ZONE SELECTIVE INTERLOCKING SOURCE
The standard means of obtaining selectivity between

main and feeder breakers is by incorporating program-
mers with time-coordinated trip characteristics. This ZONE 0
consists of setting the farthest downstream breaker with -----
a small time delay, and progressively increasing the time

delay as you get closer to the main protective device. The
disadvantage in this method is that the system must now
endure the stress of the high current fault until time-out
occurs.
The Zone Selective Interlock module, Figure 12.1, re-
ceives a signal from a downstream MicroVersaTrip pro-
grammer (Logic 0) which causes the module to transmit
a low-level interlock signal to a MicroVersaTrip pro-
grammer upstream. The interlock signal activates the
LED portion of an LED-Transistor Opto-isolator in the
upstream programmer causing the fixed delay band to
shift from “MIN” to the programmer delay band setting.

Application Data- Molded Case Circuit Breakers
Molded case circuit breakers are circuit protective de-

vices that primarily perform two functions: (1) manual
switching operation to open and close a circuit by means
of a toggle handle and (2) automatic opening of the cir-
cuit under sustained overload and/or short circuit condi-
tions. Circuit breakers inherently provide the automatic
protective function of opening the circuit under abnor-
mal sustained overload, or short circuit conditions, with-
out the use of fuses. When a circuit breaker opens to
clear a fault, the toggle handle goes to a TRIPPED posi-
tion mid-way between the ON and OFF positions, thus
clearly indicating that a circuit breaker has opened. El50 F225
When the cause of the fault has been removed, the cir- 10 thru 150 Amperes 70 thru 225 Amperes
cuit breaker can again be closed simply by moving the
toggle handle to the RESET position, and then moving
the handle to the ON position.
Circuit breakers have an advantage over fusible ele-
ments. A fault on one pole of a multi-pole breaker
actuates a common trip bar that opens all poles simulta-
neously, thus avoiding single phasing a motor circuit, as
could occur in a fusible device. Molded case circuit
breakers are “trip free” in construction. This means that
the circuit breaker contacts cannot be held closed against
a fault condition. Molded case circuit breakers are de-
signed to protect insulated conductors against unsafe

Standard 489 list their interrupting capacity of with-
stand capability in terms of rms symmetrical amps.
The procedures for calculating short-circuit current and
the X/R ratios are described in detail in GE Publication
GET3550.
Generally, electrical power system engineers calculate
the X/R ratios rather than the power factors of protected
circuits during their short-circuit studies. The magni-
tude of the momentary peak current to be inter-
rupted-or withstood-is a function of the maximum Symmetricalacwave
peak current displacement from the zero current axis.
That displacement is a function of the X/R ratio (or Figure 36.1 Symmetrical AC Waveform
power factor) of the faulted circuit. The higher the X/R
ratio, the lower the power factor, and the greater the
magnitude of peak current displacement.
