How to calculate resistance
Both the following conditions must be filled:
1) The circuit breaker coil must no be powered when the CB is open and an open command is is-
sued;
2) The binary input is energized when the trip contact open.
1) If the circuit breaker is just open an unnecessary excitation must be avoided; the most critical
event arises when the TRIP contact is closed (e.g. manual or test command), so with minimal
series resistance. To avoid an unwanted excitation the series resistance must be higher than a
minimum value defined as:
R
min
= R
TC
· (U
AUX
- U
TCmin
) / U
TCmin
where:
U
TCmin
: minimum coil excitation voltage
U
AUX
: auxiliary voltage
R
TC
: coil resistance
2) To energize the binary input circuit when the TRIP contact and CB open, the series resistance
must be lowerer than a maximum value defined as:
R
max
= [(U
AUX
- U
DIGmin
) / I
DIG
] - R
TC
where:
U
DIGmin
: minimum binary input excitation voltage (18 V)
U
AUX
: auxiliary voltage
R
TC
: coil resistance
I
DIG
: binary input excitation current (0.003 A)
To satisfy the above requirements, the R value must be chosen between the R
min
and R
max
values;
typically the normalized value nearest the arithmetic mean:
R = (R
min
+ R
max
) / 2
The power dissipated by the R resistor is:
P
R
= R · I

= R · [U
AUX
/ (R + R

)]

TC
= [(110 - 18) / 0.003] - 242 = 30425 Ω

Note1 In order to limit the temperature of the resistor it should be oversized (at least double the power - 2 W)
