General Information

True Two-Step Stored Energy Mechanism: Masterpact circuit breakers are operated via a stored-
energy mechanism which can be manually or motor charged. The closing time is less than five cycles.
Closing and opening operations can be initiated by remote control or by push buttons on the circuit
breaker front cover. An O–C–O cycle is possible without recharging.
Drawout or Fixed Mount, 3-Pole (P) or 4-Pole (4P) Construction: Masterpact circuit breakers are
available in drawout or fixed mounts, with either 3-pole or 4-pole construction.
Field-installable Trip Units, Sensor Plugs and Accessories: Trip units, sensor plugs and most
accessories are field installable with only the aid of a screwdriver and without adjusting the circuit
breaker. The uniform design of the circuit breaker line allows most accessories to be common for the
whole line.
Reinforced Insulation: Two insulation barriers separate the circuit breaker front from the current path.
Isolation Function by Positive Indication of Contact Status: The mechanical indicator is truly
representative of the status of all the main contacts.
Segregated Compartment: Once the accessory cover has been removed to provide access to the
accessory compartment, the main contacts remain fully isolated. Furthermore, interphase partitioning
allows full insulation between each pole even if the accessory cover has been removed.
Front Connection of Secondary Circuits: All accessory terminals (ring terminals are available as an
option) are located on a connecting block which is accessible from the front in the connected, test and
disconnected positions. This is particularly useful for field inspection and modification.
Anti-Pumping Feature: All Masterpact NT and NW circuit breakers are designed with an anti-pumping
feature that causes an opening order to always takes priority over a closing order. Specifically, if
opening and closing orders occur simultaneously, the charged mechanism discharges without any
movement of the main contacts keeping the circuit breaker in the open (OFF) position.
In the event that opening and closing orders are simultaneously maintained, the standard mechanism
provides an anti-pumping function which continues to keep the main contacts in the open position.
In addition, after fault tripping or opening the circuit breaker intentionally (using the manual or electrical
controls and with the closing coil continuously energized) the circuit breaker cannot be closed until the
power supply to the closing coil is discontinued and then reactivated.
NOTE: When the automatic reset after fault trip (RAR) option is installed, the automatic control system
must take into account the information supplied by the circuit breaker before issuing a new closing
order or before blocking the circuit breaker in the open position. Information on the type of fault, e.g.
overload, short-circuit or ground fault.
Disconnection Through the Front Door: The racking handle and racking mechanism are accessible
through the front door cutout. Disconnecting the circuit breaker is possible without opening the door
and exposing live parts.

Reduced Maintenance: Under normal operating conditions, the circuit breaker does not require
maintenance. However, if maintenance or inspection is necessary, the arc chambers are easily
removed so you may visually inspect the contacts and wear indicator groove (see the figure below for
06133470

how wear is indicated). The operation counter can also indicate when inspections and possible
maintenance should be done.

All Masterpact circuit breakers are equipped with the Micrologic trip system to protect power circuits
and loads. Micrologic trip systems use a set of current transformers (called CTs or sensors) to sense
current, a trip unit to evaluate the current, and a tripping solenoid to trip the circuit breaker. Adjustable
rotary switches on the trip unit allow the user to set the proper overcurrent or equipment ground-fault
current protection required in the electrical system. If current exceeds a set value for longer than its set
time delay, the trip system opens the circuit breaker. Alarms may be programmed for remote
indications. Measurements of current, voltage, frequency, power, and power quality optimize continuity
of service and energy management. Micrologic trip units can be changed on-site.
Integration of protection functions in the Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) electronic
component used in all Micrologic trip units guarantees a high degree of reliability and immunity to
conducted or radiated disturbances. On Micrologic P and H trip units, advanced functions are
managed by an independent microprocessor.
Masterpact circuit breakers are shipped with the long-time pickup switch set at 1.0 and all other trip unit
adjustments set at their lowest settings. Actual settings required for a specific application must be
determined by a qualified consultant or plant engineer. A coordination study is recommended to
provide coordination between all circuit breakers in the distribution system.

The thermal imaging function protects the cables or bus bars from overheating in case of low
amplitude repetitive faults. Such overheating can be due to repetitive motor starting, fluctuating load,
intermittent ground faults, or subsequent closing after a fault.
Traditional electronic protection does not protect against repetitive faults because the duration of each
overload above the pickup setting is too short to achieve effective tripping. Nevertheless, each
overload involves a temperature rise in the installation, the cumulative effect of which could lead to
overheating of the system.
The thermal imaging function remembers and integrates the thermal heating caused by each pickup
setting overrun. Before tripping, the integrated heating value will reduce the associated time delay and,
therefore, the reaction of the trip unit will be closer to the real heating of the power network system.
After tripping, the function will also reduce the time delay when closing the circuit breaker on an
overload.

1600–6300 A 500 A
The Ammeter (A) trip unit provides all of the above plus additional functionality when powered by
external 24 Vdc power supply:
• Ammeter and bar graph displays are functional with or without current flowing through the circuit
breaker
• Trip settings and (Max) current readings can be accessed on the display by pressing navigation
button with or without current flowing through the circuit breaker
• Ground-fault push-to-trip button works for testing ground fault with or without current flowing
through the circuit breaker
• Optional Modbus® communications—Also requires a separate 24 Vdc power supply for the circuit
breaker communications module
NOTE: Ground-fault push-to-trip button will also be functional if a hand-held test kit or full-function test
kit is powering the trip unit.

Power (P) and Harmonic (H) trip unit without 24 Vdc power supply at F1 and F2

The P and H trip units were designed to be used with the external 24 Vdc power supply. The large LCD
display requires too much current to be powered by current flow through the circuit breaker. The P and
H trip units do have a voltage power supply which will power the trip unit with 100 Vac or more between
two phases or phase to neutral. The standard configuration for the voltage probes inside the circuit
breaker is at the bottom connections. If the circuit breaker was open in a top fed application, there
would be no voltage at the bottom of the circuit breaker and the trip unit would not be powered.
• Provides fault protection for LSIG functions
• Provides LED trip indication (powered by an onboard battery)
NOTE: Ground-fault push-to-trip button works for testing ground fault if the trip unit is powered by the
voltage power supply. The ground-fault push-to-trip is also functional if a hand-held test kit or full-
function test kit is powering the trip unit.

Power (P) and Harmonic (H) Trip Unit With 24 Vdc Power Supply at F1 and F2

• Provides all of the above


• LCD display and backlight are functional
• Ground-fault push-to-trip button works for testing ground fault
• All metering, monitoring, and history logs are functional
• Communications from trip unit to M2C and M6C programmable contact modules are powered by a
24 Vdc supply at F1 and F2. M6C also requires a 24 Vdc external power supply
• Modbus communications—Also requires a separate 24 Vdc power supply for the circuit breaker
communications module.
NOTE: Ground-fault push-to-trip button will also be functional if hand-held test kit or full-function test kit
is powering the trip unit.

Micrologic Trip Units–Overview

True RMS Current Sensing

The sensing system responds to the flow of current through the circuit breaker. Electronic trip circuit
breakers are limited to ac systems because the electronic trip system uses current transformers to
sense the current.The Micrologic trip unit samples the current waveform to provide true RMS
protection through the 15th harmonic.
This true RMS sensing gives accurate values for the magnitude of a non-sinusoidal waveform.
Therefore, the heating effects of harmonically distorted waveforms are accurately evaluated.
The Micrologic H trip unit provides additional sampling of the waveforms to measure and provide
waveform capture of harmonic distortion to the 31st harmonic.
Masterpact Universal Power Circuit Breakers use Micrologic electronic trip systems to sense overcurrents
and trip the circuit breaker. The Micrologic basic trip unit is standard and all Masterpact circuit breakers can
be equipped with the optional Micrologic trip systems listed below:
• Micrologic Basic Trip Unit (standard).
— 2.0 basic protection (LS0)
— 5.0 selective protection (LSI)
• Micrologic A: Trip Unit with Ammeter.
— 2.0A basic protection (LS0)
— 5.0A selective protection (LSI)
— 6.0A selective protection with ground-fault protection for equipment (LSIG)
• Micrologic P: Trip Unit with Power Metering.

Micrologic 6.0A Trip Unit

Ammeter Measurements

Micrologic A trip units measure the true RMS value of currents. They provide continuous current
measurement from 0.2 to 20 x In with an accuracy of 1.5% (including sensors). No auxiliary source is
needed where I > 0.2 x In. The optional external power supply (24 Vdc) makes it possible to display
currents where I < 0.2 x In and to store values of the interrupted current. A digital LCD screen
continuously displays the most heavily loaded phase (Imax) or displays the Ia, Ib, Ic, Ig, and (on 4-pole
circuit breakers only) In stored current and setting values by successively pressing the navigation button.

Communication Network

Four wire Modbus, RTU, RS485


In conjunction with an optional communication network, the trip unit transmits the following parameters:
• Setting values.
• All ammeter measurements.
• Tripping causes.
NOTE: Current-based protection functions require no auxiliary power source. When an external power
supply is added, the value of the interrupted current is stored by the trip unit. The reset button resets
alarms, and stored interrupted current indications.

Configuring Alarms and Other Protection Functions

When the cover is closed, the keypad may no longer be used to change the protection settings, but it
still provides access to the displays for measurements, histories, indicators, etc. Depending on the
thresholds and time delays set, the Micrologic P trip unit monitors current, voltage, power, frequency,
and phase sequence. Each threshold overrun may be signalled remotely via the communication
network.
Each threshold overrun may be combined with tripping (protection) or an indication carried out by an
optional M2C/M6C programmable contact (alarm), or both (protection and alarm).

Maintenance Record

The maintenance record can be consulted using the full-function test kit or remotely via the
communication network. It can be used as an aid in troubleshooting and to assist scheduling for device
maintenance operations.
Recorded indications include:
• Highest current measured
• Operation counter (both cumulative total and total since last reset)
• Number of test kit connections
• Number of trips in operating mode
• Contact wear (Masterpact NW only)

Load Shedding and Reconnection Parameters

Load shedding and reconnection parameters can be set according to the power or the current flowing
through the circuit breaker. Load shedding is carried out by a remote computer via the communication
network or by an M2C or M6C programmable contact.

Indication Option via Programmable Contacts

The M2C (two contacts) and M6C (six contacts) programmable contacts may be used to signal
threshold overruns or status changes. They can be programmed using the keypad on the Micrologic P
and H trip units or remotely using the communication network. These contacts are required to obtain
data from the protective relay functions on Type P and Type H trip units.

Waveform Capture

Micrologic H trip units can capture and store current and voltage waveforms using digital sampling
techniques similar to those used in oscilloscopes. Using the information available in the captured
waveform, it is possible to determine the level of harmonics as well as the direction and amplitude of
the flow of harmonic power.
Users of Micrologic H trip units can record manually via the keypad the following waveforms:
• The four currents: Ia, Ib, Ic, and IN
• The three phase-to-phase voltages: Vab, Vbc, and Vca
Waveforms may be displayed on the graphic screen of Micrologic H trip units or communicated over a
networked system. The recording takes place over one cycle with a measurement range of 0 to 1.5 IN
for current and 0 to 690 volts for voltage. The resolution is 64 points per cycle.

Masterpact® NT and NW Universal Power Circuit Breakers Certified to ABS-NVR
Micrologic® Electronic Trip Systems

Customized Alarm Programming

The instantaneous value of each measurement can be compared to user-set high and low thresholds.
Overrun of a threshold generates an alarm. Programmable action can be linked to each alarm, including
circuit breaker opening, activation of an M2C or M6C contact, recording of measurements in a log, etc.

Event Logs

Each event is recorded with:


• The date, time, and name of the event.
• The event characteristics.

Additional Technical Characteristics for Type P and Type H Trip Units

• Setting the display language: System messages can be displayed in six different languages:
— English - US
— English - UK
— French
— German
— Spanish
— Italian
The desired language is selected via the keypad.
• Protection functions: All current-based protection functions require no auxiliary source. Voltage-
based protection functions are connected to AC power via a voltage measurement input built into
the circuit breaker on the bottom side. (Optional external voltage measurement is available.)
• Accuracy of measurements (including sensors):
— Voltage (V) 1%
— Current (A) 1.5% (higher accuracy [1%] may be achieved with special calibration on the current
transformer [CT characterization option])
— Frequency (Hz) 0.1 Hz
— Power (W) and energy (Wh) 2.5%
— The Micrologic H trip unit uses a dedicated metering data chain separate from the protection
data chain so that a greater number of data samples can be used for metering. This increases
the number of samples taken per time period, which in turn gives the H trip unit a higher degree
of metering accuracy.
• Stored information: The fine setting adjustments, the last 100 events and the maintenance record
remain in the trip unit memory even when power is lost.
• Reset: An individual reset, via the keypad or remotely, will reset alarms, minimum and maximum
data, peak values, counters and the indicators.

Short-Time and
Instantaneous Trip
Functions Instantaneous Trip Function

The instantaneous pickup switch sets the short-circuit current level at which the circuit breaker will trip
with no intentional time delay. The instantaneous current (Ii) is equal to the instantaneous pickup
setting multiplied by the sensor plug amperage (In).
The instantaneous function will override the short-time function if the instantaneous pickup is adjusted
at the same or lower setting than the short-time pickup. In trip units with both adjustable short-time and
instantaneous trip functions, the adjustable instantaneous trip can be disabled by setting
Instantaneous pickup to OFF.

Ground-Fault Trip Functions

Communication Network

Masterpact NW/NT circuit breaker, and Micrologic trip unit information is available via a Modbus network to
Powerlogic® System ManagerTM software (SMS) or other applications for reporting and recording.
Four wire Modbus, RTU, RS485—Types of information available via Modbus communication network:

• Circuit breaker identification and status. • Trip indication.


• Remote control of circuit breaker operation. • Alarm reporting.
• View and set protection function parameters. • Historical files and maintenance records.
• Real-time readings.

The Modbus circuit breaker communication feature, standard on the Micrologic P and H trip units and
available for the Micrologic A trip unit, is made up of:
• A Modbus circuit breaker communication module (BCM) installed on the circuit breaker and
supplied with a kit for optional connection to the XF shunt close and MX shunt trip.
• An optional Modbus cradle communication module (CCM) installed adjacent to the breaker cradle.
Cradle position switches are required for breaker position status (connected, test, or disconnected).

Modbus Circuit Breaker Communication Module (BCM)

The Modbus circuit breaker communication module (BCM) is installed in the circuit breaker and
requires a separate, isolated 24 Vdc power source. The BCM is optically coupled to the Micrologic trip
unit to ensure a high level of isolation between the trip unit and the communication network. The
Modbus BCM provides circuit breaker status via dedicated O/F (open or closed), SDE (fault tripped),
CH (spring charged), and PF (ready-to-close) switches and provides the capability of remotely
controlling the circuit breaker. It also maintains an event log of circuit breaker status containing the
number of times the circuit breaker has experienced each status position with the date and time of the
last transition. This information and the remote control capability are available to a Modbus supervisor
system via a Modbus communication network.

Modbus Cradle Communication Module (CCM)

The optional Modbus cradle communication module (CCM) is installed adjacent to the circuit breaker
cradle and is the gateway between the Modbus network and the Modbus BCM. The Modbus CCM
provides circuit breaker cradle status including connected position (CE), disconnected position (CD)
and test position (CT). The CCM monitors the communication parameters of the Modbus BCM and trip
unit when it detects a circuit breaker being racked from the cradle. When the circuit breaker is
reinstalled or a spare circuit breaker is installed and racked into the cradle, the CCM automatically
downloads the address, baud rate, and parity into the BCM. This capability allows a circuit breaker to be
replaced without the need to manually configure the communication parameters in the Modbus BCM.
The CCM maintains an event log of the date and time of the last circuit breaker transition. In order to
aid system communication troubleshooting, the CCM has visual indication of the module’s operating
status by means of two LEDs.

Powerlogic® System Manager Software (SMS)

System Manager Software (SMS), used for power systems and energy management, provides the
human-machine interface (HMI) for electrical system information on a PC. SMS displays circuit breaker
and trip unit information in several formats including:
• Screens including real-time readings, breaker status and remote control operation.
• Tables displaying real-time readings, maintenance information and date and time of last operation.
• Waveform captures including harmonic content.
• Tabular displays of event logs and data logs.
• Alarm annunciation and recording.

Additional Shunt Trip (MX2) or Undervoltage Trip (MN)


This function opens the circuit breaker via an electrical order.
It is made up of:
• Shunt trip (MX2, second MX) or,
• Undervoltage trip (MN)
— Instantaneous trip
— Fixed undervoltage trip (time delayed) or,
Second Shunt Trip (MX2)
— Adjustable undervoltage trip (time delayed)
As shown in the wiring diagram for the remote tripping function below, the delay unit (installed outside
the circuit breaker) may be disabled by an emergency off button to obtain non-delayed opening of the
circuit breaker.
When energized, the shunt trip (MX1) instantaneously opens the circuit breaker. A continuous supply
of power to the second shunt trip (MX2) locks the circuit breaker in the off position.

The undervoltage trip (MN) instantaneously opens the circuit breaker when its supply voltage drops to
a value between 35% and 70% of its rated voltage.
If the undervoltage trip is not energized, it is impossible to close the circuit breaker, either manually or
electrically. An attempt to close the circuit breaker produces no movement of the main contacts.
Closing is allowed when the supply voltage of the undervoltage trip reaches 85% of rated voltage.

Time-Delay Module for Undervoltage Trip


To eliminate circuit breaker nuisance tripping during temporary voltage dips (micro-breaks), operation
of the undervoltage trip (MN) can be delayed. This function is achieved by adding an external delay
unit (either adjustable or non-adjustable) to the undervoltage trip (MN) circuit.

Restraint Interface Module (RIM)


The restraint interface module (RIM) is used to allow zone-selective interlocking communications
between circuit breakers with old Micrologic®, Merlin Gerin, or Federal Pioneer trip units and GC series
ground-fault relays.
Downstream circuit breakers with Micrologic 2.0A, 5.0A, 5.0P, 5.0H, 6.0A, 6.0P, and 6.0H trip units can
restrain up to 15 upstream circuit breakers with Micrologic 5.0A, 5.0P, 5.0H, 6.0A, 6.0P and 6.0H trip
units without requiring a restraint interface module. If the number of upstream circuit breakers exceeds
15, then a RIM is required.

Introduction

Masterpact circuit breakers are available in three frame sizes:


• T-frame circuit breakers: rated up to 1600 A.
• W-frame circuit breakers: rated up to 4000 A.
• Y-frame circuit breakers: rated up to 6300 A.
Within each range, several sensor plugs are available to determine the maximum trip rating of each
circuit breaker. In addition to a sensor plug, an adjustable rating plug is available to get lower ampacity
than that available with the sensor plug.
Masterpact circuit breakers can be equipped with a variety of Micrologic electronic trip unit
configurations, ranging from basic circuit protection to more advanced relay protection and power
metering capabilities. Additionally all electronic trip units within the new Micrologic family are field
interchangeable and upgradeable. Each control unit is also equipped with an interchangeable and
upgradeable adjustable rating plug which is used to select the long-time pickup setting of the circuit
breaker.
NOTE: Masterpact circuit breakers are ordered by sensor plug rating, not ampere trip rating. The trip
rating of the circuit breaker is determined by the setting of the adjustable rating plug. Sensor plugs and
rating plugs are field replaceable.

Overview of Selection Procedure

1. Select the completely assembled circuit breaker (circuit breaker frame plus trip unit):
— The frame ampere rating required
— The interrupting rating required
— The sensor plug rating required
— The connections
2. Select the trip unit, rating plug, and trip unit options.
3. Select circuit breaker frame options, if required.
4. Select cradle options, if required.
