18 Siemens AG 4 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 6 A Technical Information Design Circuit breakers Switch disconnectors Installation and connection Main circuit The main circuit is connected with Cu or AI busbars, cables, and possibly cables with cable lugs. For further connecting options, connecting sets can be used (see page /). Generally, conductors from the power supply are connected to input terminals,, 5, (N) and conductors from the load to terminals, 4, 6, (N). It is possible to reverse the current flow inside the unit (i. e. infeed from below) without reducing the rated short-circuit ultimate breaking capacity I cu. In case of infeed from below, the units must additionally be fitted with VT9-8CE insulating barriers on the side of terminals, 4, 6 (see pages /4 and /5). We recommend painting the connection busbars. Input and output connectors/busbars must be mechanically reinforced to avoid transferring electrodynamic forces to the circuit breaker during short-circuiting. The power circuit must be connected in such a way that the deionizing space of the circuit breaker/switch disconnector is not obstructed (see pages /4 and /5).

22 Siemens AG 4 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 6 A Technical Information - Accessories and Components Trip units Overview Trip units, -pole version Trip units are integrated in the circuit breakers. Tripping characteristics Circuit breakers are available with four types of tripping characteristics. They are designated with the letters: "L" - lines For protection of lines with low starting currents VT circuit breakers with characteristic "L" have a pre-set and fixed rated current value. The circuit breakers feature I n values in a standardized current range from 4 A to 6 A (see "Ranges of trip units and their possible settings"). Short-circuit trip units are fixed at 4 x I n. "D" - distribution For protection of lines and transformers VT circuit breakers with characteristic "D" have the option of setting to a reduced current in a range of approximately I n. The circuit breakers feature I n values in a standardized current range from 6 A to 6 A (see "Ranges of trip units and their possible settings"). The short-circuit trip unit is adjustable. Setting values are shown in the table on page /7. "M" - motor For motor protection VT circuit breakers with characteristic "M" have the option of setting a reduced current in a range of approximately I n. The circuit breakers feature I n values in a standardized series of currents from 6 A to A (see "Ranges of trip units and their possible setting"). The short-circuit trip unit is fixed at the value of x I n. See page /. Circuit breakers with characteristic "L": L I t NSO_5 "M": t I L I I r "N" - short-circuit trip unit only VT circuit breakers with characteristic "N" have a short circuit trip unit only. They feature I n values in a standardized series of currents ranging from A to 6 A. The short-circuit trip unit is adjustable. The values are shown in the table on page /7. Article Numbers The article number of a circuit breaker depends on the rated current and on the tripping characteristics. For example: Motor protection with I n = A. The article number is: VT7-DM6-AA. Setting of tripping characteristics Time-dependent trip unit (thermal) L (for circuit breakers with characteristics "D" and "M"). The time-dependent trip unit for overload protection I r (instantaneous) is adjusted in a continuous range using the I r adjustment dial on the overload trip unit. The I r adjustment range is I n. Time-independent trip unit (short-circuit trip unit) I (for circuit breakers with characteristics "D" and "N"). With an time-independent instantaneous trip unit (value of the short circuit current I i ), adjustment is possible within a continuous range. All values are shown in the table on page /7.

31 Siemens AG 4 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 6 A Technical Information - Accessories and Components Design Rotary operating mechanisms The rotary operating mechanism actuates the circuit breakers/switch disconnector when the operator turns the knob, e.g. in order to switch machines on and off. The modular concept of the operating mechanism allows simple mounting on the circuit breaker. Mounting can be done after having removed the accessory compartment cover. An attached drive can be sealed (with sealing wire). The drive and its accessories are ordered separately to match the requirements (see page /7). The rotary operating mechanism is mounted directly on the circuit breaker or switch disconnector. The coupling driver is fixed to the switchgear cabinet door and provides for degree of protection IP4 or IP66. The knob is mounted onto the rotary operating mechanism or onto the coupling driver. The extension shaft is supplied in two versions, standard (length 5 mm - can be shortened) and telescopic (adjustable length mm). It is fitted onto the rotary operating mechanism. The rotary operating mechanism makes it possible to actuate the circuit breaker: Operation from the front panel of the circuit breaker (Fig. ) VT9-HA/HB.. rotary operating mechanism + VT9-HE/HF.. knob Rotary operating mechanisms Operation through the switchgear cabinet door (Fig. ) VT9-HA/HB.. rotary operating mechanism + VT9-HJ.. extension shaft + VT9-HG/HH.. coupling driver + VT9-HE/HF.. knob Fig. : Rotary operating mechanism with extension shaft, coupling driver and knob Operation through the side wall of the switchgear cabinet (Fig. ) in left- or right-side designs of rotary operating mechanisms for lateral operation VT9-HD (right) or VT9 -HC (left) + VT9-HJ.. extension shaft + VT9-HG/HH.. coupling driver + VT9-HE/HF.. knob. Fig. : Rotary operating mechanism with knob Fig. : Lateral rotary operating mechanism with extension shaft, coupling driver and knob Enhanced safety for operator The rotary operating mechanism and knob allow operators to lock the circuit breaker into the "switched off manually" position. The rotary operating mechanism and lever can be locked with up to three padlocks with a shaft diameter up to 4 mm. Every coupling driver prevents the switchgear cabinet door from opening when the circuit breaker is switched on or if it was tripped. By means of the coupling driver it is possible to switch off this locking and to open the door. Locking of the switchgear cabinet door is also possible in the OFF mode of the circuit breaker. It is necessary to activate the locking by means of the knob on the coupling drive and to lock the hand drive arm. Two circuit breakers with rotary operating mechanism can also be provided with reciprocal mechanical interlocking or mechanical parallel switching (see page /7). Siemens LV 6 4 /5

34 Siemens AG 4 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 6 A Technical Information - Accessories and Components Design Motorized operating mechanism Motorized operating mechanism The motorized operating mechanism is an accessory to the circuit breaker/switch disconnector, by means of which it is possible to switch the circuit breaker or switch disconnector remotely on and off. The modular design of the motorized operating mechanism enables its simple attachment to the circuit breaker (also in addition to a rotary operating mechanism). The motorized operating mechanism is used for both remote and local control of VT -pole and 4-pole circuit breakers. The circuit breaker with attached motorized operating mechanism can be installed on a mounting plate or on a standard DIN mounting rail. The motorized operating mechanism is fastened by means of a bayonet mechanism to the circuit breaker. VT circuit breakers with motorized operating mechanism are intended for industrial, power engineering and infrastructure applications. The motorized operating mechanisms are for direct actuation of the circuit breaker, without a spring storage unit. The motorized operating mechanism can work in local or remote control mode. The local control mode is used, for instance, in case of loss of the control voltage. Local control of the circuit breaker is only accessible after lifting the transparent safety cover off the operating mechanism. This procedure locks the remote electrical control circuits. The lifted position of the cover can be indicated remotely. The circuit breaker is switched on and off by means of the control lever. After returning the safety cover to the original position, the operating mechanism is switched automatically into the remote control mode. After the safety cover was removed, it is possible to actuate an automatic mode selector switch. Under the transparent cover, there is a red LED. The lighting of the LED indicates a failure (failed on/off/wind-up operations). Electronic circuits of the motorized operating mechanism block erroneous control process, e.g. drive cycling after tripping of trip unit or shunt trip/undervoltage trip unit. Lateral operating mechanisms can be locked in "off position" of the circuit breaker by up to three padlocks with a shank diameter of max. 4 mm. The protective cover of the operating mechanisms can also be sealed. Motorized operating mechanism automatic operation presets The position of the main circuit breaker is indicated by the position of the circuit breaker driver lever under the transparent protective cover of the operating mechanism. The wound up position of the circuit breaker can also be signalled remotely. In the remote control mode, the circuit breaker is switched on and off by an ON and OFF pushbutton. The accessories for the motorized operating mechanism includes an VT9-MF extension cable.
