5 Introduction CSA requires that all CSA listed panelboards and switchboards are marked with a maximum short circuit current rating. This rating represents the maximum fault current, which the bus structure and overcurrent devices can withstand during a bolted fault situation. There are two systems of short circuit current protection available: A fully rated system, or A series rated system In a Fully Rated System, the interrupting rating of all devices matches or exceeds the system available fault level at every point in the distribution system. The main advantage of this type of system is that it provides the most robust form of protection and its application is straightforward. The only disadvantage is that it is the more expensive of the two alternatives. The alternative is to use a Series Rated System. This type of system permits the use of downstream devices having lower interrupting ratings than the available fault current when protected by specific upstream devices. The upstream device must have an interrupting rating equal to or greater than the available fault current. In addition, each specific combination of upstream and downstream devices must be tested and approved by CSA at the fault level in question. The principal advantage of this type of system is that it can lower the overall equipment cost. The main disadvantage is that its application can be confusing for the specifying engineer, the installer, and the end-user with a higher probability of error than in the fully rated system. Note that there is no difference with regard to circuit protection and continuity when comparing series rated and fully rated systems. Although the upstream and downstream devices have different interrupting ratings, they both have the same time-current trip characteristic. Whether the downstream device is fully rated or series rated, coordination and selectivity remain the same. 4
6 Federal Pioneer Series Ratings Series ratings work on the principle of adding impedance into the faulted circuit. In a major fault situation, both the upstream and the downstream devices will open. The simultaneous opening of both devices introduces impedance into the circuit, which reduces the let-through energy to a value that can be safely cleared. It is this added impedance that allows a lower rated device to be safely used in situations where a higher fault current is available. However, the let-through energy cannot be accurately calculated by theory. Therefore, the manufacturer must specifically test each combination. A CSA representative must witness each of these tests and each safe combination must be clearly identified on the end use, downstream equipment to help prevent misapplication of an added device later on by the end user. Series ratings with Federal Pioneer equipment include Horizon molded case circuit breakers, fuses (R, J, and T), as well as NA/NB/NC type circuit breakers. Series rating applications are generally only used for 600A and lower feeder levels. It cannot be over emphasized that great care must be taken by the designer, the installer, the inspector, and later on by the end user to confirm that the correct devices have been chosen to ensure the equipment can safely withstand a bolted fault situation. 5
7 Series Rated Panelboard Labels Downstream panelboards installed with branch circuit breakers that are used in series rating applications must be clearly labeled to indicate the following: panelboard type operating voltage available fault level fully rated integral main or upstream device type approved lower rated branch breaker type Replacement of breakers in series rated panelboards must be based on breakers listed on the panelboard series rating label. These specific breaker combinations are based on approved test results. Careful attention must be given to these labels.

Sample Label for NBLP Panelboard 6
8 Series Rating Application The following steps are used to correctly choose the appropriate series rating combination: Step 1: Gather the appropriate information System operating voltage: Fault current available: Amperage of upstream device: Amperage of downstream devices: Step 2: Determine the type of downstream panelboard Step 3: Based on the system operating voltage and branch amperages required, pick one of the following Federal Pioneer products: Stab-lok pg. 10 Meter Centre pg. 11 NBC pg. 12 NBLP pg. 12 NBDP pg. 13 NHC pg. 14 NHDP pg. 15 CDP pg. 16 a) Go to the appropriate table on the page given in Step 2 above. b) Using the Voltage and Max. Fault Level columns, find the rows that equal the system voltage and have a fault level greater than or equal to the available fault current as determined in Step 1. c) Locate the Upstream Fuse column amperage. d) Proceed vertically down to find the intersection with the Fault Available row to determine appropriate upstream fuse. e) Note that only the branch breakers listed in the Branch Breakers column in the intersecting row are acceptable for series rating. 7
9 Series Rating Example The figure below shows a typical application of series ratings. In this case a type switchboard is located quite close to a transformer and there is a very large available fault current (65kA). The best solution here is to use QMQB fusible switches in the switchboard which have an I.C. rating of 200 ka. However, a 200A lighting panelboard with circuit breakers is required downstream. Using breakers with an interrupting capacity of 600V would be very expensive and would require substantially more wall space. In this case we will use series ratings with a NHDP panelboard to lower the cost and space requirements. 8
10 Series Rating Example (con t) Using the worksheet provided, Step 1: Gather the appropriate information System operating voltage: 347/600V Fault current available: 65,000A Amperage of upstream device: _200A Amperage of downstream devices: 15-30A, 1P; A, 2P, 3P Step 2: Determine the type of downstream panelboard Step 3: Since we are looking for a 200A, 600V lighting panelboard, the NHDP panelboard makes the most sense. Loadcentre pg. 10 Meter Centre pg. 11 NBC pg. 12 NBLP pg. 12 NBDP pg. 13 NHC pg. 14 NHDP pg. 15 CDP pg. 16 a) Go to the table on the top of page 14 (refer to figure 2 below). b) We find the horizontal row by locating 600V and 100kA (which is the next highest value than the required 65kA). c) We find the vertical column by locating 200A as the upstream fuse amperage. d) By cross referencing the column and the row, we find that either a 200A type J or type T fuse is acceptable in the QMQB upstream. e) The intersecting row also tells us that any of the CE-B or CE-E type circuit breakers are acceptable in combination with this fuse.
