The advantages of comprehensive
and optimised range design 0

Compact NS and Masterpact NW DC circuit
breakers constitute a flexible and cost-
effective means to meet the various needs
of DC systems.
A wide, complete and high-performance range
Schneider Electric DC circuit breakers provide a comprehensive solution for the
many applications found in DC systems.
The Compact NS and Masterpact NW ranges offer, for the common voltages and
pole versions, a wide selection of current ratings (16 to 4000 A) and breaking
capacities (up to 100 kA).
Flexible and optimised design
The Compact NS and Masterpact NW DC ranges use all the standard accessories
and auxiliaries of the AC ranges.
The modular design and many possibilities offered by these systems provide a high
degree of flexibility in personalising products, while benefiting from dependable and
optimised industrial design.
Safe and simple operation
Even though they use the accessories of the corresponding AC ranges, the Compact
NS and Masterpact NW DC ranges have been specially designed for DC systems.
Specific accessories have been developed to meet the needs of series or parallel
connection of poles by users in a simple and dependable manner (see page
opposite).
Compact NS and Masterpact NW DC devices can be installed in class II
switchboards with a degree of protection up to IP54.
Compliance with standards
Schneider Electric DC circuit-breaker ranges comply with the main international
standards and in particular IEC 60947-1/2/3/4/5,
EN 60947-1/2/3/4/5 and the specifications of the marine classification companies
(Veritas, Lloyds Register of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, etc.).
Open communication
Compact NS and Masterpact NW DC devices can be equipped with communication
options for integration in a supervision system via a Digipact or Modbus/JBus bus.
Environmental protection
Schneider Electric circuit-breaker ranges benefit from
Eco-design:
b use of materials not representing a danger to the environment
b non-polluting production units complying with ISO 14001 standards
b filtered breaking for high current ratings to avoid pollution in the switchboard
b low dissipated energy per pole, making energy losses insignificant
b marking of products in view of sorting recyclable materials at the end of the service
life.

Compact NS and Masterpact NW DC circuit
breakers offer optimised pole-connection
possibilities.
Designed for direct current
Performance levels and quality signed Schneider Electric
The creation of a dependable and high-performance DC range requires a large
amount of specific design and development work in addition to that invested in the
original AC range.
Schneider Electric called on its proven industrial experience in the AC field and its
recognised know-how in current interruption to develop a high-performance DC
range.
Schneider Electric decided to use the cases and accessories of its Compact NS and
Masterpact NW ranges with:
b a high-performance design for the breaking chambers or the poles intended
specifically for DC applications (e.g. 100 kA at 250 V per pole for Compact NS and
85 kA at 900 V for two poles for Masterpact NW)
b fast trip units developed for DC applications
b optimised pole-connection and isolation possibilities that are both simple and
dependable.
Optimised solutions for the many types of DC systems
The many types of DC systems make it necessary, for cost and technical-
optimisation reasons, to connect the poles of two, three or four-pole circuit breakers
in series or in parallel.
b The Compact NS and Masterpact NW ranges enable series connection of poles,
thereby optimising breaking capacity for high voltages.
Series connection reduces the voltage across the terminals of each pole (the total
voltage is divided by two, three or four depending on the circuit breaker) and the
operation of all poles provides the breaking capacity of the overall device.
This makes it possible to break short-circuit currents at high voltages while optimising
solutions (e.g. a Compact NS 100 kA 250 V per pole can be used on a 750 V system
with three poles connected in series, thus reducing the cost compared to a 750 V
solution.
b The Compact NS range enables parallel connection of the poles, thereby
optimising the use of the rated currents.

Optimised and dependable series or parallel
connection of poles
Series connection - controlled temperature rise and
guaranteed performance
Schneider Electric DC circuit breakers comply with product standards IEC 60947-1
and 2.
To that end, series connection of poles meets:
b temperature-rise conditions. Connections specifically designed to dissipate heat
mean the thermal model is equivalent to that for AC applications. The devices
dissipate the temperature rise produced by relatively short series connections
b optimum safety conditions. Connections are designed for extreme operating
conditions (insulation and safety clearances, ultimate breaking capacity, high
pollution levels, etc.).
Parallel connection - optimisation
Certain DC systems require high power levels (hundreds to thousands of amperes)
at reduced voltages, most often y 250 V.
The configurations of DC systems and the exceptional performance levels of
Compact NS circuit breakers mean the poles can be parallel connected. This
technique virtually doubles, triples or quadruples the current rating depending on the
type of circuit breaker and thus reduces the cost of solutions.
Compact NS - safety and flexibility.

Types of DC distribution systems

There are three types of DC distribution
systems (see the table).
The operational voltage in conjunction with
one of the three systems determines the
number of poles taking part in current
interruption.
Selection of a circuit breaker depends essentially on the distribution-system
parameters presented below which are used to determine the corresponding
characteristics:
b type of system - determines the type of product and the number of poles
connected in series for each polarity
b rated voltage - determines the number of series poles taking part in current
interruption
b nominal current - determines the rated current of the circuit-breaker
b maximum short-circuit current at the point of installation - determines the breaking
capacity.

Comparison of series and parallel connection in terms of performance
Series connection of poles divides the
voltage per pole and optimises breaking
capacity for high-voltage systems.
Series connection of poles on a DC circuit breaker is the means to:
b divide the system voltage by the number of poles
b use the rated current for each pole
b use the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker for all the poles.
For example, a Compact NS630, 3P DC type, with the three poles connected in
series, provides:
b a maximum voltage of 750 V (250 V per pole)
b a rated current of 630 A
b a breaking capacity of 100 kA / 750 V.
Consequently, a 630 A / 250 V device can be used in a 750 V system.
Parallel connection of poles divides the
current per pole and optimises the rated
current for systems that do not exceed the
withstand voltage of each pole.
The maximum useable rating and the value
of the magnetic setting are indicated on pages
220E4100.fm/8 and 220E4100.fm/9.
Parallel connection of poles, on the contrary, imposes the system voltage on each
pole, but is the means to:
b divide the current flowing through each pole by the number of poles
b increase the rated current.
For example, the same Compact NS630 DC 3P circuit breaker with three poles in
parallel provides:
b a maximum voltage of 250 V (250 V per pole)
b a rated current of 1500 A (see table on page 220E4100.fm/9)
b a breaking capacity of 100 kA / 250 V.
Consequently, a 630 A device used in a 250 V system can handle 1500 A.

Calculation of the short-circuit current across the terminals of
a battery
During a short-circuit, the battery discharges a current equal to
b Vb = maximum discharge voltage (battery 100 % charged)
b Ri = internal resistance equivalent to all cells (a function of the capacity in ampere-
hours).
Example
b consider a set of four 500 Ah batteries connected in parallel
b discharge voltage of one battery: 240 V (110 cells 2.2 V each)
b discharge current of one battery: 300 A with a run-time of 30 minutes
b discharge current of all four batteries: 1200 A with a run-time of 30 minutes
b internal resistance 0.5 m per cell, i.e. for one battery:
Ri = 110 x 0.5 x 10
-3
= 55 x 10
-3

b short-circuit current of one battery: Isc = 240 V / 55 x 10
-3
= 4.37 kA
b neglecting the resistance of the connections, for all four batteries discharging the
short-circuit current in parallel, the total short-circuit current is four times that of one
battery, i.e. Isc = 4 x 4.37 kA = 17.5 kA.
Note: if the internal resistance is not known, it is possible to use the following rough
approximation: Isc = kc where c is the capacity of the battery in ampere-hours and k is a
coefficient close to 10 and always less than 20.
Other typical examples
b PABXs: Isc from 5 to 25 kA at 240 V DC with L/R = 5 ms
b submarine: Isc from 40 to 60 kA at 400 V DC with L/R = 5 ms.

When a short-circuit occurs across the terminals of a DC circuit, the current rises
from the load current (y In) to the short-circuit current Isc over a period of time that
depends on the value of the resistance R and inductance L of the short-circuited
loop.
The equation determining the current in the loop is:
u = Ri + L di/dt
The curve of I versus time is defined (neglecting In) by the equation:
i = Isc (1 - exp(t/))
where = L/R is the time constant for the rise to Isc.
Practically speaking, after a time t = 3, the short-circuit is considered to be
established, because the value of exp(-3) = 0.05 is negligible compared to 1 (see the
curve opposite).
The lower the time constant (e.g. battery circuit), the shorter the time required for the
current to rise to Isc.
To express breaking capacity, the interrupted short-circuit current with the following
time constants is used:
b L/R = 5 ms, fast short-circuit
b L/R = 15 ms, standardised value used in standard IEC 60947-2
b L/R = 30 ms, slow short-circuit.
In general, the value of the system time constant is calculated under worst-case
conditions, across the terminals of the generator.
Breaking-capacity values for:
b Compact NS (table page 220E2200.fm/6) are the same for 5 ms and 15 ms
b Masterpact NW (table page 220E2200.fm/8) are indicated for 3 values, 5 ms, 15
ms and 30 ms.

Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are suitable for
isolation as defined by IEC 60947-1 and 60947-2:
b the isolation position corresponds to the O (OFF) position
b the operating handle and the indicators cannot indicate the OFF position unless
the contacts are effectively open
b padlocks may not be installed unless the contacts are open.
The isolation function is certified by tests guaranteeing:
b the mechanical reliability of the position-indication system
b the absence of leakage currents
b overvoltage withstand capacity between upstream and downstream connections.
For Compact NS, installation of a rotary handle or a motor mechanism does not alter
the reliability of the position-indication system.

Vibrations
Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are guaranteed against
electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations.
Tests are carried out in compliance with standard IEC 68-2-6 for the levels required
by merchant-marine inspection organisations (Veritas, Lloyd's, etc.):
b 2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude 1 mm
b 13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g.
Excessive vibration may cause tripping, breaks in connections or damage to
mechanical parts.
Installation in class II switchboards
All Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are class II front-face devices.
They may be installed through the door of class II switchboards (as per standard IEC
60664) without downgrading switchboard insulation. Installation requires no special
operations even when the circuit breaker is equipped with a rotary handle or a motor
mechanism.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are protected against:
b overvoltages caused by devices that generate electromagnetic disturbances
b overvoltages caused by atmospheric disturbances or by a distribution-system
outage (e.g. failure of a lighting system) and devices emitting radio waves (radios,
walkie-talkies, radar, etc.)
b electrostatic discharges produced by users. The circuit breakers have successfully
passed the electromagnetic-compatibility tests (EMC) defined by international
standard IEC 60947-2, appendix F.
The above tests guarantee that:
v no nuisance tripping occurs
v tripping times are respected.
Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers comply with the following
electromagnetic-compatibility standards:
b IEC/EN 61000-4-2 - electrostatic immunity discharge test, part 2 (circuit breakers)
b IEC/EN 61000-4-3 - electromagnetic-field immunity test
b IEC/EN 61000-4-4 - electrical fast transient/burst immunity test
b IEC/EN 61000-4-5 - surge immunity test
b IEC/EN 61000-4-6 - immunity to conducted disturbances, induced by
radiofrequency fields
b CISPR 11 - radio-frequency conducted and radiated emission tests required for
CE marking
v EN 61000-6-2 - immunity standard for industrial environments
v EN 50081-1-2 - emissions in commercial and industrial environments.

COM option in Masterpact NW

The COM option is required for integration
of the circuit breaker or switch-disconnector
in a supervision system.
Masterpact uses the Digipact or Modbus
communications protocol for full
compatibility with the SMS PowerLogic
power-monitoring system. An external
gateway is available for communication on
other networks:
b Profibus
b Ethernet
The COM option in Masterpact is made up of:
For fixed devices
b a "device" communication module, installed behind the Micrologic control unit and
supplied with its set of sensors (OF, SDE ,PF and CH micro-contacts) and its kit for
connection to XF and MX communicating voltage releases.
For drawout devices
b a "device" communication module, installed behind the Micrologic control unit and
supplied with its set of sensors (OF, SDE, PF and CH micro-contacts) and its kit for
connection to XF and MX communicating voltage releases
b a "chassis" communication module supplied separately with its set of sensors (CE,
CD and CT contacts).
Status indication by the COM option is independent of the device indication contacts.
These contacts remain available for conventional uses.
Digipact or Modbus "device" communication module
This module is independent of the control unit. It receives and transmits information
on the communication network.
Digipact or Modbus "chassis" communication module
This module is independent of the control unit. The Modbus "chassis" communication
module makes it possible to address the chassis and to conserve the address when
the circuit breaker is in the disconnected position. Consumption: 30 mA, 24 V.
XF and MX communicating voltage releases
The XF and MX communicating voltage releases are equipped for connection to the
"device" communication module.
Remote-tripping functions (second MX or MN) are independent of the
communication option. These releases are therefore not equipped for connection to
the "device" communication module.

SC150 interface
Using the SC150 interface, it is possible to integrate a device equipped with non-
communicating auxiliaries into a supervison system.
The SC150 interface is used to connect:
v the auxiliary contacts on the circuit breaker (OF, SD, SDE, SDV, CD, CE)
v the remote-operation system (on, off, reset)
v one unassigned digital input.
Software
To make use of the information provided by the communicating devices, it is
necessary to use software incorporating a Modbus driver. Schneider Electric offers
two solutions: the RCU utility and SMS software.
RCU utility
This is a set of Modbus drivers that, in conjunction with a PC, can be used to:
b view device status (on/off and fault trip)
b view variables: currents, voltages, power, energy (instantaneous and maximum
values)
b remotely open and close the device.
SMS (System Management Software)
SMS is power-management software to control and monitor LV and MV electrical
installations.
The SMS family includes a number of products offering different features for all types
of applications.
SMS can communicate with all intelligent devices in the electrical installation.

Common-point changeover contacts are used to remote circuit-breaker status
information and can thus be used for indications, electrical locking, relaying, etc.
They comply with the IEC 60947-5 international recommendation.
Functions
b OF (ON/OFF) - indicates the position of the circuit breaker contacts
b SD (trip indication) - indicates that the circuit breaker has tripped due to:
v an overload
v a short-circuit
v an earth-leakage fault
v operation of a voltage release
v operation of the "push to trip" button
v disconnection when the device is ON.
Returns to de-energised state when the circuit breaker is reset
b SDE (fault indication) - indicates that the circuit breaker has tripped due to:
v an overload
v a short-circuit.
Returns to de-energised state when the circuit breaker is reset
b CAM (early-make or early-break function) - indicates the position of the rotary
handle. Used in particular for advanced opening of safety trip devices (early break)
or to energise a control device prior to circuit-breaker closing (early make)
b CE / CD (connected/disconnected position) - microswitch type carriage switches
for withdrawable circuit breakers.
Installation
b OF, SD and SDE functions - a single type of contact provides all these different
indication functions, depending on where it is inserted in the device. The contacts clip
into slots behind the front cover of the circuit breaker.
The SDE function on a circuit breaker equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit
requires the SDE actuator.
b CAM function - the contact fits into the rotary-handle unit (direct or extended).
b CE / CD (connected/disconnected) function - two parts must be fitted on the fixed
and moving parts of the chassis.
Changeover contacts.
All the auxiliary contacts opposite are also available in
"low-level" versions capable of switching very low
loads (e.g. for the control of PLCs or electronic
circuits).

MX or MN voltage releases are used to trip the circuit breaker.
This release trips the circuit breaker when the control voltage drops below a tripping
threshold:
b tripping threshold between 0.35 and 0.7 times the rated voltage
b circuit breaker closing is possible if the voltage exceeds 0.85 times the rated
voltage. For a lower value, circuit breaker closing cannot be guaranteed.
Circuit breaker tripping by an MN release meets the requirements of standard
IEC 60947-2.
Time-delay unit for an MN release
Eliminates nuisance tripping due to transient voltage dips lasting 200 ms.
It is used in conjunction with:
b a 250 V DC MN release, control voltage 220/240 V AC
b a 48 V DC MN release, control voltage 48 V AC.
MX shunt release
Trips the circuit breaker when the control voltage rises above 0.7 x Un.
Control signals can be of the impulse type (u 20 ms) or maintained.
Operation
When the circuit breaker has been tripped by an MN or MX release, it must be reset
locally.
MN or MX tripping takes priority over manual closing.
In the presence of a standing trip order, closing of the contacts, even temporary,
is not possible.
Mechanical characteristics

Electrodynamic forces on the conductors
The circuit breakers can be connected with copper, tinned copper or tinned
aluminum conductors (rigid or flexible bars, cables).
In the event of a short-circuit, electrodynamic forces will be exerted on the
conductors.
They must therefore be correctly sized and maintained in place using supports.
Electrical connection points on all types of devices (contactors, circuit breakers, etc.)
should not be used for mechanical support.
Ties for flexible bars and cables
The table below indicates the maximum distance between ties depending on the
prospective short-circuit current.
The maximum distance between ties attached to the switchboard frame is 400 mm.

Safety clearances and minimum
distances

When installing a Compact NS100 to NS630 circuit breaker, minimum distances
(safety clearances) must be maintained between the device and panels, bars and
other protection devices installed nearby. These distances, which depend on the
ultimate breaking capacity, are defined by tests carried out in accordance with
standard IEC 60947-2.
If installation conformity is not checked by type tests, it is also necessary to:
b use insulated bars for circuit-breaker connections
b block off the busbars using insulating screens.
Terminal shields, interphase barriers and the insulation kit are recommended and
may be mandatory depending on the utilisation voltage and the type of installation
(fixed, withdrawable).

Current-limiting curves

The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is its
aptitude to limit short-circuit currents.
Ics = 100 % Icu
The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NS range greatly reduces the
forces created by fault currents in devices.
The result is a major increase in breaking performance. In particular, the service
breaking capacity Ics is equal to 100 % of Icu.
The Ics value, defined by IEC 60947-2 standard, is guaranteed by tests comprising
the following operations:
b break three times consecutively a fault current equal to 100 % of Icu
b check that the device continues to function normally:
v it conducts the rated current without abnormal temperature rise
v protection functions perform within the limits specified by the standard
v suitability for isolation is not impaired.

Longer service life of electrical installations
Current-limiting circuit breakers greatly reduce the negative effects of short-circuits
on installations.
b Thermal effects
Less temperature rise in conductors, therefore longer service life for cables.
b Mechanical effects
Reduced electrodynamic forces, therefore less risk of electrical contacts or bus bars
being deformed or broken.
b Electromagnetic effects
Less disturbances for measuring devices located near electrical circuits.
The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NS range is
due to the rotating double-break technique (very rapid natural
repulsion of contacts and the appearance of two arc voltages
in-series with a very steep wave front).

The current-limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is expressed by two curves which
are a function of the prospective short-circuit current (the current which would flow if
no protection devices were installed):
b the actual peak current (limited current),
b thermal stress (A
2
s), i.e. the energy dissipated by the short-circuit in a conductor
with a resistance of 1 .
Example
What is the real value of a 80 kA prospective short-circuit for L/R = 15 ms limited by
an NS250 DC upstream ?
Answer: 18 kA peak (see next page).

Is a Cu/PVC cable with a CSA of 10 mm

adequately protected by an NS160N?
The table above indicates that the permissible stress is 1.32x10

s.
All short-circuit currents at the point where an NS160N (Icu = 35 kA) is installed are
limited with a thermal stress less than 6 x 10

A

s (see next page).
Cable protection is therefore ensured up to the limit of the breaking capacity of the
circuit breaker.

Protection discrimination

Protection discrimination is an essential element that must be taken into account
starting at the design stage of a low voltage installation to ensure the highest level of
availability for users.
Discrimination is important in all installations for the comfort of users, however it is
fundamental in installations requiring a high level of service continuity, e.g. industrial
manufacturing processes.
Industrial installations without discrimination run a series of risks of varying
importance including:
b production deadline overruns
b interruption in manufacturing, entailing:
v production or finished-product losses
v risk of damage to production machines in continuous processes
b restarting of machines, one by one, following a general power outage
b shutdown of vital safety equipment such as lubrification pumps, smoke fans, etc.

What is discrimination?
Discrimination, also called selectivity, is the coordination of automatic protection
devices in such a manner that a fault appearing at a given point in a network is
cleared by the protection device installed immediately upstream of the fault, and by
that device alone.
b total discrimination
Discrimination is said to be total if, for all fault current values, from overloads up to
the non-resistive short-circuit current, circuit breaker D2 opens and D1 remains
closed.
b partial discrimination
Discrimination is partial if the above condition is not respected up to the full short-
circuit current, but only to a lesser value termed the selectivity limit current (Is).
b no discrimination
In the event of a fault, both circuit breakers D1 and D2 open.
For DC applications, discrimination is often partial.
Discrimination levels are given by the values indicated in the orange zones .
