The choice of a protection device must provide the best possible continuity while also taking into account
two compulsory objectives: protecting people and protecting installations.
TECHNICAL PART
On the other hand the choice of a switching device (isolation, functional breaking, emergency breaking)
does not have this automatic protection role as its main objective.

Magnetic release
This consists of a magnetic loop whose effect
releases the lock which holds the main contacts,
thus triggering a break if there is a high overcurrent.
The response time is very short (a few hundredths
of a second). DPX MCCBs have a magnetic setting
Im (up to 10 x Ir), which can be used to set the
release value to the protection conditions of the
installation (fault current and indirect contact).
Moreover, this setting can be used to find the best
discrimination conditions between the devices.

THE RANGE
TECHNICAL PART
Circuit breakers are available in thermal
magnetic and electronic versions with nominal
currents from 16 to 1600 A and breaking
capacities from 16 to 100 kA. The main
characteristics of DPX circuit breakers are their
optimised dimensions, their ease of installation,
use and accessorisation, and their undisputed
reliability.

Depending on the model, DPX electronic devices provide additional innovative functions.
- Thermal memory: in the context of “long delay” protection, the release memorises the image of the
temperature rise produced by an overload. This “thermal memory” is refreshed regularly if no other
over-load occurs. However, if there are successive overloads, the effects are cumulative and the operating
time of the device will be proportionally reduced. Protection of the cable is thus maintained.
- Setting the neutral current on the front panel (0%, 50%, 100% of the phase current).
- Logical discrimination: a special link between two devices can be used to assign an additional 50 ms delay
to the device installed upstream in order to give the downstream device time to break the circuit.
- Load-shedding function: when a device is crossed by a current greater than 105% of Ir, it is possible, using
the output contacts, to shed the non-priority circuits.
The load shedding information is cancelled when the device load returns to less than 85% of Ir.
- Signalling the device load via LEDs on the front panel
(green: normal ; red continuous: I = 0.9 × Ir ; red flashing: I = 1.05 × Ir).
- Connector on front panel for wiring the electronic test device Cat. No. 261 99.
- Self-protection if there is a microprocessor problem.
- Device for detection of significant earth faults, with adjustment of the current Ig from 0.2 to 1 × In,
and the time Tg from 0.1 to 1 second.

SUPPLY INVERTERS
Supply inverters can be
created with DPX 160,
DPX 250, DPX 630 and
DPX 1600 devices,
using breakers or
switches in fixed or
draw-out versions,
available in 3 different
versions:
- Manual: the mounting plate, equipped with a
mechanical interlock device, prevents the
simultaneous closing of the two devices it
supports. A device can only close if the other
device is open.
- Remote control: the devices are equipped
with motor-driven control and their operation
can therefore be controlled remotely.
- Automatic: an electronic control unit
(230 VA or 24 V=) drives the inverter.

As a general rule all live conductors (phase and neutral) must be protected against overloads and short-
circuits. It is however possible to do away with this requirement for the neutral conductor in certain
configurations.

(1) In TT and TN systems, it is possible to use circuit breakers with unprotected neutral pole if the cross-section of the neutral
conductor is the same as that of the phase conductors. However, the neutral conductor must be protected if there is a risk
of it breaking upstream of the device and there is no residual current protection (TN system).
(2) In IT systems with a distributed neutral conductor, it is possible to use circuit breakers with unprotected neutral pole if a
residual current protection device, with a sensitivity of less than 15% of the current permissible in the neutral, is placed
upstream. This device must break all the poles, including the neutral. This situation should be limited to the supply of devices
which can withstand the full voltage (between phases) with no risk of fire.
78
Interruption of the neutral (by deliberate breaking or detection of overcurrent) must always lead to
TECHNICAL PART
breaking of all the live conductors. Single-pole breaking of the neutral creates an imbalance in the
voltages applied to single-phase devices supplied by a three-phase circuit.
3-phase breaking devices with neutral pole must break the neutral pole last during opening and make it
again first during closing. For this reason also it is always important to observe the N marking on
devices and not connect the neutral conductor to another pole.

Association
of protective
devices
Back-up protection is
the technique by which
the breaking capacity of
a breaker is increased by
coordinating it with another
protection device, placed
upstream.
This coordination makes it
possible to use a protection
device with a breaking
capacity which is lower than
the maximum prospective
short-circuit current at
its installation point.

BACK-UP PROTECTION
TECHNICAL PART
The breaking capacity of a protection device must
be at least equal to the maximum short-circuit Example of association
which may occur at the point at which this device
is installed.
By exception, the breaking capacity may be lower
than the maximum prospective short-circuit, as Ik max = 30 kA
long as:
- it is associated with a device upstream which has DPX 250 ER 250 A
the necessary breaking capacity at its own Breaking capacity = 50 kA
installation point
Ik max = 23 kA
- the downstream device and the trunking being
protected can withstand the power limited by the
association of the devices.
DX 40 A - C curve
Association therefore leads to substantial savings. Breaking capacity alone = 10 kA
Breaking capacity in association
The association values given in the tables on the with DPX 250 ER = 25 kA
following pages are based on laboratory tests
carried out in accordance with IEC 947-2.
In the case of single phase circuits in a 380/415
Vac system, supplied upstream by a 3-phase
circuit, it is advisable to use the association tables
for 230 Vac.

Board n°1
An association may be created on three levels
if one of the conditions below is met.
• The upstream device A must have an adequate
breaking capacity at its installation point.
Devices B and C are associated with device A.
Simply check that the association values B + A Board n°2
and C + A have the necessary breaking capacity.
In this case, there is no need to check the association
between devices B and C. B
• The association is made between successive
devices:
- Upstream device A, which has an adequate

breaking capacity at its installation point,
device C is associated with device B which is
in turn associated with device A.

The discrimination limit for the association

To have discrimination in the overload zone, the

To have discrimination in the short-circuit zone,
the ratio of the magnetic setting currents (Im)

DIRECT EFFECTS
Protection against the direct effects of lightning Lightning conductors with earthing wires
relies on catching the current and discharging it to

There are four categories of lightning conductor.

TECHNICAL PART
The electrogeometric model
After assessing the risk of a lightning stike and its
likely consequences in economic terms, the choice
of lightning catching devices (lightning conductors)
will require an implementation study specific to General principle of the electrogeometric model
each site.
In this approach, the aim will to be to check that the
lightning has a preferential tendency to strike at
precise predetermined points, not other parts of the
buildings or installations.
To achieve this, a so-called “electrogeometric” D
method is used which defines the circular zone
theoretically protected by a lightning conductor
according to the intensity of the discharge current
of the 1st arc. The higher this current, the higher

strike is possible.
108
Radiated electromagnetic field
TECHNICAL PART
The lightning discharge current, whether by direct impact or carried by a lightning conductor downcomer,
generates a field whose electrical and magnetic components reach considerable values: several kV/m and
several tens of microTeslas (µT).
This radiation is received by all the conductors, forming a more or less appropriate aerial, which becomes
the focus of the induced currents. It is particularly on the conductors which make up the wide surface area
loops that the effect of magnetic induction (field H) is predominant.
Coupling loop i
2.5 m 100 m
U
12 m 3m
The field generated by the current i (several kA) in the lightning conductor downcomer connects to the loop
formed by the conductors in the building, generating a voltage U of several kV. This phenomenon also occurs
at a lesser level when there is an impact some distance away, even several hundred metres. By way of
example, a lightning current of 10 kA at 100 m will generate an overvoltage of 600 V in a loop of 30 m2. The
same lightning current in the lightning conductor downcomer (located 3 m away) will generate an overvol-
tage of more than 15 kV. In the 1st case, the overvoltage may be absorbed without too much damage, in the
second it will certainly be destructive. This also illustrates how the presence of a lightning conductor can
only be envisaged if voltage surge protectors are installed in the installation.

Installation

Feedback
from earth
Secondary
spark-over
Close to the lightning strike, an overvoltage, said to be fed back from earth, spreads from earth to the
network, either via the installation (with destructive effects), or by spark-over in the protectors.
In this last instance, the installation is protected, but other installations supplied by the same mains supply
are not necessarily protected. Overvoltage U, which spreads, can then cause destructive secondary spark-
overs between live conductors and ground, in more distant installations where the earth is referenced to a
different potential. This type of phenomenon can be seen in installations in buildings close to a tall structure
that has been struck by lightning.
To limit the consequences of such phenomena, which are always difficult to foresee, you should:
- Equip all installations supplied by the same LV network with voltage surge protectors
- Make all bonding systems equipotential via interconnected connections. This solution can be executed on
groups of buildings (factory), but does not work in the home.
Note that the neutral conductor, regularly earthed, ensures a certain equipotentiality for the system, but this
is not extended to the installation whose earth connections are separate (TT system). From this point of view,
distribution via a TN system would be more favourable.
Finally, let us add that although they are naturally protected against direct effects, underground distribution
networks can also induce feedback from earth.

In the event of difficulty, it may be a good idea to use wide, flat conductors (insulated braids, flexible

The use of exposed conductive parts for equipotential bonding purposes for VSP must of course be
accompanied by precautions for construction and setup.
The continuity of the enclosure conductive parts means that they can be used as PE conductors but also for
connecting the VSP. It should also be noted than in addition to being easily accessible and allowing the 0.5 m
rule to be adhered to, the conductive parts of XL3 enclosures have a much lower high-frequency impedance
(typical inductance < 0.01 µH/m) than that of a conductor.
Exposed conductive parts on other enclosures than XL3 or rails, especially in aluminium, should not be used
for connnecting voltage surge protectors without checking first that they are suitable. In case of doubt, it is
then preferable to keep a wire conductor for linking the protective conductors to the terminal block or
collector.

Parallel bars
The permissible current in n bars is less than n times the permissible current in one bar.
By way of example, use n = 1.6 to 1.8 for a group of 2 bars, n = 2.2 to 2.4 for 3 bars and n = 2.7 to 2.9 for 4 bars.
The wider the bars, the more this coefficient is affected, the more difficult they are to cool and the higher the
mutual inductance effects. The permissible current density is not therefore constant: it is approximately 3 A/mm2
for small bars and drops to 1 A/mm2 for groups of large bars.
