What is CoCo-ordination?
An optimized combination of
Switching Device Overload Protecting Device (OLPD) Short Circuit Protecting Device (SCPD)
Discrimination
- between overload and short circuit protecting device
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
