Low voltage circuit breaker Aver current release @eneral description T"e electronic selective overcurrent releases in t"e 21 series are suitable for use on a.c.circuit only and are fed by current transformers. T"ey can be used as an alternative to t"e T series t"ermo$magnetic releases. (ac" release consists of8 $ 3 current transformers mounted on t"e output terminals of t"e circuit$breaker poles ' current transformers for t"e $pole breakers if t"e neutral is to be protected or if t"e breakers are eFuipped wit" releases for eart" fault protection-G A release boH incorporating t"e power supply system : t"e protection circuits for t"e type of release c"osen and t"e control module wit" w"ic" it is possible to c"eck t"at t"e release is working properly by connecting an eHternal power supply. T"e current adIustment and time tripping devices are accessible provides a tamperproof protection to t"e adIustable controls. T"e release boH also contains t"e connector for t"e current transformer'J2- and t"e connector for t"e electromagnetic tripping device 'J2A-G A special electromagnetic tripping device '2A- w"ic" operated t"e mec"anical release unit of t"e circuit$breaker. T"ese releases "ave t"e following c"aracteristics8 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ &reaker capacity of t"e circuit$breaker remains constant even for t"e lowest release rated t"ermal currents Aperation not reFuiring any auHiliary eHternal power source as current transformers provide power for t"e release and t"e electromagnetic tripping device 5ossibility of providing eart" fault protection 5ossibility of providing neutral protection wit" automatic setting to <*K of t"e current values present on t"e p"ases 5ossibility of combining up to protective functions8 L or MG2G6 or !G@

T"e signals can be used to activate electronic devices: automatic control or signals or alternatively can be sent to a computer Modular protection units wit" wider setting ranges and more accurate selection of current and time values Test pus"$button to c"eck t"e circuit$breaker trip system. T"e test can also be made wit" t"e circuit$breaker drawn out as t"e test circuit is fed by a long life battery 'minimum < years life in test circuit is fed by a long life battery - contained inside t"e release boH 5ossibility of an instantaneous or delayed reset of t"e inverse long delay overload. T"e delayed reset simulates t"e cooling c"aracteristics of a t"ermal overcurrent device A pilot interface: type #6!: is available on reFuest and is placed between t"e level outputs and t"e switc"ed devices controlled by same. 2ee section Naccessories= T"e test apparatus type T21 is available to c"eck t"e presence of t"e logic level output signals ?< 2ymbol L '12etting values 61 . *.<$*.)$*.,$*.D$*.+$ 1.*H6t" t1 .M6%$6%T$MAJ '22 0 <.<$12 s '3-
