… specifically for DC - DC PV
applications
Compact NSX DC and Masterpact NW DC Designed for direct current

circuit breakers offer optimised pole-connection
possibilities. Performance levels and quality signed Schneider Electric
The creation of a dependable and high-performance DC range requires a large
amount of specific design and development work in addition to that invested in the
original AC range.
Schneider Electric called on its proven industrial experience in the AC field and its
recognised know-how in current interruption to develop a high-performance DC
range.
Schneider Electric decided to use the cases and accessories of its Compact NSX
and Masterpact NW ranges with:
b a high-performance design for the breaking chambers or the poles intended
specifically for DC applications (e.g. 100 kA at 250 V per pole for Compact NSX
and 85 kA at 900 V for two poles for Masterpact NW)
b fast trip units developed for DC applications
b optimised pole-connection and isolation possibilities that are both simple and
dependable.
Optimised solutions for the many types of DC systems

The many types of DC systems make it necessary, for cost and technical-
optimisation reasons, to connect the poles of two, three or four-pole circuit breakers
in series or in parallel.
b The Compact NSX and Masterpact NW ranges enable series connection of poles,
thereby optimising breaking capacity for high voltages.
Series connection reduces the voltage across the terminals of each pole (the total
voltage is divided by two, three or four depending on the circuit breaker) and the
operation of all poles provides the breaking capacity of the overall device.
This makes it possible to break short-circuit currents at high voltages while optimising
solutions (e.g. a Compact NSX 100 kA 250 V per pole can be used on a 750 V
system with three poles connected in series, thus reducing the cost compared to a
750 V solution).
b The Compact NSX range enables parallel connection of the poles, thereby
optimising the use of the rated currents.
Optimised and dependable series or parallel

DB402604.eps
connection of poles
Series connection - controlled temperature rise and
guaranteed performance
Schneider Electric DC circuit breakers comply with product standards
IEC 60947-1 and 2.
To that end, series connection of poles meets:
b temperature-rise conditions. Connections specifically designed to dissipate heat
mean the thermal model is equivalent to that for AC applications. The devices
dissipate the temperature rise produced by relatively short series connections
b optimum safety conditions. Connections are designed for extreme operating
conditions (insulation and safety clearances, ultimate breaking capacity, high
Compact NSX DC - safety and flexibility. pollution levels, etc.).
Parallel connection - optimisation

Certain DC systems require high power levels (hundreds to thousands of amperes)
DB402605.eps
at reduced voltages, most often y 250 V.

The configurations of DC systems and the exceptional performance levels of
Compact NSX circuit breakers mean the poles can be parallel connected.
This technique virtually doubles, triples or quadruples the current rating depending
on the type of circuit breaker and thus reduces the cost of solutions.

Comparison of series and parallel connection in terms of performance

Series connection of poles divides the voltage per pole Series connection of poles on a DC circuit breaker is the means to:
and optimises breaking capacity for high-voltage b divide the system voltage by the number of poles
systems. b use the rated current for each pole
b use the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker for all the poles.
For example, a Compact NSX630, 3P DC type, with the three poles connected in
series, provides:
b a maximum voltage of 750 V (250 V per pole)
b a rated current of 630 A
b a breaking capacity of 100 kA / 750 V.
Consequently, a 630 A / 250 V device can be used in a 750 V system.
Parallel connection of poles divides the current per Parallel connection of poles, on the contrary, imposes the system voltage on
pole and optimises the rated current for systems that each pole, but is the means to:
do not exceed the withstand voltage of each pole. b divide the current flowing through each pole by the number of poles
The maximum useable rating and the value of the b increase the rated current.
magnetic setting are indicated (see page B-7). For example, the same Compact NSX630 DC 3P circuit breaker with three poles in
parallel provides:
b a maximum voltage of 250 V (250 V per pole)
b a rated current of 1500 A (see table page B-7)
b a breaking capacity of 100 kA / 250 V.
Consequently, a 630 A device used in a 250 V system can handle 1500 A.

Short-circuit currents
Calculation of the short-circuit current across the terminals of
DB403117.eps
a battery
During a short-circuit, the battery discharges a current equal to :
Vb
Isc =
Ri
b Vb = maximum discharge voltage (battery 100 % charged)
b Ri = internal resistance equivalent to all cells (a function of the capacity in
ampere-hours).
Example
b Consider a set of four 500 Ah batteries connected in parallel.
b Discharge voltage of one battery: 240 V (110 cells 2.2 V each).
b Discharge current of one battery: 300 A with a run-time of 30 minutes.
b Discharge current of all four batteries: 1200 A with a run-time of 30 minutes.
b Internal resistance 0.5 mW per cell, i.e. for one battery:
Ri = 110 x 0.5 x 10-3 = 55 x 10-3 W.
b Short-circuit current of one battery: Isc = 240 V / 55 x 10-3 W = 4.37 kA.
b Neglecting the resistance of the connections, for all four batteries discharging the
short-circuit current in parallel, the total short-circuit current is four times that of one
battery, i.e. Isc = 4 x 4.37 kA = 17.5 kA.
Note: if the internal resistance is not known, it is possible to use the following rough
approximation: Isc = kc where c is the capacity of the battery in ampere-hours and k is a
coefficient close to 10 and always less than 20.
Other typical examples

b PABXs: Isc from 5 to 25 kA at 240 V DC with L/R = 5 ms.
b Submarine: Isc from 40 to 60 kA at 400 V DC with L/R = 5 ms.
L/R time constant

When a short-circuit occurs across the terminals of a DC circuit, the current rises
DB403118.eps
from the load current (y In) to the short-circuit current Isc over a period of time that
depends on the value of the resistance R and inductance L of the short-circuited
loop.
The equation determining the current in the loop is:
U = Ri + L Di/Dt
The curve of I versus time is defined (neglecting In) by the equation:
I= Isc (1 - exp(t/t))
where t = L/R is the time constant for the rise to Isc.
DB403119.eps
Practically speaking, after a time t = 3t, the short-circuit is considered to be

established, because the value of exp(-3) = 0.05 is negligible compared to 1 (see the
curve opposite).
The lower the time constant (e.g. battery circuit), the shorter the time required for the
current to rise to Isc.
To express breaking capacity, the interrupted short-circuit current with the following
time constants is used:
b L/R = 5 ms, fast short-circuit
b L/R = 15 ms, standardised value used in standard IEC 60947-2
b L/R = 30 ms, slow short-circuit.
In general, the value of the system time constant is calculated under worst-case
conditions, across the terminals of the generator.
Breaking-capacity values for:

b Compact NSX DC (table page A-10) are the same for 5 ms and 15 ms
b Masterpact NW DC (table page A-48) are indicated for 3 values, 5 ms, 15 ms
and 30 ms.

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:
b tripping threshold between 0.35 and 0.7 times the rated voltage
b circuit breaker closing is possible if the voltage exceeds 0.85 times the rated
voltage. For a lower value, circuit breaker closing cannot be guaranteed.
Circuit breaker tripping by an MN release meets the requirements of standard
IEC 60947-2.
Time-delay unit for an MN release

Eliminates nuisance tripping due to transient voltage dips lasting 200 ms.
It is used in conjunction with:
b a 250 V DC MN release, control voltage 220/240 V AC
b a 48 V DC MN release, control voltage 48 V AC.
MX shunt release
Trips the circuit breaker when the control voltage rises above 0.7 x Un.
Control signals can be of the impulse type (u 20 ms) or maintained.
Operation
When the circuit breaker has been tripped by an MN or MX release, it must be reset
locally.
MN or MX tripping takes priority over manual closing.
In the presence of a standing trip order, closing of the contacts, even temporary,
is not possible.

Rotary handles
For Compact NSX DC
Extended rotary handle

PB104939.eps
Degree of protection IP55, IK08.

The extended rotary handle makes it possible to operate circuit breakers installed at
the back of switchboards, from the switchboard front.
It maintains:
bb visibility of and access to trip-unit settings
bb suitability for isolation
bb indication of the three positions O (OFF), I (ON) and tripped.
Mechanical door locking when device closed
A standard feature of the extended rotary handle is a locking function, built into the
shaft, that disables door opening when the circuit breaker is in the ON or tripped
positions.
Door locking can be temporarily disabled with a tool to open the door without
opening the circuit breaker. This operation is not possible if the handle is locked by a
Compact NSX DC with an extended rotary handle installed at padlock.
the back of a switchboard, with the keylock option and key. Voluntary disabling of mechanical door locking
A modification to the handle, that can be carried out on site, completely disables door
locking, including when a padlock is installed on the handle. The modification is
PB104940.eps
reversible.
When a number of extended rotary handles are installed on a door, this disabling
function is the means to ensure door locking by a single device.
Device and door padlocking
Padlocking locks the circuit breaker handle and disables door opening:
bb standard situation, in the OFF position, using 1 to 3 padlocks, shackle diameter 5
to 8 mm, not supplied
bb with a simple modification, in the ON and OFF positions. Locking in the ON
position does not prevent free circuit breaker tripping if a fault occurs.
In this case, the handle remains in the ON position after the circuit breaker tripping.
Unlocking is required to go to the tripped then the OFF position.
If the door controls were modified to voluntarily disable door locking, padlocking
does not lock the door, but does disable handle operation of the device.
Device locking using a keylock inside the switchboard
It is possible to install a Ronis or Profalux keylock (optional) on the base of the rotary
handle to lock the device in the OFF position or in either the ON or OFF positions.
Accessory for device operation with the door open
When the device is equipped with an extended rotary handle, a control accessory
mounted on the shaft makes it possible to operate the device with the door open.
bb The device can be padlocked in the OFF position.
bb The accessory complies with UL508.
Early-make or early-break contacts (optional)
The extended rotary handle offers the same possibilities with early-make and/or
early-break contacts as the standard rotary handle.
Parts of the extended rotary handles
bb A unit that replaces the front cover of the circuit breaker (secured by screws).
bb An assembly (handle and front plate) on the door that is always secured in the
same position, whether the circuit breaker is installed vertically or horizontally.
bb An extension shaft that must be adjusted to the distance. The min/max distance
between the back of circuit breaker and door is:
vv 185…600 mm for Compact NSX100 to 250 DC
vv 209…600 mm for Compact NSX400/630 DC.
For withdrawable devices, the extended rotary handle is also available with a
telescopic shaft to compensate for device disconnection. In this case, the min/max
distances are:
vv 248…600 mm for Compact NSX100 to 250 DC
vv 272...600 mm for Compact NSX400/630 DC.
Manual source-changeover systems

PB104937.eps
An additional accessory interlocks two devices with rotary handles to create a

source-changeover system. Closing of one device is possible only if the second is
open.
This function is compatible with direct or extended rotary handles.
Up to three padlocks can be used to lock in the OFF or ON position.

Circuit breaker control by MN or MX

When the circuit breaker has been tripped by an MN or MX release, it must be reset
before it can be reclosed.
MN or MX tripping takes priority over manual closing.
In the presence of a standing trip order, closing of the contacts, even temporary, is
not possible.
Note: circuit breaker opening using an MN or MX release must

(1) Double earth fault:
PV systems are either insulated from the earth or one pole is earthed through an overcurrent protection. In both set-ups,
therefore, there can be a ground fault in which current leaks to the ground. If this fault is not cleared, it may spread to the healthy
pole and give rise to a hazardous situation where fire could break out. Even though double insulation makes such an eventuality
unlikely, it deserves full attention.
For the two following reasons the double fault situation shall be absolutely avoided: insulation monitoring devices or overcurrent
protection in earthed system shall detect first fault and staff shall look after the first fault and clear it with no delay.
bb The fault level could be low (e.g. two insulation faults or a low short-circuit capability of the generator in weak sunlight) and
below the tripping value of overcurrent protection (circuit breaker or fuses). However, a DC arc fault does not extinguish itself,
even when the current is low. It could be a serious hazard, particularly for PV modules on buildings.
bb Circuit breakers and switches used in PV systems are designed to break the rated current or fault current with all poles at
open-circuit maximum voltage (UOC MAX). To break the current when UOC MAX is equal to 1000 V, four poles in series (two poles in
series for each polarity) are required. In double earth fault situations, the circuit breaker or switches must break the current at
full voltage with only two poles in series. Such switchgear is not designed for that purpose and could sustain irremediable
damage if used to break the current in a double ground fault situation.
The ideal solution is to prevent double ground faults arising. Insulation monitoring devices or overcurrent protection in grounded
systems detect the first fault. However, although the insulation fault monitoring system usually stops the inverter, the fault is still
present. Staff must locate and clear it without delay. In large generators with sub-arrays protected by circuit breakers, it is highly
advisable to disconnect each array when that first fault has been detected but not cleared within the next few hours.

General characteristics
of Masterpact NW DC - DC PV
Operating conditions
Masterpact circuit breakers have been tested for

operation in industrial atmospheres. It is
recommended that the equipment be cooled or heated
to the proper operating temperature and kept free of
excessive vibration and dust.
Ambient temperature
DB402051.eps
Masterpact devices can operate under the following temperature conditions:

bb the electrical and mechanical characteristics are stipulated for an ambient
temperature of -25 °C to +70 °C
bb circuit-breaker closing is guaranteed down to -35 °C by manual operation (push
button).
Storage conditions are as follows:
bb -40 to +85 °C for a Masterpact device without its control unit
bb -25 °C to +85 °C for the control unit.
Extreme atmospheric conditions

DB402052.eps
Masterpact devices have successfully passed the tests defined by the following
standards for extreme atmospheric conditions:
bb IEC 60068-2-1: dry cold at -40 °C
bb IEC 60068-2-2: dry heat at +85 °C
bb IEC 60068-2-30: damp heat (temperature +55 °C, relative humidity 95 %)
bb IEC 60068-2-52 level 2: salt mist.
Masterpact devices can operate in the industrial environments defined by standard
IEC 60947 (pollution degree up to 4).
It is nonetheless advised to check that the devices are installed in suitably cooled
switchboards without excessive dust.
Vibrations
DB128163.eps
Masterpact devices have successfully passed testing in compliance with

IEC 60068-2-6 for the following vibration levels:
bb 2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude ±1 mm
bb 13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g.
Vibration testing to these levels is required by merchant marine inspection
organisations (Veritas, Lloyd’s, etc). Some applications have vibration profiles
outside of this standard and require special attention during application design,
installation, and use. Excessive vibration may cause unexpected tripping, damage to
connections or to other mechanical parts. Please refer to the Masterpact
maintenance guide (causes of accelerated ageing / operating conditions / vibrations)
for additional information.
Examples of applications with high vibration profiles could include:
bb wind turbines
bb power frequency converters that are installed in the same switchboard or close
proximity to the Masterpact circuit breaker
bb emergency generators
bb high vibration marine applications such as thrusters, anchor positioning systems,
etc.

Communication Modbus
The Modbus RS 485 (RTU protocol) system is an open bus on which communicating
Modbus devices (Compact NSX DC with Modbus COM, Power Meter PM700,
PM800, Sepam, Vigilohm, etc.) are installed. All types of PLCs and microcomputers
may be connected to the bus.
Addresses
The Modbus communication parameters (address, baud rate, parity) are entered
using the RSU (Remote Setting Utility) Micrologic utility.
Modbus addresses
@xx Circuit breaker manager (1 to 47)
@xx + 50 Chassis manager (51 to 97)
The manager addresses are automatically derived from the circuit breaker address
@xx entered via the Micrologic control unit (the default address is 47).
Number of devices
The maximum number of devices that may be connected to the Modbus bus
depends on the type of device (Compact with Modbus COM, PM700, PM800,
Sepam, Vigilohm, Compact NSX DC, etc.), the baud rate (19200 is recommended),
the volume of data exchanged and the desired response time. The RS 485 physical
layer offers up to 32 connection points on the bus (1 master, 31 slaves).
A fixed device requires only one connection point (communication module on the
device). A drawout device uses two connection points (communication modules on
the device and on the chassis).
The number must never exceed 31 fixed devices or 15 drawout devices.
Length of bus
The maximum recommended length for the Modbus bus is 1200 meters.
Bus power source
A 24 V DC power supply is required (less than 20 % ripple, insulation class II).

Wiring diagram of a point-to-point remote ON / OFF function

Note
DB402619.eps
An opening order always takes priority over a closing order.

If opening and closing orders occur simultaneously, the
mechanism discharges without any movement of the main
contacts. The circuit breaker remains in the open position
(OFF).
In the event of maintained opening and closing orders, the
standard mechanism provides an anti-pumping function by
blocking the main contacts in open position.
Anti-pumping function. After fault tripping or intentional opening
using the manual or electrical controls, the closing order must
first be discontinued, then reactivated to close the circuit
breaker.
When the automatic reset after fault trip (RAR) option is
installed, to avoid pumping following a fault trip, the automatic
control system must take into account the information supplied
by the circuit breaker before issuing a new closing order or
blocking the circuit breaker in the open position. (information
on type of fault: overload, short time delay, earth-leakage fault,
fault vigi or short-circuit, etc.)
Wiring diagram of a bus-type remote ON / OFF function

Note
DB402620.eps
MX communicating releases are of the impulse type only and

cannot be used to lock a circuit breaker in OFF position. For
locking in OFF position, use the remote tripping function
(2nd MX or MN).
When Mx or XF communicating releases are used, the third

wire (C3, A3) must be connected even if the communication
module is not installed. When the control voltage (C3-C1 or
A3-A1) is applied to the MX or XF releases, it is necessary to
wait 1.5 seconds before issuing an order. consequently, it is
advised to use standrad MX or XF releases for applications
such as source-changeover systems.

Electrodynamic forces on the conductors

DB402627.eps
The circuit breakers can be connected with copper, tinned copper or tinned
aluminum conductors (rigid or flexible bars, cables).
In the event of a short-circuit, electrodynamic forces 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 (contactors, circuit breakers, etc.)
should not be used for mechanical support.

Safety clearances, minimum distances
and insulation of live parts
When installing a Compact NSX100 to 630 DC 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:
b use insulated bars for circuit breaker connections
b block off the busbars using insulating screens.
Terminal shields, interphase barriers and the insulation kit are recommended and
may be mandatory depending on the utilisation voltage and the type of installation
(fixed, withdrawable).

Note: the thermal behaviour of switchgear and enclosures warrants careful monitoring. PV generator boxes and array boxes are usually installed outdoors
and exposed to the elements. In the event of high ambient temperatures, high IP levels could reduce air flow and thermal power dissipation.
In addition, the way switchgear devices achieve high voltage operation - i.e. through the use of poles in series - increases their temperature. Special attention
should therefore be paid to the temperature of switchgear inside outdoor enclosures on the DC side.
Schneider Electric recommend to check the installation as per IEC 61439 or any other equivalent standard.

Mounting the circuit-breaker

It is important to distribute the weight of the device uniformily over a rigid mounting
surface such as rails or a base plate.
This mounting plane should be perfectly flat (tolerance on support flatness: 2 mm).
This eliminates any risk of deformation which could interfere with correct operation
of the circuit breaker.
Masterpact devices can also be mounted on a vertical plane using the special
brackets.

Power connection
Cable connections
DB402740.eps
DB402741.eps
If cables are used for the power connections, make
sure that they do not apply excessive mechanical
forces to the circuit breaker terminals.
For this, make the connections as follows:
bb extend the circuit breaker terminals using short bars
designed and installed according to the
recommendations for bar-type power connections:
vv for a single cable, use solution B opposite
vv for multiple cables, use solution C opposite.
bb in all cases, follow the general rules for connections
to busbars:
vv position the cable lugs before inserting the bolts
v the cables should firmly secured to the framework of
the switchboard E.
DB402742.eps
Busbar connections
DB402743.eps
DB402744.eps
The busbars should be suitably adjusted to ensure that

the connection points are positioned on the terminals
before the bolts are inserted B
The connections are held by the support which is solidly
fixed to the framework of the switchboard, such that the
circuit breaker terminals do not have to support its
weight C. (This support should be placed close to the
terminals).
DB402745.eps
Electrodynamic stresses
The first busbar support or spacer shall be situated within a maximum distance from
the connection point of the breaker (see table below). This distance must be
respected so that the connection can withstand the electrodynamic stresses between
phases in the event of a short circuit.

Clamping
DB402746.eps
Correct clamping of busbars depends amongst other things, on the tightening

torques used for the nuts and bolts. Over-tightening may have the same
consequences as under-tightening.
For connecting busbars (Cu ETP-NFA51-100) to the circuit breaker, the tightening
torques to be used are shown in the table below.
These values are for use with copper busbars and steel nuts and bolts, class 8.8. The
same torques can be used with AGS-T52 quality aluminium bars (French standard
NFA 02-104 or American National Standard H-35-1).

Conductor materials and electrodynamic stresses

Compact NSX DC 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 held in place by
supports.
Electrical connection points on switchgear devices (switch-disconnectors,
contactors, circuit breakers, etc.) should not be used for mechanical support.
Any partition between upstream and downstream connections of the device must be
made of non-magnetic material.

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

The result is a major increase in breaking performance.
In particular, the service breaking capacity Ics is equal to 100 % of Icu.
The Ics value, defined by IEC standard 60947-2, is guaranteed by tests comprising
(Isc) the following steps:

voltages in-series with a very steep wave front).
Current and energy limiting curves
The 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):
b the actual peak current (limited current)
b thermal stress (A2s), 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 NSX250L DC upstream ?
The answer is 30 kA peak (curve page E-11).
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 1.5 mm² 2.5 mm² 4 mm² 6 mm² 10 mm²
PVC Cu 2.97 x 104 8.26 x 104 2.12 x 105 4.76 x 105 1.32 x 106
Al 5.41 x 105
PRC Cu 4.10 x 104 1.39 x 105 2.92 x 105 6.56 x 105 1.82 x 106
Al 7.52 x 105
CSA 16 mm² 25 mm² 35 mm² 50 mm²
PVC Cu 3.4 x 106 8.26 x 106 1.62 x 107 3.31 x 107
Al 1.39 x 106 3.38 x 106 6.64 x 106 1.35 x 107
PRC Cu 4.69 x 106 1.39 x 107 2.23 x 107 4.56 x 107
Al 1.93 x 106 4.70 x 106 9.23 x 106 1.88 x 107
Example
Is a Cu/PVC cable with a CSA of 10 mm² adequately protected by an NSX160F?
The table above indicates that the permissible stress is 1.32x106 A2s.
All short-circuit currents at the point where an NSX160F (Icu = 35 kA) is installed are
limited with a thermal stress less than 6x105 A2s (curve page E-11).
Cable protection is therefore ensured up to the limit of the breaking capacity of the
circuit breaker.
