% Ir), (> Ir), (> Isd) and (phase imbalance) LEDs ON.
Battery powered. Spare batteries are supplied in an adapter box. When a fault
occurs, the LED indicating the type of fault goes OFF after approximately ten
minutes to conserve battery power. The information is however stored in memory
and the LED can be turned back ON by pressing the battery/LED test pushbutton.
The LED automatically goes OFF and the memory is cleared when the circuit
breaker is reset.
Test
The test pushbutton tests the battery and the LEDs.
Self monitoring
The circuit breaker trips if a microprocessor fault or an abnormal temperature is
detected.

Compact circuit breaker + Vigirex relay combination

Vigirex relays may be used to add external earth-fault protection to Compact NS circuit breakers.
The circuit breakers must be equipped with an MN or MX voltage release. Vigirex relays are very
useful when special time-delay or tripping-threshold values are required, or when there are major
installation constraints (circuit breaker already installed and connected, limited space available, etc.).
Vigirex-relay characteristics:
c sensitivity adjustable from 30 mA to 250 mA and eight time-delay settings (0 to 1 second)
c closed toroids (30 to 300 mm in diameter) or split toroids (46 to 110 mm in diameter).
Options:
c trip alarm by a fail-safe contact
c LED and pre-alarm contact (threshold = 0.5 x I∆n)
c 400 Hz distribution systems, etc.
Compliance with standards:
c IEC 60947-2, appendix B
c French decree dated 14 November 1988
c IEC 60255-4 and IEC 60801-2 to 5 covering protection against nuisance tripping due to transient
overvoltages, lightning strikes, switching of devices on the distribution system, electrostatic
discharges, radiofrequency interference.
c IEC 60755, class A, immunity to DC components up to 6 mA
c VDE 664, operation down to -25° C.

A manual source-changeover system can be installed on two to three manually-
controlled circuit breakers or switch-disconnectors. Interlocking is mechanical.
Interlocks prevent connection to both sources at the same time, even momentarily.

Remote-controlled source-changeover systems

This is the most commonly employed system. No human intervention is required.
Switching from the normal to the replacement source is controlled electrically.
A remote-controlled source-changeover system is made up of two or three circuit
breakers or switch-disconnectors linked by electrical interlocking system (different
configurations possible). Device operation is backed up by a mechanical
interlocking fixture that prevents parallel connection if the electrical system
malfunctions or if an incorrect manual operation is attempted.
Automatic source-changeover systems

An automatic controller may be added to the remote-controlled source-changeover
system for automatic source control according to programmable operating modes.
This solution ensures optimum energy management:
c switching to a replacement source depending on external requirements
Service sector c management of power sources
c hospital operating rooms. c regulation
c safety systems for tall buildings. c emergency source replacement, etc.
c computer rooms (banks, insurance companies, etc.).
c lighting systems in shopping centres.
The automatic controller may be fitted with an option for communication with a
supervisor.

Remote tripping
MX or MN voltage releases are used to trip the circuit breaker.
This release trips the circuit breaker when the control voltage drops below a
tripping threshold:
c circuit breaker closing is possible only if the voltage exceeds 0.85 times the rated
voltage.
Circuit breaker tripping by an MN release meets the requirements of standard
IEC 60947-2.
MX or MN voltage release

Indication contacts
Common-point changeover contacts are used to remote circuit-breaker status
information and can thus be used for indications, electrical locking, relaying, etc.
They comply with the IEC 60947-5 international recommendation.
Functions
c OF (open/closed) - indicates the position of the circuit breaker contacts
v an overload
v a short-circuit
v an earth fault
Changeover contacts v operation of a voltage release
v operation of the “push to trip” button
v disconnection when the device is ON.
All the auxiliary contacts opposite are also available
c SDE (fault indication) - indicates that the circuit breaker has tripped due to:
in “low-level” versions capable of switching very low
v an overload
loads (e.g. for the control of PLCs or electronic
v a short-circuit
circuits).
v an earth fault.
c SDV (Earth fault indication) - indicates that the circuit breaker has tripped due to
an earth fault.
c CAM (early-make or early-break function) - indicates the position of the rotary
handle. Used in particular for advanced opening of safety trip devices (early break)
or to energise a control device prior to circuit-breaker closing (early make).
c CE / CD (connected/disconnected position) - microswitch type carriage switches
for withdrawable circuit breakers
Installation
c OF, SD, SDE and SDV functions - a single type of contact provides all these
different indication functions, depending on the position where it is inserted in the
device. The contacts clip into slots behind the front cover of the circuit breaker (or
the Vigi module for the SDV function).
The SDE function on a circuit breaker equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit
requires the SDE actuator.
c CAM function - the contact fits into the rotary-handle unit (direct or extended).
c CE / CD (connected/disconnected) function - two parts must be fitted on the fixed
and moving parts of the chassis.

"Device" communications module
circuit breakers and switch-disconnectors.
For fixed devices, the COM option is made up of a communication module installed
in the device and supplied with its set of sensors (OF, SDE ,PF and CH contacts)
056401
and its kit for connection to the remote-operating mechanism.

For withdrawable devices, it is made up of:
c a communication module installed in the device and supplied with its set of
sensors (OF, SDE, PF and CH contacts) and its kit for connection to the remote-
operating mechanism
c a communication module installed on the chassis and supplied with its set of
sensors (CE, CD and CT contacts) and its kit for connection to the "device"
communication module.
Each installed device has an address that is assigned via the keypad of the control
unit (ModBus) or remotely (Batibus). The address of a withdrawable device is
assigned to the chassis which keeps the same address if the device is replaced.
Batibus "chassis" communication module Status indication by the COM option is independent of the device indication
contacts. These contacts remain available for conventional uses.
"Device" communication module
This module is independent of the control unit. Installed in the device, behind the
control unit, it receives and transmits information on the communication network.
An infra-red link transmits data between the control unit and the communication
module.
The module connects to:
c a set of sensors that detect device status
c a set of actuators for device control.
"Chassis" communication module
Installed on the chassis, this module makes it possible to address the chassis and
to maintain the address when the circuit breaker is in the disconnected position.
The module connects to a set of sensors that detect and communicate the position
(connected, disconnected, test) of the device on the chassis.
Remote-operating mechanism
A bus link is used to transmit remote ON/OFF orders to the circuit breaker.
The remote-tripping function (MX or MN) is independent of the communication
option.

Communication
The COM communication option is required for integration of the circuit breaker or
switch-disconnector in a supervision system.
Compact NS1600b to 3200 uses the Digipact or ModBus communications protocol
for full compatibility with the Digipact and SMS Powerlogic electrical-installation
management systems.
An external gateway is available for communication on other networks:
c Profibus
c Ethernet, etc.
COM communication option

The COM communication option is compatible with all Compact NS1600b to 3200
"device" communications module circuit breakers and switch-disconnectors.
It is made up of a communication module installed in the device and supplied with
its set of sensors (OF, SDE ,PF and CH contacts).
Each installed device has an address that is assigned via the keypad of the control
unit (ModBus) or remotely (Batibus).
Status indication by the COM option is independent of the device indication
contacts. These contacts remain available for conventional uses.
"Device" communication module
This module is independent of the control unit. Installed in the device, behind the
control unit, it receives and transmits information on the communication network.
An infra-red link transmits data between the control unit and the communication
module.
The module connects to a set of sensors that detect device status.

Installation Installation in switchboards
recommendations Safety clearances
and minimum distances
Compact NS80 to 630

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:
c use insulated bars for circuit-breaker connections
c block off the busbars using insulating screens.
For Compact NS80 to 630 devices, terminal shields, phase barriers and the
insulation kit are recommended and may be mandatory depending on the utilisation
voltage and the type of installation (fixed, withdrawable). (See page 147.)

Conductor materials and electrodynamic stresses

Compact circuit breakers can be connected indifferently with bare-copper, tinned-
copper and tinned-aluminium conductors (flexible or rigid bars, cables.
In the event of a short-circuit, thermal and electrodynamic stresses will be exerted
on the conductors. They must therefore be correctly sized and maintained in place
using supports.
Electrical connection points on all types of devices (switch-disconnectors,
contactors, circuit breakers, etc.) should not be used for mechanical support.

None of the control-unit protection functions require an auxiliary source. However, the 24 V DC external power supply (AD module) is
required for certain operating configurations as indicated in the table below.

If the 24 V DC external power supply (AD module) is used, the maximum cable length between
the 24 V DC external power supply (G1, G2) and the Micrologic control unit (F1-, F2+) is ten
metres.
The communications bus requires its own 24 V DC power source (E1, E2). This source is not
the same as the 24 V DC external power-supply module (F1-, F2+).
The BAT battery module, mounted in series upstream of the AD module, ensures an
uninterrupted supply of power if the AD module power supply fails.

A pilot wire interconnects a number of circuit breakers equipped with Micrologic A control units,
as illustrated in the diagram above.
The control unit detecting a fault sends a signal upstream and checks for a signal arriving from
downstream. If there is a signal from downstream, the circuit breaker remains closed for the full
duration of its tripping delay. If there is no signal from downstream, the circuit breaker opens
immediately, whatever the tripping-delay setting.
Fault 1.
Only circuit breaker A detects the fault. Because it receives no signal from downstream, it
immediately opens in spite of its tripping delay set to 0.3.
Fault 2.
Circuit breakers A and B detect the fault. Circuit breaker A receives a signal from B and remains
Note. The maximum permissible distance between two closed for the full duration of its tripping delay set to 0.3. Circuit breaker B does not receive a
devices is 3000 metres and the maximum number of devices signal from downstream and opens immediately, in spite of its tripping delay set to 0.2.

This system breaks very high fault currents
by mechanically tripping the device via a 2 000

"piston" actuated directly by the pressure

produced in the breaking units resulting
from a short-circuit. 200
For high short-circuits, this system provides 100
a faster break and a trip guarantee, as well 50
as natural total discrimination. 20

The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is Ics = 100% Icu

its aptitude to limit short-circuit currents. The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NS range greatly reduces the
forces created by fault currents in devices.
The result is a major increase in breaking perfor mance. In particular, the service

The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NS range is Mechanical effects

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

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):
c the actual peak current (limited current),
c thermal stress (A 2s), i.e. the energy dissipated by the short-circuit in a conductor
with a resistance of 1 Ω.
Example
What is the real value of a 150 kA rms prospective short-circuit (i.e. 330 kA peak)
limited by an NS250L upstream ?
Answer: 30 kA peak (see next page).
Maximum permissible cable stresses

The table below indicates the maximum permissible thermal stresses for cables
depending on their insulation, conductor (Cu or Al) and their cross-sectional area
(CSA). CSA values are given in mm2 and thermal stresses in A2s.
CSA (mm 2) 1.5 2.5 4 6 10
PVC Cu 2.97 10 4 8.26 104 2.12 105 4.76 10 5 1.32 10 6
Al 5.41 10 5
PRC Cu 4.10 10 4 1.39 105 2.92 105 6.56 10 5 1.82 10 6
Al 7.52 10 5
CSA (mm 2) 16 25 35 50
PVC Cu 3.4 10 6 8.26 106 1.62 107 3.31 10 7
Al 1.39 10 6 3.38 106 6.64 106 1.35 10 7
PRC Cu 4.69 10 6 1.39 107 2.23 107 4.56 10 7
Al 1.93 10 6 4.70 106 9.23 106 1.88 10 7
Example
Is a Cu/PVC cable with a CSA of 10 mm 2 adequately protected by an NS160N?
The table above indicates that the permissible stress is 1.32 10 6 A 2s.
All short-circuit currents at the point where an NS160N (Icu = 35 kA) is installed are
limited with a ther mal stress less than 6 x 105 A2s (see next page).
Cable protection is therefore ensured up to the limit of the breaking capacity of the
circuit breaker.
