Impulse Output for a Trip Coil
The low-energy trip coil of the circuit breaker is connected to terminals TC+ and TC− of
the terminal block X4. The trip energy is provided by a capacitor store integrated in the
protection relay. See also ╚═▷ “4.1.1.1 Trip Pulse and WIC1 LEDs”.
Length of each trip
impulse:
(approx.) 50 ms
The pause between the individual pulses depends on the
impedance of the tripping coil and the current level. Pulsing
is continued until the protection function’s tripping state
drops o.
Trip energy: E ≥ 0.1 Ws
Voltage: 24 VDC nominal voltage
Relay Output (WIC1‑4)
With the device variant WIC1‑4, it is possible via setting parameter [Device Para / WIC1 /
Output] »Prot . Out. Mode« to select between two operating modes for the output “Out+/−”:
• = “Impulse Output” — The contacts “Out+/−” function as an impulse output for a•
ag indicator. This operating mode is fully compatible to the “FI+/−” impulse output
of the rst generation WIC1, see also ╚═▷ “Impulse Output for a Flag Indicator (all
WIC1 variants)”.
• = “Syst. O.K. & Ext.Suppl.” — The contacts “Out+/−” output a digital signal, so•
that an external output relay (of a particular type, see ╚═▷ “9.1.8.3 Relay Ouput
(WIC1‑4)”) can be connected.
The main application for this output relay is its use as a self-supervision contact. For
details, see ╚═▷ “3.7.1 Self-Supervision Contact for the WIC1‑4”.
Remark: The “Syst. O.K. & Ext.Suppl.” operating mode is also available with the “no-output-
variants” WIC1‑4xxxN. However, for the device variants WIC1‑1, WIC1‑2, WIC1‑3 the
operating mode “Impulse Output” is xed, so that the output can only be used for triggering
a ag indicator.
Impulse Output for a Flag Indicator (all WIC1 variants)
Depending on the order option, the WIC1 can feature an impulse output for a ag indicator.
A ag indicator can be connected to terminals FI+/− (WIC1‑4: Out+/−) of the terminal block
X4, e. g. for a power-safe signaling of a trip. See also ╚═▷ “3.7.3 Impulse Signal for the
Flag Indicator”.
Length of each trip
impulse:
(approx.) 50 ms
The pause between the individual pulses depends on the
impedance of the ag indicator and the current level.
Pulsing is continued until the protection function’s tripping
state drops o.
