The 3VA27 molded case circuit breaker or 3WL10 air circuit breaker as a motor starter protector
The ETUs of the 6-series can also be used for motor protection applications. For this
purpose, these ETUs provide the following setting parameters for protecting motors:
● Deactivation of the instantaneous short-circuit protection "S"
Short-time-delayed short-circuit protection
S Protection function can be ena-
bled/disabled
●
The short-time-delayed short-circuit protection is not required for motor protection
applications because no discrimination is required for coordination with downstream circuit
breakers.
● Selection and parameterization of the setting options (current and time) for instantaneous
short-circuit protection for the switch-on phase (inrush adaptation) according to the
application.
