 Introduction

1.3 High Breaking capacity and large short

time current capacity

! By fully utilising electromagnetic repulsive force, a large short

time current and high breaking capacity is achieved in our
light and compact design.

! Light contact springs used to provide adequate contact pressure

to keep the contact temperature well within limits and also
to avoid contact bouncing.

! A large short circuit current causes an electromagnetic

repulsive force between the contact lead halves.
! This repulsive force works in a direction to turn the moving
contact clockwise about the contact shaft, giving it more contact
pressure proportional to the short circuit current.

! When interrupting a large current, the electromagnetic repulsive

force works in a direction to separate the moving contact from
the stationary contact.

! This electromagnetic repulsive force adds to the separating

force of trip spring, resulting in a high speed interruption.

1.3.1 Complete Isolation of Poles

All the poles are completely isolated from each other as well as
from operating mechanism by high grade insulating materials. A
robust design of Arc Chute in a temperature resistant moulded
body and fitted with scientifically shaped Deion-Grids, totally
encompasses the poles.

The high short circuit arc gases thus escape through arc chute
only which clears and cools the highest short circuit arc energy
in less than 10ms. This isolation thus helps in providing highest
insulation properties as well as breaking capacity.

1.3.2 High AC dielectric withstand voltage

Due to the use of non-hygroscopic, glass fibre based insulating

materials and corrugated shape employed for better creepage
distance, the AH series can withstand a dielectric voltage of 3.5KV
for a minute.

1.3.3 Space saving & standardisation of Switchboard

1.3.4 Highly Resistant to Vibration upto 1600AF 2000AF 3200AF

Compact Breaker leads to space saving

Smallness of each component due to rational design ensures a low in Switchboards
response factor to vibration and high natural frequency. The design
is also highly resistant to vibrations as required in ships.

2.2 Application

2.2.1 AC System

! 3 pole ACB for Industrial & Generator
application.
! 4 Pole ACB for complete safety in 3 phase 4
wire distribution system as the neutral pole of
4 pole ACB closes earlier & opens later than
other phase poles, thus effectively preventing
transient overvoltages on loads connected
between live & neutral lines.
2.2.2 DC System
! 2 pole ACB can be used on DC system where
the short circuit breaking capacity requirement
is not very high.
10
! 3 pole ACB with 2 poles connected in series
can be used in DC system where the short
circuit breaking capacity requirement is
comparatively high.
! A 4 pole ACB with 2 poles connected in parallel
can be used where the short circuit breaking
capacity requirement is low but the thermal
current rating is high. (For this application, the
neutral pole closes alongwith the phase poles).
Please clearly specify 4 pole ACB for DC
application.

 Spring Charging Operations

4.4 Motor Charging And Closing Operation Circuit

4.4.1 Charging of Closing Springs

! When the closing springs are "DISCHARGED",
the “spring charged OFF” switch in series with
the motor, is closed.
! Control voltage is applied to terminals 1 and
2 and the motor starts to charge the springs.
! When the closing springs are fully charged, the
“spring charged OFF” switch in series with the
motor opens and cuts the supply to the motor.
4.4.2 Closing the ACB
! When the springs are charged, the "spring
charged ON switch" in series with the LRC is
closed.
! Apply voltages across terminals 3 and 4
through PB (close). The latch release coil (LRC)
is energised and the closing springs are
released to close the ACB.
! With the release of Closing Spring charge, the
“Spring Charged On Sw” opens and the supply
to the LRC is cut OFF through the Aux.Sw.B1
Contact which opens when the ACB gets closed.
4.4.3 Anti-Pumping Function
! Once the closing spring have been released the
“ACB Reset OFF” switch is closed. If a closed
signal is continuously applied across the
terminals 2 and 3, the holding relay (HC) is
energised and self holds when the HC/1 contact
closes.
! The HC/2 contact opens, cutting the supply to
the LRC, ACB can not reclose without opening
the PB (Close).

4.5.1 Power Transformer Outside 5.3 Undervoltage Trip

When the control supply voltage is higher than
230V AC, our special Step Down Transformer or
a 350VA Transformer with 220V secondary should
be used for electrical charging operation.
4.5.2 Spring Charged Switch
Provides a NO (1a) contact signal, which is closed
when the closing springs are fully charged. Used
for indication at a remote place, from where
closing is made.
The undervoltage trip automatically opens the Air
Circuit Breaker when the voltage supplied to it drops
below the opening voltage. It resets automatically
on recovery of the supply voltage above the
resettable value, and allows for closing of the Air
Circuit Breaker. The undervoltage trip consists of an
undervoltage trip device built-in the ACB and UVT
Control Device installed external to the ACB .

This consists only of the Circuit Breaker fitted with
brackets to enable it to be permanently mounted
inside the Panel and the bus bars are directly
connected to its terminals.
6.2 Metal Clad Type
The metal clad type consists of a fixed or draw out
Circuit Breaker housed in a steel enclosure. This
can be used as a single pole mounted ACB or can
be readily constructed in a load centre by simply
placing them one upon another in a tier
arrangement.
This consists of a Circuit Breaker and a draw-out
cradle. The Circuit Breaker can be withdrawn to any
of the four draw out positions i.e. "CONNECTED",
"TEST", "DISCONNECTED" & "REMOVED".
The Circuit Breaker body is kept connected to earth
through earthing shoes to the draw out frame in
"CONNECT", "TEST" or in between to provide total
safety to the Operator. The Panel door can be kept
closed in "CONNECTED", "TEST" & "DISCONNECTED"
position.

6.5 Accessories (Optional) for Draw-out Breaker

The following types of accessories are available for

draw-out type Air Circuit Breaker.

6.5.1 Safety Shutter

! When the Breaker is drawn out, it protects Safety Shuter

the operator from accidental contact with the
live parts by automatically concealing the
main circuit on the draw-out frame side with
insulating barrier.
! The shutter has a tamper proof lock
mechanism. As the Breaker is inserted into the
draw-out frame, it unlocks automatically to
free the shutter and the shutter opens.
! The shutter can be padlocked in the shut
position.
! Labels, "BUSBAR" and "CIRCUIT", are supplied
to indicate the line-side and load-side main
circuit terminals, respectively, and they are to 6.5.4 Test Jumper
be affixed by the user.
The test jumper allows checking of all functions on
6.5.2 Position Switch the removed Breaker on a Test Bench and can be
supplied on request.
There is 1NO contact to indicate the "TEST" position
and 1NC contact to indicate the "CONNECTED" 6.5.5 Mal-Insertion Prevention Device
position.
A good interchangeability exists in the C&S -Air
Ratings Circuit Breakers and because of this feature, there
is a possibility for a Breaker of a different rating
250V AC - 15A, 250V DC - 0.25A being placed into the cradle of other rating. This
480V AC - 5A, 125V DC - 0.5A is effectively prevented by the use of the Mal-
insertion Prevention Device.
6.5.3 Short-Circuiting Contacts

The short-circuiting contact shorts out the associated

auxiliary switch b-contact when the Breaker is in the
test position or further out position. Therefore, the
b-contact circuit with this short-circuiting contact
remains closed even when the Breaker is closed at
the test position.

This contact is useful when forming an interlock

circuit with another Breaker or Breakers or when
preventing the test operation at the test position from
causing any unwanted operation in the associated
circuit.

The short-circuiting contact is open when the Breaker

is in the connected position, and it can be fitted
in parallel with any of the auxiliary switch circuits,
B2, B3, B4 and B5.

8.1 Special Environment Specs. 8.1.2 Anti-Corrosion Treatment

If the Breakers are to be used under abnormal This treatment is recommended when Breakers are
environmental conditions, specify the applicable to be used in highly saline atmosphere or in chemical
treatment given below : plants.

8.1.1 Moisture Treatment 8.1.3 Cold Climate Treatment

This treatment is recommended for Breakers which
are to be used in areas where both temperature
& humidity are higher i.e. Ambient temperature
60 oC or less & relative humidity 95% or less
provided no condensation.
This treatment is provided when the Breaker is to
be used in very cold areas i.e. Storage - 40 oC, Use
-25 oC Provided no condensation or freezing.

 Clearance

9.0 Clearance Above Arc Chute, Maintenance Space

Clearance above Arc chute, maintenance space

Arc gases expel out from the arc
chutes when the Breaker interrupt
a short circuit fault current. It is
therefore necessary to keep the
area above these arc chutes clear
of any metallic objects, including
electric devices and earthed
structures, at least by the distance
shown below in reference to the
Breaker bottom level. If the
provision of such distance is
impracticable, then provide a
barrier of heat and flame resistant
insulating material and of sufficient
size to cover all arc chutes at the
position indicated also as minimum
from the Breaker bottom level.
For fixed type air circuit Breakers,
also, provide a sufficient
maintenance space around the
beaker.
If an arc barrier is provided within
the recommended maintenance
space, make the Breaker
removable.
