External sensors
E47477
External sensor for earth-fault protection

The sensor is used with 3P circuit breakers and the Micrologic 6.0 A control unit.
It is installed on the neutral conductor for residual type earth-fault protection.
The rating of the sensor (CT) must be compatible with the rating of the circuit
breaker:
c NS630b to NS1600 - 400/1600 CT
c NS1600b to NS2000 - 400/2000 CT
External sensor (CT)
c NS2000 to NS3200 - 1000/3200 CT.
Rectangular sensor for earth-leakage protection
The sensor is installed around the busbars (phases + neutral) to detect the zero-
056467
phase sequence current required for the earth-leakage protection.

Rectangular sensors are available in two sizes.
Inside dimensions (mm)
c 280 x 115 up to 1600 A
c 470 x 160 up to 3200 A.
External sensor for source ground return protection
The sensor is installed around the connection of the transformer neutral point to
earth and connects to the Micrologic 6.0 control unit to provide the source ground
return (SGR) protection.
External sensor for source
ground return protection Voltage measurement inputs
Voltage measurement inputs are required for earth-leakage protection.
As standard, the Micrologic 7.0 control unit is supplied by internal voltage
measurement inputs placed downstream of the pole for voltages between 100 and
690 V AC. On request, it is possible to replace the internal voltage measurement
inputs by an external connector which enables the control unit to draw power
directly from the distribution system upstream of the circuit breaker.
Long-time rating plug

Four interchangeable plugs may be used to limit the long-time setting range for
056412
higher accuracy.
As standard, control units are equipped with the 0.4 to 1 plug.
Setting ranges
Standard Ir = In x… 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 0.95 0.98 1
Low-setting option Ir = In x… 0.4 0.45 0.50 0.55 0.60 0.65 0.70 0.75 0.8
High-setting option Ir = In x… 0.80 0.82 0.85 0.88 0.90 0.92 0.95 0.98 1

Instantaneous voltage releases (MN)

The MN release instantaneously opens the circuit breaker when its supply voltage
drops to a value between 35% and 70% of its rated voltage. If the release is not
supplied, it is impossible to close the circuit breaker, either manually or electrically.
Any attempt to close the circuit breaker has no effect on the main contacts. Circuit-
breaker closing is enabled again when the supply voltage of the release returns to
85% of its rated value.

c a communication module installed on the chassis and supplied with its set of
sensors (CE, CD and CT contacts) and its kit for connection to the "device"
communication module.
Each installed device has an address that is assigned via the keypad of the control
unit (ModBus) or remotely (Batibus). The address of a withdrawable device is
assigned to the chassis which keeps the same address if the device is replaced.
Batibus "chassis" communication module Status indication by the COM option is independent of the device indication
contacts. These contacts remain available for conventional uses.
"Device" communication module
This module is independent of the control unit. Installed in the device, behind the

module.
The module connects to:
c a set of sensors that detect device status
c a set of actuators for device control.
"Chassis" communication module
Installed on the chassis, this module makes it possible to address the chassis and
to maintain the address when the circuit breaker is in the disconnected position.
The module connects to a set of sensors that detect and communicate the position
(connected, disconnected, test) of the device on the chassis.

recommendations Safety clearances
and minimum distances
Compact NS80 to 630

When installing a circuit breaker, minimum distances (safety clearances) must be
maintained between the device and panels, bars and other protection devices
installed nearby. These distances, which depend on the ultimate breaking capacity,
are defined by tests carried out in accordance with standard IEC 60947-2.
If installation conformity is not checked by type tests, it is also necessary to:
c use insulated bars for circuit-breaker connections
c block off the busbars using insulating screens.
For Compact NS80 to 630 devices, terminal shields, phase barriers and the
insulation kit are recommended and may be mandatory depending on the utilisation
voltage and the type of installation (fixed, withdrawable). (See page 147.)

calculated to resist the electrodynamic stresses exerted between the bars of each
phase during a short-circuit.

The quality of bar connections depends, among other things, on the tightening
torques used for the nuts and bolts. Over-tightening may have the same
consequences as under-tightening.
The correct tightening torques for the connection of bars to the circuit-breaker
terminals are indicated in the table below.
The values below are for copper bars and steel nuts and bolts (class 8.8).
The same values apply to AGS-T52 quality aluminium bars
(French standard NFA 02-104 and American National Standard H-35-1).

Sizing of bars
The following tables are based on the following assumptions:

c maximum permissible temperature of bars is 100 °C
c ambient temperature inside the switchboard near the device and its connections is
Ti (IEC 60947-2)
c busbars made of copper and not painted.
Note.
The values presented in the tables are the result of trials and theoretical calculations on the
basis of the assumptions mentioned above.
These tables are intended as an aid in designing connections, however, the actual values must
be confirmed by tests on the installation.

None of the control-unit protection functions require an auxiliary source. However, the 24 V DC external power supply (AD module) is
required for certain operating configurations as indicated in the table below.

Communications option no no
Fonction protection no no
Display function no (1) yes
Circuit-breaker status indications and control no no
communications bus
(1) except if current < 20% In
If the 24 V DC external power supply (AD module) is used, the maximum cable length between
the 24 V DC external power supply (G1, G2) and the Micrologic control unit (F1-, F2+) is ten
metres.
The communications bus requires its own 24 V DC power source (E1, E2). This source is not
the same as the 24 V DC external power-supply module (F1-, F2+).
The BAT battery module, mounted in series upstream of the AD module, ensures an
uninterrupted supply of power if the AD module power supply fails.

A pilot wire interconnects a number of circuit breakers equipped with Micrologic A control units,
as illustrated in the diagram above.
The control unit detecting a fault sends a signal upstream and checks for a signal arriving from
downstream. If there is a signal from downstream, the circuit breaker remains closed for the full
duration of its tripping delay. If there is no signal from downstream, the circuit breaker opens
immediately, whatever the tripping-delay setting.
Fault 1.
Only circuit breaker A detects the fault. Because it receives no signal from downstream, it
immediately opens in spite of its tripping delay set to 0.3.
Fault 2.
Circuit breakers A and B detect the fault. Circuit breaker A receives a signal from B and remains
Note. The maximum permissible distance between two closed for the full duration of its tripping delay set to 0.3. Circuit breaker B does not receive a
devices is 3000 metres and the maximum number of devices signal from downstream and opens immediately, in spite of its tripping delay set to 0.2.
