3 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 5 A Circuit breakers Switch disconnectors Overview The circuit breakers consist of a - or -pole switching unit and an overcurrent release which is available with a choice of different characteristics. The switch disconnector is equipped with a switch disconnector module in place of the overcurrent release. Switching units The switching unit includes: Two VT9 -TA connecting sets for connecting busbars or cable lugs VT9-8CE phase barriers A set of installation bolts (M x 5) A conductor holder The switching unit must be fitted with an overcurrent release (circuit breaker) or a VT9 5-6DT switch disconnector module (switch disconnector) In case the circuit breaker is fed from below (input terminals,, 6; output terminals,, 5), I cu does not change. For maximum circuit breaker/switch disconnector loads in accordance with the ambient temperature, see page /. Overcurrent releases ETU LP characteristic L (lines) protecting lines with low starting currents without I r regulation ETU DP characteristic D (distribution) protecting lines and transformers ETU MP characteristic M (motor) direct protection for motors and generators suitable also for protecting lines and transformers ETU MPS characteristic M (motor) with adjustable timing selectivity direct protection for motors and generators suitable also for protecting lines and transformers enables setting time delay of independent release to,, or ms ETU DPN characteristic D (distribution) with N-pole protection protecting lines and transformers in TN-C-S and TN-S network For the description of releases see page /5. Auxiliary switches and auxiliary releases As an option, the circuit breakers can be equipped with Auxiliary switches Alarm switches Shunt release for remote tripping Undervoltage release for protecting motors and other equipment against damage in case of undervoltage. Mounting In the standard fixed-mounted design, the switching units can be mounted onto support plates. As an option, the units are available in plug-in or withdrawable versions (see page /8). Connection Main circuit Is connected, using Cu or Al busbars or cables, and possibly cables with cable lugs. For further connecting options, connecting sets can be used (see page /9). Generally, conductors from the power supply are connected to input terminals,, 5, (N) and conductors from the load to terminals,, 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 be fitted with VT9-8CE phase barriers also on the side of terminals,, 6. We recommend painting the connecting busbars. Input and output connectors/busbars must be mechanically reinforced to avoid transferring electrodynamic forces to the circuit breaker during short-circuiting. When connecting the main circuit, the dimensions of the deionization space of the circuit breaker must be observed, depending on the type of connection (see page /). Auxiliary circuits Auxiliary switches, shunt releases and undervoltage releases are connected using flexible.5... mm Cu conductors to terminals on these devices. The motorized operating mechanism and auxiliary circuits of the plug-in or withdrawable version are connected using a connector. For recommended cross-sections of cables, busbars and flexibars for fixed-mounted, plug-in and withdrawable designs, see page /. Siemens LV 6 8 /

15 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 5 A Overcurrent releases Overview The electronic overcurrent release consists of a separate and interchangeable unit, which is supplied with the VT switching unit. By exchanging the overcurrent release, the range of the rated current of the circuit breaker can be easily changed. Overcurrent releases for VT switching units are produced with current values of I n =, 6 and 5 A. The ETU LP are produced with rated currents of 6, and 5 A. The releases (including regulation of -6%) cover a current range from to 5 A. Tripping characteristics Depending upon the needs for adjusting the tripping characteristic to the protected device and to the variability of the characteristic with regard to selectivity, the following releases are available: ETU LP t L I ETU MP t NSO_5 I They have more kinds of characteristics with adjustable I r, t r and I i. ETU MPS I r L t r I i L S I I 5 ms ms t I r t r NSO_5 They have one type of characteristic and fixed-set I r and I i settings. ETU DP t I r L I I NSO_ They have more kinds of characteristics with adjustable I r, t r, I i and t v. ETU LP, DP, MPand MPs overcurrent releases are intended for -pole VT 75-.AA6-AA switching units and -pole VT 75-.AA6-AA switching units with disconnecting of the N pole. ETU DPN I sd t sd I I i L I NSO_56 They have one type of characteristic with adjustable I r and I i. I t I N I r t r I i NSO_5 They are intended for -pole VT 75-AA56-AA switching units with protected N pole. They have more characteristics with adjustable I r, t r, I i and I N. I Siemens LV 6 8 /5

16 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 5 A Overcurrent releases Function ETU LP, DP, MP and MPS- description of function Proper functioning of releases does not depend on the form of current in the main circuit. The function of the release is supported by a microprocessor, which processes a sampled signal of the power circuit and recalculates it to obtain an rms value. Therefore, the releases are suitable for protecting circuits where the sinusoidal current is distorted by high harmonics (e.g. circuits with controlled rectifiers, power factor compensators, pulse loading, and the like). All the releases protect a circuit against short-circuiting and overloading. The tripping characteristics are independent of the ambient temperature. The release is fixed to the switching unit by two bolts. The transparent cover over the adjustment controls can be sealed. Setting the tripping characteristic The tripping characteristic of the overcurrent releases is defined by standard EN For releases ETU DP, MP, MPS and DPN, the characteristic is adjusted using latched switches on the overcurrent release. A visual demonstration on setting the tripping characteristic can be found in the SIMARIS design program. 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 short-circuit protection for lines. Intentional delay in tripping of these low short-circuit currents can be used to achieve selectivity of protective devices. For MPS releases, the delay can be set at,, or ms. I is a zone of high overcurrents and includes protection against ultimate short-circuit currents. For MP releases, the time delay can be set at or 5 ms.. Dependent release (thermal) L The dependent release ETU DP is adjusted using one I r switch. The I r switch is used to adjust the rated current of the circuit breaker, with the characteristic shifting on the current axis. By means of its internal circuitry, the release is set to one type of characteristic. The dependent releases ETU MP, MPS and DPN are adjusted using two switches, I r and t r. The first (I r ) switch is used to adjust the circuit breaker s rated current. The characteristic is moved on 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 on the time axis. Using the t r switch, it is possible to set a total of 8 characteristics. For ETU MP and MPS releases there are characteristics for motor protection and characteristics for protecting lines available. Breaking times correspond with the release classes,,. By changing t r, it is possible to select the characteristic according to the required motor starting (light, medium, heavy or very heavy starting). For ETU DPN releases, there are available 8 characteristics for protecting lines or transformers. It is not possible to turn the device back on right after the dependent release has been actuated and circuit breaker tripped. The release must be allowed to cool off, because it has a thermal memory. The memory can be disabled by turning the switch from the normal T t position to the T position. The dependent release remains active, and only its thermal memory is inactivated. Switching off the thermal memory should be used only in well-justified cases, and with the knowledge that there could be rising temperature in the protected device with repeated tripping.. Delayed independent release S This release type is only in the ETU MPS overcurrent releases. The delayed independent release has the function of a delayed short-circuit release. It is used to set up a selective cascade of circuit breakers. It is set up using parameters I sd and t v. I sd is an n-multiple of current I r (I sd = n I r ). It is a short-circuit current that, within the span of I i to I i, will trip the circuit breaker with delay t v, where t v is a delay set up for switching off the release. The delayed independent release 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 v.. Independent instantaneous release (short-circuit release) I For releases ETU DP, MP and DPN, the independent instantaneous release is adjusted using one I rm switch. The I rm switch is used for setting up the short-circuit current that, upon being reached or exceeded, causes instantaneous tripping of the circuit breaker. /6 Siemens LV 6 8

17 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 5 A Overcurrent releases Tripping characteristics of ETU LP, DP, MP, MPS and DPN releases 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, before the moment when an overcurrent develops, current is flowing through the circuit breaker. Characteristics of electronic releases are independent of the ambient temperature and are plotted in a cold state. Digital releases enable simulation of a release in warm state. The tripping times become shorter 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 for 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 shorter. k [-] Decrease of tripping time with load T - When tripping from the warm state, the tripping time of the characteristic is cut short during the standstill time t u by coefficient k. Thermal standstill time of the characteristics For all overcurrent releases, the thermal standstill time is t u min.

31 VT Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 5 A Accessories and Components Motorized operating mechanism Design The motorized operating mechanism is part of circuit breaker accessories enabling you to switch the circuit breaker on and off remotely. Modular design of the operating mechanisms enables simple mounting on the circuit breaker (also additionally) after the circuit breaker accessory compartment cover is removed. The fixed operating mechanism can be sealed. VT circuit breakers with motorized operating mechanisms can be used in the most demanding industrial applications such as protection of standby sources, synchronization of two sources, etc. and for all applications for which it is necessary to ensure automated and unmanned operation of electrical equipment. The motorized operating mechanisms are equipped with spring storage mechanisms and due to accumulated energy to trip the circuit breaker, it is no problem to trip the circuit breakers within times up to 5 ms. Releasing of the storage unit and tripping of the circuit breaker is ensured by a closing coil that belongs to standard equipment of every motorized operating mechanism. The time before the circuit breaker is tripped using the operating mechanism is 8 ms. This method of tripping is suitable for controlling technological entities. When faster circuit breaker tripping is required (e.g. emergency STOP button), it is possible to use the motorized operating mechanism in combination with undervoltage release or shunt release. On the front panel of the motorized operating mechanism, there is a selector switch to select the drive modes with a possibility to indicate remotely the selector switching position. The first mode is automatic remote control (selector switch in AUTO position). This is the standard position in automatic operation. The second mode is manual control (selector switch in MANUAL position), the motorized operating mechanism does not need any voltage to perform its function. Remote switching on and off in position AUTO is carried out using pushbuttons that must be connected to the operating mechanism connector. Furthermore, this position makes it is possible to control the circuit breaker with the pushbuttons on the operating mechanism front panel. In MANUAL mode it is possible to switch on and off using the green and red pushbuttons on the front panel of the motorized operating mechanism cover. The function of the remote control button in MANUAL mode is locked up, whereas the function of the remote control button remains active for safety reasons. The motorized operating mechanism, apart from 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 overcurrent releases or auxiliary trips. Then, because of the mechanical link between the circuit breaker and the operating mechanism, a pulse will be generated to wind up the spring of the storage unit automatically. The operating mechanism can be wound up automatically, depending on the demand by the operator, by permanent closing of switch S or after the circuit breaker is checked by switching S switch on. In the second fixed position the circuit breaker is switched off and the loaded operating mechanism is ready to switch the breaker on after it has received the setting pulse. The motorized 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 storage unit by repeated rotation of the foldable handle. After the storage unit is wound up, it is possible to switch the circuit breaker on and off using the control buttons on the front panel of the operating mechanism. On the front panel, there is a storage unit status indicator indicating locally what state the operating mechanism storage is in and whether it is possible to switch the circuit breaker on. VT motorized operating mechanisms enable to obtain a storage status signal from the terminal strip also remotely. VT operating mechanisms have optional designs, alternatively with MANUAL/AUTO indication. The operating mechanism can be furnished with an electromechanical operations counter that may be installed in the operating mechanism cover or fixed beyond the circuit breaker space (e.g. in the switchgear cabinet door) or in the switchgear space using a metal holder included in the supply of external operations counter and its connecting can be done using connectors. The operating mechanism can be locked in off position using as many as three padlocks with shank diameter of maximum. mm. An VT9 -MF cover can be fitted to the turn-on switch of the operating mechanism and then sealed. The cover prevents turning on the circuit breaker from the operating mechanism panel.
