 THERMAL MAGNETIC PROTECTION
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Overload protection is provided through CT operated continuous, variable bimetallic overload
unit. By adjusting the CT tapsand varying the setting of overload unit, current setting can be
varied from approximately 25% to 100% ( For exact details, refer technical data sheet ).

SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION :

Short circuit protection is provided through an armature type direct acting magnetic release.
During short circuit fault, the armature is instantaneously attracted, in-turn tripping the ACB
through delatching of trip shaft. This design ensures faster tripping time (less than 2 cycles).
Short circuit pick up level is adjustable continuously by knobs provided on the front of the ACB.
For 4000A ACB trippping is through series trip coil & is fixed at 5 times the CT TAP set current.

TIME DELAYED SHORT CIRCUIT TRIP (OPTIONAL) :

To achive discrimination when used as an incomer, a time delayed S/C trip can be provided. This
consists of a S/C release fitted with microswitch and RS unit supplied separately. RS unit
provides the time delay and is available in two versions - with fixed time delay ( 0.04 sec. ) and
with adjustable time delay ( 0.04 to 0.46 sec. ) During fault, the S/C release operates the micro
switch activating the RS unit. The RS unit trips the ACB through the tripping coil after the set time
delay.

EARTH FAULT PROTECTION ( OPTIONAL) :

Earth Fault Protection is also offered as an optional feature. This protection is achieved through
Earth Fault ( E/F ) relay. The E/F relay senses the earth fault and gbives a trip command to the
ACB through shunt trip. The sensitivity of the E/F relay is adjustable between 10% and 40% of the
ACB rating. The E/F telay is available in both versions - 3 phase 3 wire and 3 phase 4 wire. As a
standard, LED trip indication is provided on the E/F relay.

FAULT ANALYZER :

LH series thermal magnitic ACBs upto 3200A are fitted with mechanical trip indications for
overload, phase to ground fault, two phase or two phase to ground fault and three Phase or three
Phase to ground fault. Electrical indication facility for O/L trip is also provided as standard.
Electrical indication facility for phase to ground fault, two phase or two phase to ground fault and
three phase or three phase to ground fault can be provided on request. LH 4000 ACBs are
provided with mechanical trip indications for overload, short circuit & ;facility for O/L trip
electrical indication as standard feature.
Electrical indication facility for AC under voltage trip is available on entire range of ACBs on
request.

STATIC PROTECTION
Air Circuit Breakers with static protection come with a Solid Protection Relay - The CSR. The relay
comes as an integral part of LH series ACBs from 200 Amp to 3200 Amp. and does not require any
external supply for tripping ACB during fault.
