Self-resetting current limiting module

S800-SCL-SR is ABB’s innovative self-resetting current

limiting module which considerably increases the short-
circuit breaking capacity of downstream manual motor
starters and high performance MCBs

S800-SCL-SR is a self resetting current limiting module based

on the S800 technology. It limits the short-circuit current until
the downstream means of protection trips. Its current continu-
ity makes it as the ideal solution for group protection:

All parallel branches remain operative. This leads to an

expanded application range of the low voltage switchgear
whose short-circuit capabilities are usually limited.

S800-SCL-SR can be combined with S800S high perfor-

mance MCB or with manual motor starters. S800-SCL-SR
can also back up a single circuit breaker or a group of circuit
breakers or motor starters (group protection). Terminals and
outside dimensions are identical to the S800 range.

ABB already offers a 3-pole short-circuit limiter, the

S803S-SCL. Compared to the new S800S-SCL-SR it has a
toggle and therefore the possibility to trip. After tripping the
device has to be reset manually. Please check page 12 for
details.

Application

S800S-SCL-SR and S803W-SCL-SR are for high short-

circuits levels. The drawing below shows three exemplary
systems for short-circuits limitations.

The short-circuit limiter provides full selectivity for any down-

stream m ­ otor protection combination. In case of a short-
­c ircuit in one of the end circuits, the S800S-SCL-SR /
S803W-SCL-SR helps the manual ­m otor ­s tarters to break
the defect circuit without forcing the ­u pstream protection
device to trip.

In the event of a downstream short circuit occurrences the

IEC version
S800S-SCL-SR /S803W-SCL-SR will react selective to a
group of, e. g. manual motor starters, until the respective
faulty motor circuit has tripped. All other motor starters in
the group remain operative! IEC/UL version

The combination can be widely used for protection circuits in
a large variety of ABB’s business segments where high short-
circuits meet low voltage circuit breakers.

For example in:

−− MNS installation
−− Shipbuilding
−− Mining
−− Oil & Gas
−− Power generation
−− Wind Power
