Safety clearances and minimum

distances
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:
b use insulated bars for circuit-breaker connections
b block off the busbars using insulating screens.
For EasyPact breaker, terminal shields, inter-phase barriers or an insulation isolator
are recommended and may be mandatory depending on the utilisation voltage and
the type of installation.

Temperature derating

Ambient temperature

EasyPact devices are equipped with fixed thermal-magnetic trip units.

b EasyPact has been particularly designed to hold 100 % In at 50 C without tripping
in normal condition (except for earth-leakage circuit breakers).
b EasyPact circuit breakers may be used between -25 C and +70 C.
b EasyPact 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.
b the permissible storage-temperature range for EasyPact circuit breakers in the
original packing is -35 C to +85 C.
To determine tripping times using time/current curves, use Ir values corresponding to
the thermal setting on the device, corrected as indicated in the tables below.

Current-limiting curves

The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is its aptitude to

limit short-circuit currents.

The exceptional limiting capacity of the EasyPact range greatly reduces the forces
created by fault currents in devices.
The result is a major increase in breaking performance.

DB116528

Installation guide

The Ics value, defined by IEC standard 60947-2, is guaranteed by tests comprising
the following operations:
b break three times consecutively a fault current equal from 25% to 100% of Icu
b check that the device continues to function normally:
v it conducts the rated current without abnormal temperature rises
v protection functions perform within the limits specified by the standard
v suitability for isolation is not impaired.

Longer service life of electrical installations

Currentlimiting circuit breakers greatly reduce the negative effects of shortcircuits

on installations.
Thermal effects
Less temperature rise in conductors, therefore longer service life for cables.
Mechanical effects
Reduced electrodynamic forces, therefore less risk of electrical contacts or busbars
being deformed or broken.
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 shortcircuit 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
enclosures.

Current-limiting curves

The current-limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is expressed by two curves which

are a function of the prospective shortcircuit 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 W.

Cascading

What is cascading?

Cascading is the use of the current limiting capacity of circuit breakers at a given
point to permit installation of lower-rated and therefore lower-cost circuit breakers
downstream.
The upstream compact circuit breakers acts as a barrier against short-circuit
currents. In this way, downstream circuit breakers with lower breaking capacities
than the prospective short-circuit (at their point of installation) operate under their
normal breaking conditions.
Since the current is limited throughout the circuit controlled by the limiting circuit
breaker, cascading applies to all switchgear downstream. It is not restricted to two
consecutive devices.

General use of cascading

With cascading, the devices can be installed in different switchboards. Thus, in

general, cascading refers to any combination of circuit breakers where a circuit
breaker with a breaking capacity less than the prospective Isc at its point of
installation can be used. Of course, the breaking capacity of the upstream circuit
breaker must be greater than or equal to the prospective short-circuit current at its
point of installation.
The combination of two circuit breakers in cascading configuration is covered by the
IEC 60947-2.

Coordination between circuit breakers

The use of a protective device possessing a breaking capacity less than the
prospective short-circuit current at its installation point is permitted as long as
another device is installed upstream with at least the necessary breaking capacity.
In this case, the characteristics of the two devices must be coordinated in such a way
that the energy let through by the upstream device is not more than that which can
be withstood by the downstream device and the cables protected by these devices
without damage.
Cascading can only be checked by laboratory tests and the possible combinations
can be specified only by the circuit breaker manufacturer.

DB116529

220/240 V network downstream from a 380/415 V

network

For 1P + N or 2P circuit breakers connected between the phase and neutral on a

380/415 V network, with a TT or TNS neutral system, consult the 220/240 V
cascading table to determine cascading possibilities between upstream and
downstream circuit breakers.

Economy by means of cascading

Thanks to cascading, circuit breakers with breaking capacities less than the
prospective short-circuit current may be installed downstream from a current limiting
circuit breaker.
It follows that substantial savings can be made on downstream switchgear and
enclosures.

Cascading tables

Merlin Gerin cascading tables are:

b drawn up on the basis of calculations (comparison between the energy limited by
the upstream device and the maximum permissible thermal stress for the
downstream device)
b verified experimentally in accordance with IEC standard 60947-2.
For distribution systems with 220/240 V, 380/415 V and 440 V between phases, the
tables of the following pages indicate cascading possibilities between upstream
Compact/EasyPact and downstream Multi 9 and EasyPact circuit breakers.

Motor protection

A circuit supplying a motor may include one, two, three or four switchgear or
controlgear devices fulfilling one or more functions.
When a number of devices are used, they must be coordinated to ensure
optimum operation of the motor.
Protection of a motor circuit involves a number of parameters that depend on:
b the application (type of machine driven, operating safety, starting frequency, etc.)
b the level of service continuity imposed by the load or the application
b the applicable standards to ensure protection of life and property.
The necessary electrical functions are of very different natures:
b short circuit protection
b overload protection dedicated for motor
b control (generally with high endurance levels)
b isolation.

Protection functions
Disconnection functions:
Isolate a motor circuit prior to maintenance operations.
Short-circuit protection:
Protect the starter and the cables against major overcurrents (> 10 In).
This type of protection is provided by a circuit breaker.
DB116534

Control:
Start and stop the motor and, if applicable:
b gradual acceleration
b speed control.
Overload protection:
Protect the starter and the cables against minor overcurrents (< 10 In).
Thermal relays provide protection against this type of fault. They may be:
b integrated in the short-circuit protective device
b separate.
Additional specific protection:
b limitative fault protection (while the motor is running)
b preventive fault protection (monitoring of motor insulation with motor off).
Overloads (I < 10 In)
An overload may be caused by:
b an electrical problem, for instance on the mains (loss of a phase, voltage outside
tolerances, etc.)
b a mechanical problem, for instance excessive torque due to abnormally high
demands by the process or motor damage (bearing vibrations, etc.).
A further consequence of these two origins is excessively long starting.
Impedance short-circuit (10 < I < 50 In)
Deterioration of motor-winding insulation is the primary cause.
Short-circuit (I > 50 In)
This type of fault is relatively rare. A possible cause may be a connection error during
maintenance.
Protection against insulation faults
This type of protection may be provided by:
b a residual current device (RCD)
b an insulation monitoring device (IMD).
