HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
|
Connection or disconnection of the drawout device requires insertion of the racking handle. When interlocks, padlocks, or an open door lock are in place, the racking handle cannot be inserted.
Masterpact MTZ1 Drawout Positions
The indicator located on the front of the cradle locally signals the position of the device in the cradle.
Masterpact MTZ1 Drawout Position Contacts
The position of the device in the cradle is indicated remotely by the following position contacts:
-
CE: connected position.
-
CT: test position.
-
CD: disconnected position. The device is in the disconnected position when the minimum isolation distance between the main contacts and the auxiliary contacts is reached.
The state of the position contacts changes according to the device position during the racking-in and racking-out operations, as shown in the diagram below.
Masterpact MTZ1 Drawout Position Contact Without EIFE Ethernet Interface
Without EIFE Ethernet interface, the standard configuration of the position contacts can be added as follows:
-
2 CD disconnected position contacts
-
3 CE connected position contacts
-
1 CT test position contacts
Masterpact MTZ1 Drawout Position Contacts with EIFE Ethernet Interface
With EIFE Ethernet interface, two optional CE connected position contacts can be added.
Masterpact MTZ1 Cradle Management Function
The cradle management function is used to:
-
Record and check the position of the moving part of the drawout device in the cradle.
-
Provide information about preventive maintenance actions.
-
Notify the remote controller about the position of the drawout device.
The cradle management function is performed by:
-
The EIFE Ethernet interface (refer to Enerlin’X IFE Ethernet Interface for One Circuit Breaker - User Guide (DOCA0084EN), available on the Schneider Electric website).
-
The IO module (refer to Enerlin’X IO Input/Output Application Module for One Circuit Breaker - User Guide (0613IB1317), available on the Schneider Electric website).
