    5. Workshop Name Goes Here November, 2006 What is Supplementary Protection? Supplementary Overcurrent Protective Device – A device intended to provide limited overcurrent protection for specific applications and utilization equipment such as luminaires (lighting fixtures) and appliances (and other equipment or for internal circuits and components of equipment). This limited protection is in addition to the protection provided in the required branch circuit by the branch circuit overcurrent protective device. NEC2005, NFPA 70: National Electrical Code, Article 100, Definitions (70-31) Article 240.10 [Overcurrent Protection] (70-84)Supplementary Overcurrent Protective Device – A device intended to provide limited overcurrent protection for specific applications and utilization equipment such as luminaires (lighting fixtures) and appliances (and other equipment or for internal circuits and components of equipment).

    6. Workshop Name Goes Here November, 2006 What is Supplementary Protection? (NEC Article 240-10) Siemens 5SX/5SY/5SP Supplementary Protectors are used to provide overcurrent protection where branch protection is already provided or, not required. Supplementary Protectors are installed as a component with, or part of, a piece of electrical equipment. Supplementary Protectors protect equipment, not wiring systems. Typical equipment includes: Motor Control Circuits Control Power Transformers Relays Contactor Coils PLC I/O Points Lighting Circuits (NEC Article 240-10) Siemens 5SX/5SY/5SP Supplementary Protectors are used to provide overcurrent protection where branch protection is already provided or, not required.

    8. Workshop Name Goes Here November, 2006 Circuit Breaker or Supplementary Protector UL 489 – These requirements apply to molded case circuit breakers, … These circuit breakers are specifically intended to provide service entrance, feeder and branch circuit protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. UL 1077 – These requirements apply to supplementary protectors intended for use as overcurrent; or, over- or under-voltage protection within an appliance or other electrical equipment where branch circuit protection is already provided, or not required by the standard.
