18 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 6 A Technical Infmation - Accessies and Components Trip units Siemens AG 4 Trip units ETU LP, DP, MP and MPS - description of function Proper functioning of trip units does not depend on the current wavefm in the main circuit. The function of the trip unit is suppted by a microprocess, which processes a sampled signal of the main circuit and recalculates it to obtain an rms value. Therefe, the trip units are suitable f protecting circuits where the sinusoidal current is distted by high harmonics (e.g. circuits with controlled rectifiers, power fact compensats, pulse loading, and the like). All the trip units protect a circuit against sht-circuiting and overloading. Tripping characteristic of the trip units is independent of the ambient temperature. The trip unit is attached to the switching unit by two bolts. The translucent cover over the adjustment controls can be sealed (with sealing wire). Setting the tripping characteristics The tripping characteristic of the trip units is defined by standard EN F trip units ETU DP, MP, MPS and DPN, the characteristic is adjusted with latched switches located on the trip unit. A visual demonstration on setting the tripping characteristic is available in the SIMARIS design software (Tool f Dimensioning Electrical Power Distribution). L is a zone of low overcurrents and includes the area of thermal protection. S is a zone of medium overcurrents and includes long-distance sht-circuit protection f lines. Intentional delay in tripping of these low sht-circuit currents can be used to achieve selectivity of protective devices. F ETU MPS trip units, the delay can be set at,, ms. I is a zone of high overcurrents and includes protection against ultimate sht-circuit currents. F ETU MP trip units, the time delay can be set at 5 ms. ETU MP and MPS Tripping Adjust - Release Class M A M8 M5 M5. Time-dependent trip unit (thermal) L The time-dependent trip unit ETU DP is adjusted using one I r switch. The I r switch adjusts the circuit breaker s rated current, with the characteristic shifting on the current axis. The trip unit is set to one type of characteristic. The time-dependent trip units ETU MP, MPS and DPN are adjusted with two switches, I r and t r. The first ( I r ) switch adjusts the circuit breaker s rated current. The characteristic moves along the current axis. By turning the other switch (t r ), the time is adjusted after which the circuit breaker will trip while passing through 7. I r. The tripping characteristic thus moves along the time axis. Using the t r switch, it is possible to set a total of 8 characteristics. ETU MP and MPS trip units have 4 characteristics f mot protection and 4 characteristics f protecting lines. Breaking times crespond to trip unit classes A,,,. By changing t r, it is possible to select the trip unit characteristic accding to the required mot starting characteristic (light, medium, heavy very heavy starting). ETU DPN trip units have 8 characteristics f protecting lines transfmers. It is not possible to turn the circuit breaker back on immediately after the time-dependent trip unit has been actuated and the circuit breaker has tripped. The trip unit must be allowed to cool off (it has a thermal memy). The thermal memy can be disabled by turning the switch from the nmal "T t " position to the "T " position. In the "T " position the time-dependent trip unit remains active, and only its thermal memy is deactivated. Switching off the thermal memy should be used only in well-justified cases, and with the knowledge that there could be rising temperature in the protected device, causing repeated tripping.. Delayed time-independent trip unit S This trip unit characteristic is available only in ETU MPS trip units. It is used to set up a selective cascade of circuit breakers. It is set up using parameters I sd and t sd. I sd is an n-multiple of current I r (I sd = n I r ). I sd is a sht-circuit current that, within the span of I i to I i, will trip the circuit breaker with delay t sd, where t sd is a delay set up f switching off the trip unit. The delayed timeindependent trip unit actuates the circuit breaker if the current in the circuit reaches at least the preset n-multiple and lasts at least the preset delay time t sd.. Time-independent instantaneous trip unit (sht-circuit trip unit) I F trip units ETU DP, MP and MPS, the time-independent instantaneous trip unit is adjusted with the I i switch. The I i switch is used f setting up the sht-circuit current that, when reached exceeded, causes instantaneous tripping of the circuit breaker. /8 Siemens LV 6 4

19 Siemens AG 4 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 6 A Technical Infmation - Accessies and Components Trip units Tripping characteristics of ETU LP, DP, MP, MPS and DPN trip units with load The tripping characteristic from the cold state indicates the tripping times during which it is assumed that, up to the moment when an overcurrent develops, no current is flowing through the circuit breaker. The tripping characteristic tripped from warm state indicates the tripping times during which it is assumed that, befe the moment when an overcurrent develops, current is flowing through the circuit breaker. Characteristics of electronic trip units are independent of the ambient temperature and are plotted in a cold state. Digital trip units enable simulation of tripping in warm state. The tripping times become shter in a steady state, as shown in the following diagram. The steady state is a period during which the characteristic does not change. If the circuit breaker is loaded with a reduced current f at least minutes, the tripping times will be cut by a half. If the load is less than 7% of I r, the tripping time does not become shter. k [-]..8 NSO_55 Trip units ETU LP - Lines protection Provides protection f lines with low starting currents The VT9..-6AB trip unit is intended f the VT76-.AA6-AA and VT76-.AA46-AA switching units. The LP trip unit has a thermal memy that cannot be disabled. The rated currents of the trip units are given by their article numbers and crespond to a standardized series of currents (see specifications table). The sht-circuit trip unit is fixedset at 4 I n. One of the advantages of the LP trip unit is its simplicity, because it does not require any adjustment. Therefe, it is intended f less complicated applications.

Control voltage is not needed. The circuit breaker can be switched on using the green switch on button and switched off using the red switch off button on the front part of the drive cover. Electric switch on is blocked. Electric switch off is functional. The accumulation of energy can be done by means of hinged lever. Possibility to indicate remotely the state of the AUTO/MANUAL switch. In MANUAL mode it is possible to switch on and off with the green and red pushbuttons located on the front panel of the motized operating mechanism cover. The function of the remote control button in MANUAL mode is locked out, whereas the function of the remote control button remains active f safety reasons. The motized operating mechanism, as opposed to the circuit breaker, recognizes only two fixed positions. In the first position the circuit breaker is. When the circuit breaker is tripped in AUTO mode by the trip unit shunt/undervoltage trip units, then because of mechanical link between the circuit breaker and the mot mechanism, a pulse will be generated to automatically wind up the spring of the stage unit. The mot mechanism can be wound up automatically by permanent closing switch S. In the second fixed position the circuit breaker is switched off and the loaded drive is ready to switch the breaker on after it has received the setting pulse. The motized operating mechanism makes it possible to control the circuit breaker after the loss of control voltage. In MAN- UAL and AUTO modes, it is possible to wind up the stage unit by repeated rotation of the foldable handle. After charging the spring mechanism with spring energy, it is possible to switch the circuit breaker on and off with the control buttons located on the front panel of the mot mechanism. The front panel incpates a stage unit status indicat to indicate what state the VT mot mechanism unit stage is in and whether it is possible to switch the circuit breaker on. The VT mot mechanism is also able to remotely indicate the stage status. A cresponding signal is issued to the terminal strip. VT mot mechanism have optional designs, alternatively with MANUAL/AUTO indication. The motized operating mechanism can be furnished with an electromechanical operations counter that may be installed in the drive cover outside of the circuit breaker (e.g. in the switchgear do). A metal holder included in the scope of supply of the external operations counter. Connecting is facilitated with connects. The motized operating mechanism can be locked in off position using as many as three padlocks with shank diameter max. 4. mm. A VT9-MF cover can be attached to the - switch of the motized operating mechanism, and then sealed with sealing wire. The cover prevents turning on the circuit breaker from the drive panel. Extension cable VT9-MF has a connect on one side that connects to the connect located on the mot mechanism and conducts on the other side that connect, f example, to a terminal block. Front panel state indicating device of the sted energy signals the state of mot drive stage devices. The state can be signalled from a distance.
