L.V Air Circuit Breakers

Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
LV Air Circuit Breakers are available in both draw-out and fixed types, with options for 3 or 4 poles. They handle rated currents from 630 A to 6300 A and operate at 415 V AC. The breakers have a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and an impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV. They offer protection settings including long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and earth fault protections, with adjustable current and time settings.
General Information
Sigma LV air circuit breakers protect and isolate circuits from overload and short circuit currents. They comply with TS EN 60947-2 and CE norms and come with standard auxiliary contacts. Optional features include motor operators, undervoltage releases, closing coils, and mechanical interlocks.
Draw-Out Type LV Air Circuit Breakers
These breakers can be separated from the main circuit for maintenance using a lever mechanism. They have distinct operation positions: connected, test, and disconnected.
Protection Types and Tolerances
Protection types include long-time reverse time delayed overcurrent protection, short-time delay overcurrent protection, instantaneous tripping protection, and earthing fault protection. Each type has specific current settings and tripping times with defined tolerances.
Control Circuit Characteristics
The control circuit displays current, voltages, fault current, and time, along with alarm and frequency display options. It also features a test function.
Considerations for Control Circuit
To clear faults, press the CLEAR button followed by the RESET button. To set current or time values, use the SAVE button to ensure the values are fixed.
Additional Information
Specifications for connection busbars, control circuit diagrams, and startup procedures are included. Accessories like shunt trip releases, undervoltage releases, and auxiliary contacts are covered.
Specifications and Protection Types
1. Overload Protection: Includes long-time delay (Ir1), short-time delay (Ir2), and instantaneous tripping (Ir3).
2. Earth Fault Protection: Monitors and protects against ground faults (Ir4).
3. Control Circuit Functions: Displays current, phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral currents, error currents, frequency, and includes test and alarm functions.
Control Circuit Procedures
- To reset circuit breakers after a fault, press CLEAR then RESET.
- Set desired current and time values using the SET and SAVE buttons.
- Trip and Non-Trip buttons are for testing only and require supply voltage.
Factory Set Values
- Rated currents range from 630A to 6300A with specific settings for long and short delay currents, instantaneous tripping, and earth fault currents.
Impact of Ambient Temperature
- Rated current values are affected by ambient temperatures, with specific adjustments needed for temperatures from 40°C to 65°C.
Power Losses
- Power losses vary between fixed and draw-out types, with values provided for different rated currents.
Connection Busbar Specifications
- Details on busbar thickness, width, and quantity for various rated currents.
Startup and Commissioning
- Instructions for preparing the switch mechanism, including lever operation and button pressing sequences.
Coil Specifications
- Low Voltage Coil: Operates between 35%-70% of nominal value, with specific voltage requirements.
- Trip Coil: Allows remote tripping, operating between 70%-110% of nominal value.
- Closing Coil: Ensures circuit breaker is ready for ON position, operating between 85%-110% of nominal value.
Auxiliary Contact and Motor Mechanism
- Auxiliary contacts provide signal locking and are standard with 4NO+4NC configuration.
- Motor mechanism prepares the switch for closing and stores energy for subsequent operations.
Mechanical Interlocking
- Prevents simultaneous operation of two circuit breakers, preferred in network-generator systems.
Protection Curves
- Detailed current-time curves for overcurrent and earth fault protection, illustrating delay and instantaneous ranges.
