Single-Phasing

• Single phasing is the opening of one phase of a three phase circuit.


Primary Single Phasing

• Primary wire broken by:• Storm - Wind - Ice - Sleet - Hail - Lightning

• Vehicle or Plane Striking Pole

• Falling Tree Limbs

• Construction Mishaps

• Primary wire burned out from short-circuit created by animals(i.e. squirrel to ground)



• Defective contacts on primary breaker - failure to make up on all 3 poles.

• Failure of 3 shot automatic reclosers to make up on all 3 poles.

• Open pole on 3Ø auto. voltage tap changer• Open winding in one phase of transformer• Primary fuse open

Secondary Single Phasing

• Damaged Motor Starter Contact - One Pole Open• Burned open overload relay (heater)• Damaged switch or circuit breaker on the main,

feeder, or branch circuit.• Open fuse or open pole in breaker on main,

feeder, or branch circuit.• Open cable or bus on secondary of transformer

terminals



• Open cable caused by overheated lug on secondary side-connection to service head.

• Open connection in wiring such as in motor junction box (caused by vibration) or any pull box

What about short circuit protection for a motor circuit?



• Short Circuit Condition

Current Source M


If the overcurrent protective devices are sized according to the maximums in NEC® 430.52, will the motor circuit components be protected from damage?


TYPE 1 PROTECTION vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION


TYPE 1 vs. TYPE 2 PROTECTION

• What is Type 1 and Type 2 Protection?• IEC 947-4-1 Standard

• Type 1 Protection(Damage)

• UL 508 Listing

• Type 2 Protection(No Damage)

• Type 2 Tables from Manufacturer



• Type 1 Protection:• “Requires that, under short-circuit conditions,

the contactor or starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and may not be suitable for further service without repair and replacement of parts.”

• Similar to UL 508 requirements



• Type 2 Protection:• “Requires that, under short-circuit conditions, the

contactor or starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and shall be suitable for further use. The risk of contact welding is recognized, in which case the manufacturer shall indicate the measure to be taken as regards the maintenance of the equipment.”


Type 2 Protection Tables



• Does NEC® require Type 2 protection?



• NEC® section 110.10: Circuit Impedance, Short-Circuit Current Ratings, and Other Characteristics. The overcurrent protective devices, the total impedance, the equipment short-circuit current ratings, and other characteristics of the circuit to be protected shall be selected and coordinated to permit the circuit-protective devices used to clear a fault to do so without extensive damage to the electrical equipment of the circuit……Listed equipment applied in accordance with their listing shall be considered to meet the requirements of this section.


TYPE 2 PROTECTION

• Why Is Total Protection Important?• Maximum Safety To Personnel And Equipment

• Minimum Cost To Stay In Service

• Maximum Productivity From The Equipment



• Overload Protection• Overload Relay

• Fuses for Backup

• Short Circuit Protection• Fuse, Circuit Breaker, MCP

• Type 2 Protection(No Damage)
