2.10.5  Compatibility 
The ZSI function of the 3WA circuit breaker is a further development of existing systems 
for SENTRON circuit breakers. With appropriate settings, there is full selectivity even 
when using older circuit breaker families and fuses. 
Note 
Backward compatibility
 
The ZSI function of the 3WA air circuit breakers is compatible with the ZSI function of 
the 3WL air circuit breakers and the 3VA molded case circuit breakers.
 
The ZSI function of the 3WL and 3VA circuit breakers operates with the fixed delay 
t
ZSI
 50 ms for the short-time-delayed short-circuit protection ST and the fixed delay 
t
ZSI
 100 ms for the ground-fault protection GF. In contrast to this, the ZSI times can be 
set for the 3WA circuit breaker. 
When used together with the 3WL and 3VA circuit breakers in a power distribution 
system, the delay times t
ZSI
 must be set to 50 ms (ST) or 100 ms (GF) for each 3WA.
