ABB SACE
and its commitment to protecting the environment

ABB SACE is one of the forerunners among the companies in the Group in dedicating
considerable resources towards reaching its objectives of sustainable development and
environmental protection. This is confirmed by the fact that all the company manufactu-
ring sites have been awarded ISO 9001 quality certification and most of them have also
been awarded ISO 14001 environmental management system certification. The plants
in Frosinone and Patrica have also been awarded the Quality, Environment and Safety
Integrated System certification and are certified in compliance with the BS 8800 Stan-
dards for health and safety in the workplace.

ABB SACE is actively involved in continuing the policy of improving environmental man-
agement by rationalizing the consumption of raw materials and energy, preventing pol-
lution, respecting water and air, reducing noise levels to a minimum, reducing waste
from production processes and carrying out periodic environmental checks at the main
suppliers’ premises.
By using analysis tools such as LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), from the initial design
stages ABB SACE assesses and improves the environmental performance of its pro-
ducts throughout their entire life cycle in order to guarantee maximum efficiency in tech-
nical and energy performance during operation, control and reduce environmental im-
pact in the manufacturing stage and define end-of-life procedures.

All these goals and activities are the result of a far-sightedness in adopting
ecological policies and methods of reducing environmental impact and, here too,
ABB SACE is, as already seen in the quality of its products, a leader on the Italian
company scene.

Unifix cabling system

Unifix cabling system: voltage products, both modular and moulded-case devices,
the ideal complement for the System pro M range switchboards or insulating consumer units, ensures that all devices
and accessories can be quickly selected and installed.
Unifix is the ABB cabling system which makes the work of installers
and switchboard builders easier: with its standard connectors, Unifix
effects simple, quick and safe wiring of System pro M modular
devices and SACE Isomax S1 and S2 and Tmax T1…T3 moulded-
case circuit-breakers in ArTu® switchboards and ABB consumer
units.
For this reason, it is the ideal solution for using pro M modular
products to best advantage and exploiting the fact that ABB products
for low voltage applications can be perfectly integrated whilst at the
same time guaranteeing safety and full compliance with Standards.
The system consists of three series H, L and SL. Each one is
suitable for specific applications both for the installation of devices
and installation in switchboards. In detail: N.B. The Unifix cabling system can be used with ABB SACE devices only.

Special features
The main feature of Unifix lies with the possibility of combining different
types of circuits (one-phase/three-phase/auxiliary) in a single module.

contacts in the S 941 N, S 951 N and S 971 N series breakers are equipped with a test button on the
front of the accessory which simulates the functions without acting directly on the circuit-breaker. 1

Undervoltage releases
These are used and/or to effect a positive safety emergency stop and/or to protect the load in the
event of a voltage drop (threshold between 70% and 35% of its rated value). If used for an emergency
stop, they cause undesirable tripping also for temporary microinterruptions of the voltage for a few
dozen milliseconds. ABB also makes DDA AE blocks which combine the residual current function

1 and the positive safety emergency stop without the use of an auxiliary energy source (battery) and
auxiliary circuits. The DDA AE blocks perform the functions of an undervoltage release but without
the disadvantages of an undesirable tripping .

The auxiliary contact indicates the position of the circuit-breaker contacts. When the position of the
contacts changes, whether manually or automatically, it indicates their status.
The signal contact indicates the position of the circuit-breaker after automatic release of the circuit-
breaker caused by overload or short-circuit. For manual operation, it does not trip.

Undervoltage releases
These are used to protect the load in the event of a voltage drop (between 70% and 35% of its rated
value) and/or to effect a positive safety emergency stop. If used for an emergency stop, they cause
undesirable tripping also for temporary microinterruptions of the voltage for a few dozen milliseconds.
ABB has also developed DDA AE blocks which perform the residual current function and the positive

1 safety emergency stop without use of an auxiliary energy source (battery) and auxiliary circuits. The
DDA AE blocks perform the functions of a shunt trip but without the disadvantages of an undesirable
release.

Motor operating devices


The S2-CM motor operating device allows remote activation of the opening and closing of all S 240,
S 250, S 270 and S 280 series circuit-breakers with rated currents up to 63 A.
The motor operating device is activated by a pulsing or maintained electrical command. It can be
activated locally (manually) using the toggle on the breaker. On the front of the device is the selector
1 which can be used to switch off remote control, and the device for padlocking the toggle in the OFF
position (with remote control ON/OFF selector in the OFF position).
The device also has an internal load reserve, which guarantees completion of the opening and closing
cycle even in the absence of voltage in the supply circuit.

contacts changes, whether manually or automatically, it indicates their status.


The signal contact indicates the position of the contact of the circuit-breaker after automatic release
of the circuit-breaker caused by overload or short-circuit. For manual operation, it does not trip.

The S 500 circuit-breakers have S 500-K versions with adjus-
a high breaking capacity which table thermal and S 500-KM
1 is obtained using the “double
interruption” technique.
versions with magnetic only
releasers are also available.
These circuit-breakers have a
special movable fork contact
which operates with two sepa-
rate breaking chambers for
each pole in the device.
This structure leads to a high
energy limitation capacity and,
consequently, a high breaking
capacity.
Because of the tripping speed
(less than 3 ms up to 50 kA),
the S 500 breakers offer con-
siderable protection to the
standard modular circuit-
breakers installed downstream.

TEPM01434
If they are installed downstream
of moulded-case circuit-brea-
kers, on the other hand, they
easily carry out selective coor-
dination with the upstream pro-
tection devices.
The S 500 circuit-breakers are
available in 1-2-3-4 pole ver-
sions with width equal to 1 1/2
modules per pole (27 mm), up
to a rated current of 63 A.
The time-current characteristics
available are C and B for pro-
tecting circuits in alternating
current and B for protecting cir-
cuits in direct current (S 500 UC
series).

Auxiliary/signal contacts
The auxiliary contact indicates the position of the circuit-breaker contacts. When the position of the
contacts changes, whether manually or automatically, it indicates their status.
The signal contact indicates the position of the contact after automatic release of the circuit-breaker
caused by overload or short-circuit. For manual operation, it does not trip.

Limitation of specific let-through energy


Tripping of an installation circuit by circuit-breaker when there is a short-circuit requires a certain
amount of time depending on the characteristics of the circuit-breaker and the entity of the short-
circuit current. During this period of time, some or all of the short-circuit current flows into the installation;
the parameter I2t defines the “specific let-through energy”, ie. the specific energy that the breaker
allows through when there is a short-circuit current Icc during the tripping time t.
In this way, we can determine the capacity of a circuit-breaker to limit, ie. break high currents up to
the rated breaking power of the device, by reducing the peak value of the above-mentioned currents
to a value which is considerably lower than the estimated current.
This can be achieved using mechanisms which open very rapidly and have the following advantages:
2
- they limit the thermal and dynamic effects both on the circuit-breaker and on the protected circuit;
- they reduce the dimensions of the current-limiting circuit-breaker without reducing breaking capacity;
- they considerably reduce ionized gases and sparklers emitted during the short-circuit and therefore
they avoid the danger of ignition and fires.

circuit-breakers and in particular between all of the series of modular breakers and the moulded-case
circuit-breakers Tmax. The values in the tables represent the maximum selectivity which can be obtained
between the breaker upstream and downstream, for a voltage Vn of 400 V a.c.

230V mains supply downstream of a 400V mains supply


To discover whether or not filtration is possible between devices downstream and upstream in a TT
or TNS system with a 400 V mains supply in which 1P+N breakers are installed, consult the filtration
table for 230 V supply networks.

Selective protection
Selectivity between S 9.. and S 2.. upstream and downstream modular circuit-breakers
In this case, selectivity is amperometric and so the selectivity limit is given simply by the magnetic
threshold of the upstream breaker, which is fixed. This selectivity value is obtained if a minimum ratio
of 1.6 (In upstream/In downstream > 1.6) is observed between the rated currents of the two breakers.

Example 1
Upstream circuit-breaker S 270, curve D 63 A
downstream circuit-breaker
Selectivity limit
S 240, curve C 32 A
10 In=630 A
2
Example 2
Upstream circuit-breaker S 280, curve D 50 A
downstream circuit-breaker S 941 N, curve B 10 A
Selectivity limit 10 In=500 A

Lighting circuit protection


Selection of circuit-breakers for the protection of lighting circuit and calculation
of their rated current
To select the correct circuit-breaker for use in the protection of lighting circuits you need to know the
type of load based on which you will work out the breaker’s rated current. The protection circuit
utilization current can be calculated simply starting with the rated power and the lighting voltage, or
it may be supplied directly by the device manufacturer.
Considering the utilization current, it is important to select the version of the breaker with a rated

2 current just above the value calculated, defining the cable cross-section accordingly.
The tables below show the rated current values of the circuit-breakers to be used according to the
type and power of the device connected.

- Starter dissipated power: 25% of lamp power
- Reference temperature: 30 and 40 °C according to circuit-breaker
- Power factor: lamp without capacitors cosϕ=0.6
lamp with capacitors cosϕ=0.86
Method of calculation
- IB = (PL * n°L * KST * KC) / (Un * cosϕ) where: - Un = rated voltage 230 V
- cosϕ = power factor
- PL = lamp power
- n°L = number of lamps per phase
- KST = 1.25
- KC = 1 for star connection and 1.732

Transformer protection
Insertion current
When the LV/LV transformers are powered up, very strong currents occur, which must be considered
when selecting the protective device. The peak value of the first current wave often reaches a value
between 10 and 15 times the transformer’s effective rated current.
For power ratings below 50 kVA, it may reach between 20 and 25 times the rated current. This
transient current decreases very rapidly with a time constant T varying from several ms to 10, 20 ms.

Main protection on the primary side


The tables below are the result of a set of tests on co-ordination between circuit-breakers and BT/BT
transformers. The transformers used in the tests are normalized. The table, referring to a primary
supply voltage of 230 or 400 V and to single-phase and three-phase transformers, indicate which
circuit-breaker should be used according to the transformer power rating.
The transformers considered have the primary winding outside the secondary winding.
The circuit-breakers suggested allow:
• transformer protection in the event of maximum short-circuit;
• prevention of unwanted tripping when the primary winding is powered up using
1. modular circuit-breakers with a high magnetic threshold, curve D or K
2. circuit-breakers with magnetic only releaser;
• guaranteed circuit-breaker electrical life.

Protection on the secondary side


Due to the transformer’s high insertion current, the circuit-breaker on the primary winding may not
guarantee thermal protection for the transformer and its feeder line on the primary side.
This is typical of modular circuit-breakers which must have a higher rated current than the transformers.
In such cases, in the event of a single-phase short-circuit at the transformer’s primary terminals
(minimum Icc at end of line), check that the circuit-breaker’s magnetic releaser is tripped. In the
normal application in distribution panels, this condition is always satisfied provided that the length of
the feeder lines is reduced.
The transformer can be provided with thermal protection by installing a circuit-breaker with a rated
current less than or equal to that of the transformer secondary winding immediately downstream of
the LV/LV transformer.

In lighting systems protection against overloads is not necessary if the number of light points is
clearly defined (no overloads).
Moreover, the Standard in force for these systems recommends the omission of protection against
overloads in circuits in which unwanted tripping may prove hazardous, e.g.: circuits which supply
fire-fighting equipment.

Variation in alarm thresholds according to network frequency


The circuit-breakers are calibrated for a current with a frequency range between 50 and 60 Hz.
For other frequency values, the electro-magnetic tripping current varies according to the multiplication
factor H.
100 Hz 200 Hz 400 Hz d.c.
H 1.1 1.2 1.5 1.5

For the thermal trip, on the other hand, there is no variation because it is independent of the network
frequency.
2
Applications in d.c. of standard circuit-breakers
Direct current is used because of the need for a source of energy which is able to power essential
services such as protection systems, emergency lighting, alarm systems, uninterruptible power
supplies with extreme reliability even in the absence of normal energy sources.
Storage batteries, buffer-powered from the network and installed near the users, are the safest
source of energy for powering these services.
In most cases, the rated voltage of these installations lies between 24 and 220 V; higher voltages are
not, however, excluded (even up to 1000 V).
When selecting circuit-breakers, it is important to bear in mind that leakage currents are very high
near power sources due to the low internal resistance of the batteries.
The main applications of circuit-breakers used in circuits in d.c. include:
- electric traction
- industrial plants with electrolithic processes
- units for rapid drop-out of synchronous machines.
For use in d.c., most standard circuit-breakers can be used, as long as the relevant voltage limits are
respected, as well as the special versions.
It is important to remember that the electro-magnetic trip value in d.c. is approx. 1.5-1.6 times the
corresponding value in a.c.
