control functionality. For purely protection applications, it is also enough to capture just one of the 2 circuit-
breaker positions.

Figure 5-83 Recommended Analysis of the Circuit-Breaker Switch Position when Used as a Protection and
Control Device
The following diagram shows the recommended routing, in which H stands for active with voltage.

Figure 5-84 Routing for Acquisition of the Circuit-Breaker Switch Position via 2 Auxiliary Contacts
The device can also function without the analysis from the circuit-breaker auxiliary contacts, that is, routing of
the auxiliary contacts is not absolutely necessary. However, this is a requirement for control functions.
Parameter: Output Time
•
Default setting (_:101) Output time = 0.10 s
The Output time parameter acts on the signals for tripping, opening, and closing of the circuit breaker.
CAUTION
Do not set a time that is too short.
If you set a time that is too short, there is a danger that the device contacts will interrupt the control
circuit. If this happens, the device contacts will burn out.
²
Set a time that is long enough to ensure that the circuit breaker reliably reaches its final position
(open or closed) after a control operation.
Parameter: Indicat. of breaking values
•
Default setting (_:105) Indicat. of breaking values = always
With the Indicat. of breaking values parameter, you define whether the measured values are to be
indicated if the circuit breaker is opened by way of the control function.
