Compact NS circuit breakers are suitable for isolation as defined by IEC 947-1 et 947-2. When the toggle is in the "OFF" position, the main contacts are ALWAYS open. It is therefore possible to carry out maintenance on the downstream circuits. When doing so, it is advised to lock the circuit breaker in the OFF position and to comply with applicable servicing regulations for low voltage circuits.

All auxiliaries are located behind the circuit breaker front plate, the motor mechanism module or the rotary handle, in a compartment insulated from the power circuits. Function and terminal markings are embossed on the circuit breaker frame for each slot. Auxiliary contacts and releases are physically identical for all ratings.
A single type of auxiliary contact is used for all indication functions (OF, SD, SDE, SDV). The contact function is determined by the slot it occupies in the circuit breaker. Auxiliary contacts snap easily into position. Connections are made via integrated screw terminals.

Voltage releases are used to trip the circuit breaker voluntarily by means of an electric signal (e.g. emergency off button). Release MN This undervoltage release trips the Compact NS when the voltage in its control circuit drops below 70% of the rated voltage. The circuit breaker can be reclosed as soon as the voltage has reached 85% of the rated value.

The trip unit is the component that monitors the electrical current flowing through the circuit breaker and opens the circuit breaker in the event of a fault. c thermal-magnetic and electronic trip units detect overloads and shortcircuits;
c Compact circuit breakers can also be fitted with a Vigi earth-fault protection module that trips the circuit breaker in the event of an insulation fault (risk of electrocution or fire due to earth leakage current).
All Compact trip units (NS100 to NS630) incorporate the reflex-tripping system, an exclusive Merlin Gerin feature that ensures discrimination, even for very high short-circuit currents.
overload protection
Tripping time depends on the level of the fault: c the circuit breaker will trip within 2 hours for a current equal to : v 120% of Ir for electronic trip units, v 130% of Ir for thermal-magnetic trip units. c the circuit breaker must not trip for a load under 105% of Ir.

testing of electronic trip units
mini test kit
E23858
A test socket on the front of the electronic trip units enables connection to a mini test kit or calibration test kit. These kits tests trip unit operation and circuit breaking tripping.
calibration test kit

MERLIN
GERIN
The calibration test kit checks the protection systems by measuring the real tripping times: c at 1.5 x Ir (overload protection), c at 1.5 x Ir (short circuit protection), c at 0.8 x In (earth-fault protection). This apparatus checks that the trip unit is operational and that the breaker will trip.

environmental conditions
ambient temperature
Ambient temperature between 25C and +40 C: The rated characteristics for Compact NS circuit breakers are guaranteed if the temperature of the air immediately surrounding the device is within the above range. Ambient temperature between +40C and +70C : Take into account the derating coefficients presented in the technical documents: c for circuit breakers with a thermalmagnetic trip unit, there is a natural drop in the thermal tripping threshold (overload protection), c for circuit breakers with an electronic trip unit, there is a drop in the maximum setting authorised for overload protection. Ambient temperature above +70C: Various systems trip the circuit breaker to protect components from the effects of excessive temperature. It follows that continuity of service for the electrical
operation
installation is not guaranteed if the circuit breakers operate at temperatures greater than 70C. Ventilation (natural or forced-air) should be provided for switchboards to avoid temperatures greater than 70C.
storage and commissioning

In their original packing, Compact NS circuit breakers may be stored at temperatures ranging from -55C to +95C. Commissioning should be carried out at normal ambient temperatures (see above). However, commissioning may exceptionally be carried out at an ambient temperature ranging from -35C to -25C.
special atmospheric conditions
Compact NS circuit breakers operate within their rated characteristics in all normal climatic conditions. They have successfully passed (no drop in rated characteristics) the tests defined by the following standards: c IEC 68-2-2 : dry heat at +85C, c IEC 68-2-1 : dry cold at 55C, c IEC 68-2-30 : damp heat (temperature + 55C, relative humidity 95 %), c IEC 68-2-11 : salt spray.
Compact NS circuit breakers are designed to operate in industrial atmospheres as defined in IEC standard 947 (pollution degree i 3). It is however advised to ensure that the circuit breakers are installed in correctly cooled switchboards without excessive dust.
vibrations
Compact NS circuit breakers are guaranteed against mechanical or electromagnetic vibration levels as specified in the following standards: c IEC68-2-6, c Veritas NI122E, c Lloyd's Register of Shipping, c JIS 8370.
Excessive vibration may however provoke untimely tripping, loosening of connections or even rupture of parts.

electromagnetic disturbances
Compact NS circuit breakers equipped with an electronic trip unit and a Vigi module are protected against: c overvoltages produced by electromagnetic switchgear, c overvoltages produced by atmospheric disturbances and conducted by electrical networks (eg. lightning strikes), c devices emitting radio waves (radio transmitters, walkie-talkies, radar, etc.), c electrostatic discharges produced directly by operators.
They pass EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) tests in compliance with the following international standards: c IEC 255-22-1 class 3: v 10 kV 1.2 / 50 s overvoltage wave, v 2.5 kV1 MHz damped oscillatory wave, c IEC 1000-4-2 class 4: electrostatic discharges 15 kV, c IEC 1000-4-3 class 3: 10 V/m radiated electromagnetec fields, c IEC 1000-4-4 class 4: 4 kV fast transient waves, c IEC 1000-4-5 class 4: v 4 kV 1.2 / 50s voltage waves, v 2 kA 8 / 20 s current waves, c EN 50081-1 class B: conducted and radiated emissions in switchboards, c IEC 947-2 annex F. The above tests ensure: c absence of nuisance tripping, c overload tripping times.

commissioning and exploitation
prior to commissioning new circuit breakers or following an extended shutdown
A general check requires only a few minutes and eliminates any risks of incorrect operation due to error or neglect.

electrical tests
Insulation and dielectric withstand capacity tests are carried out prior to delivery of the switchboard. These tests are governed by applicable standards and must always be carried out by an authorised specialist. Check that the circuit breakers are installed in a clean environment, free of dust and all installation debris (tools, wiring, chips, metal particles, etc.).
switchboard inspection
compliance with diagram
Check the conformity of devices with the installation diagram: v ratings and breaking capacities indicated on the rating plates, v trip unit identification (type, rating), v presence of additional functions (Vigi earth fault protection, motor mechanism, rotary handle, auxiliaries, indication and measurement modules),
v protection settings (overload, shortcircuit, earth fault), v outgoing circuit identification on the front of devices, v for Vigicompact earth fault protection circuit breakers, check that the intermediate terminal shield is installed, otherwise the earth fault protection function is inoperative.
device mountingstatus of connections and auxiliaries
Check device mounting in the switchboard and the tightness of power connection.
Check that auxiliaries and accessories are correctly installed: v motor mechanism modules or rotary handles, v accessories (terminal shields, door escutcheons, etc.), v connection of auxiliary circuits.
mechanical operation
Check the mechanical operation of devices: v contact opening, v contact closing, v tripping using the "push to trip". Check the electronic trip units using the mini test kit or calibration test kit (see page 13). Check the Vigi modules using the test button on the front plate. This test guarantees tripping in the event of an earth fault.

practical advice
maintaining performance levels of circuit breakers
Due to their design and characteristics, Compact NS circuit breakers require no maintenance. It is nonetheless recommended to ensure that devices operate in the conditions specified in the catalogue, namely:
c electrical and mechanical conditions, c environmental conditions (see pages 44 and 45).
improved safety
E32885
The following options are available: c long or short terminal shields providing IP 40 protection, c a sealable plate to block access to settings (thermal-magnetic trip units), c flexible phase barriers to improve insulation between power connections, c toggle cover to ensure IP 43 protection.
The base (plug-in configuration) can be fitted with: c shutters to block access to power parts (IP 4x protection).
push to trip
improved comfort
E32886
c a full range of electrical indication auxiliaries (OF, SD, SDE, SDV), c indication of voltage presence across device terminals, c current measurement module with an incorporated ammeter or remote indication of the measured value, c load-circuit identification means (see Telemecanique catalogue, catalogue number AB1), c alarm indications (standard on devices equipped with electronic trip units).
c indication options on trip unit STR53UE (see page 12), c Dialpact indication, measurement and control modules.
push to trip
improved aesthetics
E32887
c a range of escutcheons providing different protection (IP) levels for fixed devices, plug-in and withdrawable configutations, motor mechanism modules and rotary handles.
