MCCB and associated accessories. Mounting Angles TemBreak PRO MCCBs may be mounted at any angle without affecting performance. Direction of Power Supply Power supply may be fed in either direction with respect to the MCCB without affecting performance.
Installation Clearances WARNING: Exposed conductors including terminals at attached busbars must be insulated to avoid possible short-circuit or earth faults due any foreign matter coming into contact with the conductors. Phase to Phase and Earth Interruption of large currents during fault or normal switching operation produces ionised gases and arcing materials which expelled from the vents at the top of the MCCB.
Page 20
Installation Insulating Distance When earth metal is installed within proximity of the breakers, the correct insulating distance must be maintained, (refer to Minimum Clearance). This distance is necessary to allow the exhausted arc gases to disperse. This could include the mounting plate or side panel within a switchboard. Minimum Clearance Below illustrates the minimum clearance that must be maintained.
Installation Internal Accessory Mounting Locations B250, B400, B800, B1000, B1250 and B1600 frame sizes have different internal mounting locations for auxiliary contacts, alarm contacts, shunts and, UVTs. Left-side and right-side mounting locations are independent and accept unique combinations. For example, shunts and UVTs may only be mounted on the right side, whereas auxiliary and alarm contacts may be mounted on either left or right side.
Installation Alarm, Shunt & UVT Installation The alarm, shunt and UVT have a trip bar that needs to interact with the MCCBs trip mechanism. As such they must be installed in a specific way. Refer to the supplied Installation Instructions for the respective accessories for further detail. Alarm &...

Protection Settings Trip Curve The TemBreak PRO B_BE electronic trip unit protects against overcurrent and short circuit faults for many types of electrical distribution systems. The P_BE OCR has protective characteristics according to the requirements of the standard AS/NZS IEC 60947-2.
Protection Settings Pre-Defined Curves The B_BE does not allow full customisation of the LSI protection functions; however, it does allow the election of several pre-defined protection curves, which cover a wide range of applications and industry requirements. Most pre-defined curves also offer adjustment of I to shift the curve along the current (I) axis for better refinement Notice: Pre-defined curves can differ between MCCB models and OCR ratings, refer to...
Protection Settings Long Time Delay Protection (LTD) The Long Time Delay protection protects against current overloads or surges in power distribution or motor control applications. Long Time Delay protection is an inverse-time protection which includes a thermal image function. Long Time Delay Settings Description Long Time Delay protection threshold (current rating) Long Time Delay (time delay)
Protection Settings Long Time Delay (LTD) protection Adjusting t (Time Delay) The t time delay defines the trip time of the long-time delay protection at a referenced current, either as a fixed value or as a multiple of I The t time delay can only be adjusted by selecting a pre-defined curve.
Protection Settings Short Time Delay Protection (STD) The short time protection is designed to protect against low level short circuits. Short Time Delay Settings Description (x I Short Time Delay protection threshold (ms) Short Time Delay Adjustment I (Current) The I trip threshold tolerance for STD protection is ±15%.
Protection Settings Short Time Delay Protection (STD) Adjusting t (Time Delay) The trip time tolerance for short time delay protection is: -20 ms / +50 ms Adjustments to t can only be made by selecting a pre-defined curve and have a fixed time delay, given in seconds. Short Time Delay (s) Pre-defined curve number Rating (I...
Protection Settings Instantaneous Protection (INST) Instantaneous protection is designed to protect against high current short circuits. This protection is independent of time and is set as a multiple of I Instantaneous Delay Settings Description (x I Instantaneous protection threshold Adjusting I (Current) The l trip threshold tolerance for instantaneous protection is ±20%.
Protection Settings Ground/Earth Fault Protection (GF) Ground Fault (GF) protection is protection against high strength insulation / earth faults. Ground fault is available for the B400_BEG to B1600_BEG in 3P and 4P MCCBs. GF is independent time protection and fixed at 20% of I Short Time Delay Settings Description = 0.2 x I...
Protection Settings Neutral Protection (NP) Neutral protection is available with 4P B_BE MCCBs with Neutral trip unit option added. It is particularly useful when the cross-section of the neutral conductor is reduced in relation to the phase conductors. Neutral protection is based off the standard LTD and STD protection parameter of the main phases. The I and I parameters for the Neutral pole are adjusted according to the set Neutral Coefficient percentage.
Alarms & Indication The B_BE OCR provides alarming to indicate trip status and warning. Overload alarm: Provides a warning about current overload which may result in an imminent trip/ Pre-Trip alarm (PTA): Optional on select MCCB models. Provides an early warning for current loading which is approaching the overload trip region of the OCR.
Alarms & Indication PTA (Pre-Trip Alarm) The Pre-Trip Alarm permits monitoring and early warning of overload conditions prior to an actual LTD trip. The PTA setting is defined by two parameters which define the Pre-trip warning and Pre-trip Alarm zones and thus the behaviour of the PTA contact and status LED: PTA current threshold I : Threshold expressed as a percentage of I and is fixed at 80% x I...
Alarms & Indication PTA (Pre-Trip Alarm) Connections and contact specification OCR Power supply is connected to control power terminals OP1 (L1) and OP2 (L2/N). The PTA contact is a volt-free contact, which is connected to either via terminals PALc and PALa (B250 model only), or via PALc and PALa lead wires on all other models.
Commissioning WARNING: Before applying power to the MCCB for the first time, an initial inspection must be performed. WARNING: Risk of nuisance tripping. Only qualified personnel are to set the protection levels. Failure to respect these instructions may cause death, serious injuries or equipment damage.
Commissioning Pre-Defined Curve Selection LTD, STD and INST protection is further defined by the selection of a pre-defined curve as selected via the Curve characteristic rotary dial, which is performed as follows. Refer to Protection Settings – Pre-Defined Curves section for further detail on selection of the pre-defined time-current curve. Action Note / Illustration Turn the MCCB to the OFF Position...
Commissioning INST Protection Only Setting The B_BE can be configured for INST protection only by selecting the INST only pre-defined time-current curve as follows: Refer to Protection Settings – Instantaneous Protection (INST) section for further detail on setting I Action Note / Illustration Turn the MCCB to the OFF Position Open the transparent flap in order to access Curve...

Commissioning LSIG 4P – NP and GF Protection Adjustments (I On the 4P variant B_BE MCCB, NP protection mode is configured by the NP DIP switches, which is performed as follows. Refer to Neutral Protection (NP) section for further detail on NP protection. Action Note / Illustration Turn the MCCB to the OFF Position...
