) Minimum fuse size is based on grading under overload of one MCB with one
set of fuses. Where a single set of fuses protects more than one MCB, the
minimum fuse size shall be increased to allow for load biasing effects.

) For specific kA ratings applicable to MCBs, refer page 1 - 21 ratings chart.
Tables based on the following maximum pre-arcing I2t for both BS 88 and DIN fuses:
125 A - 0.4 x 105, 160 A - 0.62 x 105, 200 A - 1.2 x 105, 250 A - 2.1 x 105.
Suitable fuses include NHP, GEC, Siemens and Bovara-Crady.
Fuses with higher current ratings may be used provided I2t values are equal to, or less than, the levels above.
Semi-conductor fuses have very low I2t values and may suit some applications.
Attention is also drawn to AS/NZS 3000 clause 7.10.4.4, regarding the use of fault current limiters in
installations containing fire and smoke control equipment, evacuation equipment and lifts.

Selectivity is where two circuit breakers are connected in series. are structured as follows.
A higher amperage breaker is installed upstream, and a lower

Selectivity Cascade
Selectivity is generally used, for example in critical applications,
feeding essential loads. It is important to ensure total
installation power is not lost due to a small or minor fault in a
sub part of the overall electrical system, for example in a local

MCCBs and MCBs
Cascade
The resultant cascade level with the S250GJ (250 A, 65 kA MCCB) and DTCB10 (32 A, 10 kA MCB) is 65 kA.
This means that the S250GJ will back-up the DTCB10 MCB to 65 kA, which is beyond the normal breaking
capacity of 10 kA.
Selectivity
From the tables, the selectivity level between the same two breakers, S250GJ and DTCB10 connected in
series will be 40 kA. This means that for fault levels up to and including 40 kA, the DTCB10 will trip before
the S250GJ.
Conclusion
For short circuit currents up to and including 40 kA, the DTCB10 will trip before the S250GJ, therefore
ensuring selectivity. For fault levels above 40 kA, both breakers will trip, however the S250GJ will back up
the DTCB10 to 65 kA.

If a fault is detected the thermal overload relay
will open the contactor or control device, thereby
isolating supply to the motor.
What problems can occur?

At the instant the motor is supplied with power, it draws an “in-
rush current” to its terminals before gradually decaying to a
normal operating current.
Should the in-rush current be high, it could be detected by the
SCPD and classed as a fault current. If a high in-rush current
should occur or even after repeated stop-start (inching)
operations of the motor, the SCPD may trip, albeit without a
fault in the system. This is commonly known as “nuisance
tripping” of the SCPD.
Special care must be taken when selecting a SCPD for motor- 12
starting applications to prevent nuisance tripping and, at the
same time, ensuring adequate protection to the motor and
associated cabling.
Another function of the SCPD is to protect the control device
(e.g. contactor) from high-current, high-energy faults.
Therefore, attention must also be paid when selecting a SCPD-

The standards Typical arrangement for co-ordination test

The requirements of several standards can be applied to these
combination units. The Wiring Rules, AS 3000, are concerned mainly
with setting standards for the fixed wiring. In this regard the
concern is the wiring between the protective device and the motor.
As motors can experience short term overloading the current
rating of a fuse can be up to 4 times and a circuit breaker 2.5
times the full load rating of the motor. The Wiring Rules allow
the overload protection and the short circuit protection to be
provided by different devices. This allows magnetic only circuit
breakers, or back-up type fuses to be used, in conjunction with
a contactor/thermal overload relay configuration.
Isolating switches must also be provided in the motor or control
circuit. These are to be in clear view of any person working on
the motor, or provided with a locking device.
AS 3947.4.1 specifies testing requirements for the combination
of components required to perform the motor control and
protection functions. If the equipment has been mounted in a 12
switchboard it is possible to meet the testing requirements of
AS 3947.2 short circuit withstand of the outgoing circuit, at the
same time as the tests to AS 3947.4.1 are performed.
Both standards look at the performance of the equipment when
a fault occurs on the outgoing circuit. It is accepted in these
standards that some damage may be sustained by the
components of the starter when subjected to short circuit
conditions.

Note: • Recommended circuit breaker sizes are based on the following starting conditions, using standard efficiency motors:
< 3 kW starting current maximum of 6 x motor rated current, starting time maximum of 5 seconds
> 3 kW starting current maximum of 7 x motor rated current, starting time maximum of 5 seconds
The use of high inrush, high efficiency motors needs to be considered, along with the maximum instant trip setting of the MCCB.
• Combinations are based on the overload tripping before the circuit breaker at overload currents up to the motor locked rotor current.
• Refer to NHP for other component combinations.
• MCCBs rated 65kA may be replaced by 50kA types where the kA rating does not need to be 65kA.

Downstream short circuit current calculator
Calculation of a downstream short-circuit current is a function of the upstream short-circuit current

(Isco), cross-section and length of the conductor. The following table provides information to
calculate approximately, the short circuit current at a relevant point of the installation.

Application data
Transformers in parallel
Parallel transformer short-circuit current (Isc)

In the case of several transformers in parallel there are some points of the installation where the Icc is
the sum of the short-circuit currents provided by each transformer. The short-circuit capacity of the
protective devices shall be calculated taking into consideration the following criteria:
Short-circuit in A: Icu1 ≥ Isc2 + Isc3

Short-circuit in F: Icu2 ≥ Isc2
Short-circuit in D: Icu4 ≥ Isc1 + Isc2 + Isc3
Let-through energy
The standard IEC 60364 describes that the current limiting of the conductors (K2S2) shall be equal to
or greater than the let-through energy (I2t) quoted by the protective device.
The K coefficient depends on the conductor insulation. S is the cross section of the conductor. I2t ≤ K2S2
