1. General
1.1 Motor circuit breakers will conform to the general recommendations of standard IEC 947 -1,2 and 4
(VDE 660, 0113 NF EN 60 947-1-2-4, BS 4752) and to standards UL 508 and CSA C22-2 N°14.

1.1.1 The devices will be in utilization category A, conforming to IEC 947-2 and AC3 conforming
to IEC 947-4.
1.1.2 The rated service breaking capacity (Ics) for 400/415 V will be at least equal to minimum 40% of
the ultimate breaking capacity (Icu) for standard performance breakers (minimu Icu value 15 kA) and to
minimum 50% of Icu for high performance breakers (minimu Icu value 50 kA).

- they will have a rated operationnal voltage of 690V AC (50/60 Hz),

- they will have a rated insulation voltage of 690V AC (50/60 Hz),
- they will be suitable for isolation conforming to satandrd IEC 947-2,
- they will have a rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) of 6 kV.

1.2 The organisation of the production plants will conform to the requirements of standard ISO 9002.
1.3 The motor circuit breakers will be available in three-poles versions.
1.4 The motor circuit breakers will be designed to be mounted vertically or horizontally without derating.
Power supply will be from the top or from the bottom.

2 Construction, operation, environment

2.1 The motor circuit breakers will be supplied in recyclable packaging conforming to European
directives. The manufacturer will not use polluting manufacturing processes and will not use
chloro/fluorocarbide or chlorinated hydrocarbon inks for packaging marking.

2.2 In order to ensure maximum safety, the contacts will be isolated from other functions such as the
operating mechanism, casing, releases, auxiliaries, etc, by high performance thermoplastic chambers.

2.3 The operating mechanism of the motor circuit breakers must have snap action opening and closing
with free tripping of the control devices. All the poles will close, open, and trip simultaneously.

2.4 The motor circuit breakers will be actuated either 2 start/stop pushbuttons, tumbler control, or by a
rotary operator clearly indicating the position ON (I), OFF (O), Trip (in the case of a rotary operator).

2.5 In order to ensure isolation with clearly visible breaking conforming to standard IEC 947-2 paragraph
7-27:
- the mechanism will be designated so that the different types of operator will only be in position (O) if
the main contacts are physically separated,
- in position (O) the operating devices will indicate the isolated position.
Isolation is enhanced by the double break of the main circuit.

2.6 The motor circuit breakers will accept a padlocking device in the “isolated” position.

2.7 The motor circuit breakers will be equipped with a “PUSH TO TRIP” device on the front enabling the
correct operation of the mechanism and poles opening to be checked.

2.8 Limitation, Durability

2.8.1 The motor circuit breakers will be current limiting for a mains voltage of 400 V, the maximum let-
through energy (I2t) on short-circuit being extremely low.
2.8.2 The motor circuit breakers will have a high electrical and mechanism durability of at least 5 times
that required by the standard.
2.9 Auxiliaries, accessories
2.9.1 In order to ensure maximum flexibility, the motor circuit breakers may be fitted with a wide range
of accessories and attachments designed to be fitted on site in complete safety.
All the accessories and auxiliaries will be common to the complete range.
They will be front or side mounting, and both arrangements will be possible.
2.9.2 The front-mounting attachments will not change the breaker surface area. Depending on its
mounting direction the single pole contact block could be NO or NC.
2.9.3 These attachments can be broken down into two main families:
2.9.3.1 Contact blocks: instantaneous auxiliary contacts, fault signalling contacts, short-circuit signalling
contacts.
2.9.3.2 Electrical release coils:
- shunt trip
- undervoltage
- undervoltage specifically designed for dangerous machines

2.9.4 These attachments will have the following main characteristics:

- they will be separate from the power circuit.
- all the electrical auxiliaries and accessories will be equipped with terminal blocks and will be plug-in
type.
- marking of the auxiliaries will be indelible.

2.9.5 The motor circuit breakers will have a combination with the downstream contactor enabling the
provision of a perfectly co-ordinated motor-starter. This combination will enable type 1 or type 2 co-
ordination of the protective devices conforming to IEC 947-4-1.
Type 2 co-ordination will be guaranteed by tables tested and certified by an official laboratory: LOVAG
(or other official laboratory).

2.9.6 The motor circuit breakers, depending on the type, could be equipped with a door-mounted operator
which will allow the device setting.
2.10 Protection functions
General recommendations :
2.10.1 The motor circuit breakers will be equipped with releases comprising a thermal element assuring
overload protection and a magnetic element for short-circuit protection.
2.10.2 In order to ensure safety and avoid unwanted tripping, the magnetic trip threshold (fixed) will be
factory set to an average value of 12 Ir.
2.10.3 All the elements of the motor circuit breakers will be designated to enable operation at an ambient
temperature of 60°C without derating.
2.10.4 The thermal trips will be adjustable on the the front by a rotary selector.
2.10.5 The adjustment of the protection will be simultaneous for all poles.
