Technology and innovation
for advanced plant engineering requirements
The constant increase in the technological and functional com-
plexity of electrical installations makes it essential for every
component - particularly those such as protection circuit-
breaker s which are crucial to safety - to offer the highest lev-
els of continuity of service and reliability combined with mini-
mal maintenance requirements.
ABB SACE L.V. has designed the new generation of SACE Emax
low voltage air circuit-breakers in line with these advanced
plant engineering requirements, and featuring high resistance
to mechanical, electrical and thermal stresses.
SACE Emax circuit-breakers represent the logical functional
complement to SACE Isomax S moulded case circuit-breakers
and have, like them, been designed for integration and perfect
co-ordination with the different lines of ABB low voltage prod-
ucts.
2
The new series
has been designed
in accordance with
the most modern
ergonomical criteria,
and the evidence
for this can be seen in the
prize awarded to the
circuit-breakers at the
Hanover Forum Design.
The design and manufacture of the new circuit-breakers fol-
low advanced ergonimical criteria, in line with the solutions
adopted for selection and use of SACE Isomax S switchgear -
entirely to the benefit of all catagories of customers and users.
Two aspects received particular attention during design: the
modular versatility and physical dimensions of the different
sizes, reduced from the six of the SACE Megamax series to
four.
SACE Emax circuit-breakers are available in five different models:
E1, E2, E3, E4 and E6, each of which benefits from the inter-
changeability of the various different versions of moving parts
(with different breaking and rated current capacities) for the
same fixed part. The rated uninterrupted currents range from
800 to 6300 A.
The breaking capacities, which have been improved in rela-
tion to the previous series, range from 40 kA to 150 kA (380/
415 V a.c.).

The principal benefits of the
new SACE Emax circuit-
breakers are as follows:
• Smaller overall dimensions
• Dimensions (height and
depth) the same across the
entire series
• Common accessories for
the entire range
• The same service releases
for a.c./d.c. applications
• Shared components - e.g.
the opening and closing
releases are the same
• Easy assembly of the cur-
rent transformers (CT)
Emax0397
Emax0399
• Accessories fitted without
need for cabling, reducing
stock levels and optimising
“logistical” costs
• Distances from exposed
conductive parts to be re-
spected zero for withdraw-
able circuit-breakers
Emax0398
Emax0346
• Simplified construction of
electrical switchboards.
Briefly, high safety, quality,
and rational design charac-
teristics combined with com-
pact dimensions are the re-
sults of the totally innovative
design criteria which lie be-
Emax0403
hind SACE Emax circuit-
breakers.

 More efficient, safer installations

SACE Emax circuit-breakers not only ensure the high level of

reliability needed to achieve the necessary service continuity,
but also offer a high level of safety for everyone operating on
the installation, both during functional customisation and
during inspection and maintenance.
The risk of carrying out incorrect and dangerous sequences
of operations is impeded by the presence of suitable locks.
Each sequence is only enabled if all the conditions which en-
sure it can be carried out safely and correctly have been re-
spected.
In any case, the state of the switchgear is automatically taken
to the highest safety level for the operator performing the
operation.
Accessories are installed from the front of the circuit-breaker
without cabling and the accessories section is separate from
the power circuit.
Emax0395

Going into greater detail, the main solutions adopted to pro-

tect operators in the various different operating conditions are
as follows:

• Double insulation, to ensure total segregation of the seatings

for accessories from the power circuit.

• Key locks or padlock devices, to control enabling of open-

ing and closing operations and/or racking in and out

• Racking out with the door closed, to enable the circuit-

breaker to be racked out and into its fixed part with the switch-
board door closed.

• Anti-insertion locks, to prevent mobile parts being inserted

in fixed parts with different rated currents or when the cir-
cuit-breaker is closed.

Emax0408
SACE Emax circuit-breakers
offer outstanding reliability in
terms of both mechanical
and electrical life, and in the
field of low voltage appara-
tus up to 6300A, represent
Emax0400
the maximum in terms of per-
formance, whilst with regard
to their structural character-
istics, their indices allow a
high level of sturdiness to be
achieved.

 “Intelligent design”

Electrical installation designers choosing the new SACE Emax manufactured a family of microprocessor-based releases,
circuit-breakers can offer a vast range of solutions that enable called SACE PR111 and PR112, that are able to provide a
them to satisfy the specific demands of every user without wide range of important dedicated functions for SACE Emax
obliging them to adapt their needs to the switchgear avail- circuit-breakers.

possibility of optimal sizing become immediately apparent.
The rated current and breaking capacity levels have been
studied to ensure optimal sizing in all plant configurations. In
addition to this, the designer and end user benefit from a fur-
ther important performance feature: the possibility of integrat-
ing SACE Emax circuit-breakers in intelligent control and su-
pervision systems.
The need to optimise the management of electrical installa-
tions is increasingly being recognised today, particularly where
power consumption, control, monitoring, diagnostics and, con-
sequently, maintenance operations are concerned.
Benefiting from the know-how acquired with its other series of
Emax0401

circuit-breakers, ABB SACE L.V. has specially designed and

Emax0336

6
 The circuit-breakers fitted with microprocessor-based releases
offer load control, self-test and information transmission ca-
pabilities in addition to the traditional protection functions, ena-
bling them to be interfaced with centralised control and su-
pervision systems. ABB SACE L.V. offers all the components
needed to build systems that are tailored to each installation,
from field units to front ends (with standard communication
protocols), from actuators to control systems.
As a result, the work of specifiers and designers is consider-
ably simplified when it comes to choosing the technical char-
acteristics and performance required.
All this is thanks to the fact that the selection criteria are com-
mon to several families of circuit-breakers and use intuitive
and easy-to-read codes and symbols.
The new circuit-breakers build on the successful experience
acquired with the SACE Isomax S family, continuing a tradition
of switchgear designed and manufactured paying particular
attention to use and user interface-related aspects, with obvi-
ous advantages in terms of ergonomics, clarity and speed of

 Design tools
Emax0483

Three highly useful work tools are avail-

Emax0410

able for designing and sizing electrical

installations (DOC software, slide rule kit,
guide to L.V. installations) which facilitate
calculations, ensure the installation con-
forms to the relevant standards and de-
crease the risks of errors. They include
information on different low voltage prod-
ucts such as: air circuit-breakers,
moulded case circuit-breakers, modular
circuit-breakers, contactors, thermal re-
lays, fuse switch-disconnectors.
The two main software products devel-
oped by ABB SACE L.V., called D.O.C.
and C.A.T.s, have been put together on a
single CD-Rom.
D.O.C. (Design Optimization & Compu-
tation) is an optimized sizing system for
Emax0409

low voltage industrial installations and is

able to recommend the best design se-
lections for cables, busbars and protec-
tion devices. It allows the design engineer
to develop clear and complete design
documentation rapidly in compliance with
the most recent standards.
The C.A.T.s (Computer Aided Technical
selection) is both an electronic catalogue
and a technical instrument for helping to
select and add accessories to each sin-
gle circuit-breaker. By means of guided
paths, the most suitable apparatus for the
requirements of individual installations can
be selected, configured and ordered. De-
tailed documentation is also available, con-
taining the instruction, maintenance and
installation manual and the technical con-
struction drawings for each product.
There are some utility programs which
also allow generation of orthogonal views,
configured in Autocad format, as well as
drawing of the trip curves of the various
releases.
Four different coloured slide rules form
the ABB kit, enabling rapid electrical in-
stallation sizing calculations. They can be
used to calculate:
• The sizing of cables and calculation of
short-circuit currents (yellow slide rule)
• Verification of cable protection against
direct contact and short-circuits (orange
slide rule)
• Selective and back-up co-ordination
(green slide rule)
• The sizing of motor lines and transformer
outgoing feeders (blue slide rule).
The calculation methods and data on the
slide rules have been obtained from the
CEI, IEC and NFC Standards in force and
from plant engineering practice.
The guide to low voltage installations
is a summary of the legal and technical
regulations based on current standards
regarding the design, sizing and instal-
lation of electrical systems. The guide
considers the user installation starting
from the power supply (MV/LV substa-
tion) in category 1 systems.

 Compact switchboards

The need to build increasingly compact

switchboards to satisfy the architectural
and technical requirements of modern
buildings while simultaneously rationalis-
ing the related construction process is fully
met by the new SACE Emax circuit-break-
ers which have a constant depth and height
from 800 through to 6300 A.
The new ABB SACE L.V. “air” circuit-
breaker makes it possible to standardise
the support structures for the circuit-break-
ers, considerably facilitating construction
of the switchboards themselves.
The reduced width of the circuit-breaker
offers the benefit of more rational use of
the space available and makes it possible
to build compact switchboards both in the
case of standard 400 mm (up to 2000 A)
and standard 1000 mm columns.
Moreover, the fact that a wide range of ter-
Emax0345

minals is available for the entire series

makes it possible to build switchboards
mounted against walls or switchboards
which can be accessed from behind with
rear connections.

Optimal warehouse management

A single range of accessories serves the

entire SACE Emax series of circuit-break-
ers. This standardisation enables optimal
warehouse management while simultane-
ously ensuring every solution possible
can be customised. Electrical distributors
and every customer who has to manage
maintenance and spare parts for large
installations consequently benefits from
simpler warehouse management.
The ease with which accessories are in-
stalled makes modular fitting operations
fast and safe, allowing even the end cus-
tomer to carry out the customising re-
quired in each different phase of the life
of an installation.
The designer’s job is made much easier
since the switchgear can be chosen well
Emax0343

in advance, preventing any overlapping

with the phase for finalising the construc-
tion details.
The current transformers for the different
rated currents of the releases are very
simple to change, meaning the end cus-
tomer can also carry out this operation.
SACE PR111 and PR112 microproces-
sor-based releases are, likewise, easy
to change and are also interchangeable.
Moreover, conversion kits are available
for the different terminal solutions and ver-
sions of the circuit-breaker, allowing a
very high level of warehouse rationalisa-
tion.
The fixed parts for withdrawable circuit-
breakers are common to each model, ir-
respective of the rated current and break-
ing capacity.

test laboratory has been accredited by
SINAL.
Commitment to care for the environment
is another priority at ABB, confirmed by
the fact that the Frosinone factory’s en-
vironmental management system has
been certified by RINA.
ABB SACE L.V., the first industrial com-
pany in the electro-mechanical sector in
Italy to obtain this, thanks to an ecology-
centred revision of its manufacturing
process, has been able to reduce its raw
material consumption and machining
scrap by 20%.

 Construction characteristics

Structure for the live parts and total segregation

The structure of the circuit-breaker, which
is made out of sheet steel, is extremely
compact and allows the dimensions to
be significantly reduced. Safety is in-
creased by adopting double insulation

between the phases.
The dimensions are characterised by
having the same height and depth for
all the circuit-breakers in each version.

9 8 7 6b 6a 5b tion to any possible delayed operations in the event of short-
5a circuits.
Current-limiting circuit-breakers E2L and E3L belong to class
A. The short-time current Icw is not very important for these
circuit-breakers and is necessarily low due to the operating
principle on which they are based. The fact that they belong to
class A does not preclude the possibility of obtaining the nec-
10 2 essary selectivity (e.g. current-type or time-type selectivity)
within the Icw rated short-time withstand current thresholds.
4 The special features of current-limiting circuit-breakers are also
11 worthy of emphasis. In fact, they allow:
3
– significant reduction of the peak current in relation to the
prospective value;
1
– drastic limitation of the specific let-through energy (see the
curves on page 49).
GSEM0098

The resultant benefits are:

– a reduction in electrodynamic stresses;
– a reduction in thermal stresses;
– savings in the sizing of cables and busbars;
Current-limiting circuit-breaker – the possibility of coordination with other circuit-breakers in
E2 L, E3 L the series for back-up protection or selectivity.

 Construction characteristics

Operating mechanism
The operating mechanism is of the stored energy type, oper-
ated using pre-charged springs.
The springs are charged manually by operating the front
lever or using a geared motor, supplied on request.
The opening springs are charged automatically during the clos-
ing operation.
With the operating mechanism fitted with shunt closing and
opening releases and the geared motor for charging the
springs, the circuit-breaker can be operated by remote con-
trol and, if required, co-ordinated by a supervision and control
system.

The following operating cycles are possible without recharg-

ing the springs:
– starting with the circuit-breaker open and the springs
charged: closing-opening
– starting with the circuit-breaker closed and the springs
charged: opening-closing-opening.
The same operating mechanism is used for the entire series
Emax0340

and is fitted with a mechanical and electrical anti-pumping

device.

 Identification of circuit-breakers

Where the dimensions of the circuit-breakers
are concerned, they are divided into four
sizes, each with the same external dimen-
sions. There is one model in each size, with
Emax0365
the exception of size 1, which has two sizes
with different electrical specifications.
The circuit-breakers are identified using the
following code:

Emax0349
Series Model Rated ultimate short-circuit Rated uninterrupted

E 08 800 A
B 40 kA / selective 12 1250 A

SACE PR111 and PR112 microprocessor-based
overcurrent releases

The overcurrent protection for alternat-

ing current installations is provided by
two types of microprocessor-based re-
leases in the SACE PR111 and PR112
series which can be installed as alter-
natives on SACE Emax circuit-breakers:
• SACE PR111 with protection functions
only
• SACE PR112 with protection, current
measuring and dialogue functions.

The protection units can be three-phase

or three-phase with neutral depending
on the type of circuit-breaker used (three
pole, three-pole with external neutral or
four pole).
The protection unit comprises:
•3 or 4 current transformers (CT) de-
pending on the number of circuit-
breaker poles; the fourth CT may be
external
• one protection unit which can be ei-
ther a SACE PR111/P or PR112/P
• an opening solenoid which acts di-
rectly on the circuit-breaker operating
mechanism (always supplied with the
protection unit).
The SACE PR112 release is available
with a dialogue unit, to be specified on
ordering, for remote control and commu-
nication with a centralised system. The
protection and dialogue unit thus takes
the code SACE PR112/PD.
The main characteristics of these micro-
processor-based releases are:
• operation without the need for an ex-

ternal power supply

• microprocessor
technology (8 bit for
SACE PR111 and 16 bit for SACE

• neutral normally set to 50% of the set- The main performances which distin-

Fixed or withdrawable
version
The fixed version of the cir-

withdrawable version. It is
recommended for installa-
tions that can tolerate serv-
ice interruptions in the event
of faults or routine mainte-
nance.
The withdrawable version of
the circuit-breaker is recom-
mended for:
– applications that can only
tolerate brief interruptions
due to faults or routine
maintenance:
– dual lines, one of which is
a standby for the other, with
a single circuit-breaker for

Installation in switchboards
Connecting the main circuit-
breaker circuits
When designing switchboards, one must
always bear in mind the problem of mak-
ing the most rational connections be-
tween the circuit-breaker and main
busbar system and the busbars to the
users. The SACE Emax series offers
switchboard experts a range of options
to satisfy different circuit-breaker con-
nection requirements.
The figures at the side show a number
of indications for terminal selection.
Degrees of protection
A number of solutions have been
adopted on SACE Emax circuit-break-
ers to achieve degree of protection IP22
for fixed or withdrawable circuit-break-
ers excluding their terminals, and IP30
for their front parts using a flange. Auto-
matic shutters have been designed for
the fixed parts of withdrawable circuit-
breakers which can be locked using
padlock devices to allow maintenance
of the load side or power-supply side of
the fixed part.

Derating in altitude

Up to a height of 2000 metres, the SACE Emax air circuit-break-
ers do not undergo any changes in their rated performance.
As the altitude increases their atmospheric properties alter in
terms of composition, dielectric capacity, cooling power and
pressure.
The performance of the circuit-breakers therefore undergoes
derating which can basically be measured by means of the
variation in significant parameters such as the maximum rated
voltage of operation and the rated uninterrupted current.
The table below shows the above-mentioned values in relation
to the altitude.

 Current-limiting and specific let-through energy
curves for circuit-breakers E2L and E3L

The current-limiting capacity of an automatic current-limiting

circuit-breaker indicates its level of ability to let through or make
a current lower than the prospective fault current in short-cir-
cuit conditions. This characteristic of an automatic current-lim-
iting circuit-breaker is represented by two different curves which
indicate the following respectively:
– the value of the specific energy “I2t” (in A2s) let through by
the circuit-breaker in relation to the uninterrupted symmetri-
cal short-circuit current.
– the peak value (in kA) of the limited current in relation to the
uninterrupted symmetrical short-circuit current.

Power supply Selective short-circuit (S)

The release does not require an external power supply, being
self-powered using the current transformers installed on the
circuit-breaker. For it to operate, it is sufficient for at least one
phase to be loaded at 18% of the rated current of the current
transformers (In).
The inverse short time-delay trip or definite short time-delay
trip short-circuit protection S can be set with two different types
of curves with a trip time that is independent of the current
(t=k) or with a constant specific let-through energy (t = k/I2).
Seven current thresholds and 4 curves indicated by the letters
A, B, C, D are available. Each curve is identified as follows:

Protection functions – for curves (t = k) by the trip time for I > I2

The SACE PR111 release offers the following protection func- – for curves t = k/I2 by the trip time for I = 8 x In (In = rated
tions: current of the current transformer).

• instantaneous short-circuit (I)
• earth fault (G). Adjustable instantaneous short-circuit (I)
See the following section for the range of settings available. Protection function I offers 7 tripping thresholds and can be
excluded (“OFF” position of the DIP switches).

Overload (L)
The inverse long time-delay trip overload protection L is of the
type I2t = k. Eight current thresholds and 4 curves indicated by
the letters A, B, C, D are available. Each curve is identified by
the trip time in relation to the current I = 6 x I1 (I1 = threshold
set).
Earth fault (G)
The inverse short time-delay trip earth fault protection G (which
can be excluded) offers 7 current thresholds and 4 curves in-
dicated by the letters A, B, C, D. Each curve is identified by
the time t4 in relation to current I4 as shown in the diagram on
the front of the release (detail 19 on page 52)

 Overcurrent protection with SACE PR112
microprocessor-based releases

SACE PR112 release

The SACE PR112 release is a sophisticated protection system
using microprocessor technology. It comprises the SACE
PR112/P protection unit and, on request, a dialogue unit. In
this case it takes the code SACE PR112/PD.
The wide range of settings makes this protection unit ideal for
general use in any type of installation.
Consulting information and programming is extremely easy us-
ing a keyboard and alphanumeric liquid crystal display.
An ammeter function and many additional functions are pro-
vided over and above the protection functions. These addi-
tional functions can be increased still further with the addition
of the dialogue and signalling unit.

 Protection against excessive temperature
The range of SACE PR112 releases allows the presence of
abnormal temperatures which could cause temporary or con-
tinuous malfunctions of the microprocessor to be signalled to
the user.
The user has the following signals or commands available:
– lighting up of the “Warning” LED when the temperature is
higher than 70 °C (temperature at which the microprocessor
is still able to operate correctly)
– lighting up of the “Emergency” LED when the temperature
is higher than 85 °C (temperature above which the micro-
processor can no longer guarantee correct operation) and,
when decided during the unit configuration stage, simulta-
neous opening of the circuit-breaker with change-over of
the relative magnetic signal.
Microprocessor self-diagnosis
The range of SACE PR112 releases contains an electronic cir-
cuit which checks operation of the microprocessor of the pro-
tection unit in real time (an additional electronic circuit is pro-
vided for the PR112/PD unit for checking the microprocessor
of the dialogue unit).
Emax0350x
In case of a temporary or continuous malfunction, the follow-
ing two signals are activated:
– lighting up of the “µP Fault” LED (when the SACE PR112/PD
unit is present, the “µP Communication Fault” LED also lights
up)
– when there is auxiliary power supply, closure of the “µP Fault”
contact.
Test functions
Following enabling on the “control” menu, the “TEST”
pushbutton on the front of the release (detail 4) allows correct
operation of the chain consisting of the microprocessor, open-
ing solenoid and circuit-breaker to be checked.
Within the control menu there is also the possibility of testing
correct operation of the display, signalling LEDs, magnetic sig-
nals and electrical contacts supplied in all the versions of the
PR112 release.
By means of the front multi-pin connector (detail 14), it is pos-
sible to apply a Test unit called SACE PR010/T which allows
the functions of the SACE PR111 and PR112 releases to be
tested and checked.

Overcurrent protection with SACE PR112
microprocessor-based releases

Communication
The SACE PR112 release with dialogue unit (PR112/PD) is able
to communicate with a monitoring and control system using
two different communication protocols: ABB Insum and LON.

Reception and transmission of information

The SACE PR112/PD release is able to receive the opening
and closing commands from the system and to actuate them
using the opening and closing releases. Furthermore, it also
receives and stores the unit configuration and programming
parameters:
– the protection function current thresholds;
– the protection function curves;
Emax0368a

– the unit configuration parameters.

Note:
While the communication parameters are necessary for remote operation,
they can only be programmed locally.
All the information can be consulted both locally and using the
supervision system.
The SACE PR112 release fitted with dialogue unit is able to
transmit the following information on the state of the circuit-
breaker remotely:
• protection parameters set
• setting of the neutral protection (50% or 100%)
• configuration setting
• current values on the three phases, on the neutral and on
the PE conductor
• state of the circuit-breaker (open/closed)
• circuit-breaker condition connected/test/withdrawn
• state of the operating mechanism springs (charged/dis-
charged)
• contact wear
• number of circuit-breaker mechanical operations
• last interrupted current
• state of protection functions
• size of current transformers
• “READ/EDIT” key position and request for local control.
Event marking and storage function (with LON
interface only)
The SACE PR112/PD release keeps its time base synchronised
with the absolute system time. Thanks to the availability of the
absolute time, it is possible to time mark the events that occur
in the circuit-breaker and in the SACE PR112 release itself. By
collecting any such events which occur in the various devices
installed in the system, the supervision and control system can
process a list of events that is important for control and analysis
of the installation. Such an analysis can, for example, be par-
ticularly useful for tracing the causes of a fault.
Events detected and time-marked:
– all protection events;
– all “WARNING” and “ALARM” signals;
– all “READ” / “EDIT” change-overs;
– all opening and closing operations.
The above information is stored locally (PR112/PD) and made
available to the supervision and control system.
Note:
The function described is available when the LON communication protocol
is being used. When the ABB Insum protocol is being used, it is only
possible to send the above information to the central supervision and
control system.
Function for storing state information
When an auxiliary power supply is provided, the SACE PR112
release is able to store the following information in a volatile
memory, making it available for consultation:
– information/data subsequent to last protection trip (currents
interrupted, type of fault, etc.);
– number of operations performed by the unit;
– contact wear;
– excessive temperature rise causing the circuit-breaker to
open.
This information can be read locally or sent by remote transfer.

64
 User interface
Four pushbuttons and an enabling key with two positions
(“READ” and “EDIT”) are used to consult the information avail-
able and the parameters set in the memory of the SACE PR112
(“READ” mode) or to program and configure the unit (“EDIT”
mode) - all the choices are made using step-by-step menus.
Indication LEDs
Two LEDs on the front panel of the release are used to indicate
pre-alarms (“WARNING”) and alarms (“ALARM”). A message
on the display always explicitly indicates the type of event
concerned.
Events indicated by the “WARNING” LED:
– unbalance between phases;
– pre-alarm for overload (I1>90%);
– first temperature threshold exceeded (70 °C);
– distorted waveform;
– zone selectivity enabled and no Vaux;
– contact wear exceeds 80%.
Events indicated by “EMERGENCY” LED:
– overload (I>105% I1), function L under timing;
– function S under timing;
– function G under timing;
– second temperature threshold exceeded (85 °C);
– contact wear 100%.
9 10 11
Emax0350
A further four LEDs (9, 10, 11) signal the following:
– “µP Fault”: indicates that the protection unit microprocessor
has a temporary (lit for a limited time) or permanent (lit for an
unlimited time) fault
– “Vaux”: indicates there is an auxiliary power supply
– “Communication NETWORK”: indicates the communication
activity between the dialogue unit and the remote supervi-
sion unit
– “Communication µP Fault”: indicates that the communica-
tion unit microprocessor has a temporary (lit for a limited
time) or permanent (lit for an unlimited time) fault
Electrical signalling contacts
Three clean contacts provided on all versions of the SACE
PR112 release enable electrical signalling of the following:
– (5 A / 240 V ac) overload alarm (I1>90%);
– (0.5 A / 125 V ac) relay tripped (closes following tripping of
any of the protection functions - L, S, I, G and excessive
temperature rise);
– microprocessor fault (can be used to directly close the cir-
cuit which powers the circuit-breaker shunt opening release).
Note:
The overload and microprocessor fault contacts to the microcontroller are
available with an external auxiliary power supply.

nals for the other functions (S, I and G) can only be carried out
locally. When the signal is not reset, actuation of the circuit- • PR112/PD (LSIG)
breaker closing command by the dialogue unit is prevented.

Load control
According to the relative trip threshold setting for overload (I1),
the SACE PR112 unit allows two trip thresholds to be defined
(fraction of I1) which, by using the SACE PR010/K signalling
unit, can enable two clean contacts with electrical character-
istics which allow one shunt closing or opening release of the
circuit-breaker to be piloted for any power supply voltage value.
These contacts make various applications possible, among
which load control, alarms, signals and electrical interlocks.
Within the sphere of load control, there are two possible con-
figurations which can be selected by the user during the SACE
PR112 parametrisation stage:
– disconnection of two loads
Emax0375

– connection and disconnection of a load

 SACE PR010/K signalling unit
Emax0376
The SACE PR010/K signalling unit is able to convert the digital
signals supplied by the SACE PR112 unit (both in the P and
PD version, with LSI or LSIG protection functions) into electri-
cal signals by means of normally open electrical contacts.
An auxiliary power supply with a voltage stabilised at 24V d.c.
(±20% with maximum ripple ±5%) and insulated from earth is
required to operate the unit.
It is connected to the Internal Bus of the protection unit by
means of a dedicated serial line accessible to the user, along
which all the information regarding the state of activation of
the protection functions is transmitted on the basis of which
the relative power contacts are closed.
The following are available in particular:
– contact for signalling overload alarm (circulating current
higher than 130% of I1)
– contact for signalling protection L tripped
– contact for signalling protection S tripped
– contact for signalling protection I tripped
– contact for signalling protection G tripped
– contact for signalling second threshold for temperature too
high exceeded (T>85°C)
– load control.
In particular, the contact for signalling that the second thresh-
old for temperature too high has been exceeded can be
configured by means of a dip switch on the unit, allowing sig-
nalling no connection with the Internal Bus as an alternative.
Two contacts available on the SACE PR010/K unit (load con-
trol) allow a circuit-breaker shunt opening or closing release to
be piloted whatever the power supply voltage of the release.
These contacts make various applications possible, among
which load control, alarms, signals and electrical interlocks.
The alarm signal remains active for the whole duration of the
overload until eventual trip of the release.
The signals for protection trips remain active during the timing
phase and stay like this even after the release trip.
A Reset pushbutton allows the state of all the signals to be
reset.
There are also two LEDs available on the unit for visual signal-
ling of the following information:
– “power ON”: auxiliary power supply present
– “TX (Int BUS)”: flashing synchronised with communication
activity with the Internal Bus

1b) SOR Test Unit

The control/monitoring SOR Test Unit allows continuity of the
different versions of SACE Emax series of shunt opening re-
leases to be checked.
Under particularly severe operating conditions or simply for
remote control of the circuit-breaker, the shunt opening release
as an accessory for the SACE Emax series of air circuit-break-
ers is widely used.

74
Maintenance of all functions of this accessory is a necessary
condition to guarantee a high level of safety in the installation.
This bring about the need to have a device available which
cyclically checks correct operation of the release, signalling
any malfunctions.
The SACE SOR Test Unit allows continuity of the shunt open-
ing release with a rated operating voltage between 24 V and
250 V (a.c. and d.c.) to be checked.
Checking of continuity is carried out cyclically with an interval
of 20s between one test and the next.

lock. The circuit-breakers can be installed vertically or hori-
zontally.
Four types of interlocks are available:

power supply)
type B: between 3 circuit-breakers (2 power supplies + emer-
gency power supply)
type C: between 3 circuit-breakers (2 power supplies + bus-

 The emergency power supply is usually
installed to take over from the normal
power supply in two cases:
– to power health and safety services
(e.g. hospital installations);
– to power parts of installations which
are essential for requirements other
than safety (e.g. continuous cycle in-
dustrial plants).
The range of accessories for SACE Emax
circuit-breakers includes solutions for a
wide variety of different plant engineer-
ing requirements.
Where devices for protection against
overcurrents and direct and indirect con-
tacts and the provisions aiming to im-
prove reliability and safety of emergency
circuits are concerned, see the relative
standards.
Switching from the normal to the emer-
gency power supply can be carried out
manually (locally or by remote control)
or automatically.
To this end, the circuit-breakers used for
switching must be fitted with the acces-
sories required to allow electric remote
control and provide the electrical and
mechanical interlocks required by the
switching logic.
These include:
– the shunt opening release
– the shunt closing release
– the motor operator
– the auxiliary contacts.
The switching function can be auto-
mated using a suitable electronically-
controlled relay circuit, to be installed by
the customer (circuit diagram supplied
by ABB SACE L.V.).
The mechanical interlocks between two
or three circuit-breakers are created us-
ing cables which are suitable both for
horizontally and vertically installed cir-
cuit-breakers.

Back-up protection Back-up protection is used in electrical installations where

Back-up protection is provided for by Standards CEI 64-8 and
IEC 364-4-437, which allow the use of a protection device with
a breaking capacity lower than the prospective short-circuit
current in the point where it is installed, on condition that there
is another protection device with the necessary breaking ca-
pacity on the supply side. In this case the characteristics of
the two devices must be coordinated in such a way that the
specific energy (I2t) which the device on the supply side lets
through is not higher than that which can be withstood without
damage by the device on the load side and by the protected
conductors.
In the diagram in the figure, circuit-breaker B, located on the
load side of circuit-breaker A, can have a lower breaking ca-
pacity than the prospective short-circuit current in the event of
a fault in “C”, if circuit-breaker A is able to satisfy both the
following conditions:
ASEM0038
continuous operation is not an essential requirement, since
the opening of the circuit-breaker on the supply side also cuts
out users which are not affected by the fault. However, the
adoption of this type of coordination allows one to limit the size
of the installation and therefore reduce costs.
Note
Back-up protection can also be implemented on more than two levels. The
figure below shows an example of coordination on three levels. In this
case the choices are correct if at least one of the two situations below is
verified:
– the circuit-breaker furthest on the supply side A is coordinated both
with circuit-breakers B and C (coordination between circuit-breakers B
and C is not necessary);
– each circuit-breaker is coordinated with the circuit-breaker immediately
on the load side of it, which is to say the circuit-breaker furthest on the
supply side A is coordinated with the next one B, which is in turn coordi-
nated with circuit-breaker C.
ASEM0039

– it has a suitable breaking capacity (greater than or equal to

the prospective short-circuit current in its point of installation Table showing coordination for back-up protection
and obviously greater than the short-circuit current in “C”)

Selective protection
Selectivity is normally actuated for tripping overcurrent pro-
tection devices in civil and industrial installations to isolate the
part affected by a fault from the system, causing only the cir-
cuit-breaker immediately on the supply side of the fault to trip.
The example in the figure below highlights the need to coordi-
nate the trip between the two circuit-breakers A and B so that
only circuit-breaker B is tripped in the event of a fault in C,
ensuring continuity of service for the rest of the system pow-
ered by circuit-breaker A.
Whereas natural selectivity within the overload current range
is normally found due to the difference between the rated cur-
rents of the user protection circuit-breaker and the main cir-
cuit-breaker on the supply side, selectivity can be obtained in
the short-circuit current range by differentiating the current
ASEM0042

values and, if necessary, the trip times.

Selectivity can be total or partial:
– total selectivity: only circuit-breaker B opens for all the cur- furthest on the supply side in the chain. The relationship be-
rent values lower than or equal to the maximum short-circuit tween the trip thresholds on the supply side and on the load
current in C; side must be greater than 1.5 in the same way as for current-
– partial selectivity: only circuit-breaker B opens for fault cur- type selectivity. In this case one must make sure that the cir-
rents below a given value, while circuit-breakers A and B cuit-breakers with delayed trip have an Icw current value that
trip for equal or higher values. is suitable for the most severe situation that can be envisaged
in the point of installation (maximum current envisaged - time-

protection devices.
All versions of the SACE PR111 and PR112 microprocessor-
based releases have protection function S and are therefore
suitable for time-type selectively (see chapter on overcurrent
releases).
ASEM0043

In principle, the following types of selectivity are possible:

Current-type selectivity, obtained by setting the instantane-
ous trip currents of the circuit-breaker chain to different values
(higher settings for the circuit-breakers on the supply side).
Mainly used in terminal distribution installations where the cir-
cuit-breakers feature instantaneous trip protection. The result
is often partial selectivity.

Time-type selectivity, obtained by intentionally incorporating

increasing time-delays in the trip times of the circuit-breakers

Zone selectivity, applicable to protection functions S and G.

This type of selectivity allows shorter trip times for the circuit-

time-type selectivity.
The word zone is used to refer to the part of an installation

Circuit-breakers with protection function installed on the load side. Selectivity is therefore ensured re-
“G” garding the residual-current releases located on the load side.

Circuit-breakers fitted with releases offering earth fault protec-
tion function “G” are usually used in MV/LV distribution substa-
tions both to protect the transformers and distribution lines.
The protection function “G” detects the residual current of the
sum of the currents detected by the current transformers on
the phases and on neutral. Its use is effective in TT, IT, and TN-
S electrical installations and, limited to the section of the in-
stallation having its neutral conductor (N) branched and sepa-
rated from conductor PE, also in TN-CS systems. Protection
function “G” is not used in TN-C systems since they provide
the neutral and protection functions using a single conductor.
The protection device thresholds and trip times can be se-
lected from a wide range, also making it easy to obtain selec-
tivity for this type of fault with regard to the protection devices
Function “G” of the SACE PR111 has constant specific let-
through energy curves (I2t = k). On the SACE PR112, curves
with trip times that are independent of the current (t = k) can
also be selected.
The figure below shows an example of one possible choice of
earth fault protection devices and their possible settings.
The protection function “G” of the circuit-breakers on the main
switchboard A has the task of enabling them to trip selectively
with respect to each other and the residual-current protection
devices located on the users of the distribution switchboards B.

CAUTION!
The table is for the conditions specified on the previous page. The
information for choosing the circuit breakers is only provided in relation to
the operating current and prospective short-circuit current. To make the
correct choice one also needs to consider other factors such as selectivity,
back-up protection, the decision to use current-limiting circuit-breakers,
etc. It is therefore essential for designers to carry out precise verification.
The types of circuit-breakers proposed are all from the SACE Emax series.
Positions marked by an asterisk (*) are suitable for other possible choices
from the moulded-case circuit-breakers in the SACE Isomax series.
One also needs to bear in mind that the short-circuit currents shown in the
table have been calculated on the assumption of infinite power on the
supply side of the transformers and without taking the impedances of the
busbars and connections to the circuit-breakers into account. The values
calculated in this way are higher than the actual values.

95
Protection of lines

One needs to know the following information to make the cor-
rect choice of circuit-breakers for switching and protecting lines:
– the operating current of the line IB
– the capacity of the cable IZ
– the prospective short-circuit current Icc in the circuit-breaker
point of installation.
See the regulations in force and the specific publications for
determining IB, Iz and Icc.
Note
For protection against indirect contact, it may be necessary to link the
setting of the short-circuit protection to the length of the line protected.
Consult the Slide rule kits and DOC software packages for the calculation
procedures required.
The wide range of settings offered by the SACE PR111 and PR112 releases
always allows the most suitable choice.
Concerning the verification required by the CEI 64-8 Standards, which
stipulate that the overload protection must have a trip current If which
ensures operation for a value less than 1.45 Iz (If < 1.45 Iz), this condition
is always satisfied since SACE Emax circuit-breakers conform to the CEI
EN 60947-2 Standards and this value is 1.3 In.

To be suitable, the circuit-breaker must satisfy the following Special attention must be devoted to the selective co-ordination of circuit-
breakers in series to limit disservice in the event of faults.
conditions:
– have a breaking capacity (Icu / Ics) greater than or equal to
the short-circuit current Icc
– have a protection release that enables its overload setting
current In (I1) to satisfy the relationship IB < In < IZ
– the specific let-through energy (I2t) let through by the circuit-
breaker must be less than or equal to that withstood by the
cable.
The CEI 64-8 Standards consider that overload protection in
the release of a level appropriate for the cable is also sufficient
to protect the cable in the event of a short circuit at the end of
the line.
Circuits for which it is recommended or necessary not to pro-
vide overload protection, or for which this protection must be
set to values higher than between IB and IZ, require one to verify
that the short-circuit current at the end of the line is higher than
the trip threshold of the short-circuit protection device so that
the latter can trip, ensuring protection. This in effect estab-
lishes the maximum lengths protected in relation to the various
different cross-sections of the cables and the various different
settings of the short-circuit protection devices.

Switching and protection of asynchronous motors
Low-voltage automatic circuit-breakers can ensure the follow-
ing functions on their own in the power supply circuits for asyn-
chronous motors:
– switching
– overload protection
– short-circuit protection

A = Circuit-breaker
B = Overload protection (inverse long time-delay trip)
C = Short-circuit protection (instantaneous)
M = Asynchronous motor
Diagram showing direct starting of asynchronous motor using only
the circuit-breaker fitted with a microprocessor-based overcurrent
release.
This solution is particularly suitable if the switching frequency
is not high, as is normally the case for large motors. In this
case, using only the circuit-breaker for the switching and pro-
tection of the motor represents a solution that is highly advan-
tageous due to its competitive cost-efficiency, reliability, ease
of installation and maintenance and compact dimensions.
The automatic circuit-breakers in the SACE Emax selective (not
current-limiting) series are able to provide the motor switching
and protection function by virtue of their high breaking capaci-
ties and the wide range of possible settings offered by the
microprocessor-based releases.
SACE Emax circuit-breakers are suitable for use with motors
with rated powers within the range 220 kW to 630 kW. Motors
with powers of up to 250 kW can also use the moulded-case
circuit-breakers in the SACE Isomax and SACE Limitor series.
Medium voltage power supplies are normally used for powers
98
above 630 kW.
The switching of three-phase asynchronous motors demands
considerable attention to the starting operation, since the cur-
rent during this phase follows the typical behaviour shown in
t [s]

the figure, which must be taken into account when choosing
the protection devices.
It is essential to calculate the typical values of the times and
currents indicated in the figure in order to choose the correct
switching and protection devices for the motor. This data is
normally provided by the manufacturer of the motor. For an
approximate estimate, consult the “Guide to the installation
and sizing of electrical installations” (by ABB SACE L.V.).
The following relationships generally apply:
- Ia = 6 ÷ 10 Ie (Ia and Ie: rms values)
- Ip = 8 ÷ 15 Ia (Ip and Ia: rms values)
Note
The current Ip is commonly calculated from its peak value (Ip = 1.4 ÷ 2.5
Ia): the corresponding rms value is obtained by dividing the result by 1.41.
The rated current of the circuit-breaker must be at least 20% – ensure the installation is protected against the overcurrents
higher than that of the motor. which might occur at any point on the load side of the cir-
cuit-breaker (including internal motor faults).
The setting of the protection releases must be chosen to:
The inverse long time-delay trip protection and instantaneous
– prevent slow operation in the motor starting phase.
short-circuit protection must be set as close as possible to the
motor starting curve without, however, interfering with it.

Caution!
The curves of the motor and releases are directly comparable in
that they both express time-current links, but have conceptually
different meanings: Note

– the motor starting curve represents the values assumed by The IEC 947-4-1 standard concerns motor starters. The following classes
the starting current moment by moment; are considered for overload protection:

tection device. class (I1 = release setting current)
The overload time-current curve is set correctly when it is imme-
diately above point A (figure alongside) which identifies the top 10A 2 < t < 10
of the rectangle with sides formed respectively by the starting 10 4 < t < 10
time “ta” and the current “Ia” thermally equivalent to the variable
starting current. The difficulty of calculating point A makes it 20 6 < t < 20
necessary to proceed by trial and error while putting the motor 30 9 < t < 30
into service.
The table specifies that the protection device must trip in a time “t” within
the limits for the class when the current flowing through the device to be
t [s]
protected is 7.2 times the release setting current (assumed to be equal to
the rated current of the motor).
The division of the overload devices into classes is closely linked to the
motor starting time: for example, a motor with a starting time of 18 sec-
onds requires a protection device in class 20.
The same standards provide specific prescriptions for the protection de-
vice in cases of three-phase operation or with the loss of a phase.

Switching and protection of asynchronous motors
Three-phase operation
The overload protection device must ensure tripping in more
than two hours with currents equal to 1.05 times the rated cur-
rent of the motor and in less than two hours with currents equal
to 1.2 times the same rated current, as indicated in the table
below:
Operation with the loss of a phase
Tripping must occur in less than two hours at 20°C in the event
of the loss of a phase when the current in the energised poles
reaches 1.15 times the rated current.
Table for choosing circuit-breakers to be used for motor
protection
The table below shows the starting characteristics for large
motors, from 220 to 630 kW, with circuit-breakers in the SACE
Emax series for switching and protecting motors in category
AC-3 - 440 V - 50 Hz.
The table shows the choice of current transformers able to
ensure a sufficiently high value for the instantaneous trip thresh-
old setting (I): in the absence of experimental data it is advis-
able to verify that the relationship between the threshold of
protection device I (I3) and the threshold of protection device
L (I1) is:
I3/I1 =12 ... 15.
The SACE PR112 microprocessor-based release conforms to
the IEC 947-4-1 standard, in particular the device ensures the
protection of class 10A, 10, 20 and 30 motors with a trip time
setting for function L at I=7.2 I1 of between 0.52s and 25s with
I1 the setting current of threshold L.
The SACE PR112 protection release is temperature-compen-
sated and unaffected by phase loss.

Benefits of earth fault protection G
Earth fault protection (G) is advisable to:
– improve safety against fire hazards
– improve protection of the motor and personnel in the event
of machine faults.
Benefits of thermal memory
The suitability of enabling the thermal memory (option offered
by SACE PR112 releases) must be evaluated in relation to the
type of user. Enabling the thermal memory (which makes the
microprocessor-based protection similar to that provided by a
thermomagnetic device) increases the protection level of the
motor in the event of restarting after tripping due to an overload.
Use of the undervoltage release
The undervoltage protection device in control systems for asyn-
chronous motors demands particular attention, performing,
amongst other things, two important functions:
– it prevents simultaneous restarting of all the motors on resto-
ration of the power supply, with the risk of causing the entire
installation to go out of service by tripping the main circuit-
breaker overcurrent protection devices
– it prevents restarting of the motor without a control signal,
which could cause a hazard for maintenance personnel or
damage to the processing cycle.

Incompatibility
The circuits shown in the following figures cannot be provided on the same circuit-breaker at
the same time: (2 - 3)
(4 - 5)
(6 - 7)
(22 - 41 - 42)
(31 - 51)
(51 - 52)

Notes
A) The circuit-breaker is only fitted with the applications specified in the ABB SACE L.V. order
acknowledgement.
B) The undervoltage release is supplied for operation using a power supply branched on the
supply side of the circuit-breaker or from an independent source. The circuit-breaker can
only close when the release is energised (there is a mechanical lock on closing).
If the same power supply is used for the closing and undervoltage releases and one wants
automatic closing of the circuit-breaker on return of the auxiliary power supply, it is neces-
sary to insert a 30 millisecond delay between the undervoltage release accept signal and
energisation of the closing release. This can be obtained using a circuit outside the circuit-
breaker which comprises a permanently closed contact, the contact indicated in figure (12)
and a time-delay relay.
C) For fixed circuit-breakers with current transformers on the neutral conductors outside the
circuit-breakers, the terminals of transformer TI/N must be short-circuited when one wants
to remove the circuit-breaker.
D) Connect contact S33M/2 shown in Fig. (11), one of the make contacts and one of the break
contacts of the circuit-breaker shown in Fig. (21) and one of the S75I contacts shown in Fig.
(31) or (51) as shown in Fig. (42).
On fixed circuit-breakers, connect terminal XV-K14 directly to terminal XV-K16 (contact S75I
does not exist).
E) See the following documents on how to connect the EIA RS485 serial line:
– examples of EIA RS485 serial communication distribution = 401517
– prescriptions for laying EIA RS485 serial communication cable = 601823.
F) Auxiliary voltage Uaux. is necessary to guarantee that the following functions of SACE
PR112/P releases will operate correctly even without self-supply (primary currents lower
than 0.28 In):
– current measurement
– protection against earth fault and relative signals
– K51/µp and K51/pL signals
The auxiliary voltage Uaux. is always necessary to guarantee correct operation of the dia-
logue unit (for SACE PR112/PD release only).
The presence of a primary current > 0.28 In on at least one phase fitted with current trans-
former guarantees the correct operation of all protection and measurement functions.
G) Earth fault protection is available with the PR112/P and PR112/PD release by means of a
current transformer located on the conductor connecting the star centre of the MV/LV trans-
former. The connection between terminals 1 and 2 of the TI/O current transformer and poles
T5 and T6 of connector X must be made with a two-pole shielded and corded ABB SACE
L.V. type T54602 cable with a length not exceeding 5 m. The shield must be earthed on the
circuit-breaker side.
