What is CoCo-ordination?
An optimized combination of

Switching Device Overload Protecting Device (OLPD) Short Circuit Protecting Device (SCPD)

.... To ensure protection of personnel and equipment in the event of fault

Problem with non coco-ordinated feeders


Erratic tripping of Protective Devices Burning of motors Altered tripping characteristics of overload relays Frequent pitting / welding of contacts Damaged Insulation of components Danger to life of operating personnel=

Objective of CoCo-ordination Motor should not stop when..


- running on rated load - drawing starting current for permissible starting time - utilized to permissible short time overload capacity - put in service according to utilization category

Discrimination
- between overload and short circuit protecting device

Protection - of switching and overload device during short circuit

Co-ordination as per IEC 60947-4-1


Two types of co-ordination are permissible, "1" or "2".
Type "1" co-ordination requires that, under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and may not be suitable for further service without repair and replacement of parts.

Type "2" co-ordination requires that, under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and shall be suitable for further use. The risk of contact welding is recognized, in which case the manufacturer shall indicate the measures to be taken as regards the maintenance of the equipment.

Use of an SCPD not in compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations may invalidate the coordination.

How it is achieved?
The selection of devices is done in such a way so that The time-current characteristics of OLPD and SCPD must allows sufficient time for the motor to run up SCPD must protect the OLPD from destruction by overload currents exceeding approximately 10 times its rated current SCPD must interrupt currents which are too large to be switched off by contactor (short circuit currents) SCPD must protect the contactor in the event of short circuit SCPD Short Circuit Protecting Device OLPD Over Load Protecting Device

The short circuit test is done at two operational conditions

a) with all the switching devices closed prior to the test b) closing the contactor or starter on to the short-circuit current
