Introduction
Introduction
In terms of simple electrical theory and design, Canalis Busbar trunking is no different to a traditional cable distribution system. Consideration needs to be made towards checking and verifying the performance of Canalis against criteria such as: The full load design current. The prospective short circuit current in an installation. The prospective peak current in the event of a fault. The let through energy of the upstream protective device. Although a fairly straightforward process, this can be time consuming and the availability of data from the manufacturers of protective devices and busbar trunking can vary considerably. Both Merlin Gerin circuit breakers and Canalis Busbar trunking form part of the comprehensive Schneider Electric product portfolio. Through this close relationship, Schneider Electric has now been able to co-ordinate and enhance the performance of the two product ranges. The following tables make the selection and coordination of Canalis Busbar trunking and Merlin Gerin circuit breakers a simple, fast and reliable process. The supply of circuit protection and distribution products from a single source goes another step towards ensuring: Continuity of supply in the event of a fault. The safety of both property and personnel.

Coordination between Merlin Gerin circuit breakers and Telemecanique Canalis Busbar trunking systems

Overview
When chosing a circuit breaker to protect a busbar trunking system, it is necessary to take into account: Overload protection afforded by the upstream device: Ib Ir Inc where Ib = maximum load current Ir = circuit breaker over-current setting Inc = current rating of the busbar trunking Electrodynamic withstand of the busbar trunking: The peak current I limited by the circuit breaker must be less than the electrodynamic withstand capacity (or rated peak current) of the busbar trunking.

Coordination tables
The following tables (from page 6 onwards) for coordinating Merlin Gerin Multi 9, Compact, Compact CM and Masterpact circuit breakers with Telemecanique Canalis Busbar trunking, indicate the maximum prospective short circuit current for which the busbar is protected.

Example
Consider two 630 kVA/400 V transformers (Usc 4%) supplying a main LV switchboard for which the prospective short-circuit current on the busbars is 44 kA. From the switchboard, a 30-metre long Canalis KVC63 transmission busbar trunking system (630A) supplies a Canalis KSA63 trunking system (630A) for distribution with high-density tap-offs. A tap-off on the KSA63 trunking supplies a Canalis KSA16 trunking system. The short-circuit levels are: 44 kA downstream of circuit-breaker CB1 and at the upstream connection of the KVA63 trunking. 33 kA at the junction between the KVC63

Enhanced coordina
Enhanced coordination
One of the main keys to continuity of supply Enhanced coordination, ensures enhanced discrimination between circuit breakers is maintained, whilst going one step further to ensure that Canalis Busbar trunking is protected against the harmful thermal and mechanical stresses of a short circuit. Not only that, but the coordination and combined current limiting of two Merlin Gerin circuit breakers, means that Canalis can be provided with adequate protection by a circuit breaker operating above its normal current limiting capabilities. For example: A C60H circuit breaker could be used to offer overload and short circuit protection to KN 40A trunking up to a maximum prospective short circuit of 40kA. The following tables indicate that when an NS160H MCCB is used upstream: The maximum breaking capacity of the C60H is raised from 15kA to 40kA. Discrimination between the C60H and NS160H is to the maximum 40kA. Canalis short circuit protection is the maximum 40kA. The following tables are an easy to use, reliable source of coordination guidance, providing an opportunity for reduced installation costs and yet even higher levels of safety. These are but a few of the benefits of selecting protection and distribution equipment from the brands of a leading electrical equipment manufacturer, Schneider Electric. in an electrical installation is the use of discrimination. In the event of a fault, correctly applied discrimination will ensure that only the

Cascading is a principle which has been developed by Merlin Gerin and which is
85 85 85 85

recognised within the BS7671 Requirements for


85 85

Electrical Installations (wiring regulations). Cascading allows circuit breakers to be installed at a given point within an installation where the prospective short circuit current, is greater than the circuit breakers nominal breaking capacity. In order for this practice to be used, upstream protective devices are used to assist in the clearance of a short circuit. Traditionally, discrimination and cascading were principles, which needed to be considered separately. Successful cascading could be at the cost of discrimination, at higher fault current. Recent advances through the introduction of products such as Compact NS now mean that cascading and discrimination principles can be applied simultaneously. This ENHANCED DISCRIMINATION means that cascading can be applied to a product, and discrimination maintained, even at fault currents in excess of the downstream products breaking capacity. Today, Canalis is now able to become part of this coordination chain with the introduction of ENHANCED COORDINATION.

Enhanced coordination between Merlin Gerin circuit breakers and Telemecanique Canalis Busbar trunking systems

Circuit breaker selection and coordination


The use of current-limiting circuit breakers makes it possible to utilise coordination techniques. This improves circuit breaker performance in terms of breaking capacity and continuity of supply. Coordination techniques are described and recognised by the following standards: Product standards BSEN60947-1 and BSEN60947-2 BS7671 wiring regulations.

Enhanced coordination
This technique is the direct application of cascading and discrimination techniques to the protection of busbar trunking systems. For various upstream circuit breakers and upstream busbar trunking systems, the tables below indicate: 1 The level of short-circuit protection of the upstream busbar trunking;

Discrimination
In the event of an electrical fault on one outgoing circuit, discrimination is the ability of the electrical installation to maintain continuity of electrical supply to other adjacent circuits. As a general rule, cascading and discrimination techniques are applied independently. Schneider Electric has developed a unique system to combine cascading and discrimination. This system ensures discrimination up to the reinforced breaking capacity of the association of circuit breakers CB1 and CB2. The combination of discrimination and cascading principles is known as enhanced discrimination.
