Basic Operation/Trip Method/Standards/Certification

Air Circuit Breaker is equipped with the following functions to safely use the
Basic Operation
CB wires so as to not only protect the loading part equipments, but also to
prevent accidents including fire and human damages.
Circuit Closing
A closing operation of mechanism provides the current to the load. When the current is
applied through the closing operation, some loads generate far larger inrush current
than the rated current (In). (That is, a motor becomes 7~8In for several seconds)
The closing should be operated promptly in order to prevent any damages (damages
due to Arc) due to this inrush current which is dangerous at the contact. If the circuit
breaker meets the standard, it should endure the current that is 15~20 times bigger
than the rated current and it should be opened quickly when failures occur during
closing or after closing.
Current Conducting
A current conducting within the rated current should not exceed the allowable
temperature and during an over-current conducting, the conducting should be safely
performed till the breaking time. Furthermore, if the circuit breaker is used for a
selective breaking, the downstream circuit breaker should be designed to endure a
high electromagnetic repulsion force so that it can allow a short circuit current during
the breaking time.
Circuit Opening, Current Breaking
A current breaking can be generated through an optional operation of mechanism
(through manual and remote control).
With the current conducting, the circuit breaker will be operated automatically using an
auxiliary trip device (under voltage trip device, ground trip device and etc) to open the
circuit safely.
Although the circuit breaker maintains the closing Position based on OCR when the
over-current is generated, it shall be automatically operated to open the circuit safely.
Isolation
When the circuit breaker is opened, it requires a Specific Isolation Level between the
Charge part and Discharge part.
Maximum Leakage Current Test between Input and Output under the rated voltage
(Max, Ue)
Impulse Voltage

When an over-current is generated in the above functions, there are the


Trip Method following circuit-breaking methods to apply.
Failure Breaking (Instantaneous Operation)
If an abnormal amount of current flows in the circuit due to a failure such as short-
circuit, ACB will instantly break the circuit to minimize the impact due to the failure.
This is called an instantaneous operation.
Delay Breaking
If an abnormal amount of current (for example, an inrush current of the transformer, an
inrush current of the condenser and a start electric current of the motor) flows in the
circuit, ACB maintains the current conducting state for a certain period of time and if
the abnormal current is maintained afterwards, the circuit will be broken. And, in case
of a short circuit current, the impact of the failure will be minimized during the delay
time set by customers considering the breaking time of the downstream circuit breaker
at the selective breaking. If the downstream circuit breaker fails to function and the
abnormal current is generated continuously, the circuit after the delay time will be
broken. This is called a delay breaking.
A1-09
Air Circuit Breakers

Overload Breaking (Time Delay)


If a current that exceeds the rated current flows continuously, the wire gets hot and if
neglected, it may result in fire. ACB will break the circuit before the temperature of wire
gets to a dangerous level. This is called an overload breaking.
Ground Fault Breaking
When a current flows from the circuit or charge part of load to the ground due to failures
such as contact or destruction of insulator, it is called a ground fault. When the ground
current flows, the current is induced to the neighboring cables due to an
electromagnetic induction and a dislocation climb will be generated which will impact or
even damage the other devices. If a person touches it, it may lead to casualties because
of an electric shock. To prevent these kinds of failures, the circuit is broken when the
grounding is generated and this is called a ground fault breaking.

VITZROTECH VIDER ACB is installed at the distribution line (1000V or under) to


Standards
protect the equipments by circuit-breaking under air status when fault currents
such as the over-current, short-circuit and ground fault are generated. It
prevents fire from occurring and protects people from getting hurt.

ZSI / OCR Trip Characteristic Curve

ZSI (Zone elective A Zone Selective Interlocking function is intended to protect the load
Interlocking) equipments when the fault current is generated. It minimizes the delay time
and reduces damages to the air circuit breaker and load equipments for the
safety.
An ACB that executes the ZSI outputs the ZSI signal in order for the lower level
equipment to delay the operation of the upper level equipment under a short-time
delay or a ground fault.
The OCR (Over-Current Relay) of the ACB located at the fault spot performs an
instantaneous trip without time delay to remove the fault.
The upper level ACB that received the ZSI fault signal performs an operation based
on theshort-time delay or groundfault delay time setting in the system set for
protection. However, the upper level ACB that did not receive the ZSI fault signal from
the lower level ACB will carry out an instantaneous trip without time relay.
For the ZSI to operate normally, the operating time for protection should be properly
set so that the lower level ACB precedes the upper level ACB when the over-
current/short-time/ground fault load signal is input.

In case of a Fault A
- ACB① independently performs the instantaneous trip.
In case of a Fault B
- ACB② performs the instantaneous trip and ACB① delays till the set time,
then perform the instantaneous trip.
- If ACB② cannot break the fault current (ZSI signal not output), ACB① performs
the instantaneous trip to protect the system.

Trip Alarm Contact(AL)


•When CB is tripped due to OCR (Over Current Relay), the control signal is output
and the fault information on the CB trip is provided (Auxiliary inside the CB)
•Previous CB information is output externally with the trip indicator device owing to the
fault current
•AL is operated only under the trip based on OCR and not operated when it is turned OFF
•In case of a manual reset CB, after the CB trip, the reclosing operation is done after the
AL(Alarm) switch is reset
•In case of an automatic reset CB, after the CB trip, the AL switch is reset when the remote
reset device is operated. Then, the trip alarm switch is operated during the trip operation.
