Long-time protection
The long-time protection function protects cables (phases and neutral) against
overloads. This function is based on true rms measurements.

Thermal memory
The thermal memory continuously accounts for the amount of heat in the cables,
both before and after tripping, whatever the value of the current (presence of an
overload or not). The thermal memory optimises the long-time protection function of
the circuit breaker by taking into account the temperature rise in the cables. The
thermal memory assumes a cable cooling time of approximately 15 minutes.

Discovering your Overview of functions
control unit Current protection

For the characteristics and external wiring of the zone
selective interlocking function, see the technical
appendix on "Zone selective interlocking".
The portable test kit can be used to test the wiring
between circuit breakers for the zone selective
interlocking function.
Short-time protection
b The short-time protection function protects the distribution system against
impedant short-circuits
b The short-time tripping delay can be used to ensure discrimination with a
downstream circuit breaker
b This function carries out true rms measurements.
b The I2t ON and I2t OFF options enhance discrimination with downstream
protection devices
b Use of I2t curves with short-time protection:
v I2t OFF selected: the protection function implements a constant time curve;
v I2t ON selected: the protection function implements an I2t inverse-time
curve up to 10 Ir. Above 10 Ir, the time curve is constant.

b Zone selective interlocking (ZSI)

The short-time and ground-fault protection functions enable time discrimination
by delaying the upstream devices to provide the downstream devices the time
required to clear the fault. Zone selective interlocking can be used to obtain total
discrimination between circuit breakers using external wiring.

Instantaneous protection
b The instantaneous-protection function protects the distribution system against
solid short-circuits. Contrary to the short-time protection function, the tripping delay
for instantaneous protection is not adjustable.
The tripping order is sent to the circuit breaker as soon as current exceeds the set
value, with a fixed time delay of 20 milliseconds.
b This function carries out true rms measurements.

Protection of the fourth pole on four-pole

circuit breakers
Protection of the neutral conductor depends on the distribution system.
There are three possibilities.

Type of neutral Description

Neutral unprotected
Neutral protection
at 0.5 In
Neutral protection
at In
The distribution system does not require protection
of the neutral conductor.
The cross-sectional area of the neutral conductor is half that of
the phase conductors.
b The long-time current setting Ir for the neutral is equal
to half the setting value
b The short-time pick-up Isd for the neutral is equal
to half the setting value
b The instantaneous pick-up Isd (Micrologic 2.0 A) for
the neutral is equal to half the setting value
b The instantaneous pick-up Ii (Micrologic 5.0 A / 6.0 A / 7.0 A)
for the neutral is equal to the setting value.
The cross-sectional area of the neutral conductor is equal to that
of the phase conductors.
b The long-time current setting Ir for the neutral is equal
to the setting value
b The short-time pick-up Isd for the neutral is equal
to the setting value
b The instantaneous pick-ups Isd and Ii for the neutral
are equal to the setting value.

Neutral protection for three-pole devices

Neutral protection is not available on three-pole devices.

Ground-fault protection on Micrologic 6.0 A

b An ground fault in the protection conductors can provoke local temperature rise at
the site of the fault or in the conductors.
The purpose of the ground-fault protection function is to eliminate this type of fault.
b There are two types of ground-fault protection.

Type Description
Residual b The function determines the zero-phase sequence current, i.e.
the vectorial sum of the phase and neutral currents
Source Ground Return b Using a special external sensor, this function directly measures
the fault current returning to the transformer via the earth cable
b It detects faults both upstream and downstream of
the circuit breaker
b The maximum distance between the sensor and
the circuit breaker is ten metres.

b Ground-fault and neutral protection are independent and can therefore be

combined.

Ground-fault pick-up Ig and tripping delay tg

The pick-up and tripping-delay values can be set independently and are identical for
both the residual and "source ground return" ground-fault protection functions.

Earth-leakage protection on Micrologic 7.0 A

b The earth-leakage protection function primarily protects people against indirect
contact because an earth-leakage current can provoke an increase in the potential of
the exposed conductive parts. The earth-leakage pick-up value In is displayed
directly in amperes and the tripping delay follows a constant-time curve
b An external rectangular sensor is required for this function

 Technical appendix Zone selective interlocking (ZSI)

Operating principle
E51397B

b A fault occurs at point A.

Downstream device no. 2 clears the fault and sends a signal to upstream device
no. 1, which maintains the short-time tripping delay tsd or the ground-fault tripping
delay tg to which it is set.
b A fault occurs at point B.
Upstream device no. 1 detects the fault. In the absence of a signal from a
downstream device, the set time delay is not taken into account and the device trips
1 B
according to the zero setting. If it is connected to a device further upstream, it sends
a signal to that device, which delays tripping according to its tsd or tg setting.

Note:
On device no. 1, the tsd and tg tripping delays must not be set to zero because this would make
discrimination impossible.

Technical appendix Thermal memory

Thermal memory
The thermal memory is the means to take into account temperature rise and cooling
caused by changes in the flow of current in the conductors.

These changes may be caused by:

b repetitive motor starting
b loads fluctuating near the long-time protection settings
b repeated circuit-breaker closing on a fault.

Control units with a thermal memory record the temperature rise caused by each
overload, even very short ones. This information stored in the thermal memory
reduces the tripping time.

Micrologic control units and thermal memory

All Micrologic control units are equipped as standard with a thermal memory.

b For all protection functions, prior to tripping, the temperature-rise and cooling time
constants are equal and depend on the tr tripping delay:
v if the tripping delay is short, the time constant is low
v if the tripping delay is long, the time constant is high.

b For long-time protection, following tripping, the cooling curve is simulated by the
control unit. Closing of the circuit breaker prior to the end of the time constant
(approximately 15 minutes) reduces the tripping time indicated in the tripping curves.

Short-time protection and intermittent faults

For the short-time protection function, intermittent currents that do no provoke
tripping are stored in the Micrologic memory.
This information is equivalent to the long-time thermal memory and reduces the
tripping delay for the short-time protection.
Following a trip, the short-time tsd tripping delay is reduced to the value of the
minimum setting for 20 seconds.

Ground-fault protection and intermittent faults

The ground-fault protection implements the same function as the short-time
protection.
