What is cascading (or Back up Protection) ?
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 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.
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 following standards:
- IEC 60947-2 (Circuit breaker)
- IEC 60364 Clause 434.5.1 (Installation rules)
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.
