MasterPacT MTZ Integration in Electrical Equipment
MasterPacT MTZ Electrical Equipment Operating Conditions
MasterPacT MTZ test conditions reproduce different customer environments, in accordance with product and installation standards and relevant maintenance operations * to maximize the product lifespan.
Operating Conditions
MasterPacT MTZ devices are designed for specified operating conditions in terms of temperature, humidity, vibration, altitude, corrosion, and electromagnetic disturbances.
Beyond the limits defined here, the circuit breakers suffer accelerated aging that may rapidly result in equipment breakdowns.
Refer to the MasterPacT Maintenance Guide for additional information and consult Schneider Electric to confirm mechanical and electrical performances in severe conditions.
Examples of applications with severe operating conditions:
-
wind turbines
-
power frequency converters installed in the same electrical equipment or close to the MasterPacT circuit breaker
-
emergency generators
-
high vibration marine applications such as thrusters and anchor positioning systems
Safety of Operations
The front face of the MasterPacT MTZ device provides reinforced insulation (Class 2) according to IEC 60664-1. It allows Class 2 installation with circuit breaker control from outside.
Ambient Temperature
MasterPacT MTZ devices are designed to operate in ambient temperature between -25°C (-13°F) and +70°C (+158°F), providing that the temperature around the circuit breaker inside the enclosure does not exceed +70°C (+158°F). If this condition cannot be fulfilled, dedicated measures such as HVAC must be taken.
MasterPacT MTZ devices have successfully passed the tests defined by the following standards for extreme atmospheric conditions:
-
Dry cold at -40°C (-40°F) (IEC 60068-2-1)
-
Dry heat at +85°C (+185°F) (IEC 60068-2-2)
-
Damp heat (temperature +55°C (+131°F), relative humidity 95%)
(IEC 60068-2-30)

Vibration Tests
MasterPacT MTZ devices have successfully passed testing in compliance with IEC 60068-2-6 for the following vibration levels:
-
2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude ±1 mm
-
13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g
Vibration testing to these levels is required by merchant marine inspection organizations (such as Veritas, and Lloyd’s).
Industrial Environmental Atmospheric Conditions
MasterPacT MTZ devices have successfully passed the tests defined by IEC 60068-2-52 level 2: salt mist for extreme atmospheric conditions:
MasterPacT devices can operate in the industrial environments defined by standard IEC/EN 60947-1 (pollution degree up to 3).
It is nevertheless advised to check that the devices are installed in suitably cooled electrical equipment without excessive dust.

Beyond these conditions, MasterPacT MTZ devices must be installed inside electrical equipment with an enclosure rating equal to or greater than a NEMA 13 rating.
Altitude
Electromagnetic Disturbances
MasterPacT MTZ devices are protected against:
-
Overvoltages caused by devices that generate electromagnetic disturbances.
-
Overvoltages caused by atmospheric disturbances or by a distribution-system outage (for example, failure of a lighting system).
-
Devices emitting radio waves (radios, walkie-talkies, radar, etc.).
-
Electrostatic discharges produced by users.
MasterPacT MTZ devices have successfully passed the electromagnetic compatibility tests (EMC) defined by IEC/EN 60947-2, Annex F.
This testing reduces the chance of:
-
Nuisance tripping
-
Tripping times outside of published curves
Immunity: ability of a device to operate without damage in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance.
Susceptibility: inability of a device to operate without damage in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance.
Conducted interference: disturbances generated by the device and transmitted by the conductors (of power supply, signalling, or control) in the form of electrical voltage.
Radiated interference: disturbances generated by the device and radiated in the environment in the form of electromagnetic waves.

MasterPacT MTZ Electrical Equipment Installation Rules
MasterPacT MTZ Device Installation
MasterPacT MTZ devices can be supplied either from the top or from the bottom without degrading performance, in order to facilitate connection when installed in electrical equipment.
Mounting the Circuit Breaker
The weight of the device must be distributed uniformly over a rigid mounting surface such as rails or a base plate.
This mounting plane must be perfectly flat (tolerance on support
flatness:
2 mm [0.08 in.]).
Mounting the circuit breaker to a mounting plate that does not meet the flatness requirements could interfere with the correct operation of the circuit breaker.
MasterPacT MTZ devices can also be mounted on a vertical plane using special brackets.
MasterPacT MTZ Position in Electrical Equipment
Electrical Equipment Partitions for MasterPacT MTZ Devices
Sufficient openings must be provided in partitions to maintain good air circulation around the circuit breaker. Any partition between upstream and downstream connections of the device must be made of non-magnetic material.
For high currents, 2500 A and above, the metal supports or barriers in the immediate vicinity of a conductor must be made of non-magnetic material [1].
Metal barriers [2] through which a conductor passes must not form a magnetic loop.
MasterPacT MTZ Electrical Equipment Busbars
Creating a magnetic loop around a conductor, (via the busbar support for example), must be strictly avoided.
To avoid this:
-
Either the busbar supports (A) and/or their mounting screws (B) must be made of non-magnetic materials.
-
Maintain minimum distances for control wires (C) and busbar (D).
Door Interlock
Door Interlock (VPEC)
Mounted on the right or left-hand side of the cradle, this device inhibits opening of the cubicle door when the circuit breaker is in “connected” or “test” position.
If the circuit breaker is put in the “connected” position with the door open, the door may be closed without having to disconnect the circuit breaker.

Circuit Breaker in Disconnected Position
Door can be opened
Mounted on the right or left-hand side of the cradle, this device inhibits opening of the cubicle door when the circuit breaker is in the “connected” or “test” position.
It the circuit breaker is put in the “connected” position with the door open, the door may be closed without having to disconnect the circuit breaker.
Power Connection
MasterPacT MTZ Electrical Equipment Cable Connections
If cables are used for the power connections, their weight must not be applied to the circuit breaker power terminals, but must be supported by the panel structure.
For this, make the connections as follows:
-
Extend the device terminals using short bars designed and installed according to the recommendations for bar-type power connections (see figure below):
-
For a single cable, use solution [1].
-
For a multiple cables, use solution [2].
-
-
In all cases, follow the general rules for connections to busbars:
-
Position the cable lugs before inserting the bolts
. -
Firmly secure the cables to the framework [3].
-
Busbar Connections
Install with a maximum distance A between busbar to circuit breaker connection and the first busbar support or spacer with respect to the value of the prospective short-circuit current.
-
The busbars must be suitably adjusted so that the connection points are positioned on the power terminals before the bolts [4] are inserted.
-
The busbars weight must be supported by the busbar supports [5] that are solidly fixed to the electrical equipment framework and not by the circuit breaker power terminals.
Electrodynamic Stresses
The first busbar support must be situated within the maximum distance (A) from the power terminal of the circuit breaker. This distance is required so that the busbar can withstand the electrodynamic stresses between phases in the event of a short circuit. The table below gives the maximum distance (A) according to the prospective short-circuit current Isc.
Temperature Derating
The current rating of a high-ampere circuit breaker is highly dependent on the actual conditions of installation and connection. Thus it is not possible to give strict values of current rating without performing a temperature rise test in the actual electrical equipment configuration.

NOTE: It is possible to add a second MX/MX diag&com or a MN/MN diag
voltage release. The second MX diag&com voltage release can only
be installed after the delivery of the circuit breaker. This is an
after-sales adaptation.

NOTE: Maximum length of the two wires
between A2–A3,/C20C3/C12/C13: 5 m (16 ft.).
For the maximum length of the wiring between the AC/DC power supply and the voltage release terminals A1–A3/C1–C3/C11–C13/D1–D2: see Shunt Close (XF), Shunt Trip (MX), and Undervoltage Release (MN) with Basic Coils. |
