Tripping curves
DB124179
The following curves show the total fault current breaking time, depending on its amperage. For example: based on the curve on page 3, an iC60 circuit breaker of curve C, 20 A rating, will interrupt a current of 100 A (5 times the rated current In) in: bb 0.45 seconds at least bb 6 seconds at most. The circuit breakers tripping curves consist of two parts: bb tripping of overload protection (thermal tripping device): the higher the current, the shorter the tripping time bb tripping of short-circuit protection (magnetic tripping device): if the current exceeds the threshold of this protection device, the breaking time is less than 10 milliseconds. For short-circuit currents exceeding 20 times the rated current, the time-current curves do not give a sufficiently precise representation. The breaking of high short-circuit currents is characterized by the current limiting curves, in peak current and in energy. The total breaking time can be estimated at 5 times the value of the ratio (I2t)/()2.
min.
max.
By superimposing the curve of a circuit breaker on that of the circuit breaker installed upstream, one can check whether this combination will be discriminating in cases of overload (discrimination for all current values, up to the magnetic threshold of the upstream circuit breaker). This verification is useful when one of the two circuit breakers has adjustable thresholds; for fixed-threshold devices, this information is provided directly by the discrimination tables. To check discrimination on short circuit, the energy characteristics of the two devices must be compared.

Circuit breakers
High temperatures
bb A rise in temperature causes lowering of the thermal threshold (tripping on overload). bb Protection is still ensured: the tripping threshold remains lower than the current acceptable by the cable (Iz) bb To prevent nuisance tripping, it should be checked that this threshold remains higher than the maximum operating current (IB) of the circuit, defined by: vv the rated load currents, vv the coefficients of expansion and simultaneity of use. If the temperature is sufficiently high for the tripping threshold to become lower than the operating current IB, switchboard ventilation should be provided for. bb A fall in temperature increases the thermal tripping threshold of the circuit breaker. bb There is no risk of nuisance tripping: the threshold remains higher than the maximum operating current of the circuit (IB) demanded by the loads. bb It should be checked that the cable remains suitably protected, i.e. that its acceptable current (Iz) is higher than the values shown in the following tables (in amperes).
Low temperatures
When the ambient temperature could vary within a broad range, both these aspects must be taken into account: bb the difference between the maximum operating current of the circuit (IB) and the tripping threshold of the circuit breaker for the minimum ambient temperature, bb the difference between the strength of the cable (IZ) and the maximum tripping threshold of the circuit breaker for the maximum ambient temperature.
72
Technical Advice
bb The maximum current allowed to flow through the device depends on the ambient temperature in which it is placed. bb The ambient temperature is the temperature inside the enclosure or switchboard in which the devices are installed. bb The reference temperature is in a halftone colour for the different devices. bb When several devices operating simultaneously are mounted side by side in a small enclosure, a temperature rise in the enclosure results in a reduction in the operating current. A reduction coefficient of 0.8 will then have to be assigned to the rating (already derated, if applicable, depending on the ambient temperature). bb Example: Depending on the ambient temperature and the method of installation, the table below shows how to determine, for an iC60, the operating currents not to be exceeded for ratings 25 A, 32 A and 40 A (reference temperature 50C).

Benefits of limiting
Long installation service life
Thermal effects Lower temperature rise at the conductor level, hence increased service life for cables and all components that are not self-protected (e.g. switches, contactors, etc.) Mechanical effects Lower electrodynamic repulsion forces, hence less risk of deformation or breakage of electrical contacts and busbars. Electromagnetic effects Less interference on sensitive equipment located in the vicinity of an electric circuit.

DB125767
Cascading is a technique derived directly from current limiting: downstream of a current-limiting circuit breaker it is possible to use circuit breakers of breaking capacity lower than the prospective short-circuit current (in line with the cascading tables). The breaking capacity is heightened thanks to current limiting by the upstream device. Substantial savings can be achieved in this way on switchgear and enclosures.
The circuit breakers' current limiting capacity improves discrimination with the protection devices located upstream: this is because the required energy passing through the upstream protection device is greatly reduced and can be not enough to cause it to trip. Discrimination can thus be natural without having to install a time-delayed protection device upstream. Limited energy 100% t
Profiting from Schneider Electric's experience and expertise in the field of shortcircuit current breaking, the circuit breakers of the Acti 9 range have a top-level current limiting characteristic for modular devices. This assures them of optimal protection of the entire power distribution system.
79
Technical Advice
The current limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is reflected by 2 curves which give, as a function of the prospective short-circuit current (current which would flow in the absence of a protection device): bb the real peak current (limited) bb the thermal stress (in As), this value, multiplied by the resistance of any element through which the short-circuit current passes, gives the power dissipated by this element. The straight line "10 ms" representing the energy As of a prospective short-circuit current of a half-period (10 ms) indicates the energy that would be dissipated by the short-circuit current in the absence of limiting by the protection device (see example).

Example
Is a Cu/PVC cable of cross section 10 mm protected by a NG125L device? The above table shows that the acceptable stress is 1.32 x 106 As. Any short-circuit current at the point where a NG125L device (Icu = 25 kA) is installed will be limited, with a thermal stress of less than 2.2 x 105 As. (Curve on page <?>). The cable is therefore always protected up to the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker.

Technical advice
Direct current has been used for a long time and in many fields. It offers major advantages, in particular immunity to electrical interference. Moreover, direct-current installations are now simpler, because they benefit from the development of power supplies with electronic converters and batteries. bb Communication or measurement network: vv 48 V DC switched telephone network, vv 4-20 mA current loop. bb Electrical supply for industrial PLCs: vv PLCs and peripheral devices (24 or 48 V DC). bb Auxiliary uninterruptible direct current power supply: vv relays or electronic protection units for MV cubicles, vv switchgear opening / closing trip units, vv LV control and monitoring relays, vv indicator lights, vv circuit-breaker or on/off switch motor drives, vv power contactor coils, vv control/monitoring and supervision devices with communication that can be powered via a separate uninterruptible power supply. bb 24 to 48 V DC wind application: vv isolated homes, vv cottages, bungalows, mountain refuges, vv pumps, street lighting, vv measuring instruments, data acquisition, vv telecommunication relays, vv industrial applications.
According to the types of DC networks illustrated below, we can identify the risks to the installation and define the best means of protection.
Earthed
E D
Worst-case faults
Fault A and fault B (if only one polarity is protected) Fault B Double fault A and D or C and E
DB124236
Isc
For further information on the types of networks and the faults that characterise them, refer to the direct current circuit breaker (LV) selection guide, 220E2100.indd.
For all these configurations, we propose a single protection solution that depends only on the requirement for the nominal current In and the short-circuit current Isc at the installation point concerned. The second important point in our solution is the fact that the protection is implemented by non-polarised circuit breakers that can operate efficiently, whatever the direction of the direct current.

In direct current, inductors and capacitors do not disturb the operation of the installation in steady state. Capacitors are charged and inductors no longer oppose changes in the current. However, they create transient phenomena when the circuit opens or closes, during which time the current varies. Actual loads have both characteristics and generate oscillatory phenomena.

DB124241
An inductive load will tend to lengthen the current interrupt or establishment time, because the inductance L then opposes the change in the current (Ldi/dt). The transient phenomenon will mainly be characterised by a time constant imposed by the load and whose value corresponds approximately to the interrupt or closing time that the switchgear has to withstand. In addition, during the interrupt time, the switchgear must be able to withstand the additional energy stored in the inductor in steady state. An inductive load therefore requires particular attention with respect to its time constant. A low value (typically < 5 ms) facilitates interruption.

Capacitive load
During a closing operation, a capacitive load will cause an inrush current due to the load on the capacitor, virtually under short-circuit condition at the beginning of the phenomenon. On opening, it will tend to discharge. The time constant is generally very low (< 1 ms) and its effect is secondary with respect to the inrush current. A capacitive load will require particular attention to the inrush or discharge current surges.

Technical advice
When a short-circuit occurs across the terminals of a direct current circuit, the current increases from the operating current (< In) to the short-circuit current Isc during a time depending on the resistance R and the inductance L of the shortcircuited loop. The equation that governs the current in this loop is: U = Ri + Ldi/dt.
DB124245
A short-circuit current is established (neglecting In with respect to Isc) by the equation: i = Isc (1 - exp(-t/)), where = L/R is the time constant used to establish the short-circuit. In practice, after a time t = 3 the short-circuit is considered to be established, because the value of exp(-3) = 0.05 is negligible compared to 1. The lower the corresponding time constant (e.g. battery circuit), the faster a short-circuit is established.

Technical advice
Discrimination is a key element that must be taken into account right from the design stage of a low-voltage installation to allow continuity of service of the electrical power. Discrimination involves coordination between two circuit breakers connected in series, so that in the event of a fault, only the circuit breaker positioned immediately upstream of the fault trips. A discrimination current Is is defined as: bb I fault < Is: only D2 removes the fault, discrimination ensured, bb I fault > Is: both circuit breakers may trip, discrimination not ensured. Discrimination may be partial or total, up to the breaking capacity of the downstream circuit breaker. To ensure total discrimination, the characteristics of the upstream device must be higher than those of the downstream one. The same principles apply to designing both direct current and alternating current installations. Only the limit currents change when direct current is used. Once again, we find the same concepts of discrimination: bb total: up to the breaking capacity of the downstream device. Our tests have been performed at up to 25 kA or 50 kA depending on the breaking capacity of the devices in question. bb partial: indication of the discrimination limit current Is. Discrimination is ensured below this value; above this value, the upstream device participates in the breaking process, bb none: no discrimination ensured, the upstream and downstream circuit breakers will trip. For further information about the discrimination concept for protection devices in general, refer to technical supplement 557E4300, "Discrimination of modular circuit breakers".

As seen above, the circuit-breaker characteristics chosen depend on the type of load downstream of the installation. The rating depends on the size of the cables to be protected and the curves depend on the load inrush current. Product selection according to the load inrush current When certain "capacitive" loads are switched on, very high inrush currents appear during the first milliseconds of operation. The following graphs show the average DC non-tripping curves of our products for this time range (50 s to 10 ms).

Personal protection (earth-leakage protection) is not mandatory for this voltage range (24-48 V DC). In fact, according to the standards currently in force, the minimum ventricular fibrillation current If for human beings is in the order of 25 mA for alternating current (50 Hz), whereas for direct current, it is more than 50 mA. The table below shows the data according to the standards and conditions:

Circuit breakers
Depending on the technologies used, modular circuit breakers designed for 50/60Hz can be used at 400 Hz. To choose the performance of a modular circuit breaker: bb do not take any thermal derating into account (In at 400 Hz is equivalent to In at 50 Hz). bb increase the magnetic tripping threshold, according to the table below. bb check that the short-circuit current on the installation is less than the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker. The breaking capacity of the circuit breakers at a frequency of 400 Hz is the same as at frequencies of 50/60 Hz. This characteristic is generally complied with, due to the fact that the short-circuit current of a 400 Hz generator is relatively low. In most cases, the generator Isc does not exceed four times the rated current. Circuit breaker

Technical Advice
The residual current device trip thresholds designed for 50/60 Hz increase with the frequency, but since the human body is less sensitive to the passage of a current at 400 Hz, protection is still ensured for the users. According to the IEC 60479-2 standard, at 400 Hz the ventricular fibrillation threshold is higher by a ratio of 6 (which means that the physiological effect of a 180mA current at 400 Hz will be the same as that of a 30 mA current at 50/60 Hz).

Note: The choice of an iID residual current circuit breaker ensures protection for users at 400 Hz while ensuring good continuity of service.
At 400 Hz, the test function of residual current devices designed for 50/60 Hz is not operational due to the increase in the trip threshold.
