Motor protection function
In the circuit breaker position t
sd
= 0.02 sec., a special protection function for electromotive drives is activated. It prevents the short-time
delayed short-circuit tripping from being activated during the switch-on current peak of electric motors. At the same time, a phase failure
protection is activated
(page 9-14) and the time constant for the internally calculated reproduction of the temperature rise and cooling
process is switched over from switchgear protection to motor protection.
Instantaneous short-circuit tripping – I-tripping
If the current setting I
i
is exceeded, the circuit breaker is tripped instantaneously.
Ground-fault tripping – G-tripping
If the trip unit is equipped with a ground-fault protection module, loads can be protected against impermissibly high ground-fault currents.
Trip units ETU745 - 776 can be equipped with it optionally. Ground-fault protection modules (page 9-45)
The response value I
g
, together with the setting for the delay time t
g
, determines the shutdown of ground-fault currents.
If the zone selective interlocking (ZSI) (page 9-15) is used and the ZSI module is set to "S" or "S+G" the adjusted delay time t
g
is auto-
matically set to 100 ms provided that in the event of ground-fault the circuit breaker does not receive a blocking signal from a downstream
circuit breaker. In this case regardless of the adjusted t
g
value the circuit breaker will trip after 100 ms.
If a blocking signal exists the adjusted delay time t
g
is valid. For safety reasons after 3 s the blocking signal is terminated. Some trip units
can be switched over to an I
2
t-characteristic.
