CONSTRUCTION

Loadline Moulded Case Circuit Breakers have precision formed moulded case and cover of high performance resin bonded thermoset material. The circuit breakers are designed to allow grouping in distribution panels or switchboards to present their operating handles and label escutcheons uniformly aligned in a single panel cut out. The switching mechanism is Quick make-Quick break type and is tripfree, i.e. the breaker trips internally even if the operating knob is held in ON position. The contact mechanism comprises of xed and moving contacts made of sintered silver alloy for reliability, long life and anti-welding properties. Arcing contacts are provided in higher frames, further increasing the contact life. The arc extinguishing device comprises of arc chutes having grid plates mounted in parallel between supports of insulating material. The arc is divided between these grid plates which helps in its fast quenching. The arc is thus conned, divided and extinguished in the arc chute. The excellent insulation between the conducting parts and better energy dissipiation after short circuit makes it possible to make the load and line connections on either side.

The tripping mechanism comprises of a bimetal and heater element for overload protection and xed & moving core for magnetic protection in each pole coupled to a single trip bar unit to avoid single phasing. The overload and magnetic setting are front adjustable on site. Thermal Magnetic Type The overload protection is provided by a combination of the heater element and the bimetal strip in each phase which activates the trip mechanism. Short Circuit protection is provided by the magnetic circuit comprising of the xed and moving core. In the event of short circuit, the moving core is attracted towards the xed core due to the high electromagnetic forces developed which actuates the trip mechanism. The xed and moving contacts of Loadline MCCBs are so designed that an electromagnetic repulsive force is developed under high currents which is sufcient to overcome the spring tension holding the moving contacts, thereby initiating the contact opening resulting into faster opening of the contacts limiting the prospective short circuit current.

Loadline DC MCCBs DC MCCBs are available in three pole version from 25A-1600A with breaking capacity of 5KA, 10KA & 20KA. The selection of the circuit breaker for DC applications depends on these criteria : Rated current of the equipment. Rated voltage, which determines the number of poles in series for breaking. For voltages upto 250V DC, two poles of the breaker are connected in series to form the positive pole and the third pole to be used as a negative pole or three poles can be used in series. The maximum short-circuit current at the point of installation, which determines the breaking capacity. The (L/R) ratio for the application should be < 15 ms.

SELECTION & APPLICATION
TRANSFORMER PROTECTION Primary side For the protection of transformer with a circuit breaker connected to the primary side (LT primary) the no load inrush current of the transformer must be considered. The peak value of the first current wave often reaches 10-15 times the rated current and may sometimes reach as high as 20-25 times. However, the transient decays very quickly (in a few m.sec.). Thus the MCCB selected should have a magnetic setting which will not be actuated by the momentary inrush current. Secondary side Loadline MCCBs can be used for protection of transformer on the LT side (secondary side) as an outgoing protective device. Ie = The rated current of the transformer is calculated as follows : kVA x 1000 Amps 3 x Ue

65

Ue is the Rated Voltage at the LT side The Breaking capacity of the breaker for protection can be calculated as : Ie Ib = x 10-3 Kiloamperes Z% Where Ib is the rated breaking capacity, Ie the rated current Z% is the percentage impedance of transformer (specified by the manufacturer)

SELECTION & APPLICATION

66

FEEDER / CABLE PROTECTION An estimation of the prospective short-circuit current (psc) in an installation is an important consideration in the selection of the appropriate protective device. The magnitude of the short-circuit current (rms value of the AC component) at a point in the installation will depend upon; (A) Prospective short-circuit current at the origin of the installation. (B) The amount of resistance in the circuit between the origin of the installation and the point at which the short circuit occurs. (C) The type of short-circuit, phase to phase or phase to earth or phase to neutral. It is possible to arrive at a maximum prospective short circuit value at the origin by taking the transformer kVA rating and its impedance and calculating from the expression : SC kA= Transformer rating (kVA)x100 3xSecondary voltage x % impedance of transformer

The values assume a symmetrical fault across the three phases. In a single circuit, for line to neutral faults, take the cable resistance value from the table and double it. The selection of Loadline MCCB for feeder /cable protection depends on the total load to be protected and the prospective short-circuit current (psc) at the point of installation. PSC at A PSC at B resistance A to B (a) PSC at C +resistance A to B +resistance B to C1 approximately 27kA 0.30m = 25kA 0.30m 10.70m 11.00m = 12kA

PSC at D +resistance A to B +resistance B to C +resistance C to D

To calculate the resistance in the LV circuit, obtain details of lengths and sizes of cables between the source of supply and the point under calculation. Using the table provided, determine the sum of cable resistances and then simply read off the estimated fault current from the relevant transformer curve on the graph.

0.30m 10.70m 46.00m (b) 57.00m = 3kA

(a) 2 cables per phase divided by 2 (b) 2 core cable, multiplied by 2 The above calculations have an inbuilt safety margin as they assume a no impedance fault condition which would not be the case in practice.

SELECTION & APPLICATION

68

MOTOR CONTROL Loadline MCCBs can be used for motor protection. Selection of MCCBs has to be done taking into consideration the starting inrush current, and the system fault levels. Further the selection is also based on type of starting, i.e. DOL or Star Delta. DOL Starting Care is to be taken to avoid nuisance tripping during starting of Squirrel Cage Motors since the inrush current will be in the order of 600 to 800% of the full load current of the motor. The overload setting is chosen such that it does not trip during starting.

Star-Delta Starting In Star Delta starting of motors, since there is a reduction in the starting current due to reduced voltage, the MCCBs do not have a problem in the overload setting. But the transient currents can go upto 12 times the rated current during change over from star to delta which will cause the instantaneous magnetic release to trip the breaker. So proper selection of magnetic pickup level is important for prevention of nuisance tripping during change over from Star to Delta. It is always recommended to select an MCCB in co-ordination with Contactor and Over Load Relay so as to have the best and optimum benefit of all the devices.

SELECTION & APPLICATION
CAPACITOR CONTROL When a capacitor circuit is opened, it exhibits characteristics It is therefore necessary to select a circuit breaker with current rating not less than 1.5 - 2.0 times the rated current of the capacitor. DC CONTROL MCCBs though not separately designed for DC applications are suitably modified to be able to operate on DC systems also upto 500V DC / 250V DC. This is achieved by modifying for: i) Current carrying capacity ii) Over current and short circuit protection iii) Short circuit breaking capacity (with L/R time constant limitations) Current Carrying Capacity The continuous current carrying capacity is generally a function limited by the temperature rise of various internal components of MCCBs. distinctly differently from inductor loads due to the effects of residual electric charge in the capacitor. The recovery voltage appears across the contacts immediately after the circuit is opened is equal to the difference between the capacitor residual voltage and supply voltage. Therefore half a cycle after the circuit opens, the voltage between the contacts of the switch rises to twice the supply voltage or higher. In a three phase circuit the recovery voltage appearing between the contacts in the first interrupted phase could rise to as high as 2.5 times the supply voltage. Unless the breaker contacts are fully open for at least cycle after the capacitor current is interrupted, restrike of arc is likely to occur. If the restrike arc is repeated, the voltage could continue to rise to the dielectric breakdown point of the capacitor. Hence, fast interrupting, quick make, quick-break circuit breakers should be used for this type of circuit. When a capacitor circuit is closed a condenser charge q = CU which corresponds to the instantaneous value U of the supply voltage at closing time, must be instantaneously supplied, causing a large inrush current to flow through it. If the capacitor circuit is closed in the voltage phase at which the inrush current is maximum, the maximum value of the inrush current is approximately, C Ip = xU L The maximum time duration during which the maximum current flows is about 0.5 ms. Selection of a MCCB for capacitor circuit duty must therefore consider the effects of higher short circuit and inrush currents. This will affect the choice of instantaneous trip current rating. In practice, an MCCB which satisfies the following equations should be chosen. Ir > 1.5 X Ic Iinst Where Ir Ic Iinst Ip : = = = = The AC rating of MCCBs is expressed as RMS value. The DC rating is Average value. The RMS and average value can be related by a Form Factor which is 1.1. Hence, an AC MCCB can be assigned a 10% higher DC current rating. But in practice the use of DC MCCB ratings are equal to AC ratings and thereby, temperature rise is restricted within limits. Overload Release & Overload Protection The overload release are generally thermal type with a BimetalHeater system. The heating effect which can be expressed by the factor integral I2t varies for AC and DC. The integral (I2t) for AC will be 1.21 times integral (I2avt) for DC, thus an AC MCCB when used in DC circuit will trip slower. For example a 100A AC MCCB when used in DC circuit for 100A will sense a 20% overload only from 133A onwards. To retain the same Overload characteristics as AC, it is important to separately calibrate the MCCBs for DC ratings and overload tripping characteristics need to be suitably modified. Short Circuit Release & Short Circuit Protection The short circuit release is actuated by the peak value of the AC sine wave. Since no such peak exists in DC, DC tripping will be slower. Hence to achieve the same short circuit pick up level in DC, the short circuit release will be calibrated specially. Short Circuit Breaking Capacity In AC the breaking of the short circuit current usually occurs within the first current zero, by the current limiting effect. No such current zero exists in DC. Arc breaking and ultimate quenching of arc depends on the rapid dissipation of the inductive Energy Li2 This energy dissipation is dependent on L/R or time constant of the circuit. The L/R values should be limited to 10-15 milli seconds to achieve satisfactory performance. This is achieved usually by splitting the DC arc voltage over 2 or 3 poles by connecting them in series, depending upon on the DC voltage.
