Protection against short-circuits Zone selective interlocking (ZSI) • Principle : • ZSI enables the control units to communicate with each other. The system is able to locate the short circuit or ground fault and clear it. • Functionning : • ZSI allows the circuit breaker to ignore its preset delay when necessary. The fault is cleared by the nearest upstream circuit breaker with no intentional time delay. • Advantages : • Faster tripping time without sacrificing coordination • Limitation of system stress by reducing amount of let through energy. Maximum : 100 circuit breakers interconnected whatever the configuration Return to contents
