Line protection applications of 3VA molded case circuit breakers
The main applications of the circuit breakers as line protection components are:
● In main switchboards to provide protection for cables to subdistribution boards
● In subdistribution boards to provide protection for cables to small distribution boards
● Protection for mixed loads (e.g. machinery, lighting, heating)
The trip units for line protection are designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection
for:
● Cables
● Conductors
● Non-motor loads
Suitable 3VA molded case circuit breakers and trip units
3VA molded case circuit breakers equipped with the following trip units are suitable for use in
line protection:
● 3VA1 breakers with thermal-magnetic trip units
– TMs 2-series (Page 111)
● 3VA2 breakers with electronic trip units
