  8. Safety and reliability • Reduced, simple maintenance; • Double insulation from the front face; • Positive contact indication; • Auxiliary devices can be fitted on site without adjustment • A trip interlock ensures that the circuit breaker is open during connection and disconnection • Connection to top or bottom terminal • Fully tropicalised as standard

  9. Stored energy operating mechanism • Masterpact circuit breakers are operated via a stored energy mechanism for instantaneous opening and closing. • The mechanism is charged either manually or electrically. • Closing and opening operations can be initiated either from the local push buttons on the circuit breaker front face, or by remote control.

  10. Other possibilities • Fixed circuit breakerThe fixed circuit breaker is derived from the moving part of the drawout circuit breaker by adding a fixing bracket on each side. • 1000 VAC circuit breakers. • Source changeover system (two solutions) : • Mechanical interlocking for 2 or 3 circuit breakers • Automatic source-changeover controller, easy to implement on any two suitably equipped circuit breakers (electrically charged operating mechanism, etc)

  11. M 20 H1 Device identification • Breaking capacity : • N1 : standard; • H1 : H2 : high performance • L1 : current limiting • DC : direct current • Rating : • Rated current / 100 • Family : • Masterpact: LV power air circuit breaker

  12. Conformity with standard • Ui: rated insulation voltage • Ue: rated operational voltage • Icu: ultimate breaking capacity, for various values of the rated operational voltage Ue • Ics: service breaking capacity • Icw: short-time withstand current

  13. Degree protection • Circuit breaker installed free standing: IP30-5 • Circuit breaker installed in a cabinet with access to controls through a door cut-out: IP40-5 • Circuit breaker installed in a cabinet behind a door with a cut-out fitted with a sealed, transparent cover: IP54-9

  14. Control unit selection Masterpact M08 to M63 circuit breakers are equipped with microprocessor based electronic control units. All the protected functions are powered by the AC system and no auxiliary power supply is required. Each control unit of the Masterpact range corresponds to a certain type of application (instantaneous, distribution, selective, universal). All the STR control units measure the true rms value of the current and are therefore not affected by harmonics that may be present on the system.

  15. Auxiliaries • Electrical operating mechanismAdded to the manual charging mechanism, a motor charges and automatically recharges the stored-energy spring upon breaker closing making possible fast O-C-O cycles. • Operation counterWith gear-motor option only. The operation counter is read from the front and gives the total number of breaker operating cycles. • ReleasesTwo types of voltage release: undervoltage release (MN [instantaneous] & time delayed [MNR) and shunt release (MX)]. For undervoltage release, the breaker will open, If the supply voltage drops between 35% and 70% of Un. Closing is possible when release voltage reaches 85% Un. • Closing releaseThis device releases the breaker closing mechanism when the spring is charged.

  16. Accesories • Auxiliaries switchesThree auxiliary switch blocks are standard - 4 contacts (O), optional - 4 directly-operated double break changeover switches (OF), optional - 24 additional changeover switches (OFSUP block). • Ready to close contact (PF)This contact indicates the breaker is open, the stored-energy mechanism is charged, the mechanism is correctly reset, the breaker opening pushbutton is not locked, no opening order is present. • Spring charged contact (CH)In addition to the local mechanical indicator and the “ready to close” contact, the gear-motor limit switch changeover contact can indicate that the operating mechanism is ready (spring charged). • Fault trip indication (SDE) • Safety shutters (VO)Mounted on the fixed portion of drawout breakers, the safety shutters automatically block access to the disconnection contacts when the breaker is in the disconnected or test position (IP20). • Shutter lock (VVC)To lock the shutters in the closed position and hold the shutters in the open position.

  17. Accesories • Arc chute cover (CC)This cover eliminates the safety clearance requirement above the breaker. • Terminal shield (CB)This cover prevents access to the electrical auxiliary connection terminals. • Interphase barries (EIP)The insulated partitions for vertical installation between connection pads to reinforce insulation at connection points and to prevent arc propagation in the event of a line side fault • Partitioning fixture (AC)Attached to the fixed portion of drawout breakers. This fixture provides IP30 partitioning between breaker compartment and connection zone. • Door frame (CDP)This frame provides an equipment seal function (IP405). Suitable for fixed and drawout patterns. • Transparent cover (CCP)This is designed for the door frame (CDP). It provides a degree of protection of IP549. Suitable for fixed and drawout patterns.

  18. Accessories • Auxiliaries for fixed versionConnection by one or two plugs, disconnectable and accessible from the front. • Auxiliaries for fixed versionThe breaker auxiliary circuits are connected by connection blocks that operate automatically to isolate the auxiliaries when breaker is in “disconnected” position. • Breaker mismatch protectionFor drawout version only, this systems allows only correctly matched breakers (rating, type wiring, etc.) to be inserted in a given fixed frame. • Earth protectionThe earth connection terminal (drawout pattern) is on the left hand side of the chassis. It’s marked with the symbol . • Push button locking deviceThis padlockable device (padlocks not supplied) prevents direct operation of the circuit breaker by covering the “on” and “off” pushbuttons. • “Off” position locking deviceA Profalux key lock locks the breaker in “off” position by holding the pushbutton in its depressed position.

  19. Automatic source-changeover systems • Masterpact source-changeover systems can be used to implement various configurations involving several incoming feeders. • The two or three Masterpact CB or switch-disconnectors used are mechanically interlocked to prevent certain combinations of operations. • The devices may be arranged : • Vertically, I.e stack-mounted and interconnected by a set of rods; • Horizontally (two only), I.e side by side and interconnected by a set of cables.

  20. Automatic source-changeover systems with 2 devices • A Masterpact automatic source-changeover system with 2 devices is made up of : • CB QN connected to the “Normal” source • CB QR connected to the “Replacement” source • Mechanical interlocking system by rods or cables; • Automatic control of the system can be provided by adding : • Electrical interlocking unit IVE • Auxiliaries control plate ACP • Controller BA or UA • Each Masterpact CB is equipped with : • a motor mechanism • a shunt release (MX) • a ready to close contact (PF) • a block of 4 changeover switches (OF) • an additional terminal block (BS) and a block of 4 connected position switches (CE) for source-changeover systems made up of drawout breakers.

  21. Automatic source-changeover systems with 3 devices • A Masterpact automatic source-changeover system with 3 devices up of : • 2 CB QN1 and QN2 connected to the “Normal” source; • CB QR connected to the “Replacement” source; • Mechanical interlocking system by rods; • For such applications (consult us) automatic control of the system can be provided by adding : • 2 electrical interlocking unit IVE • auxiliaries control plate ACP • controller BA or UA • Each Masterpact CB is equipped with : • a motor mechanism • a shunt release (MX) • a ready to close contact (PF) • a block of 4 changeover switches (OF) • an additional terminal block (BS) and a block of 4 connected position switches (CE) for source-changeover systems made up of drawout breakers.

  22. Automatic source-changeover systemscontroller option selection Used together with the auxiliaries control plate ACP, controller BA and UA initiate the automatic changeover operations according to the status of the “Normal” and “Replacement” sources. Installation • Mounted directly on the auxiliaries control plate ACP. • Mounted on the front of the switchboard. The distance between the controller and the auxiliaries control plate must not exceed 2 m.

  23. Automatic source-changeover systemscontroller option selection (controller BA) • Controller BA can be used with Masterpact CB to implement a straight forward automatic source-changeover system. • Electrical characteristicsPower is supplied from the auxiliaries control plate ACP. The same voltage must be used to supply the ACP plate, the IVE unit and the CB motor mechanisms. Otherwise, BC type or equivalent isolation transformer must be used. • Operationa four-position switch can be used to select: automatic operation, forced operation on source N, forced operation on source R, and stop.Adjustment of time delays in front: • t1 = time delay before QN opens when the voltage UN of the Normal source disappears, it can be adjusted from 0.1 to 30 sec. • t2 = time delay before QR opens when the voltage UN of the Normal source is restored, it can be adjusted from 0.1 to 240 sec. • CB status indication on the front of the controller: on, off, fault trip.

  24. Automatic source-changeover systemscontroller option selection (controller UA) • Controller UA offers the following automatic functions: • switching from one source to another depending on the presence of voltage UN on the Normal source • control of an engine generating set • shedding and reconnection of non-priority circuits • switching to the Replacement source in the event of a failure on one of the phases of the Normal source • Electrical characteristicsPower is supplied from the auxiliaries control plate ACP. The same voltage must be used to supply the ACP plate, the IVE unit and the CB motor mechanisms. Otherwise, BC type or equivalent isolation transformer must be used.
