MicroLogic Electronic Trip Systems

The thermal imaging function protects the cables or bus bars from overheating in case of low amplitude repetitive faults. Such overheating can be due to repetitive motor starting, fluctuating load, intermittent ground faults, or subsequent closing after a fault.

Traditional electronic protection does not protect against repetitive faults because the duration of each overload above the pickup setting is too short to achieve effective tripping. Nevertheless, each overload involves a temperature rise in the installation, the cumulative effect of which could lead to overheating of the system.

The thermal imaging function remembers and integrates the thermal heating caused by each pickup setting overrun. Before tripping, the integrated heating value will reduce the associated time delay and, therefore, the reaction of the trip unit will be closer to the real heating of the power network system. After tripping, the function will also reduce the time delay when closing the circuit breaker on an overload.

• Provides fault protection for LSIG functions.

• Provides LED trip indication (powered by an onboard battery).

• All display functions and trip unit features power-up with current flow on one phase greater than or equal to the values in the following table.

• The ground-fault push-to-trip button works for testing ground fault with current flow on one phase greater than or equal to the values shown in the following table.

The Ammeter (A) trip unit provides all of the above plus additional functionality when powered by external 24 Vdc power supply:

• Ammeter and bar graph displays are functional with or without current flowing through the circuit breaker.

• Trip settings and (Max) current readings can be accessed on the display by pressing navigation button with or without current flowing through the circuit breaker.

• Ground-fault push-to-trip button works for testing ground fault with or without current flowing through the circuit breaker.

• Optional Modbus™ communications—also requires a separate 24 Vdc power supply for the circuit breaker communications module.

The P and H trip units were designed to be used with the external 24 Vdc power supply. The large LCD display requires too much current to be powered by current flow through the circuit breaker. The P and H trip units do have a voltage power supply which will power the trip unit with 100 Vac or more between two phases or phase to neutral. The standard configuration for the voltage probes inside the circuit breaker is at the bottom connections. If the circuit breaker was open in a top fed application, there would be no voltage at the bottom of the circuit breaker and the trip unit would not be powered.

• Provides fault protection for LSIG functions.

• Provides LED trip indication (powered by an onboard battery).

• Provides all of the above.

• LCD display and backlight are functional.

• Ground-fault push-to-trip button works for testing ground fault.

• All metering, monitoring, and history logs are functional.

• Communications from trip unit to M2C and M6C programmable contact modules are powered by a 24 Vdc supply at F1 and F2. M6C also requires a 24 Vdc external power supply.

• Modbus communications—also requires a separate 24 Vdc power supply for the circuit breaker communications module.

The sensing system responds to the flow of current through the circuit breaker. Electronic trip circuit breakers are limited to ac systems because the electronic trip system uses current transformers to sense the current. The MicroLogic trip unit samples the current waveform to provide true RMS protection through the 15th harmonic.

This true RMS sensing gives accurate values for the magnitude of a non-sinusoidal waveform. Therefore, the heating effects of harmonically distorted waveforms are accurately evaluated.

The MicroLogic H trip unit provides additional sampling of the waveforms to measure and provide waveform capture of harmonic distortion to the 31st harmonic.

MasterPact Universal Power Circuit Breakers use MicroLogic electronic trip systems to sense overcurrents and trip the circuit breaker. The MicroLogic basic trip unit is standard and all MasterPact circuit breakers can be equipped with the optional MicroLogic trip systems listed below:

MicroLogic A trip units measure the true RMS value of currents. They provide continuous current measurement from 0.2 to 20 x I_n with an accuracy of 1.5% (including sensors). No auxiliary source is needed where I > 0.2 x I_n. The optional external power supply (24 Vdc) makes it possible to display currents where I < 0.2 x I_n and to store values of the interrupted current. A digital LCD screen continuously displays the most heavily loaded phase (Imax) or displays the Ia, Ib, Ic, Ig, and (on 4-pole circuit breakers only) In stored current and setting values by successively pressing the navigation button.

Four wire Modbus, RTU, RS485 or two-wire Modbus, TRU, RS485 plus ULP. See 4P Fixed Circuit Breakers.

In conjunction with an optional communication network, the trip unit transmits the following parameters:

• Setting values

• All ammeter measurements

• Tripping causes

The adjustable protection functions of the 5.0P and 6.0P trip units are identical to those of MicroLogic A trip unit (overloads, short circuits, equipment ground-fault protection); see MicroLogic 2.0A, 5.0A, and 6.0A Trip Units with Ammeter.

These units also feature:

• Fine adjustment: Within the range below the rotary switch setting, fine adjustments of pickups/delays in steps of 1 A/s (except for short-time and ground-fault) are possible on the keypad or remotely by the communication network.

• Inverse definite minimum time lag (IDMTL) setting: Coordination with fuse-type or medium-voltage protection systems is optimized by adjusting the long-time delay curve around 6 x I_r axis. This setting ensures better coordination with certain loads.

• Neutral protection: On three-pole circuit breakers, neutral protection may be set using the keypad or remotely using the communication network to one of four positions:

  • OFF

  • 1/2N (1/2 x I_n)

  • 1N (1 x I_n)

  • 2N (2 x I_n)

When the cover is closed, the keypad may no longer be used to change the protection settings, but it still provides access to the displays for measurements, histories, indicators, etc. Depending on the thresholds and time delays set, the MicroLogic P trip unit monitors current, voltage, power, frequency, and phase sequence. Each threshold overrun may be via the communication network.

Each threshold overrun may be combined with tripping (protection) or an indication carried out by an optional M2C/M6C programmable contact (alarm), or both (protection and alarm).

The maintenance record can be consulted using the full-function test kit or remotely via the communication network. It can be used as an aid in troubleshooting and to assist scheduling for device maintenance operations.

Recorded indications include:

• Highest current measured

• Operation counter (both cumulative total and total since last reset)

• Number of test kit connections

• Number of trips in operating mode

• Contact wear (MasterPact NW circuit breakers only)

Load shedding and reconnection parameters can be set according to the power or the current flowing through the circuit breaker. Load shedding is carried out by a remote computer via the communication network or by an M2C or M6C programmable contact.

The M2C (two contacts) and M6C (six contacts) programmable contacts may be used to signal threshold overruns or status changes. They can be programmed using the keypad on the MicroLogic P and H trip units or remotely using the communication network. These contacts are required to obtain data from the protective relay functions on Type P and Type H trip units.

The last ten trips and ten alarms are recorded in two separate history files that can be displayed on the screen (sample displays are shown to the right). The following information is contained in these files:

Trip History

• Type of fault

• Date and time of fault

• Interrupted current

• Contact wear

Alarm History

• Type of alarm

• Date and time of the alarm

• Values measured at the time of the alarm

Current Metering

Maximum Current

Voltage Metering

Power Metering

Frequency

Power Demand

The MicroLogic P trip unit calculates in real time all electrical values V, A, W, VAR, VA, Wh, VARh, VAh, Hz, power factor, and crest factor. The MicroLogic P trip unit also calculates demand current and demand power over an adjustable time period.

Real-Time Metering: The value displayed on the screen is refreshed every second. Minimum and maximum measurement values are stored in memory.

Demand Metering: The demand is calculated over a fixed or sliding time window that can be programmed from five to sixty minutes. Depending on the contract signed with the power supplier, specific programming makes it possible to avoid or minimize the cost of overrunning the subscribed power. Maximum demand values are systematically stored and time stamped.

Four wire Modbus, RTU, RS485—The communication network may be used to:

• Remotely read parameters for the protection functions.

• Transmit all the measurements and calculated values.

• Signal the causes of tripping and alarms.

• Consult the history files and the maintenance indicator record.

In addition, an event log of the last 100 events and a maintenance record, which is stored in the trip unit memory but not available locally, may be accessed via the communication network.

The Modbus communication system is compatible with Powerlogic System Manager^TM (SMS) software.

The event log may be accessed by a remote computer via the communication network. All events are time stamped and include:

• Trips

• Beginning and end of alarms

• Modifications to settings and parameters

• Loss of time

• Overrun of wear indicators

• Test kit connections.

• Counter resets

• System faults (thermal self-protection, major fault and minor fault alarms)

The MicroLogic H trip unit offers all the measurements carried out by the MicroLogic P trip unit, with the addition of phase-by-phase measurements of power and energy as well as calculation of:

• Current and voltage total harmonic distortion (THD, thd).

• Current, voltage and power fundamentals (50/60 Hz).

• Harmonic components (amplitude and phase) up to the 31st current and voltage harmonic.

Real-time metering: The value displayed on the screen is refreshed every second. The table below shows what is measured in real-time metering.

Demand Metering: Similar to the MicroLogic P trip unit, demand values are calculated over a fixed or sliding time window that can be set from five to 60 minutes.

MicroLogic H trip units can capture and store current and voltage waveforms using digital sampling techniques similar to those used in oscilloscopes. Using the information available in the captured waveform, it is possible to determine the level of harmonics as well as the direction and amplitude of the flow of harmonic power.

Users of MicroLogic H trip units can record manually via the keypad the following waveforms:

• The four currents: I_a, I_b, I_c, and I_N

• The three phase-to-phase voltages: V_ab, V_bc, and V_ca

Waveforms may be displayed on the graphic screen of MicroLogic H trip units or communicated over a networked system. The recording takes place over one cycle with a measurement range of 0 to 1.5 I_N for current and 0 to 690 volts for voltage. The resolution is sixty-four points per cycle.

The instantaneous value of each measurement can be compared to user-set high and low thresholds. Overrun of a threshold generates an alarm. Programmable action can be linked to each alarm, including circuit breaker opening, activation of an M2C or M6C contact, recording of measurements in a log, etc.

Each event is recorded with:

• The date, time, and name of the event.

• The event characteristics.

• Setting the display language: System messages can be displayed in six different languages:

  • English - US

  • English - UK

  • French

  • German

  • Spanish

  • Italian

The desired language is selected via the keypad.

• Protection functions: All current-based protection functions require no auxiliary source. Voltage-based protection functions are connected to ac power via a voltage measurement input built into the circuit breaker on the bottom side. (Optional external voltage measurement is available.)

• Accuracy of measurements (including sensors):

  • Voltage (V) 1%

  • Current (A) 1.5% (higher accuracy [1%] may be achieved with special calibration on the current transformer [CT characterization option])

  • Frequency (Hz) 0.1 Hz

  • Power (W) and energy (Wh) 2.5%

  • The MicroLogic H trip unit uses a dedicated metering data chain separate from the protection data chain so that a greater number of data samples can be used for metering. This increases the number of samples taken per time period, which in turn gives the H trip unit a higher degree of metering accuracy.

• Stored information: The fine setting adjustments, the last 100 events and the maintenance record remain in the trip unit memory even when power is lost.

• Reset: An individual reset, via the keypad or remotely, will reset alarms, minimum and maximum data, peak values, counters and the indicators.

Long-Time Trip Functions

The long-time pickup switch sets the maximum current level the circuit breaker will carry continuously. The maximum current level (I_r) is the long-time pickup setting multiplied by the sensor plug amperage (I_n). If the current exceeds this value for longer than the long-time delay time, the circuit

breaker will trip.

The long-time delay switch sets the length of time that the circuit breaker will carry a sustained overload before tripping. Delay bands are labeled in seconds of overcurrent at six times the ampere rating. For maximum coordination, there are eight delay bands. Long-time delay is an “inverse time” characteristic in that the delay time decreases as the current increases.

The trip unit includes an alarm indicator that will be lit continuously when the current is above 100% of the pickup setting.

Short-Time and Instantaneous Trip Functions

The short-time pickup switch sets the short-circuit current level at which the circuit breaker will trip after the set short-time delay. The short-time current (I_sd) equals the short-time pickup setting multiplied by the long-time pickup (I_r).

The short-time delay switch sets the length of time the circuit breaker will carry a short circuit within the short-time pickup range. The delay (based on 10 times the ampere rating I_r) can be adjusted to four positions of I²t ramp operation (I²t ON) or five positions of fixed time delays (I²t OFF). I²t ON delay is an “inverse time” characteristic in that the delay time decreases as the current increases. Short-time delay for the 2.0 trip unit is fixed at a delay band of 20 to 80 ms.

The instantaneous pickup switch sets the short-circuit current level at which the circuit breaker will trip with no intentional time delay. The instantaneous current (I_i) is equal to the instantaneous pickup setting multiplied by the sensor plug amperage (I_n).

The instantaneous function will override the short-time function if the instantaneous pickup is adjusted at the same or lower setting than the short-time pickup. In trip units with both adjustable short-time and instantaneous trip functions, the adjustable instantaneous trip can be disabled by setting Instantaneous pickup to OFF.

Ground-Fault Trip Functions

The ground-fault pickup switch sets the current level at which the circuit breaker will trip after the set ground-fault delay. Ground-fault pickup values (I_g) are based on circuit breaker sensor plug (I_n) only, not on the rating plug multiplier (I_r). Changing the rating plug multiplier has no effect on ground-fault pickup values.

The ground-fault delay switch sets the length of time the circuit breaker will carry ground-fault current which exceeds the ground-fault pickup level before tripping. The delay (based on the sensor plug amperage (I_n) can be adjusted to four positions of I²t ramp operation (I²t ON) or five positions of fixed time delays (I²t OFF). I²t ON delay is an “inverse time” characteristic in that the delay time decreases as the current increases.

The wiring system is designed for low-voltage power switchboards. Installation does not require special tools or training. The prefabricated wiring ensures both data transmission (Modbus protocol) and 24 Vdc power distribution for the communications modules on the MicroLogic trip units.

The MasterPact can be integrated into Ethernet and Modbus communication environment.

There are four possible functional levels that can be combined.

A: MicroLogic trip unit with ammeter

P: MicroLogic trip unit “Power”

H: MicroLogic trip unit “Harmonics”

The Modbus RS 485 (RTU protocol) system is an open bus on which communicating Modbus devices (MasterPact NW with Modbus COM, Power Meter PM700, PM800, PowerPact P/Rframe, etc.) are installed. All types of PLCs and microcomputers may be connected to the bus.

Addresses

The Modbus communication parameters (address, baud rate, parity) are entered using the keypad on the MicroLogic A, P, or H trip unit. For a switch, it is necessary to use the Electrical Asset Manager or RSU (Remote Setting Utility) MicroLogic utility.

Number of Devices

The maximum number of devices that may be connected to the Modbus bus depends on the type of device (Compact circuit breaker with Modbus COM, PM700, PM800, MasterPact circuit breaker, etc.), the baud rate (19200 is recommended), the volume of data exchanged and the desired response time. The RS 485 physical layer offers up to thirty-two connection points on the bus (one master, thirty-one slaves).

Length of Bus

The maximum recommended length for the Modbus bus is 3940 feet (1200 meters).

Bus Power Source

A 24 Vdc power supply is required (less than 20% ripple, insulation class II).

Ethernet is a data link and physical layer protocol defined by IEEE 802 10 and 100 Mbps specifications that connects computer or other Ethernet devices. Ethernet is an asynchronous Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision detection (referred as CSMA/CD) protocol. Carrier Sense means that the hosts can detect whether the medium (coaxial cable) is idle or busy.

Multiple Access means that multiple hosts can be connected to the common medium. Collision Detection means a host detects whether its transmission has collided with the transmission of another host (or hosts).

IFE Ethernet interface can be connected to a PC or a laptop over Ethernet. The maximum length of Ethernet cable is 325 feet (100 meters). IFE Ethernet interface + gateway provides a Modbus TCP/IP gateway over Ethernet to enable Modbus TCP communication from a Modbus TCP master to any Modbus slave devices connected to it. The maximum active Modbus TCP client connection is twelve.

IFE Ethernet interface has an embedded web server (web page).

Introduction

Provides Ethernet access to one or several low-voltage circuit breakers.

Functions:

• Interface - one circuit breaker is connected to the IFE interface using its ULP port.

• Gateway: several circuit breakers on a Modbus network are connected using the IFE interface + gateway master Modbus port.

IFE Interface + Gateway

IFE Interface, IFE Interface + Gateway Screen

The IFE interface and IFE interface + gateway are DIN rail mounted devices. A stacking accessory enables the user to connect several IFMs (ULP to Modbus interfaces) to an IFE interface + gateway without additional wiring.

The IFE interface and the IFE interface + gateway must always be supplied with 24 Vdc.

The IFMs stacked to an IFE interface + gateway have power supplied by the IFE interface + gateway, thus it is not necessary to supply them separately. It is recommended to use a UL listed and recognized limited voltage/limited current or a class 2 power supply with a 24 Vdc, 3 A maximum.

The connection to an IFE interface or IFE interface + gateway requires a communication module embedded into the circuit breaker:

• MasterPact NT/NW (fixed or drawout) circuit breakers: BCM ULP communication module

• Drawout MasterPact NT/NW circuit breakers: BCM ULP and its respective I/O (Input/Output) application module

All connection configurations for MasterPact NT/NW circuit breakers require the circuit breaker ULP cord. The insulated NSX cord is mandatory for system voltages greater than 480 Vac. When the second ULP RJ45 connector is not used, it must be closed with a ULP terminator (TRV00880).

IFM Modbus Communication Interface. Ref.: TRV00210

An IFM Modbus communication interface is required for connection of a MasterPact or PowerPact circuit breaker to a Modbus network as long as this circuit breaker is provided with a ULP (Universal Logic Plug) port. The port is available on the BCM ULP.

Once connected, the circuit breaker is considered as a slave by the Modbus master. Its electrical values, alarm status, open/close signals can be monitored or controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller or any other system.

ULP Port

Two RJ45 sockets, internal parallel wiring.

• Connection of a single circuit breaker.

• A ULP line terminator or an FDM121 display unit must be connected to the second RJ45 ULP socket.

• The RJ45 sockets deliver a 24 Vdc supply fed from the Modbus socket.

• Built-in test function, for checking the correct connection to the circuit breaker and FDM121 display unit.

Modbus Slave Port

• Top socket for screw-clamp connector, providing terminals for:

  • 24 Vdc input supply (0 V, +24 V)

  • Modbus line (D1, D2, Gnd) two-wire Modbus system

• Lateral socket, for DIN-rail stackable connector. Both top and lateral sockets are internally parallel wired.

• Multiple IFMs can be stacked, thus sharing a common power supply and Modbus line without individual wiring.

• On the front face:

  • Modbus address setting (1 to 99): two coded rotary switches

  • Modbus locking pad: enables or disable the circuit breaker remote control and modification of IFM parameters

• Self-adjusting communication format (Baud rate, parity).

I/O Application Module

The I/O (Input/Output) application module for an low-voltage circuit breaker is part of an ULP system with built-in functions and applications to enhance the application needs. The ULP system architecture can be built without any restrictions using the wide range of circuit breakers.

The I/O application module is compliant with the ULP system specifications.

Two I/O application modules can be connected in the same ULP network.

The ranges of low-voltage circuit breakers enhanced by the I/O application module are:

• MasterPact NW

• MasterPact NT

• PowerPact R-Frame

• PowerPact P-Frame

The I/O application module resources are:

• Six digital inputs that are self powered for either NO and NC dry contact or pulse counter.

• Three digital outputs that are a bistable relay (5 A maximum).

• One analog input for PT100 temperature sensor.

The pre-defined application adds new functions to the I/O application module by:

• Selection by the application rotary switch on the I/O application module, defining the application with pre-defined input/output assignment and wiring diagram.

• No additional setting with the customer engineering tool required.

The resources not assigned to the pre-defined application are free for additional user-defined applications:

• cradle management

• circuit breaker operation

• cradle management + ERMS (Energy Reduction Maintenance Setting)

  NOTE: Use only MicroLogic P or H trip units with the blue ERMS label for energy reduction maintenance setting systems. Review the I/O module user guide 0613IB1317 and ERMS installation instructions NHA67346 for details on installation, testing, and operation of the ERMS system.

• light and load control

• custom

User-defined applications are processed by the I/O application module in addition to the pre-defined application selected.

The user-defined applications are available depending on:

• the pre-defined application selected

• the I/O application module resources (inputs and outputs) not used by the application

The resources required by user-defined applications are assigned using the customer engineering tool:

• protection

• control

• energy management

• monitoring

The I/O application module is a DIN rail mounted device. Install on a steel DIN rail that is properly grounded near the device.

The application rotary switch enables the selection of the pre-defined application. It has nine positions and each position is assigned to a pre-defined application. The factory set position of the switch is pre-defined application one.

The setting locking pad on the front panel of the I/O application module enables the setting of the I/O application module by the customer engineering tool.

The Ecoreach engineering tool includes the Schneider Electric customer engineering tools such as the Remote Setting Utility (RSU) and Remote Control Utility (RCU) with additional features.

The Ecoreach engineering tool supports the connection of Schneider Electric communicable devices to:

• create projects by device discovery, selection of devices, and importing a Bill of Material (BOM)

• monitor the status of protection and I/O status

• read information (alarms, measurements, parameters)

• check protection discrimination between two devices

• upload and download of configuration or settings in batch mode to multiple devices.

• carry out commands and tests

• generate and print a device settings report and communication test report

• manage multiple devices with a electrical and communication hierarchy model

• manage artifacts (project documents)

• check consistency in settings between devices on a communication network

• compare configuration settings between PC and device (online)

• download latest firmware

The Ecoreach engineering tool enables the user to access the advanced features of the software once the project is saved in the Schneider Electric cloud.
