100 Millisecond, Arc-Rated MCC, Upstream Over-Current Protection Device (OCPD) Requirements

The OCPD external to and upstream of the MCC must meet the following criteria:

The current rating of the upstream OCPD must be equal to or less than the main device and main bus rating of the MCC.
The voltage rating of the upstream OCPD must be equal to or greater than the voltage rating of the MCC. The maximum voltage is 600 V.
The interrupting rating of the upstream OCPD must be equal to or greater than the available short circuit current. The maximum available short circuit current is 65,000 A.
The instantaneous trip setting (if available) of the upstream OCPD must NOT be turned off and must be set to trip at or below 35,000 A.
The short time delay trip setting (if available) of the upstream OCPD MUST be set to the OFF position; no intentional delay is allowed.
Approved circuit breakers that can be used as the upstream OCPD:
- 15–125 A, PowerPacT™ B-frame circuit breakers manufactured by Schneider Electric
- 15–150 A, PowerPacT H-frame circuit breakers manufactured by Schneider Electric
- 175–250 A, PowerPacT J-frame circuit breakers manufactured by Schneider Electric
- 300–600 A, PowerPacT L-frame circuit breakers equipped with MicroLogic™ trip units, manufactured by Schneider Electric
- 700–1200 A, PowerPacT PJ- or PL-frame circuit breakers equipped with MicroLogic trip units, manufactured by Schneider Electric
- 1200–2500 A, PowerPacT R-frame circuit breakers equipped with MicroLogic trip units, manufactured by Schneider Electric
- 800–1200 A, MasterPacT™ NT and MTZ1 circuit breakers equipped with MicroLogic trip units, manufactured by Schneider Electric
- 1600–2500 A, MasterPacT NW and MTZ2 circuit breakers equipped with MicroLogic trip units, manufactured by Schneider Electric
Approved fuses that can be used as the upstream OCPD:
- 15–600 A, UL Listed, Class RK1 from any manufacturer
- 15–600 A, UL Listed, Class RK5 from any manufacturer
- 15–600 A, UL Listed, Class J from any manufacturer
- 700–2500 A, UL Listed, Class L from any manufacturer
