MOUNTING

Distribute weight of the equipment uniformly over a rigid mounting surface (such as crossbeams or a metal floor).

The mounting plate should be perfectly flat. This eliminates any risk of deformation which could interfere with correct operation of the circuit breaker.

Cable Connection

It is essential that mechanical stresses are not applied to the circuit breaker terminal pads if a cable connection is used. Vertical terminal pads are recommended, and should be installed as indicated below.

• With bus bar extensions:

— if the circuit has only a single cable, use method (A).

— if the circuit has several cables, use method similar to (B).

• In all cases, the same general rules apply for cables that apply for bus bars:

— position cable ends correctly before the bolts are inserted, and

— attach cables securely to framework (C).

\


Distribute weight over a rigid mounting surface.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in equipment damage. Figure 19: Weight Distribution on Mounting Plate

Bus Bar ConnectionBus bar dimensions shown in Table 6, “Bus Bars” have been extrapolated from test data based on UL® 891. They should be used only as a guide and not replace industrial experience or a temperature rise test.

Correct clamping of bus bars depends on, among other things, the torque used to tighten the nuts and bolts. Excessive torque may cause the same problems as insufficient torque.

The bus bars should be adjusted to ensure that the mounting holes (A, see Figure 21, page 15) are aligned with the terminal pads before the bolts are inserted. The bus bar is held by support (B) which is attached to the framework of the switchboard, so that the terminal pads do not have to support the weight of the bus bar. Dimension (C) must be maintained (Table 7, next page) to withstand the electrodynamic stresses between phases in the event of a short circuit.

48049-071-03 MASTERPACT® MP, MF and MC Circuit Breakers01/2002 Section 2—Operation


SECTION 2— OPERATION

DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING INSTRUCTIONS. The circuit breaker has four drawout positions and can be operated in all four

positions. The circuit breaker is captive in all positions except WITHDRAWN.

A closed circuit breaker is automatically opened prior to being connected or disconnected during a racking in or racking out operation.

Connection or disconnection of the circuit breaker requires insertion of the racking crank. Insertion of the racking crank can be prevented by the following stationary assembly accessories:

• Padlock

• Key lock

• Racking interlock

Disconnecting and connecting instructions are summarized on the label provided with the installation instructions. The label must be affixed to the door of the switchboard.

• In the CONNECTED position, the primary and secondary disconnecting terminals are engaged, and the circuit breaker is ready for service.

• In the TEST position, the primary terminals are disengaged, however, control contacts are connected to permit operation of the circuit breaker. The TEST position is used for testing circuit breaker operation and control system functions. In this position, the circuit breaker is not suitable for internal inspection or any maintenance function.

• In the DISCONNECTED position, the primary and secondary disconnect terminals are disengaged and separated by a safe distance from the corresponding stationary terminals.

• In the WITHDRAWN position, both primary and secondary contacts are disconnected. The circuit breaker may be removed for complete accessibility.

When a racking crank remains inserted or a circuit breaker is not completely disconnected, the extraction of the right rail is prevented.

Disconnecting Instructions

If the circuit breaker is not opened before disconnecting, it will open automatically during disconnection.

1. Remove the racking crank from its storage hole, insert it into the racking slot, and engage the mechanism.

In the case of a racking interlock, press the “compartment door closed” sensor located at the front of the drawout mechanism to simulate a closed door.

2. To reach the DISCONNECTED position, turn the racking crank counterclockwise until first the TEST, and then DISCONNECTED indication are shown on the position indicator.

3. Remove the racking crank and insert it into the storage hole.

If the racking crank is not removed, the right rail will not fully extend.

4. Using the two extension rail handles, pull the circuit breaker out.

5. Remove the circuit breaker using one of the lifting methods explained in Handling, page 9.

Installing the Circuit Breaker in the Stationary Assembly

1. Pull out the two extension rails by their handles.

When either the racking crank remains inserted in the racking slot or the circuit breaker is not fully disconnected, extraction of the right extension rail is not possible.

2. Install the circuit breaker onto both extension rails, being sure that the two circuit breaker supports located on either side are fully engaged in the rail slots. Refer to Handling, page 9, for methods of lifting the circuit breaker.

3. To move the circuit breaker from the WITHDRAWN position to the DISCONNECTED position, push the extension rail handles into the stationary assembly until they stop.

0631

3268


Do not let the forks of a fork lift protrude past the rear of the circuit breaker.

Do not press on the control unit while pushing the circuit breaker into the stationary assembly.


0631

3268

06313268



Connecting Instructions

1. Insert and engage racking crank into the racking slot.

NOTE: This procedure is possible only if:

— circuit breaker is in DISCONNECTED position,

— drawout mechanism padlocks have been removed,

— key interlock has been unlocked and

— compartment door is closed.

In case of racking interlock, press the “compartment door closed” sensor located at the drawout mechanism to simulate a closed door.

2. Turn the racking crank clockwise until the CONNECTED position is reached on the position indicator. Continue cranking until two “click” sounds are heard indicating the circuit breaker is locked in the connected position.

As the CONNECTED position is neared, more effort will be required to turn the crank.

3. Remove the racking crank and insert it back into the storage hole.

OPERATING

Charging Instructions All basic circuit breaker and drawout operations can be performed from the front of the circuit breaker. Suitable electrical and mechanical interlocks are provided to prevent incorrect operation of the circuit breaker. To manually charge an electrically- or manually-operated circuit breaker, push or pull down on the charging handle, six full strokes should be used. When the spring is fully charged, the yellow “charged” indicator will appear in the stored-energy window on the circuit breaker front cover, the handle stops, and it will return to normal position when released.

Closing Instructions All that is required to close the circuit breaker locally is to push the mechanical push ON button. Pre-charged circuit breakers may be closed remotely via a spring-released solenoid which is standard for electrically operated circuit breakers and optional for manually-operated circuit breakers. Before attempting to close the circuit breaker locally, the stored-energy indicator window must show a yellow “charged.''

Circuit breaker can be closed only if:

• It is opened

• It is charged

• Pop-out type fault indicator is correctly reset

• No remote opening order is intended.

The closing coil (XF) withstands a continuous voltage, providing anti-pumping function. If the circuit breaker is not ready to close when the closing order is intended, inhibit it and try again as soon as the circuit breaker is ready to close. To inhibit the anti-pumping function, wire in series the ready-to-close switch (terminals 251-252) with the closing coil.

Opening Instructions Opening the circuit breaker locally is accomplished by pushing the mechanical push OFF button on the circuit breaker front cover. Circuit breakers may be opened remotely via either a shunt trip or an undervoltage trip device depending upon the application requirements.

Resetting InstructionsThe mechanical fault indicator (push to reset button) extends to indicate that an overcurrent has occurred and prevents closure of the circuit breaker. Reset by pushing button in.

LOCKING

Locking by Key Interlock

This locking can be in DISCONNECTED position or in all positions: CONNECTED, TEST and DISCONNECTED (upon request).

Figure 23: Locking by Key Interlock (VSKC)

Locking in the DISCONNECTED position:

1. Disconnect the circuit breaker,

2. insert key and turn counterclockwise and

3. remove the key.

OFF

3272


Resetting the circuit breaker with an existing overcurrent or ground-fault condition can result in destructive arcing. Be sure any existing faults are cleared prior to resetting.

Locking by Padlock Figure 24: Locking by Padlock (VBP)

Prevent access to: push OFF (switch open) or push ON (switch close) or both push OFF and push ON buttons of the circuit breaker by attaching a padlock.

Figure 25: Locking by Padlock Device (Standard)

This locking prevents insertion of the racking crank and racking the circuit breaker into its stationary assembly.

Figure 26: Locking by Padlocking Device

Locking by Door Interlock Figure 27: Locking by Door Interlock (VDP)

The door interlock prevents the door from opening when the circuit breaker is in the CONNECTED and TEST positions.

The hook can be mounted on either side. To change hook location:

Spring Interlock Figure 28: Spring Charged Interlock

Before pulling out the circuit breaker, discharge the spring by pressing the push ON button, then the push OFF button.

When the closing springs are charged, this interlock prevents the circuit breaker from being disconnected by latching it in the stationary assembly. Use of this locking method is not suitable with an undervoltage trip device.

CONTROL UNIT OPTIONS

Pre-trip and Overload Indication OptionThe pre-trip and overload indication is standard with all control units except STR 18 M. The overload indicator is a light-emitting diode (LED) which is:

• On when the current exceeds 90% of the current setting.

• Flashing on overload when current exceeds 105–120% of current setting.

The pre-trip alarm switch is a contact (LR1–LR2) which closes when the circuit breaker is in the overload zone. It opens if the load decreases below the overload zone or if the circuit breaker trips.

For wiring diagram, see page 46.

When a dc power source is used, power has to be temporarily disconnected to reset the optical triac contacts.

Thermal Memory Limitation Thermal memory is standard on the STR 38 S and STR 58 U trip units. The thermal memory function remembers the thermal heating from each time the pickup setting is exceeded.

It operates:

• Before tripping on long-time and ground-fault protection (if provided).

• After tripping on long-time protection only; the time-constant depends on the internal temperature of the circuit breaker.

Any temporary overload generates an overheating value, which is stored. A series of temporary overloads will be integrated into this overheating value. Storing of this value results in reduced tripping time so the reaction of the trip unit will be closer to the real heating seen by the system. The internal temperature rise of the circuit breaker is measured by thermal resistors. The cooling time constant of the memory depends on the over-temperature condition. The standard version of the control unit STR 58 is fitted with a min/max position switch.The min position cancels the thermal memory and must only be used in emergencies where reclosing on a fault is essential.WARNING

HAZARD OF PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

Use “min” position only for emergency, when reclosing on fault is absolutely necessary.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in serious personal injury or equipment damage.

Fault Indication OptionThree light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate separately long-time, short-time/instantaneous and ground-fault trip. A flat push button allows resetting of the indicator after tripping.

A separate power supply is required to maintain the fault indication after the circuit breaker trips. Two options are offered:

• Connecting a reliable 24 Vdc control voltage on F1-F2. Auxiliary power module is used for other voltages. When the control source is unreliable, a bettery pack (BAT) is added to power module.

• From a built-in battery module. When no external control source is available, a built-in battery module may be ordered (option PIL). This module integrates battery testing and indicator resetting buttons.

Battery Option

Load Monitoring OptionThe option R provides two independant static contacts which operate when the current exceeds adjustable pickup limits.

• When the current exceeds the limit Ic1 (or Ic2) the contact C-R1 (or C-R2) closes, following an inverse time characteristic a.

• When the current drops below the limit Ic1 (or Ic2) the contact C-R1 (or C-R2) opens with constant time delay (10 seconds) b.

Turns off after two minutes (if internal battery power supply).

Call it back. then reset it.



Segregated Alarm Switch OptionThis switch works like the standard overcurrent trip switch (SDE) except a selector switch on the control unit is used to choose the type of fault which will operate the contact: overload, short-circuit, ground-fault or any combination of these types. This option can be used in addition to the SDE switch for remote signaling of particular types of faults.

A flat push button allows resetting of the indicator after tripping.

Ground-fault Protection Option

Use 24 Vdc module when circuit breaker has ground-fault trip unit and when load is less than 20% of sensor or ground-fault pick-up is set in the red* (lower) zone.

Zone-selective Interlocking OptionOption Z on the STR 58 U trip unit provides selective interlocking of short-time or ground-fault tripping.A control wire links several trip units in the distribution network, as shown in the figure below.In the event of a fault, the trip unit will obey the pre-set delay only if receiving a signal from the downstream unit. If not receiving a signal, tripping will be instantaneous (time delay corresponding to 0.1 setting of short-time protection).• The fault is cleared instantaneously by the nearest circuit breaker.

• Thermal stresses (I²t) in the network are minimized, without any affect on the correct time delay coordination in the installation.

NOTE: On drawout circuit breakers, terminals are delivered with “in” terminals jumpered. Remove the jumper when interlocking with a downstream circuit breaker.

— The MASTERPACT® circuit breaker may also be interlocked with COMPACT® CK type molded case circuit breakers with zone-selective interlocking option.

— Do not ground.Fault 1

Circuit breaker (A) will clear the fault instantaneously, regardless of its time delay setting.

Fault 2

Circuit breaker (B) will inform upstream circuit breaker (A) that it is clearing the fault so that circuit breaker (A) does not trip instantaneously. Circuit breaker (A) will trip at the end of its time delay setting if the fault is not cleared during this time.

Transmit Data from Trip Unit OptionThe DIGIPACT® connections communicate over MODBUS™ (J Bus) and require the STR 58 U control unit with option C (communications) and modules:

• DC 150: Data concentrator

• SC150: Product indication and control interface

STACKING CONFIGURATIONS The following table shows some possible circuit breaker stacking configurations. These examples apply when the circuit breaker is used either as a main, a tie or a feeder circuit breaker.

The depth of the circuit breaker zone (14.25 in. [362 mm]) is equal to the depth of the circuit breaker compartment.

• NEC 380-8 requires all switches and circuit breakers used as switches to be located so that they may be operated from a readily accessible location. They shall be installed so that the center of the switch or circuit breaker operating handle grip, when in its highest position, will not be more than 6.5 ft. (1.98 m) above the floor or working platform.

POWER DISSIPATION

These values were obtained by extensive heat run testing and represent the total heating effect rather than the heating caused by I2r losses alone.

RESISTANCE

ALTITUDE CORRECTION FACTORS

When applying circuit breakers at altitudes great than 6600 ft. (2000 m), their voltage and continuous current ratings must be modified. Breaking capacities remain unchanged.
