Achieving Type 2 No Damage Motor Start Protection

Type 2 No Damage Protection - What Is It and Which Fuses Are Best?
Type 2 protection, also referred to as no damage protection, simply means that if a short circuit occurs, the short circuit protective device
will operate fast enough to prevent fault current damage to healthy equipment in the system. Tests show that current-limiting fuses are the best
choice for the protection of the motor controllers if damage-free performance is required. To ensure that correct fuse choices are made, short
circuit tests must be made on every possible combination of motor control and fuse. This sheet summarizes a major manufacturers motor
starter and the Ferraz Shawmut time-delay fuses which give Type 2 no damage protection. All combinations are UL witnessed and certified.

Facts About Type 2 Do Damage

Protection for Motor Starters

Type 2 Protection

How Do Short Circuit Currents Damage Motor Starters?

Short circuit currents can cause damage to electrical components by a combination of up to three ways:
Excessive electromagnetic forces,
Excessive heating, and
Extreme heat energies due to arcs.
In the case of a contactor, the repulsive force created between contact surfaces during a short circuit can cause
the contacts to part and begin to break the fault current. The resultant arcing caused by this phenomena can lead to
disintegration of the contacts and without proper precautions could lead to a serious arc flash event. Because this force
is proportional to the square of the current (F Ip2), the magnitude of the force can build rapidly in the first half cycle.
Protection against these forces often requires that the instantaneous peak current be kept to a sufficiently low level by
current limiting devices.
The next element to consider is heating. Heating of the contacts surfaces normally occurs because of the contact
resistance. Since this resistance is very low, the heat generated during normal operation can easily be dissipated and
operating temperatures kept within specified levels. However, under short circuit conditions the heat can build quickly to
high levels due to the thermal energy delivered by the current (Heat I2t). Excessive heating can damage contacts and also
burn open the current element of the overload relay which can potentially lead to an arc flash event if not properly protected.
Protection against this heating often requires that the I2t be kept to a sufficiently low level by current limiting devices.

Achieving Type 2 Protection

Type 2 Coordination not only ensures that there is no danger, but that there is No-Damage to the controller for downstream faults. The following
excerpt is from the UL 508E definition for Type 2 Coordination:
Under short circuit conditions, the controller shall not result in danger to persons or the installation,
and after the short circuit test the controller shall be suitable for further use...
The only allowable damage under Type 2 Coordination is light contact welding provided that the contacts are easily separable. To qualify for Type 2
Coordination (No-Damage Protection) the motor starter manufacturers must test all combinations of starters, contactors, overload relay and short
circuit protective devices (SCPD). The tests include:
A low-level short circuit test to confirm proper operation of the SCPD.
A high-level short circuit test to check for No Damage protection of the contactor and overload relay.
A Dielectric Voltage-Withstand Test to prove the adequacy of the insulation after both short circuit current tests have been performed.
An Overload Relay Calibration Test to verify that the overload relay conforms to published tripping characteristics.
A discrimination test to ensure proper coordination between the overload relay and the fuse.
Achieving No-Damage short circuit protection of a motor starter requires that the overcurrent protective device limit both the peak current and the
I2t let - through energy. Type 2 coordination is typically obtained with tests at 100,000A with very current limiting devices.

Which fuses are Best?

Tests show that current - limiting fuses are the best choice for the protection of motor controllers if damage - free performance is required. In
particular, Ferraz Shawmut AJT (Class J) and A6D (Class RK1) fuses are ideally suited for this application. These current - limiting fuses will clear a
short circuit within their current - limiting range in less than cycle and prevent the fault current from reaching its first peak.

Type 2 Protection

Fuses for Type 2 Coordinated Protection of Motor Starters

The fuses shown are UL Listed for branch circuit protection and have been proven in third party laboratory tests to meet the requirements of IEC
947-4-1 by motor control manufacturers. To properly select these fuses for Type 2 protection of motor starters, refer to the individual selection tables
available from Ferraz Shawmut. The data in these tables has been obtained from the manufacturers or their web sites for your convenience. These
tables are also available on our web site at www.us.ferrazshawmut.com. Also, refer to the Application Section of the Advisor for more information on
selecting fuses for motor circuits.
Amp-Trap 2000 AJT Class J Fuse
Starter manufacturers testing has proven that the AJTs lower let-thru energies provide Type 2 protection of NEMA- and
IEC- style starters. The ideal choice for new applications of 600 amps and less, the AJT offers excellent current-limiting
performance for short circuits and time delay for reliable operation in the presence of temporary overloads. The unique Class J
dimensions prevent improper substitutions.

Amp-Trap 2000 A6D Class RK1 Fuse

When it comes to upgrading existing applications of 600 amps and less there is no better alternative than the A6D. Starter
manufacturers testing has proven that the A6Ds low current-limiting let-thru energies provide Type 2 protection of NEMA - style
starters. The time delay feature ensures reliable operation in the presence of temporary overloads. Its dimensions allow for
direct replacement of existing Class H, Class K and Class RK5 fuses.

Amp-Trap 2000 ATDR Class CC Fuse

Often a good choice for motor circuit applications with motor full load amps of 15 amps and less, ATDRs current-limiting
performance can provide Type 2 Protection of NEMA- and IEC- style starters. Consult sizing tables as Class CC fuses do not
have as much time delay for overloads as the AJT. Advantages of using Class CC include its small footprint fuse block and
rejection feature that prevents improper substitutions.
