1. Description

The SACE Emax series of circuit-breakers and disconnectors consists of a steel sheet structure which houses the operating mechanism, the poles and the auxiliary parts. Each pole, insulated from the others, contains the circuit-breaking parts and the current transformer of the corresponding phase.

The structure of the poles differs according to whether the circuit-breaker is selective or current-limiting.

The fixed version circuit-breaker has its own terminals for connection to the power circuit; in the withdrawable version the circuitbreaker comprises the moving part of the apparatus, which is completed with a fixed part fitted with the terminals for connection to the power circuit of the installation. The moving part and the fixed part coupled by means of special contacts installed in the fixed part.

2. Checking on receipt

Examine the state of the material received and its consistency with the content of the order. Should any damage or errors be found on unpacking, which must be carried out carefully, make the relative notification within and not over 5 days from the receipt of the material. The notification must indicate the number of the shipping note.

3. Storage, lifting and weights

The circuit-breaker, protected by an external wooden crate, is fixed by means of screws to the transport pallet or to the bottom of the packing case.

If the circuit-breaker has to remain in the warehouse even for a short time before being put into service, after checking it on receipt, it must be put back in its container and covered with a waterproof sheet.

CAUTION:

-Use a dry, dust-free room free of aggressive chemical agents as a storage room,

-Position the circuit-breaker and any fixed part on a horizontal surface, not in direct contact with the floor, but on a suitable support surface (Fig. 5);

-The maximum number of stackable circuit-breakers is indicated in figure 6,

-Keep the circuit-breaker in the open position and with the closing springs unloaded to avoid unnecessary stresses and the risk of accidents to the person.

Fig. 5 Fig. 6

With regard to lifting, follow the instructions: the circuit-breakers must be placed on a sturdy supporting surface and lifted, preferably, by means of a special fork-lift truck. However, the use of ropes is allowed. In this case, the lifting ropes must be hooked up as shown in the figures (the lifting plates are always supplied with the circuit-breaker).

5.1.2. Examples of positioning the connection busbars according to the types of terminals

The connection busbars enable the connection between the terminals of the circuit-breakers and the busbars of the switchgear.

Their sizing must be carefully studied by the switchgear designer. Some examples of possible constructions in relation to the shape and size of the circuit-breaker terminals are given in this paragraph. The various types of terminals are of constant dimensions for each size of circuit-breaker: it is normally advisable to exploit the whole contact surface of the terminal, so the width of the connection busbars should be the same as that of the terminal. Different connection capacities can be obtained by adjusting the thickness and number of busbars in parallel. In some cases, reductions in the width of the connection in relation to that of the terminal are allowable as shown in the following examples.

5.1.3. Assembly procedure for the connection busbars

Check the state of the contact surfaces of the connections very carefully: they must be very clean with no burrs, dents or traces of rust which must be eliminated using a fine file or an emery cloth to prevent localized increases in temperature. On completion of the operation, remove all traces of grease or dust with a cloth soaked in a suitable solvent. When alluminium connections the contact surfaces must be tinned.

The connections must not exert any strain on the terminals in any direction.

Always insert a large-diameter flat washer and a spring washer between them (to spread the tightening pressure over a greater area).

Make the contact between connection and terminal and tighten the fixing screws completely.

Always use two wrenches (so as not to strain the insulating parts excessively), applying the tightening torque indicated in Fig.

18. Check tightness after 24 hours.

7.2. Circuit-breaker closing and opening procedures

The operation of the circuit-breaker can be either manual or electrical.

a) Manual loading of the closing springs

-Make sure that the indicator (3) shows “O” (circuit-breaker open)

-Make sure that the indicator (6) is WHITE (springs unloaded)

-Repeatedly activate the lever (2) until the indicator (6) changes its color to YELLOW b) Electrical loading of the closing springs

The electrical loading of the circuit-breaker is possible when the following accessories (supplied on request) are present:

– geared motor for automatic loading of the closing springs

– shunt closing release

– shunt opening release.

The geared motor automatically reloads the springs after each closing operation until the yellow indicator appears (6, Fig. 25).

When the power is cut off during loading, the geared motor stops and automatically starts reloading the springs again when the power returns. It is, in any case, always possible to complete the reloading operation manually.

Fig. 25

2

3 6 c) Closing the circuit-breaker

The operation can only be carried out with the closing springs fully loaded. For manual closing, press the pushbutton (5) marked with the letter “I”. When there is a shunt closing release, the operation can be carried out remotely by means of the special control circuit. The special indicator (3) changes to indicate “I” to signal that the circuit-breaker has closed. Furthermore, the indicator of the state of the springs (6) goes to the WHITE position.

Even with the closing springs unloaded, the operating mechanism retains enough energy for the opening operation. The geared motor, if any, immediately starts the automatic spring reloading operation.

WARNING

A) Open the circuit-breaker before carrying out any racking-in/out operation.

B) The circuit-breaker (moving part) and fixed part are fitted with a lock which prevents the fixed part from being racked into the circuit-breakers with a different rated current: the congruence of the anti-racking-in lock must be checked by the operator before carrying out the racking-in operation to avoid any unnecessary stress.

C) Before the racking-in operation, remove any padlock on the segregation shutter of the isolation terminals on the fixed part.

WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Ensure that the circuit-breaker is either disconnected from all power sources and that the circuit breaker is open before performing any racking-in/out operation.

10. Accessories

10.1. Electrical accessories

Shunt opening/closing (YO/YC) and second shunt opening release (Y02)

This allows remote opening or closing control of the apparatus. Given the characteristics of the circuit-breaker operating mechanism, opening (with the circuit-breaker closed) is always possible, whereas closing is only possible when the closing springs are loaded. Most of the releases can operate with either direct or alternating current. This release carries out an instantaneous service

(*), but can be supplied permanently (**).

In uses where the shunt closing release is supplied permanently, to carry out the circuit-breaker reclosing operation after opening, it is necessary to momentarily de-energize the shunt closing release (the circuit-breaker operating mechanism reclosing is, in fact, fitted with an antipumping device).

In some versions it is necessary to have a very high degree of safety for the remote opening control of the circuit-breaker, and, in particular, the duplication of the control circuit of the shunt opening release is required. In order to achieve this, you can fit the

SACE Emax circuit-breakers with a second shunt opening release. The second shunt opening release is located in the same seat as the undervoltage release and its technical characteristics are the same as the standard shunt opening release

(*) In the case of instantaneous service, the minimum duration of the current impulse must be 100 ms.

(**) In the case of permanent power supply to the shunt opening release, you must wait for at least 30 ms before giving the opening control to the shunt closing release.

Undervoltage release (YU)

The undervoltage release opens the circuit-breaker in the case of a considerable drop or lack of its power supply voltage. It can be used for remote tripping (by means of normally closed type pushbuttons), as a lock on closing or to control the voltage in the primary and secondary circuits. The release power supply is therefore branched on the supply side of the circuit-breaker or from an independent source. Circuit-breaker closing is only allowed with the release powered (the closing lock is carried out mechanically). Most releases can operate with either direct or alternating current.

Time delay device for undervoltage release (D)

The undervoltage release can be combined with an electronic time-delay device for installing outside the circuit-breaker, which enables a delay in the tripping of the release with preset, adjustable times. The use of the delayed undervoltage release is recommended when the power supply network of the release can be subject to power cuts or short-lived voltage drops, in order to avoid trips.

When it is not supplied, circuit-breaker closing is prevented.

The time-delay device has to be combined with an undervoltage release with the same voltage as the time-delay device.

Mechanical and electrical trip signalling for overcurrent releases

The following signals are available following tripping of the overcurrent release: a) Mechanical trip signalling for overcurrent releases

This enables a visual signalling on the operating mechanism by pushing the trip pushbutton in when the circuit-breaker has been opened following tripping of an overcurrent release. The circuit-breaker can only be closed again by putting the pushbutton back into its normal position included in the standard configuration.

Reference figure in the electrical circuit diagrams: S51 (13).

b) Electrical and mechanical trip signalling for overcurrent releases

This enables a visual signalling on the operating mechanism (mechanical) and remotely (electrically by means of a changeover switch) of the circuit-breaker being opened following a trip of the overcurrent releases. To reset the circuit-breaker, it is necessary to reset the mechanical indicator pushbutton.

Reference figure in the electrical circuit diagrams: S51 (13).

c) Coil for resetting the mechanical release trip indicator

This enables a visual signalling on the operating mechanism (mechanical) and remotely (electrically by means of a changeover switch) of the circuit- breaker being opened following a trip of the overcurrent releases.

Reference figure in the electrical circuit diagrams: UI/N b) Homopolar toroid for the power supply earthing conductor (star center of the transformer)

PR122 and PR123 microprocessor-based electronic releases may be used in combination with an external toroid located on the conductor, which connects the star center of the MV/LV transformer (homopolar transformer) to earth: in this case, the earth protection is defined as Source Ground Return.

The In of the toroid can be regulated to 100 A, 250 A, 400 A, 800 A by using different combinations of the connections.

Reference figure in the electrical circuit diagrams: UI/0.

c) Homopolar toroid for residual current protection

The toroid enables the residual current protection to be activated and can be combined with the PR122/P LSIRc, PR122/P LSIG releases (with PR120/V) and PR123/P. The accessory is for installation on the busbars and is available in different sizes: up to

3200A for three- and four-pole circuit-breakers, up to 4000A for three-pole circuit-breakers.

d) Mechanical operations counter

This is connected to the operating mechanism by means of a simple lever mechanism. It indicates the number of circuit-breaker mechanical operations. The indication is visible on the front of the circuit-breaker from the outside.

10.2. Mechanical locks a-b) Lock in open positiono

Different mechanisms are available which enable the circuit-breaker to be locked in the open position.

These devices can be controlled by:

-a key (a): a special circular lock with different keys (for a single circuit-breaker) or with the same keys (for several circuit-breakers).

In the latter case, up to four different key code numbers are available.

-padlocks (b): up to 3 padlocks (not supplied): Ø 4 mm..

c) Circuit-breaker lock in connected - test isolated - disconnected position

Transparent protection covers a) Protection covers for opening and closing pushbuttons

These protection covers, applied over the opening and closing pushbuttons, prevent the corresponding circuit-breaker operations except by using a special tool.

b) IP54 door protection

This is provided by means of a transparent plastic escutcheon plate which fully protects the front of the circuit-breaker and ensures a degree of protection to IP54. Mounted on hinges, it is fitted with a key lock.

Interlock between circuit-breakers

This mechanism makes the mechanical interlock between two or three circuit-breakers (even of different sizes and in any fixed/ withdrawable version) by means of a flexible cable. The electrical circuit diagram for the electrical changeover by means of a relay (to be provided by the customer) is supplied with the mechanical interlock. The circuit-breakers can be installed vertically or horizontally.

4 types of interlocks are available: type A: between 2 circuit-breakers (power supply + emergency) type B: between 3 circuit-breakers (2 power supplies + emergency) type C: between 3 circuit-breakers (2 power supplies + bus-tie) type D: between 3 circuit-breakers (3 power supplies / a single closed circuit-breaker)

The emergency power supply is generally supplied in order to substitute the normal power supply in two cases:

-to supply safety services for people.

-to supply essential parts of the installation for other than the safety services.

The change over from the normal supply to the emergency supply, can be done manually (with a local or remote control) or automatically. For the change over, the circuit-breakers must be supplied with the necessary accessories for the electrical remote control and for electrical and mechanical interlocks provided for the changing over.

The accessories can be for example:

-the shunt opening release

-the shunt closing release

-the motor operator

-the auxiliary contacts

For the change over, the customer can use a suitable electronic relay, whose diagram is supplied by ABB SACE. The mechanical interlocks between two or three circuit-breakers are made by means of cables that can be used for circuit-breakers installed, either side-by-side or one over the other.

11. Protection releases - General notes

Emax, the range of ABB air circuit-breakers, now has a new range of electronic relays.

These are called PR121, PR122 and PR123, and they substitute the previous range PR111, PR112 and PR113.

The new protection releases integrate all the functions of their predecessors, adding new and interesting technical features that are useful for satisfying every current and future system installation need.

Every operational requirement is now met thanks to the different performance levels of the new relays and of the additional modules that can be fitted inside them (PR120/V, PR120/K, PR120/D-M, PR120/D-BT).

A table can best illustrate the technical features and the mix and matchability of the three relays.

3-pole and 4-pole low voltage air circuit-breakers. The unit’s user interface also enables parameter setup and complete pre-alarm and alarm management with LED warning/alarm indicators for the protection and watchdog functions.

Depending on the version, the protections available are as follows:

Symbol

L

I

S

G

Protection against overload with inverse long time delay short-circuit with adjustable delay nstantaneous short-circuit earth fault with adjustable delay

The PR121/P can be installed on 3-pole CBs with and without an external neutral, or on 4-pole CBs.

It should be noted that the reference current for the PR121/P is the In (the rated current defined by the Rating Plug) and not the

Iu (the uninterrupted rated current of the CB itself).

Example: the CB E1B800 with a 400A Rating Plug has an Iu of 800A and an In of 400A.

The unit opens the circuit-breaker in which it is installed by means of the TC, which takes effect directly on the device’s mechanical leverism.

The unit is made using digital microprocessor technology and interfaces with the user by means of DIP switches. The unit’s protection parameters and general operating mode can be set entirely by the user.

12.2.2.1. Self-supply

The unit requires no outside power source for the protection and alarm signal functions. It is self-supplied by the current sensors installed on the circuit-breaker. For it to function, it simply needs the current defined below to be flowing in at least one phase. An outside power source can, however, be connected to enable other functions and particularly for its connection to the separate devices: HMI030 and PR021/K.

The characteristics of the busbar current are given in the table below:

12.2.2.2. Auxiliary power supply

The outside auxiliary power supply is provided using a galvanically-separated power pack.

WARNING: Since the auxiliary voltage needs to be isolated from the ground, “galvanically separated converters” in accordance with the IEC standard 60950 (UL 1950) or the equivalent IEC 60364-41 and CEI 64-8 have to be used to guarantee a current in common mode or leakage current (as defined in IEC 478/1 and CEI 22/3) no greater than 3.5 mA.

The presence of the auxiliary power supply enables the relay unit to be used even with the circuit-breaker open.

The characteristics of the power pack are given in the table below:

12.2.5. Protection functions

The PR121/P unit provides 5 independent protection functions, i.e.:

1. protection against overload with inverse time “L”;

2. protection against short-circuit with adjustable delay “S”;

3. protection against instantaneous short-circuit “I”;

4. protection against earth fault with adjustable delay “G”;

5. protection against instantaneous short-circuit at high currents “Iinst”.

The PR121/P unit allows the neutral pole’s current signal to be processed using different relationships with the value of the phases.

N.B.: Beyond 15.5xIn of current on the Ne, the protection is considered as being set to 100%.

A timing indication (“alarm” LED) is provided on the front of the unit, which is enabled during an alarm for each protection; it is disabled when the alarm condition ceases or when the protection has been tripped.

The unit also has a “backup protection” function. If the circuit-breaker does not open immediately the first time the Trip Coil is hit

(partial TC failure), TRIP commands are sent repeatedly until the circuit-breaker opens.

For the inverse-time protections, the relationship between trip time and overcurrent is given by the formula: t=k/I 2 .

For the fixed-time protections with an adjustable delay, the relationship adopted is as follows: t=k.

12.2.5.1. Calculating the RMS

All the protection functions do their respective processing on the basis of the real rms value of the currents (the protection G is disabled for current values greater than 8In [where I4>0,8In], greater than 6In [where 0.5In≤ I4<0.8In] and greater than 4In

[where I4<0,5In].

If the waveform has a deformation beyond the declared limit (see peak factor), the tolerance for the calculation of the true rms value will increase.

12.2.5.2. Measuring Function

A current measuring function (ammeter) is available on all versions of the PR121/P unit.

This function can be accessed through a PR10/T test unit only via a test bus and through HMI030 via a local bus.

With auxiliary voltage, the protection records a historical of the maximum current read.

12.2.5.3. Watchdog

The PR121/P unit provides some watchdog functions to guarantee the proper management of relay malfunctions. These functions are as follows:

 RATING PLUG validity.

 Watchdog for proper current sensor connection (CS). Any anomalies are indicated by the LED coming on, as explained in par.

12.7.1.

 Watchdog for proper opening solenoid connection (TC). Any anomalies are indicated by the LED coming on, as explained in par. 12.7.1.

 Watchdog for protection against Hw Trip. If the sensors are disconnected or there is a Rating Plug error, when activated, a CB opening command is issued due to the TC being activated. This function can be activated through a PR010/T test unit.

12.2.6. Description of the protection functions

12.2.6.1. Protection “L”

The “L” is the only protection that cannot be disabled because it is for self-protection against overloading of the relay itself.

The type of curve that can be set is t=k/I 2 .

The inverse-time protection trip time is given by the expression:

Max

where l f

≤ 12ln, 1 s where l f

> 12ln

I f

is the fault current and I

1

the protection threshold, established by the user.

NB: Time expressed in seconds.

12.2.6.1.1 Thermal memory “L”

The thermal memory function can be enabled to protect the cables. It is based on the “L” parameter defined as trip time of the curve (t1) selected @1.25xI1. This function can be enabled through PR010/T, or SD-Testbus2.

The trip time of the release surely is 100% of the time selected after a L time has elapsed from the last overload or last trip, or else trip time will be reduced depending on the overload and time elapsed.

PR121/P is equipped with two instruments to make up this thermal memory. The first one is only effective when the release is powered (it also records overloads that have not lasted long enough to trip the release); the second operates even when the release is not powered, reducing any trip times when it closes again straight after and is enabled as soon as the circuit-breaker is tripped.

The PR121/P release determines which one to use according to the situation.

12.2.6.2. Protection “S”

This protection can be disabled; it can be of the fixed time (t=k) or inverse time (t=k/I 2 ) type; in the latter case, the trip time is given by the expression:

Max

100 t

where l f

> l

I f

is the fault current and I

the protection threshold, established by the user.

NB: Time expressed in seconds.

12.2.6.2.1 Thermal memory “S”

The thermal memory function can be enabled for cable protection when the curve with inverse time is selected. This is based on the “tS” parameter defined as the trip time of the curve (t2) selected at 1.5xI2. The other characteristics are the same as those for thermal memory “L” (see par. 12.2.6.1.1).

12.2.6.3. Protection “I”

This protection can be disabled; it is of the fixed time (t=k) type, and is designed for a nil intentional delay.

12.2.6.4. Protection “G”

This protection can be disabled; it can be of the fixed time (t=k) or inverse time (t=k/I 2 ) type; in the latter case, the trip time is given by the expression:

The PR121/P unit can provide earth fault protection, achieved inside the relay by vectorially adding together the phase and neutral currents. The fault current is defined by the following formula:

If the circuit reveals no faults, the module of the sum of these currents is always nil; vice versa, the value of the fault current takes on a larger and larger value depending on the entity of the fault.

12.2.6.5. Protection against instantaneous short-circuit “Iinst”

This function has a single fixed-time protection curve.

When the protection is tripped, the circuit-breaker is opened by the opening solenoid (TC).

Using the “i Test” button, you can retrieve the information stored in the past 48 hours. You can also perform a trip test by pressing and holding the button for 7 seconds and an Autotest by pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds, again with the PR030/B battery unit connected and no current flowing through.

12.4. Putting into service

12.4.1. Connections

WARNING: For the connections provided by the user, it is recommended that you comply strictly with the recommendations contained in this document.

This will enable us to satisfy all the international reference standards and guarantee the perfect operation of the relay even under severe environmental and electromagnetic conditions. Take particular care with the earthing connections.

12.4.2. CS and TC connection check

WARNING: If the PR121/P has been installed by the user, it is advisable (with the CB open and Vaux or the

PR030/B) to check the proper connection of the TC and/or CS cables before putting the circuit-breaker into service; if this has not been done, make the right connections. If any of the red LEDs come on, this means an error in the connection of the CS and/or TC. See par. 12.7.1.

12.4.3. Current sensor connection for external neutral

WARNING: If you want to connect the current sensor for the external neutral conductor to a three-pole circuitbreaker, remember to set I n

N accordingly (see par. 12.5, ref. 15).

During this procedure, the circuit-breaker must be open and preferably isolated.

12.5.1. Trip Test

Before you start, it is advisable to run a test (“Trip Test”) on the whole TC chain by pressing and holding the button “i Test” for at least 7 s. A positive outcome is shown by the circuit-breaker opening (see Watchdog). To be able to do the test, you need to connect the PR030/B battery unit.

12.5.2. Initial settings

ABB SACE will see to applying the adhesive labels on the PR121/P for all the variables relating to the circuit-breaker (e.g. Type of circuit-breaker, Rating Plug size, etc.).

It should be noted that ABB SACE provides a sensible definition for each possible setting (see par. 12.5.4).

WARNING: Before putting the PR121/P into service, it is nonetheless absolutely essential for the user to carefully define each parameter that can be changed.

12.5.3. Changing protection functions

This paragraph enables the user to set the protection functions implemented in the PR121/P unit. Only the setting methods and which values can be selected are explained here. For all other information on the technical characteristics of the protection functions, see par. 12.2.5.

WARNING: No parameter settings can be made if the PR121/P unit is in alarm conditions.

12.5.3.1. Example of settings

In the diagrams on the front plate (see par. 12.5) relating to the settings, the position of the DIP switch is indicated by the white part.

A faulty configuration of the dip-switches generates a “Settings Inconsistency” error which is signalled by means of a LED (see par. 12.7.1).

Comply with this formula: I1<I2<I3.

E.g.: if I1 = 1In and I2 = 1In, the relay signals a “Settings Inconsistency” error. The same occurs when I2 = 5In and I3 = 4In.

12.6. Operating instructions / Operation in service

12.6.1. Neutral adjustment

The neutral protection is normally set to a current value 50% of the adjustment made on the phases.

In some installations, where particularly high harmonics occur, the current circulating on the neutral may be higher than that of the phases.

In the SACE PR121/P release, this protection can be set for the following values: I n

N =Off - 50% - 100% - 200% * I n

.

WARNING: With three-pole circuit-breakers, without external neutral sensor, the adjustment of the neutral must

be set to OFF.

12.6.2. Neutral adjustment specifications

To adjust neutral (I n

N) comply with the following formula: I

1 x I n

NIu.

With a 4-pole CB, this setting is checked by the relay which signals any failure by means of a LED (see par. 12.7.1) and independently adjusts this parameter, restoring it to within the accepted limits.

With a 3-pole CB, with external neutral, the relay performs no checks and setting is to be done by user.

E.g.: With E1B800 CB having a 400A Rating Plug, Iu = 800A and I1 = 1In, I n

With E1B800 CB having a 800A Rating Plug, Iu = 800A and I1 = 1In I n

12.6.3. Replacing an electronic release

To complete the procedure for installing PR121/P take the following steps:

1. With the circuit-breaker open and possibly disconnected, install the protection unit on the circuit-breaker.

2. Power the unit with the PR030/B ONLY.

3. If there are no errors other than the configuration error (see par. 12.7.1), press and hold the “i Test” button for a few seconds until all the red LEDs start to flash to confirm that installation is complete.

4. Remove the PR030/B.

5. Power the relay from any supply (Vaux, PR030/B, PR010/T).

6. Make sure there are no configuration errors (“Alive” LED on).

7. Circuit-breaker and release can now be put into service.

12.7.3. In the case of a fault

WARNING: If the PR121/P is suspected of being faulty, if there are signs of malfunctions or it has generated an unexpected trip, we advise you to strictly follow the recommendations below:

1. Press the “i Test” button (within 48 hours of opening the CB) and make a note of which LED is on, also recording the type of

CB, the number of poles, any connected accessories, the In, and the serial number (see par. 12.5).

2. Prepare a brief description of the opening (what LEDs were displayed?, when did it happen?, how many times?, was it always under the same conditions? what type of load? what current? is the event reproducible?).

3. Send/communicate all the information collected, together with the circuit diagram for the circuit-breaker, to your nearest ABB

Customer Support service.

The more the information given to the ABB Customer Support service is complete and accurate, the easier the technical analysis on the problem encountered will be, enabling us to take all action to help the user without delay.

WARNING: Letting a switch run with a fault that has not been remedied may lead to an apparatus malfunction or shutdown. Remove the apparatus immediately until it can be inspected or repaired if this situation may lead to personal injury, damage or is otherwise critical.

12.8. Accessories

12.8.1. ABB SACE PR010/T test and configuration unit

Testing with the SACE PR010/T unit enables you to monitor the proper operation of thresholds and trip times of the protection functions “L”, “S”, “I”, and “G”. The test unit is wired to the relay by a dedicated connector (see ref. 26 par. 12.5).

12.8.2. BT030 USB communication unit

Using the BT030 USB wireless communication unit, the PR121/P can be connected by radio to a normal PC, thus extending the amount of information available to the user.

12.8.3. PR021/K and HMI030 units

The PR121/P can also be connected to the optional PR021/K external signalling unit (see par. 16), for the signalling by means of no-potential power contacts of alarms and tripped protections, and to the HMI030 switchboard front unit to view various kinds of information on the display.

12.8.4. PR030/B power supply unit

The PR030/B power supply unit is a separate unit for powering the relay, auto test, trip test and checking with CB open.

12.8.5. Flex interfaces

Flex interfaces are electronic modules with analogue and/or digital inputs and outputs that can be fitted to a DIN guide. They can be connected to the supervision system or to the electronic release by internal bus or external bus (see par.16.6).

13.1. Standard

The PR122/P has been designed to work in accordance with the international standard:

IEC 60947-2 Low voltage apparatus. Circuit-breakers.

13.2. Specifications

13.2.1. General

The PR122/P is a high-performance self-supplied protection unit with Protection, Measurement, Data storage, Communication

(optional), Self-test, Load control and Zone selectivity functions for the ABB SACE ‘Emax’ range of 3- and 4-pole low-voltage air circuit-breakers. The unit’s user interface also enables parameter setup and complete the prealarm and alarm management for the protection and watchdog functions.

The protections available are:

I

G

Symbol

L

U

OT

MCR

Protection against overload with inverse long time delay short-circuit with adjustable delay instantaneous short-circuit earth fault with adjustable delay phase unbalance temperature out of range closing on short-circuit

The PR122/P can be installed on 3-pole CBs with and without an external neutral, or on 4-pole CBs.

It should be noted that the reference current for the PR122/P is the In (the rated current defined by the front Rating Plug) and not the Iu (the uninterrupted rated current of the CB itself). Example: the CB E1B800 with a 400 A Rating Plug has an Iu of 800 A and an In of 400 A.

The unit opens the circuit-breaker in which it is installed by means of the TC, which takes effect directly on the device’s mechanical leverism.

The protection unit is self-supplied by current sensors and primary voltages if the PR120/V module is installed.

13.2.2.1. Self-supply

The self-supply enables the protection unit to be powered with the busbar current using current transformers.

Using this supply mode, the unit’s protection functions are assured, however, not the accessory functions regarding the modules.

13.2.2.2. Auxiliary power supply

The external auxiliary power supply is provided using a galvanically-separated power pack.

WARNING: Since the auxiliary voltage needs to be isolated from the ground, “galvanically separated converters” in accordance with the IEC standard 60950 (UL 1950) or the equivalent IEC 60364-41 and CEI 64-8 have to be used to guarantee a current in common mode or leakage current (as defined in IEC 478/1 and CEI 22/3) no greater than 3.5mA.

The presence of the auxiliary power supply enables the relay unit to be used even with the circuit-breaker open, as well as powering all the modules.

13.2.6. Protection functions

The PR122/P protection unit carries out 8 independent protection functions. In particular:

1. Protection against overload with inverse time “L”;

2. Protection against short-circuit with adjustable delay “S”;

3. Protection against instantaneous short-circuit “I”;

4. Protection against closing on short-circuit “MCR”;

5. Protection against earth fault with adjustable delay “G”;

6. Protection against instantaneous short-circuit at high currents “Iinst”;

7. Protection against phase unbalance “U”;

8. Protection against overtemperature “OT”.

The PR122/P unit allows current signal processing of the neutral pole with different relationships relative to the value of the phases.

N.B.: Beyond 15.5xIn of current on the Ne, the protection is considered as being set to 100%.

A timing indication (message + “alarm” LED) is provided on the unit’s display, which is activated during a protection alarm. It is disabled when the alarm condition ceases or when the protection has been tripped. When the circuit-breaker opens, the page with the “Trip” data is displayed (when “i Test” is pressed, or automatically in the presence of Vaux).

With the optional PR120/V module, the PR122/P unit also has the following protection functions:

9. Protection against undervoltage “UV”;

10. Protection against overvoltage “OV”;

11. Protection against residual voltage “RV”;

12.Protection against reverse active power “RP”;

13. Underfrequency “UF”;

14. Overfrequency “OF”.

13.2.6.1. Calculating the RMS

All the protection functions do their respective processing on the basis of the real rms value of the currents and voltages (the protection G is disabled for current values greater than 8In [where I

4

 0,8In), greater than 6In (where 0,5In I

4

<0,8In) and greater than 4In (where I

4

<0,5In)).

If the waveform has a deformation beyond the declared limit (see peak factor) the tolerance for the calculation of the true rms value will increase. With the optional PR120/V module, the UV, OV, RV voltage protections always work on the basis of the true rms value of the voltages.

frequency

The PR122/P unit constantly measures the frequency of the mains voltages it is connected to, only when a PR120/V module is installed.

If the frequency is outside the permitted range, the warning LED lights up and the warning message appears (see paragraph 13.6.3).

The signal can be combined with a relay of the PR120/K module or with those of the PR021/K unit.

distortion

The PR122/P unit signals that a peak factor of 2.1 has been exceeded with a warning message and the “warning” LED lighting up (remember that the IEC 60947-2 standard annex “F” establishes that the protection unit must function regularly with a peak factor ≤ 2.1, up to 2xIn).

The signal can be combined with a relay of the PR120/K module or with those of the PR021/K unit.

state

If an auxiliary supply is used, or it is powered from the optional PR120/V, the PR122/P unit records the state of the circuit-breaker by means of specific wiring on the circuit-breaker. In the case where the presence of current is determined with the circuit-breaker in the “OPEN” state, a state error is signaled by a warning message being displayed (see par. 13.6) and the “warning” LED lighting up.

The signal can be combined with a relay of the PR120/K module or with those of the PR021/K unit.

13.2.7. Measurement functions

The current measuring (ammeter) function is available on all versions of the SACE PR122/P unit.

The display shows histograms with the currents of the three phases and of the neutral on the main page. In addition, the current of the phase under the greatest load is given in numerical form. Where applicable, the earth fault current is displayed on a separate page.

The ammeter functions both in self-supply mode and with an auxiliary power supply. In the latter case, or under self-powering for 3-phase currents >300A ca. or when the PR120/V module is powered, the ammeter and backlighting are always active. The tolerance for the ammeter measuring chain (current sensor plus relay) is described in paragraph 13.2.9.12.2

-Currents: three phases (L1, L2, L3), neutral (N), earth fault.

-Instantaneous current values over a given time interval (data logger).

-Maintenance: number of operations, percentage of contact wear, opening data storage (latest 20 trips and 80 events).

-The protection records the historical data of the maximum current read.

When the optional PR120/V is connected, the following additional measurement functions are provided:

-Voltage: phase-phase, phase-neutral, residual voltage.

-Instantaneous voltage values over a given time interval (data logger).

-Power: active, reactive, apparent.

-Power factor.

-Frequency and peak factor.

-Energy: active, reactive, apparent.

-Maintenance: number of operations, percentage of contact wear, opening data storage.

-The protection records the historical data of the maximum and minimum phase-to-phase voltage, total maximum and mean active power and total maximum and mean reactive power.

13.2.8. Watchdog

The PR122/P unit provides some watchdog functions able to guarantee the proper management of relay malfunctions. These functions are as follows:

 Watchdog for presence of Auxiliary power supply with “plug” icon displayed.

 RATING PLUG validity.

 Watchdog for proper connection of the current sensors (CS). If it is enabled, any anomalies are indicated by a special alarm message and the “alarm” LED coming on, and the circuit-breaker opens after 1s.

 Watchdog for proper connection of the Trip Coil (TC). If it is enabled, any anomalies are indicated by a special alarm message and the “alarm” LED coming on; if the PR120/D-M module is installed, this activates the coil opening command (YO), thus opening the CB.

 Watchdog for protection of Hw Trip. If it is enabled, in the event of the sensors being disconnected or a Rating Plug error, a

CB opening command is given by the TC being enabled.

13.2.9. Description of the protection functions

“L”

The “L” is the only protection that cannot be disabled because it is for self-protection against overloading of the relay itself. The types of trip curves settable are divided into two groups according to the standard they refer to.

Standard trip curve according to IEC 60947-2

Only one type of curve is settable (t=k/I 2 ) as defined by the IEC standard 60947-2.

The protection trip time - inverse time - is given by the expression:

where l f

< 12ln, 1 s where l f

> 12ln where I f

is the fault current and I

1

the protection threshold.

NB: Time expressed in seconds.

t

Standard trip curve according to IEC 60255-3

There are 3 types of curves settable, defined by the IEC standard 60255-3 as A, B and C.

The protection trip time - inverse time - is given by the expression

   k

 1

 b where I 

I

I f

1

where I f

is the fault current and I

1

the protection threshold specified by the user.

NB: Time expressed in seconds.

a and k are two parameters, suggested by the standard, which vary the type of slope selected

(e.g. for type B slope a = 1 and k = 13.5);

b is a parameter introduced by SACE to increase the number of curves with the same slope. This parameter is automatically calculated by setting parameter t1 (required trip time at 3xI1).

13.2.9.1.1 Thermal memory “L”

The thermal memory function can be enabled for cable protection. It is based on the “L” parameter defined as the trip time of the curve (t1) selected at 1.25xI1.

The release trip time is certainly 100% of the one selected, after an interval L has passed since the last overload or since the last trip. Otherwise, the trip time will be reduced, depending on the overload which has occurred and on the time that has elapsed.

The PR122/P is fitted with two instruments to make up this thermal memory. The first is only effective when the release is powered

(it also records overloads that have not lasted long enough to trip the release), while the second works even when the release is not powered, reducing any trip times in the case of an immediate reclosing and is enabled as soon as the CB is tripped.

It is the PR122/P release that automatically decides which of the two to use, according to the various situations.

NB: The thermal memory function can only be set if the type of curve selected is the standard one (t=k/I 2 ) (see par. 13.2.9.1).

“S”

This protection can be disabled; it can be of the fixed time (t=k) or inverse time (t=k/I 2 ); in the latter case, the trip time is given by the expression

2

(I ) 2

, t

where I f

2 where I f

the protection threshold.

NB: Time expressed in seconds.

13.2.9.2.1 Thermal memory “S”

The thermal memory function can be enabled for cable protection in the case where the curve with inverse time is selected. This is based on the “tS” parameter defined as the trip time of the curve (t2) selected at 1.5xI2. The other characteristics are the same as those for thermal memory “L” (see par. 13.2.9.1.1).

13.2.9.2.2 Start-up threshold “S”

The start-up function can be selected in the case where the curve with fixed time is selected.

The function can be disabled and it is a setting characteristic of the single protection units.

The start-up function enables the protection threshold (S, I and G) to be changed during a time interval lasting “ts”, starting from

“start-up”. The latter must be intended as follows:

-Passage of at least one of the phase currents above the activation threshold of the adjustable Start-Up with SD TestBus2, Ekip

13.2.9.2.3 Zone selectivity “S”

The zone selectivity function, guaranteed only if an auxiliary voltage is provided, enables the area of the fault to be isolated, only isolating the part of plant nearest to the fault, while keeping the rest of the plant operational.

This is done by connecting all the zone selectivity outputs of the releases belonging to the same zone to one another (ZSO=K51/

SZout) and taking this signal to the zone selectivity input (ZSI=K51/SZin) of the next release on the supply side. If the wiring has been done correctly, all the zone selectivity inputs of the last circuit-breakers in the chain and all the outputs of the circuit-breakers at the head of each chain must be empty.

As a practical example, the figure above shows a fault on the load side of the “Relay 1a” isolated by the latter without the “Relay

1” or the “Relay 0” being affected; a fault immediately downstream from the “Relay 1” will be isolated by the latter without the

“Relay 0” being affected, thus ensuring that the Areas 2...n remain operational.

The ZSO output can be connected to a maximum of 20 ZSI relays on the supply side in the selectivity chain.

Model

WARNING: The maximum length of cable for zone selectivity, between two units, is 300 meters.

Use corded shielded two-wire cable (see note A to par. 11.2.2).

The shield must only be earthed on the circuit-breaker of the supply-side relay (ZSI side).

Operation is only guaranteed when there is an auxiliary voltage.

to guarantee correct operation of the relay on the supply side.

13.2.9.3.1 Start-up threshold “I”

The start-up function can be selected.

The function can be enabled from the menu on the protection “I” page.

The function behaves in exactly the same way as the protection “S” (see par. 13.2.9.9.2).

13.2.9.4. Protection “MCR” against closing on short-circuit

The MCR function is used to protect the system against closing.

If activated (the protection can be enabled/disabled), it operates only in the presence of Vaux or PR120/V, and with Protection

I” disabled.

The MCR function has the same functional characteristics as protection “I” (it uses the same control or trip algorithm), and starts operation only when the CB closes, with a time window of 0 to 40…500ms (settable by the user), after which it is deactivated.

The time window and threshold settings are set by the user.

This function can be activated through a hand-held PR010/T unit with the ABB SD-Testbus2 communication softwares or through a remote system via a system bus.

Protection “S” protects against short circuits.

“G”

This protection can be disabled; it can be of the fixed time (t=k) or inverse time (t=k/I 2 ); type; in the latter case, the trip time is given by the expression:

WARNING: It is possible to disable the trip control of the protection (“Enable Trip: Off”).

For the whole duration of the earth fault, circuit-breaker opening does not take place, but only the alarm condition is signaled (“Alarm” LED lit and alarm message).

The PR122/P unit can provide two different types of earth fault protection as an alternative:

Internal protection G

This is provided inside the relay by vectorially summing the phase and neutral currents. The fault current is defined by the following formula:

In the case when the circuit does not show any fault, the module of the sum of these currents is always nil; vice versa the value of the fault current will take on an increasingly large value depending on the size of the fault. This operating mode is enabled by default.

N.B.: it can be used also with CS for an external neutral.

Protection G with external toroid “Source Ground Return”

Also called “Source Ground return”, this can be carried out when there is the need to check operation of a machine (transformer, generator or motor etc.) which has star-configured windings.

The protection is assured by physically positioning an external toroid on the cable connected from the star center of the machine to the earthing connection point.

The induced current on the winding of the toroid is proportional to the fault current which, in this case, only transits in the abovementioned toroid.

To work in this mode, “Ground protection” must be selected on the Circuit-breaker Settings menu.

WARNING: The external toroid must be connected to the PR122/P by means of a corded shielded two-wire cable

(see note A in par. 11.2.2) with a length not exceeding 15m.

The shield must be earthed both on the circuit-breaker side and on the toroid side.

It is indispensable for the star center to be connected openly to earth and for it not to be used as a neutral conductor too (as in the TNC system), making a protection according to the TT system.

The minimum allowable threshold for the Gext protection is 0.1 x In (where In is the rated current of the homopolar toroidal transformer; the In settings available are 100, 250, 400, 800A), both for curve t=K both for I 2 t=K for release with 2.05 sw version.

13.2.9.5.1 Start-up threshold “G”

The start-up function can be selected in the case where the curve with fixed time is selected.

The function can be enabled and disabled on the protection “G” page.

The function behaves in exactly the same way as the protection “S” (see par. 13.2.9.2.2).

13.2.9.5.2 Zone selectivity “G”

The zone selectivity function can be enabled providing the fixed time curve is selected, and function is assured only if auxiliary voltage is provided.

Zone selectivity “G” can be active at the same time as zone selectivity “S”.

The behavior and wiring of the function are identical to those indicated for zone selectivity “S” (see par. 13.2.9.2.3).

13.2.9.6. Protection against phase unbalance “U”

The protection with fixed time, which can be excluded, trips in the case when, for a time greater than or the same as the time t6 set, an unbalance is determined between two or more phases higher than the set threshold I6. Range: 2 … 90% by 1% steps.

The percentage of unbalance is therefore calculated

where I max

WARNING: It is possible to disable the trip control of the protection (“Enable Trip: Off”).

In that case, for the whole duration of the unbalance the CB will not be opened, but only the condition will be signaled by means of the “warning” LED lit up and a warning message.

When the value of the phase current is above 6xIn, the function “U” excludes itself because, in this case, the other protections intervene because the fault is considered as a phase fault.

The protection is not enabled for maximum phase current values lower than 0.3xIn.

13.2.9.7. Protection against overtemperature inside the relay “OT”

There is a sensor inside the PR122/P unit that monitors the temperature of the unit.

This enables the signalling of any abnormal temperature conditions, which could cause temporary or continuous malfunctions of the unit’s electronic components.

This protection has two states of operation:

State of “WARNING TEMPERATURE” with –25°C < temp. < -20°C or 70°C < temp. < 85°C : the display is turned off and the “WARNING” LED flashes at 0.5Hz

State of “ALARM TEMPERATURE” with temp. < –25°C or temp. > 85°C : the display is turned off, the “WARN-

ING” and “ALARM” Leds flash at 2Hz and the Trip is activated (if enabled by means of the “Over Temper. Trip = On” parameter).

N.B.:

 In the event of Warning and Alarm, the display is turned off, to preserve its functionality;

 The monitored temperature is not visible on the display.

The protection is always active, both with auxiliary supply and in self-supply.

WARNING: Disabling the Trip control of the protection means that the PR122/P unit could work, with the circuitbreaker closed, in a range of temperatures where correct operation of the electronics is not guaranteed.

13.2.9.8. Load control function

Single loads can be enabled/disabled on the load side before the overload protection L intervenes and trips the circuit-breaker on the supply side. This is done by contactors or switch-disconnectors (wired outside the release), controlled by the PR122/P by means of contacts on the PR120/K module or on the PR021/K external unit.

The current thresholds are lower than those available with the protection L, so that the load control can be used to prevent tripping due to overloads. The function is active when an auxiliary power supply is present, or supply from PR120/V (see par. 15.1.4).

The operating logic involves the activation of three contacts when the preset thresholds LC1, LC2 and I w

Thresholds LC1 and LC2 are expressed as a percentage of I

From the PR122/P you can associate each of the PR120/K or PR121/K contacts with a configuration (NO or NC), a delay and the eventual latch.

13.2.9.9. Voltage protections “UV”, “OV”, “RV”, “U” (PROTECTIONS AVAILABLE ONLY WITH THE ADDITIONAL

PR120/V MODULE)

The PR122/P unit provides 4 voltage protections, which can be disabled, with fixed adjustable time (t = k), active both with selfsupply and with auxiliary supply:

-Undervoltage “UV”

-Overvoltage “OV”

-Residual voltage “RV”

-Line voltage unbalance “U”

Apart from normal timing and “Trip” operation, the voltage protections can be in a state defined as “alarm” (with the “emergency” led on and an alarm message displayed) providing there is an auxiliary or PR120/V module power supply. In fact, in the case where the circuit-breaker is open and no current is detected, the timing leads to the “alarm” state and not to “TRIP”. This is because the fault linked to the voltages can persist even with the circuit-breaker open. When the circuit-breaker is closed or the passage of a current is detected, you pass immediately from the state of “alarm” to “TRIP” without timing (see par. 13.3.2).

This protection is available on 4-pole or 3-pole CBs with neutral voltage available (see circuit diagram 48). On 3-pole CBs, presence of neutral voltage must be set by the “neutral voltage present” parameter.

13.2.9.9.4 Protection “U”

The disable-type, fixed-time protection trips when - for a time higher than or equal to t6 time set - an unbalance between two or more line voltages greater than I6, is detected. Range: 2 … 90%, by 1% Step.

13.2.9.10. Reverse active power protection “RP” (AVAILABLE ONLY WITH THE ADDITIONAL PR120/V MODULE)

The PR122/P unit provides protection (which can be disabled) with an adjustable fixed time (t = k), against reverse active power, active both with self-supply and auxiliary supply.

When the total reverse active power (sum of the power of the 3 phases) exceeds the set reverse active power threshold P protection counts down the preset time interval t

13.3.3. CS and TC connection test

WARNING: If the PR122/P was installed by the user, it is important, before closing the CB, to check the last line on the display when the relay is turned on for the first time via a PR030/B battery unit. No CS and/or TC disconnected messages must appear; if they do, do not close the circuit-breaker and make the correct connections.

13.3.4. Test

Before putting into service, a test can be conducted by means of the specific “Auto test” function which can be activated on the PR122/P. A positive result is shown on the display.

Then a test can be conducted on the whole TC chain, again using the specific function (Trip test). A positive result is shown by the circuit-breaker opening. To run a Trip Test, press the “i

Test” button and the “Enter” button simultaneously.

Check the open or closed state of the circuit-breaker on the same “PR122/P Test” screen, by checking that is closed and de-energized.

13.3.5. Initial settings

If the PR122/P is supplied ready installed in the circuit-breaker, it is up to ABB SACE to set all the variables referring to the circuitbreaker or the specific application correctly (e.g. type of circuit-breaker, Rating Plug size ...). When the PR120/V module is installed, set the Rated Voltage suitably.

Vice versa, if the PR122/P is supplied separately, it will be up to the user to set all the necessary parameters correctly.

Note that ABB SACE defines each possible setting according the content of the paragraph on the default parameters (see par.

13.4.4).

WARNING: Apart from this, it is absolutely indispensable for the user to modify the password and carefully define each modifiable parameter, before putting the PR122/P into service.

13.3.6. Password management

Specify a password? [0***]

To enter “EDIT” mode it is necessary to enter a four-figure numerical password. The values attributable to the password go from

0000 to 9999. For the default password see par.13.4.4.

Select the value of the first figure ( between ‘0’ and ‘9’ ) by means of the  and  and press to confirm the figure and then move on to enter the next one.

After entering the fourth figure, check the password you have entered. If the password is correct, you go from the “READ” state to the “EDIT” state.

If the password is wrong, the message

Wrong password appears and remains until the ESC (key is pressed (or until an interval of 5 seconds has elapsed).

It is also possible to interrupt the password entry procedure by pressing th ESC key.

The password is valid for a maximum of two minutes from the last time a key was pressed.

Disabling the Password.

By setting the value of the password to [0000] (on the “Unit configuration” menu) the password prompt is disabled. It is therefore always possible to switch from “READ” to “EDIT”.

To enter a new password, select the “New Password” item on the “Settings/System” menu.

13.3.7. Replacing an electronic release

13.3.7.1. Installation

6. Select “Unit installation”

7. Input the password

8. Select “Install” and press “ENTER”

9. When the red led flashes on and off and the message Installation (installation error) is displayed, remove the

PR030/B

10. Power the relay from any other source

Check for the absence of configuration errors.

13.3.7.2. Uninstalling

To complete the procedure for uninstalling a PR122/P unit, follow the steps below:

1. With the circuit-breaker open and/or isolated power the unit from the PR030/B

2. Enter the unit’s “Settings” menu

3. Select “Circuit-breaker”

4. Select “Unit installation”

5. Input the password

6. Select “Uninstall” and press “ENTER”

7. Remove the PR030/B module

8. Remove the PR122/P unit from the circuit-breaker

9. The remove the TC connector, proceed as indicated in the figure alongside.

It is not strictly necessary to complete the uninstalling procedure, but this enables the parameters relating to the circuit-breaker, such as contact wear and others, otherwise these data would be lost. The data in question are then transmitted to the new PR122/P unit installed on the same circuit-breaker.

adjustment

The neutral protection is normally set to a current value 50% of the adjustment made on the phases.

In some installations, where particularly high harmonics occur, the current circulating on the neutral may be higher than that of the phases.

I

In the SACE PR122/P release, this protection can be set for the following values: n

N= 50% - 100% - 150% - 200% * I n

.

13.5.4.2.1 Neutral adjustment specifications

Neutral (InN) adjustment must meet the following formula: I

1 x I n

NIu.

In case of a four-pole CB, this setting is checked by the relay which signals any failure through a Led (see par. 13.6.1), and adjusts the parameter independently to the accepted limits.

In case of a three-pole CB with external neutral, the relay performs no checks and user must correct the settings.

E.g.: With CB E1B800 with a 400A Rating Plug, Iu = 800A and I1 = 1In, I n

With CB E1B800 with a 800A Rating Plug, Iu = 800A and I1 = 1In I n

N adjustment may be: 50-100-200%.

N adjustment may be: 50-100%.

13.5.6.1. Information on the trip and opening data

The PR122/P unit saves all the information relating to the type of protection tripped, the opening data, the date and time. Using the “i Test” key makes the release show all these data directly on the display. There is no need for an auxiliary power supply for this function. With an auxiliary power supply, the information is shown immediately on the display without the need to press the

“i Test” key and remains displayed indefinitely until you press the key.

Information remains available for 48 hours with the relay de-energized. The data relating to the last 20 trips are stored in the unit’s memory. By connecting a PR030/B and PR010/T battery unit or a BT030 USB wireless communication unit, you can retrieve the information relating to the last 20 trips recorded.

Again in the Measurements menu, you can view the percentage of contact wear, which is an indication of the electrical life of the electrical contacts in the circuit-breaker.

In any case, functionality of the relay is in no way modified by the presence of the wear messages.

The prealarm message (wear > 80%, “warning” LED lighting up) indicates that the wear has reached a high value. The alarm message (100% wear, “alarm” LED lighting up) indicates that it is necessary to check the state of contact wear.

The percentage of wear depends on the number of openings carried out by the circuit-breaker and by the absolute current interrupted during each of them.

13.7.1. In the case of a fault

WARNING: If you suspect that the PR122/P is faulty, if has a malfunction or has generated an unwanted trip, it is advisable to follow the recommendations below very carefully from the

Measurements menu Historicals Trip:

1. Make a note of the type of protection that has tripped by accessing the LAST TRIP page if there is an external power supply

(Vaux or battery) or by pressing “i Test” if in self-supply mode.

2. Note down the type of circuit-breaker, number of poles, any accessories connected, In, Serial Number (see par. 13.4) and the

SW version.

3. Prepare a brief description of the opening (what LEDs and/or indications were displayed? when did it happen?, how many times ?, was it always under the same conditions? what type of load? what voltage? what current? is the event reproducible?)

4. Send/communicate all the information collected, together with the circuit diagram for the circuit-breaker, to your nearest ABB

Customer Support service.

The completeness and accuracy of the information given to the ABB Assistance service will facilitate technical analysis of the problem encountered, and will allow us to carry out all actions useful for the user rapidly.

WARNING: Letting a switch run with a fault that has not been remedied may lead to an apparatus malfunction or shutdown. Remove the apparatus immediately until it can be inspected or repaired if this situation may lead to personal injury, damage or is otherwise critical.

The PR123/P has been designed to work in accordance with the international standard:

IEC 60947-2 Low voltage apparatus. Circuit-breakers

14.2. Specifications

14.2.1. General

The PR123/P is a high-performance self-supplied protection unit with Measurement, Data storage, Communication (optional),

Self-test, Load control and Zone selectivity functions for the ABB SACE ‘Emax’ range of 3- and 4-pole low-voltage air circuitbreakers. The unit’s user interface also enables parameter setup and completes the prealarm and alarm management for the protection and watchdog functions.

The protections available are:

Protection against overload with inverse long time delay short-circuit with adjustable delay directional short-circuit with adjustable delay instantaneous short-circuit earth fault with adjustable delay phase current unbalance temperature out of range undervoltage overvoltage residual voltage reverse active power underfrequency overfrequency closing on short-circuit

The PR123/P can be installed on 3-pole CBs with and without an external neutral, or on 4-pole CBs.

It should be noted that the reference current for the PR123/P is the In (the rated current defined by the front Rating Plug) and not the Iu (the uninterrupted rated current of the CB itself).

Example: the CB E1B800 with a 400A Rating Plug has an Iu of 800A and an In of 400A.

The unit opens the circuit-breaker in which it is installed by means of the TC, which takes effect directly on the device’s mechanical leverism.

The protection unit is self-supplied by current sensors and primary voltages via the PR120/V module.

The unit is made using digital microprocessor technology and interfaces with the user by means of a graphic display and keyboard.

14.2.2.2. Auxiliary power supply

The external auxiliary power supply is provided using a galvanically-separated power pack.

WARNING: Since the auxiliary voltage needs to be isolated from the ground, “galvanically separated converters” in accordance with the IEC standard 60950 (UL 1950) or the equivalent IEC 60364-41 and CEI 64-8 have to be used to guarantee a current in common mode or leakage current (as defined in IEC 478/1 and CEI 22/3) no greater than 3.5mA.

The presence of the auxiliary power supply enables the relay unit to be used even with the circuit-breaker open, as well as powering all the modules, with the exception of the PR120/V - MEASURING module, which is powered by means of a connection to the busbars.

The characteristics of the power pack are given in the table below.

The PR123/P unit allows current signal processing of the neutral pole with different relationships relative to the value of the phases.

N.B.: Beyond 15.5xIn of current on the Ne, the protection is considered as being set to 100%.

A timing indication (message + “alarm” LED) is provided on the unit’s display, which is activated during a protection alarm. It is disabled when the alarm condition ceases or when the protection has been tripped. When the circuit-breaker opens, the page with the “Trip” data is displayed (when “i Test” is pressed, or automatically in the presence of Vaux).

If the waveform has a deformation beyond the declared limit (see peak factor), the tolerance for the calculation of the true rms value will increase. The UV, OV, RV voltage protections always work on the basis of the true rms value of the voltages.

frequency

The PR123/P unit constantly measures the frequency of the mains voltages it is connected to.

If the frequency exceeds the permitted range the “warning” LED comes on and the warning message is displayed (see par. 14.6.3).

The signal can be combined with a relay of the optional PR120/K module or with those of the PR021/K unit.

distortion

The PR123/P unit signals that a peak factor of 2.1 has been exceeded with a warning message and the “warning” LED lighting up (remember that the IEC 60947-2 standard annex “F” establishes that the protection unit must function regularly with a peak factor ≤ 2.1, up to 2xIn).

The signal can be combined with a relay of the PR120/K module or with those of the PR021/K unit.

state

The PR123/P unit records the state of the circuit-breaker by means of specific wiring on the circuit-breaker. In the case where the presence of current is determined with the circuit-breaker in the “OPEN” state, a state error is signaled by a warning message being displayed (see par. 14.6) and the “warning” LED lighting up.

The signal can be combined with a relay of the PR120/K module or with those of the PR021/K unit.

14.2.7. Measurement functions

The current measuring (ammeter) function is available on all versions of the SACE PR123/P unit.

The display shows histograms with the currents of the three phases and of the neutral on the main page. In addition, the current of the phase under the greatest load is given in numerical form. Where applicable, the earth fault current is displayed on a separate page.

The ammeter functions both in self-powering mode and with an auxiliary supply. In the latter case or in the event of self-powering for 3-phase currents >300A ca. or when the PR120/V module is installed and powered, ammeter and backlighting are always active. The tolerance for the ammeter measuring chain (current sensor plus ammeter) is described in paragraph 14.2.9.16.

The PR123/P release provides a complete set of measurements:

-Currents: three phases (L1, L2, L3), neutral (Ne), earth fault

-Voltage: phase-phase, phase-neutral, residual voltage

-Instantaneous voltage values over a given time interval (data logger)

-Power: active, reactive, apparent

-Power factor

-Frequency and peak factor

-Energy: active, reactive, apparent

-Harmonics calculation: up to the fortieth harmonic (waveform and module of the harmonics displayed); up to the thirty-fifth for frequency f=60Hz

-Maintenance: number of operations, percentage of contact wear, opening data storage.

-Data Logger: see par. 16.3.

The PR123/P can provide the trend of the measurements of certain quantities over an interval P, established by the user; these include: mean active power, maximum active power, maximum current, maximum voltage and minimum voltage. The last 24 P intervals (adjustable from 5 to 120 min) are stored in a non-volatile memory and displayed in a bar graph.

To examine the Measurement functions, see the relevant paragraphs (par. 15.1 and par. 14.5.3) for the PR120/V - MEASURING module.

14.2.8. Watchdog

The PR123/P unit provides some watchdog functions able to guarantee the proper management of relay malfunctions. These functions are as follows:

Watchdog for presence of Auxiliary power supply with “plug” icon displayed.

Watchdog for proper connection of the current sensors (CS). If it is enabled, any anomalies are indicated by a special alarm message and the “alarm” LED coming on, and the circuit-breaker opens after 1s.

Watchdog for proper connection of the trip coil (TC). If it is enabled, any anomalies are indicated by a special alarm message and the “alarm” LED coming on. If the PR120/D-M module is installed, this activates the coil opening command (YO), thus opening the CB.

Watchdog for protection of Hw Trip. If it is enabled, in the event of the sensors being disconnected or a Rating Plug error, a CB opening command is given by the TC being enabled..

14.2.9. Description of the protection functions

“L”

The “L” is the only protection that cannot be disabled because it is for self-protection against overloading of the relay itself. The types of trip curves settable are divided into two groups according to the standard they refer to.

Standard trip curve according to IEC 60947-2

Only one type of curve is settable (t=k/I 2 ) as defined by the IEC standard 60947-2.

The protection trip time - inverse time - is given by the expression:

where l f

< 12ln, 1 s where l f

> 12ln where I f

is the fault current and I

1

the protection threshold.

NB: Time expressed in seconds.

Standard trip curve according to IEC 60255-3

There are 3 types of curves settable, defined by the IEC standard 60255-3 as A, B and C.

The protection trip time - inverse time - is given by the expression: t 

   k

 1

 b where I 

I

I

1 f I f

is the fault current and I

1

the protection threshold specified by the user.

NB: Time expressed in seconds.

a and k are two parameters, suggested by the standard, which vary the type of slope selected (e.g. for type B slope a=1 and k=13.5);

b is a parameter introduced by SACE to increase the number of curves with the same slope. This parameter is automatically calculated by setting the parameter t1 (required trip time at 3xI1).

14.2.9.1.1 Thermal memory “L”

The thermal memory function can be enabled for cable protection. It is based on the“L” parameter defined as the trip time of the curve (t1) selected at 1.25xI1. The release trip time is certainly 100% of the one selected, after an interval L has passed since the last overload or since the last trip. Otherwise, the trip time will be reduced, depending on the overload which has occurred and on the time that has elapsed.

The PR123/P is fitted with two instruments to make up this thermal memory. The first is only effective when the release is powered

(it also records overloads that have not lasted long enough to trip the release), while the second works even when the release is not powered, reducing any trip times in the case of an immediate reclosing and is enabled as soon as the CB is tripped.

It is the PR123/P release that automatically decides which of the two to use, according to the various situations.

N.B.: The thermal memory function can only be set if the type of curve selected is the standard one (t=k/I 2 ) (see par. 14.2.9.1).

“S”

This protection can be disabled; it can be of the fixed time (t=k) or inverse time (t=k/I 2 ) type. In the latter case, the trip time is given by the expression

Max

100 t

where I f

14.2.9.2.1 Thermal memory “S”

The thermal memory function can be enabled for cable protection in the case where the curve with inverse time is selected. This is based on the “tS” parameter defined as the trip time of the curve (t2) selected at 1.5xI2. The other characteristics are the same as those for thermal memory “L” (see par. 14.2.9.1.1).

14.2.9.2.2 Start-up threshold “S”

The start-up function can be selected in the case where the curve with fixed time is selected.

The start-up function can be selected in the case where the curve with fixed time is selected.

The function can be disabled and it is a setting characteristic of the single protection units.

The start-up function enables the protection threshold (S, D, I and G) to be changed during a time interval lasting “ts”, starting from “start-up”. The latter must be intended as follows:

-Passage of at least one of the phase currents above the activation threshold of the adjustable Start-Up with SD TestBus2, Ekip

Connect or PR010/T (0.1…10In, by 0.1In steps); A new start-up is possible after the current has dropped below this threshold.

Range: 0.1s ... 30s, with steps of 0.01s. t

14.2.9.2.3 Zone selectivity“S”

The zone selectivity function, guaranteed only if an auxiliary voltage is provided, enables the area of the fault to be isolated, only isolating the part of plant nearest to the fault, while keeping the rest of the plant operational.

This is done by connecting all the zone selectivity outputs of the releases belonging to the same zone to one another (ZSO=K51/

SZout) and taking this signal to the zone selectivity input (ZSI=K51/SZin) of the next release on the supply side. If the wiring has been done correctly, all the zone selectivity inputs of the last circuit-breakers in the chain and all the outputs of the circuit-breakers at the head of each chain must be empty.

As a practical example, the figure above shows a fault on the load side of the “Relay 1a” isolated by the latter without the “Relay

1” or the “Relay 0” being affected; a fault immediately downstream from the “Relay 1” will be isolated by the latter without the

“Relay 0” being affected, thus ensuring that the Areas 2...n remain operational.

The ZSO output can be connected to a maximum of 20 ZSI relays on the supply side in the selectivity chain.

WARNING: The maximum length of cable for zone selectivity, between two units, is 300 meters.

Use corded shielded two-wire cable (see note A to par. 11.2.2).

The shield must only be earthed on the circuit-breaker of the supply-side relay (ZSI side).

Wiring and enabling zone selectivity “S” is an alternative to using protection “D” and operation is only guaranteed when there is an auxiliary voltage.

The following logical table is implemented to manage the Zone Selectivity Input (ZSI) and Zone Selectivity Output (ZSO) signals:

S

Thanks to the new PR123/P release that enables two independent and simultaneously active protection S thresholds to be specified, selectivity can assured even in critical conditions.

This function enables a better selectivity level to be obtained than using a release without a “double S”. This function is valid for t=K only.

14.2.9.4. Directional Protection “D”

The PR123/P unit carries out excludable directional protection against short-circuit with adjustable fixed time (t = k) active both with self-powering and with auxiliary supply..

The protection functionality is very similar to protection “S” with fixed time, with the capacity to recognize the current direction during the fault period as well.

The direction of the current enables the determination of whether the fault is on the supply side or the load side of the circuitbreaker. Especially in ring distribution systems, this enables the distribution stretch where the fault occurred to be identified and isolated without interfering with the rest of the installation (using zone selectivity).

To determine the direction of the current, the value of the phase reactive powers has to be higher than 2% of the nominal phase power

(P

Q

≥2%·P

nphase

).

The PR123 enables you to define the power flow in the circuit-breaker from the menu: from high to low (Top  Bottom), from low to high (Bottom  Top), selectable in the menu Modules Measuring Module (PR120/V).

As a result, the currents in the circuit-breaker will be defined as “forward” or “backward” if their are in phase or out of phase with the previously-defined power flow (for the default setting, see par. 14.4.4).

• With the directional protection D activated, if the direction of the power cannot be determined the relay takes effect considering shorter of the programmed times between t

• This protection works on the basis of the phase currents, not the neutral current.

14.2.9.4.1 Start-up threshold “D”

The function can be enabled from the menu (see description of the protection menu 14.5.2)

The function behaves in exactly the same way as the protection “S” (see par. 14.2.9.2.2).

14.2.9.4.2 (Directional) zone selectivity “D”

The Directional Zone Selectivity (SdZ D) function is particularly useful in ring and grid type systems where, in addition to the zone, it is essential to define the direction of the power flow that powers the fault.

The SdZ D can be set as an alternative to Zone Selectivity S and G and requires an auxiliary power supply.

To define the zone and power flow, each relay has two inputs (DFin and DBin) and two outputs (Dfout and DBout), which must be suitably connected to the other relays (see example below).

As in the SdZ S and G, the relays interact with each other, sending cutout signals via the outputs and reading them via the inputs.

Fault

If a fault is detected (I fault If beyond the threshold I7) in one of the sections of the system (Load A), the final circuit-breakers for the section in question (Relay1 and Relay2) communicate the presence of the fault to the connected circuit-breakers (Relay4 and

Relay3) by setting the output signals DFout or DBout depending on the direction of the current (DFout1=On, DB2out=On). To be more precise, the circuit-breakers that limit the section affected by the fault see the direction of the fault current in different ways

(Relay1=forward and Relay2=backward).

The circuit-breakers (Relay1 and Relay2) delimiting the section affected by the fault are tripped with the selectivity time ts, while the circuit-breakers further away from the fault count down the time t7FW (Relay4) and t7BW (Relay3) without opening; in this way, the system is isolated, in the time ts, to exclude the part affected by the fault.

The load A, where the fault has occurred, will be disconnected, but loads B and C will continue to be powered normally.

It should be noted that activation of the DBout3 output by the relay3 will have no effect on the relay4, because the latter is recording not an out-of-phase (backward) fault current, but an in-phase (forward) current with the power flow defined previously by the user (Top  Bottom).

Note:

-With zone selectivity enabled, if the direction of the power flow cannot be ascertained, the relay is tripped considering the lesser of the programmed times between t7fw and t7bw, without enabling any outputs (DFout or DBout).

-If, for some reason, one of the circuit-breakers required to open does not do so, a specific function will activate the opening of the first circuit-breaker immediately upstream from it, after a further 100ms approx. In the above example, if the circuit-breaker does not open with the relay1, only the circuit-breaker with relay4 will open after a time ts+100ms.

-The SdZ D operates on the basis of the phase currents, not of the neutral.

“I”

The protection is enabled/disabled from the menu.

In the case where zone selectivity “S” is active, during the trip of the relay for “I”, the ZSO output signal is activated in any case to guarantee correct operation of the relay on the supply side (and on the load side).

14.2.9.5.1 Start-up threshold “I”

The start-up function can be selected.

The function can be enabled from the menu on the protection “I” page.

The function behaves in exactly the same way as the protection “S” (see par. 14.2.9.2.2).

14.2.9.6. Protection against closing on short-circuit “MCR”

The MCR function is used to protect the system against closing.

If activated (the protection can be enabled/disabled), it operates only in the presence of Vaux or PR120/V, and with Protection

I” disabled.

The MCR function has the same functional characteristics as protection “I” (it uses the same control or trip algorithm), and starts operation only when the CB closes, with a time window of 0 to 40…500ms (settable by the user), after which it is deactivated.

The time window and threshold settings are set by the user.

This function can be activated through a hand-held PR010/T unit with the ABB SD-Testbus2 communication softwares or through a remote system via a system bus.

Protection “S” protects against short circuits.

“G”

This protection can be disabled; it can be of the fixed time (t=k) or inverse time (t=k/I 2 ) type. In the latter case, the trip time is given by the expression

WARNING: It is possible to disable the trip control of the protection (“Enable Trip: Off”).

For the whole duration of the earth fault, circuit-breaker opening does not take place, but only the alarm condition is signaled (“Alarm” LED lit and alarm message).

The PR123/P unit can provide two different types of earth fault protection, simultaneously:

Internal protection G

This is provided inside the release by vectorially summing the phase and neutral currents. The fault current is defined by the following formula:

In the case when the circuit does not show any fault, the module of the sum of these currents is always nil; vice versa the value of the fault current will take on an increasingly large value depending on the size of the fault. This operating mode is enabled by default.

N.B.: it can be used also with CS for an external neutral.

Protection G with external toroid “Source Ground Return”

Also called “Source Ground return”, this can be carried out when there is the need to check operation of a machine (transformer, generator or motor etc.) which has star-configured windings.

The protection is assured by physically positioning an external toroid on the cable connected from the star center of the machine to the earthing connection point.

The induced current on the winding of the toroid is proportional to the fault current which, in this case, only transits in the abovementioned toroid.

To work in this mode, “Ground protection” must be selected on the Circuit-breaker Settings menu.

WARNING: The external toroid must be connected to the PR123/P by means of a corded shielded two-wire cable

(see note A in par. 11.2.2) with a length not exceeding 15m.

The shield must be earthed both on the circuit-breaker side and on the toroid side.

It is indispensable for the star center to be connected openly to earth and for it not to be used as a neutral conductor too (as in the TNC system), making a protection according to the TT system.

The protections G and Gext can be enabled simultaneously. The minimum allowable threshold for the Gext protection is 0.1 x In

(where In is the rated current of the homopolar toroidal transformer; the In settings available are 100, 250, 400, 800A).

14.2.9.7.1 Start-up threshold “G”

The start-up function can be selected in the case where the curve with fixed time is selected.

The function can be enabled and disabled on the protection “G” page.

The function behaves in exactly the same way as the protection “S” (see par. 14.2.9.2.2).

14.2.9.7.2 Zone selectivity “G”

The zone selectivity function can be enabled providing the fixed time curve, the wiring and the zone selectivity “G” enabling alternative to the one for “D” have been selected and the function is assured only if auxiliary voltage is provided.

Zone selectivity “G” can be active at the same time as zone selectivity “S”.

The behavior and wiring of the function are identical to those indicated for zone selectivity “S” (see par. 14.2.9.2.3).

14.2.9.8. Protection against phase unbalance “U”

The protection with fixed time, which can be excluded, trips in the case when, for a time greater than or the same as the time t6 set, an unbalance is determined between two or more phases higher than the set threshold I6. Range: 2 … 90%, by 1% step.

The percentage of unbalance is therefore calculated

% Unb =

I max

I

I min

.

100

where I max

is the maximum and I min

is the minimum phase current.

Model

WARNING: It is possible to disable the trip control of the protection (“Enable Trip: Off”).

In that case, for the whole duration of the unbalance the CB will not be opened, but only the condition will be signaled by means of the “warning” LED lit up and a warning message.

When the value of the phase current is above 6xIn, the function “U” excludes itself because, in this case, the other protections intervene because the fault is considered as a phase fault.

The protection is not enabled for maximum phase current values lower than 0.3xIn.

14.2.9.9. Protection against overtemperature inside the relay “OT”

There is a sensor inside the PR123/P unit that monitors the temperature of the unit.

This enables the signalling of any abnormal temperature conditions, which could cause temporary or continuous malfunctions of the unit’s electronic components.

This protection has two states of operation:

State of “WARNING TEMPERATURE” with –25°C < temp. < -20°C or 70°C < temp. < 85°C : the display is turned off and the “WARNING” LED flashes at 0.5Hz

State of “ALARM TEMPERATURE” with temp. < –25°C or temp. > 85°C : the display is turned off, the “WARN-

ING” and “ALARM” leds flash at 2Hz and Trip is activated (if enabled by means of the “Over Temper. Trip = On” parameter).

N.B.:

-In the event of Warning and Alarm, the display is momentarily turned off, to preserve its functionality.

-The monitored temperature is not visible on the display.

The protection is always active, both with auxiliary supply and in self-powering.

WARNING: Disabling the Trip control of the protection means that the PR123/P unit could work, with the circuitbreaker closed, in a range of temperatures where correct operation of the electronics is not guaranteed.

14.2.9.10. Load control function

Single loads can be enabled/disabled on the load side before the overload protection L intervenes and trips the circuit-breaker on the supply side. This is done by contactors or switch-disconnectors (wired outside the release), controlled by the PR123/P by means of contacts on the PR120/K module or on the PR021/K external unit.

The current thresholds are lower than those available with the protection L, so that the load control can be used to prevent tripping due to overloads. The function is active when an auxiliary power supply or power by PR120/V module is present (see par. 15.1.4).

The operating logic involves the activation of three contacts when the preset thresholds LC1, LC2 and Iw are exceeded.

Thresholds LC1 and LC2 are expressed as a percentage of I1 (current threshold specified for protection L) while the “warning current” Iw is expressed as an absolute value. The allowable values are given in the following table:

Threshold LC1

Threshold LC2

Threshold Iw

50%...100% x I1 step 1% I1

50%...100% x I1 step 1% I1

0,3 ...10,0 x In step 0,05 In

From the PR123/P you can associate each of the PR120/K or PR121/K contacts with a configuration (NO or NC), a delay and any latch.

14.2.9.11. Voltage protections “UV”, “OV”, “RV”, “U”

The PR123/P unit provides 4 voltage protections, which can be disabled, with fixed adjustable time (t = k), active both with selfpowering and with auxiliary supply:

-Undervoltage “UV”

-Overvoltage “OV”

-Residual voltage “RV”

-Unbalance of line voltage “U”.

The protections work on the line voltages. The threshold voltages indicated refer to the line voltage.

Apart from the normal timing and “TRIP” operation, the voltage protections can be in a state defined as “alarm” (with the “emergency” led on and an alarm message displayed) providing there is an auxiliary or PR120/V module power supply. In fact, in the case where the circuit-breaker is open and no current is detected, the timing leads to the “alarm” state and not to “TRIP”. This is because the fault linked to the voltages can persist even with the circuit-breaker open and the unit would therefore always be under “timing”. When the circuit-breaker is closed or the passage of a current is detected, you pass immediately from the state of “alarm” to “TRIP” without timing (see par. 14.3.2).

The percentage of unbalance is therefore calculated

Voltage unbalance =

14.2.9.12. Protection against reverse active power “RP”

The PR123/P unit provides protection (which can be disabled) with an adjustable fixed time (t = k), against reverse active power, active both with self-powering and auxiliary supply.

When the total reverse active power (sum of the power of the 3 phases) exceeds the set reverse active power threshold P protection counts down the preset time interval t

and then opens.

14.2.9.14. Double protections setting

Using the double protections setting, the PR123/P can save a set of alternative parameters for all the protections. The second set of parameters (set B) can replace the default set (set A) by means of an external command. The passage from set A to set

B can be made when there is a change in the mains configuration or when there is an emergency capable of changing the load capacity and the short-circuit levels.

The second set of parameters (set B) can be enabled by:

-digital input provided with the PR120/K module. For instance, it can be connected to an auxiliary contact of a bus-tie;

-communication network, by means of the PR120/D-M (e.g. when the switch is scheduled);

-directly from the user interface on the PR123/P (see settings menu par. 14.5.4);

-with a time that can be specified by set A or set B after the circuit-breaker has closed;

-depending on a Vaux being installed.

In operation, the state (set A and set B) is indicated on the display.

The double setting is disabled by default. To enable it, see par. 14.5.4.1.

14.3.1. Connections

WARNING: For the connections provided by the user, it is recommended that you comply strictly with the recommendations contained in this document. This will enable us to satisfy all the international reference standards and guarantee perfect operation of the relay even under severe environmental and electromagnetic conditions.

Pay particular attention to the types of cable, the connections to earth and the maximum distances.

WARNING: The maximum length of the VT - PR120/V wiring must not exceed 15 meters.

Use corded shielded two-wire cable (see note A to par. 11.2.2).

The shield must be connected to earth on both sides.

WARNING: Use VTs with a shield, connected to earth (see standard VT par. 14.3.2).

The VTs should only be used for voltages > 690V; for lower voltages the presence of the PR120/V module connected to the lower or higher busbars will be sufficient. With VT enabled, the Voltage Transformer In present data will be set and VT’s phase-to-phase primary and secondary voltage properly adjusted.

14.3.1.1. Current sensor connection for external neutral

WARNING: If you want to connect the current sensor for the external neutral conductor to a three-pole circuitbreaker, remember to set I n ably isolated

14.3.3. CS and TC connection test

WARNING: If the PR123/P was installed by the user, it is important, before closing the CB, to check the last line on the display when the relay is turned on for the first time via a PR030/B battery unit. No CS and/or TC disconnected messages must appear; if they do, do not close the circuit-breaker immediately and make the correct connectionsi.

14.3.4. Test

Before putting into service, a test can be conducted by means of the specific “Auto test” function which can be activated on the PR123/P. A positive result is shown on the display.

Then a test can be conducted on the whole TC chain, again using the specific function (Trip test). A positive result is shown by the circuit-breaker opening. To run a Trip Test, press the “i

Test” button and the “Enter” button simultaneously.

Check the open or closed state of the circuit-breaker on the same “PR123/P Test” screen, checking that the CB is closed and de-energized.

14.3.5. Initial settings

If the PR123/P is supplied ready installed in the circuit-breaker, it is up to ABB SACE to set all the variables referring to the circuit-breaker or the specific application correctly (e.g. type of circuit-breaker, Rating Plug size...).

When the PR120/V module is installed, user must properly set the rated voltage.

Vice versa, if the PR123/P is supplied separately, it will be up to the user to set all the necessary parameters correctly.

Note that ABB SACE defines each possible setting according the content of the paragraph on the default parameters (see par.

14.4.4).

WARNING: Apart from this, it is absolutely indispensable for the user to modify the password and carefully define each modifiable parameter, before putting the PR123/P into service.

Select the value of the first figure ( between ‘0’ and ‘9’ ) by means of the  and  keys and press  to confirm the figure and then move on to enter the next one. After entering the fourth figure, check the password you have entered. If the password is correct, you go from the “READ” state to the “EDIT” state.

If the password is wrong, the message

Wrong password appears and remains until the ESC key is pressed (or until an interval of 5 seconds has elapsed).

It is also possible to interrupt the password entry procedure by pressing the ESC key.

Disabling the Password.

By setting the value of the password to [0000] (on the “Unit configuration” menu) the password prompt is disabled. It is therefore always possible to switch from “READ” to “EDIT”.

To enter a new password, select the “New Password” item on the “Settings/System” menu.

14.3.7. Replacing an electronic release

14.3.7.1. Installation

To complete the procedure for installing a PR123/P unit, follow the steps below:

1. With the circuit-breaker open and preferably isolated, install the protection unit on the circuit-breaker

2. Power the unit ONLY from the PR030/B

3. If there are no other errors, the display will show the message Configuration (configuration error) accompanied by the yellow LED coming on permanently (warning)

4. Enter the unit’s “Settings” menu

5. Select “Circuit-breaker”

6. Select “Unit installation”

7. Input the password

8. Select “Install” and press “ENTER”

9. When the red led flashes on and off and the message Installation (installation error) is displayed, remove the PR030/B

10. Power the relay from any other source.

Check for the absence of configuration errors.

14.3.7.2. Uninstalling

To complete the procedure for uninstalling a PR123/P unit, follow the steps below:

1. With the circuit-breaker open and/or isolated power the unit from the PR030/B

2. Enter the unit’s “Settings” menu

3. Select “Circuit-breaker”

4. Select “Unit installation”

5. Input the password

6. Select “Uninstall” and press “ENTER”

7. Remove the PR030/B

8. Remove the PR123/P unit from the circuit-breaker

9. The remove the TC connector, proceed as indicated in the figure alongside.

It is not strictly necessary to complete the uninstalling procedure, but this enables the parameters relating to the circuit-breaker, such as contact wear and others, to be saved, otherwise these data would be lost. The data in question are then transmitted to the new PR123/P unit installed on the same circuit-breaker.

14.4.2. Read and Edit modes

The menus map (see par. 14.5.1) shows all the pages which can be obtained and how to move between them from the keyboard, in the “READ” mode (just to read the data) or in the “EDIT” mode (to set the parameters).

Starting from any page displayed, the default page will be automatically displayed after about 120 sec inactivity (see par. 14.5.1).

The functions allowed depending on the state are:

“READ”:

  Consultation of the measurements and of the historical data

  Consultation of the unit configuration parameters

  Consultation of the protection parameters

“EDIT”:

  Everything allowed in READ mode

  Configuration of the unit

  Programming of the parameters relative to the protections

  TEST functions of the unit

To access the “EDIT” mode, it is necessary to press the  key on a page with fields which can be edited. A password will then be required to enable you to switch to the editing mode.

The use of the keys is summarized in the following table:

The neutral protection is normally set to a current value 50% of the adjustment made on the phases.

In some installations, where particularly high harmonics occur, the current circulating on the neutral may be higher than that of the phases.

In the SACE PR123/P release, this protection can be set for the following values: I n

N = 50% - 100% - 150% - 200% * I n

14.5.4.2.1 Neutral adjustment specifications

To adjust neutral (InN) comply with the following formula: I

1

x I n

N ≤Iu.

With a 4-pole CB, this setting is checked by the relay which signals any failure by means of a LED (see par. 14.6.1) and adjusts this parameter independently to the accepted limits.

With a 3-pole CB, with external neutral, the relay performs no checks and setting is to be done by user.

E.g. With E1B800 CB having a 400A Rating Plug, Iu = 800A and I1 = 1In, InN adjustment may be: 50-100-200%.

With E1B800 CB having a 800A Rating Plug, Iu = 800A and I1 = 1In, InN adjustment may be: 50-100%.

Note 1: The adjustment I

1

=1I n

is meant as the maximum adjustment of the overload protection. The actual maximum allowable adjustment must take into account any temperature derating, the terminals used and the altitude, or In (rating plug) ≤ 50% of CB size.

WARNING: Failure to comply with the setting limits for “I n consequent risks even for the operator.

” and “I n

N” can cause circuit-breaker damage with

14.5.6.1. Information on the trip and opening data

The PR123/P unit saves all the information relating to the type of protection tripped, the opening data, the date and time. Using the “i Test” key makes the release show all these data directly on the display. There is no need for an auxiliary power supply for this function. With an auxiliary power supply, the information is shown immediately on the display without the need to press the

“i Test” key and remains displayed indefinitely until you press the key.

The information remains available for 48 hours with dead relay. The data relating to the last 20 trips are stored in the unit’s memory.

By connecting a PR030/B battery unit and PR010/T or a BT030 USB wireless communication unit, you can retrieve the information relating to the last 20 trips recorded.

Access to view the opening data is via the Historicals submenu in the Measurements menu. The following is an example of the information provided:

In any case, functionality of the relay is in no way modified by the presence of the wear messages.

The prealarm message (wear > 80%, “warning” LED lighting up) indicates that the wear has reached a high value. The alarm message (100% wear, “alarm” LED lighting up) indicates that it is necessary to check the state of contact wear.

The percentage of wear depends on the number of openings carried out by the circuit-breaker and by the absolute current interrupted during each of them.

14.7.1. In the case of a fault

WARNING: If you suspect that the PR123/P is faulty, if has a malfunction or has generated an unwanted trip, it is advisable to follow the recommendations below very carefully from the

Measurements menu Historicals Trip:

1. Make a note of the type of protection that has tripped by accessing the LAST TRIP page if there is an external power supply

(Vaux or battery) or by pressing “i Test” if in self-powering mode.

2. Note down the type of circuit-breaker, number of poles, any accessories connected, In, Serial Number (see par. 14.4) and the

SW version.

3. Prepare a brief description of the opening (what LEDs and/or indications were displayed? when did it happen?, how many times ?, was it always under the same conditions? what type of load? what voltage? what current? is the event reproducible?)

4. Send/communicate all the information collected, together with the circuit diagram for the circuit-breaker, to your nearest ABB

Customer Support service.

The completeness and accuracy of the information given to the ABB Assistance service will facilitate technical analysis of the problem encountered, and will allow us to carry out all actions useful for the user rapidly.

WARNING: Letting a switch run with a fault that has not been remedied may lead to an apparatus malfunction or shutdown. Remove the apparatus immediately until it can be inspected or repaired if this situation may lead to personal injury, damage or is otherwise critical.

14.8. Accessories

15. Modules

15.1. PR120/V - MEASURING Module

15.1.1. General characteristics

The MEASURING module records and processes the phase voltages. The measurements are sent by the module to the protection release, enabling the implementation of a set of protection and measurement functions. The module comes with a “Power” LED and a sealable isolator for dielectric stiffness tests. The module also enables the relay to be powered.

15.1.2. Front view

-“Power Line” LED (lit when busbar voltage is On, see 15.1.4))

-Isolator

Isolator

WARNING: Before performing the dielectric stiffness test it is essential to turn the isolator into the Test position mode by turning the screw anticlockwise until you reach the end of stroke position.

WARNING: After performing a dielectric stiffness test, restore the isolator to its original position by turning it clockwise until you reach the opposite end of stroke, because all the voltage protections are disabled while the isolator is in the test position.

Dielectric strength tests on the secondary lines of Voltage Transformers connected, if any, are not allowed.

At the end of the procedure, make sure that the Power line LED is on.

15.1.3. Releases complete with the module

-standard for PR123/P

-optional for PR122/P.

15.1.4. Powering the PR122/P and PR123/P units via the PR120/V module

The PR122/P and PR123/P units are powered by the MEASURING module via the busbar voltage.

The powering stage is capable of operating starting from a voltage of 80 Vrms two-phase phase to phase up to 897 Vrms ( 1.3

* 690 Vrms ) three-phase phase to phase at its input (coming directly from the busbars or from a transformer secondary). In the case of three-phase systems with a rated voltage greater than 690 Vrms phase to phase, a step-down transformer (with a transformation ratio of less than 1) is used. See par. 15.1.7.

The following tables show the phase-to-phase voltage values at the MEASURING module’s input for which the relays and modules are enabled:

16. Appendices

16.1. PR021/K outside signalling unit

16.1.1. General information

The signalling unit converts the digital signals provided by the protection units into electrical signals by means of normally-open electric contacts.

Information on the status of the protection functions transits on a dedicated serial line connected to the release.

The following signals/contacts are available:

-L overload prealarm (the alarm signal remains enabled throughout the overload, until the release has been tripped)

-protections timing and trip (the protections trip signal remains enabled during the timing-controlled phase and after the release has been tripped)

-I protection trip

-timing and overheating threshold overrun

-two contacts for load control

-release trip

-communication error on serial line (connections between protection and signalling units)

-phase unbalance.

By setting the DIP switches, you can configure the signals of 7 programmable contacts, This can be done by selecting them directly in the PR121 relay via PR010/T or SD-Testbus 2; PR122/P or PR123/P relay, choosing from a long list, including: directional protection trip D, minimum and maximum voltage trip UV and OV, reverse power trip RP and others.

Two contacts available on the SACE PR021/K (load control) unit enable you to control a release for opening and closing the circuit-breaker. These contacts enable various applications, including load control, alarms, signals, electric cutouts.

A Reset button enables you to zero the status of all the front optical signals and return the relays’ contacts to the resting position.

The unit also contains ten LEDs to display the following information:

-Power ON: auxiliary power supply on

-Tx(int Bus): flashing synchronized with dialogue with the Internal Bus

-Eight LEDs associated with the signaling contacts.

16.1.5.2. Important note

WARNING: The unit must be connected to the PR122/P or PR123/P by means of an internal busbar with a shielded, corded two-wire cable (see note A, par. 11.2.2) no more than 15 m long.

The shield must be earthed both on the circuit-breaker side and on the PR021/K side. For the installation and operation of the PR021/K accessory, refer to the specific user manual.

16.2. SD-Testbus2

SD-TestBus2 is the installation and diagnostic software for ABB SACE products with a Modbus RTU communication. It can be used during commissioning, or to find faults in an already up and running communication network.

This enables the connection to a PR121/P, PR122/P and PR123/P.

SD-TestBus2 runs an automatic scan on the RS-485 bus, recording all the devices connected and checking their configurations, and also testing all the possible combinations of addresses, parity and baud rate.

With a simple click on SCAN you can pinpoint the devices that fail to respond, the configuration errors, the wrong addresses and parity errors, and so on.

After scanning, the software shows warning messages on potential problems or configuration errors, enabling a complete diagnosis of the communication network. These functions are not limited to the ABB SACE devices: any apparatus using the Modbus

RTU standard protocol is recorded and tested.

For the ABB SACE circuit-breakers with an electronic release, the software provides a vast range of additional functions, for checking the wiring, setting opening, closing or reset commands, and reading diagnostic information.

This program is so easy to use that it guarantees a trouble-free installation and commissioning of a Modbus communication network.

SD-TestBus2 is distributed free of charge (freeware) and can be downloaded from the BOL site (http://bol.it.abb.com).

Ekip connect, the new diagnostic software for ABB Sace products, will soon be available.

16.3. Data Logger (recorder)

The data logger function is available on the PR122/P and PR123/P units and it can be used to save the instantaneous values of certain analog and digital measurements automatically in a large-sized memory buffer. The data can easily be downloaded from the unit using either the SD-TestBus application via a Modbus bus, and transferred to any personal computer for processing. The function stops the recording every time a trip occurs in order to facilitate failure analysis.

16.3.4. Description of the information given by the Data Logger system

16.3.4.1. Combination of devices for reading/setting data from the Data Logger system

By connecting to the release’s outside bus, you can set certain data logger parameters, triggers or commands, or read certain types and sequences of data in its memory.

The combinations of devices and the consequent software combinations that enables these functions are as follows:

1) PR122/P + BT030 USB

2) PR122/P + PR120/D-M + SD-Testbus or remote system

3) PR122/P + PR120/D-BT

4) PR123/P + BT030 USB

5) PR123/P + PR120/D-M + SD-Testbus or remote system

6) PR123/P + PR120/D-BT

7) PR122/P + PR010/T *

8) PR123/P + PR010/T *

* With these combinations it is impossible to download sequences of stored data

In this manual, the term “from the system” is used to define both the operations that are carried out using one of the combinations with SD-Testbus, and the operations that involve connecting to a remote system.

16.3.4.2. Access to saved data from the system

When the event associated with the stop event occurs or a stop command is received, the following data are saved in the recording block:

• Data logger Trigger, which indicates the type of stop event (trigger) that has prompted the stoppage of the data logger;

• Time-stamp of the stop event (trigger) (day/hour + minutes/seconds/milliseconds)(4 words);

• Data logger max file, which indicates which is the max file with consistent data;

• Data logger max address, which indicates the max address number of a block with consistent data.

The following information is recorded in the block for each sampling period:

1. current sample L1

2. current sample L2

3. current sample L3

4. current sample Ne

5. voltage sample U12

6. voltage sample U23

7. voltage sample U31

8. digital inputs/outputs (among 16 possible options, e.g. inputs/outputs for Zone Selectivity, PR120/K contact status, ...)

9. alarms1 (among 16 possible options, e.g. L timing, G alarm, Prealarm)

10. allarmi2 (tra 16 possibili. Es: UF timing, OV timing, Frequency error, RP timing)

16.3.4.3. Information from the system on the configuration and status of the Data Logger

The following information is provided on the status of the data logger:

STATUS

Waiting trigger:

Data Logger triggered:

Data Logger stopped: this means that the data logger is enabled and waiting for the occurrence of the event selected as the trigger.

this indicates that the trigger event has occurred and the data logger is still recording.

this means that the recording has been terminated either because it has been completed or because a data logger stop command has been received, or because a trip has occurred.

CONFIGURATION

Data Logger Config: indicates whether or not the data logger is active

Data Logger Trigger Type: indicates the stop event (trigger) setting

Data logger stopping delay: indicates the delay for the stop

16.3.5. Data logger commands from the system

When a data logger stop command is given, the recording is stopped from the system. The subsequent recording is enabled by a Restart trigger command. The same applies to the operator panel, as illustrated in par. 16.4.2.6.

Example of data logger operation

The following figure shows an example of how a trigger works, the data logger’s function, the effect of the stopping delay and of the restart and subsequent stop commands on the data saving procedure

16.4.4. Combining the devices needed to customize settings

The “custom” events can be selected using a remote control system SD-TestBus.

The devices you need to enable you to do so can be selected from among the following:

1) PR122/P + BT030 USB

2) PR122/P + PR120/D-M + SD-Testbus or remote system

3) PR122/P + PR120/D-LV

4) PR122/P + PR010/T

16.5. Residual current protection function Rc

16.5.1. General

EMAX circuit-breakers can be equipped with a toroid fitted at the rear of the CB (at a max distance of ten meters) so as to ensure protection against residual current ground faults.

In particular, the electronic releases which can ensure this function are as follows:

- PR122/P LSIRc,

- PR122/P LSIG fitted with a PR120/V module

- PR123/P LSIG.

The residual current protection function is available only in the event of a dedicated rating plug which carries sensitivity ranges and non-trip times characterizing this function.

Two toroidal sizes are available: the small toroid can be installed on E1 and E2 three-pole sizes, the medium toroid can be installed on E1 and E2 four-pole sizes and on E3 three-pole sizes.

The PR122/P LSIRc unit provides all PR122/P LSI functions but with one addition: protection against residual current faults.

Using PR122/P LSIG with additional PR120/V module, the protection against residual current is added to a unit having the characteristics of a PR122/P LSI and all additional ones described for the PR120/V module, see par. 15.1.

With a PR123/P LSIG unit, the Rc protection function replaces the external G function (Gext); however, G function is retained.

WARNING: The Rc protection is activated only when a rating plug dedicated to Rc function is available, and after correctly performing the unit installation procedure.

This protection cannot be disabled.

16.5.2. Putting into service

The PR122/P LSIRc unit comes already configured.

However, when a PR122/P LSIG or PR123/P LSIG units are used, follow the directions below to update the unit:

1. Disconnect all power supplies;

2. Replace the rating plug with one supplied by SACE for Rc application;

3. Install the toroid on the busbars as shown in the 1SDH000601R0001 document;

4. Connect the toroid to the release as per the wiring diagram on page 153;

5. Power the unit through PR030/B and proceed to installation according to the following path: settings, CB, earth protection, external toroid, RC. Confirm the changes;

6. Check that no failures are indicated;

7. Set threshold and times of Rc protection;

8. Conduct an Rc test, see par. 16.6.3; check for correct operation.

16.5.3. Rc test menu

The test page of Rc protection can be accessed by pressing the “iTest” key for 7 seconds, or else the Rc test page can be reached through the following path: test; Rc (Idn). Rc test screen will be displayed; press the “iTest” key again to test.

A successful result will be proved by CB opening within the times previously set.

WARNING: In the event of a fault related to the connections between toroid and protection unit, the wording: GText sensor, will be displayed.

16.6. Flex interface

Flex interfaces are electronic modules that can be fitted on a DIN guide, with analogue and/or digital inputs and outputs and can be connected to the supervision system (Master) or to the electronic release by a local bus.

The family of Flex interfaces consists of devices connected to the system bus (SD) and of accessories connected to the local bus and to the release by MM030 (AD)

18.3. Incompatibilities

The circuits indicated in the following figures cannot be supplied simultaneously on the same circuit-breaker:

6 - 7 - 8

13 - 14

22 - 46 - 47

43 - 44 - 48

18.4. Notes

A) The circuit-breaker is only fitted with the accessories specified in the ABB SACE order acknowledgement. Consult this catalogue for information on how to make out an order.

B) The undervoltage release is supplied for operation using a power supply branched on the supply side of the circuit-breaker or from an independent source. The circuit-breaker can only close when the release is energized (there is a mechanical lock on closing).

If the same power supply is used for the closing and undervoltage releases and the circuit-breaker is required to close automatically when the auxiliary power supply comes back on, a 30 ms delay must be introduced between the undervoltage release accept signal and the energizing of the closing release. This may be achieved using an external circuit comprising a permanent make contact, the contact shown in fig. 12 and a time-delay relay.

E) For connecting the EIA RS485 serial line, see “Technical Application Book – volume 9” communication via BUS with the ABB switches.

F) The auxiliary voltage Vaux allows actuation of all operations of the PR121/P, PR122/P and PR123/P releases.

Having requested a Vaux insulated from earth, one must use “galvanically separated converters” in compliance with IEC

60950 (UL 1950) or equivalent standards that ensure a common mode current or leakage current (see IEC 478/1, CEI 22/3) not greater than 3.5 mA, IEC 60364-41 and CEI 64-8.

G) Earth fault protection is available with the PR122/P and PR123/P releases by means of a current sensor located on the conductor connecting to earth the star center of the MV/LV transformer.

The connections between terminals 1 and 2 (or 3) of current transformer UI/O and poles T7 and T8 of the X (or XV) connector must be made with a two-pole shielded and stranded cable (type BELDEN 3105A/3105B) no more than 15m long. The shield must be earthed on the circuit-breaker side and current sensor side.

N) With releases PR122/P and PR123/P, the connections to the zone selectivity inputs and outputs must be made with a twopole shielded and stranded cable (type BELDEN 3105A/3105B), no more than 300m long. The shield must be earthed on the selectivity input side.

O) Systems with a rated voltage greater than 690V require the use of an insulation voltage transformer to connect to the busbars

(connect according to the diagrams on the sheet provided with the kit 1SDH000460R0508).

P) With releases PR122/P and PR123/P with communication module PR120/D-M, the coils YO and YC are controlled directly from contacts K51/YO and K51/YC with maximum voltages of 110-120 VDC and 240-250 VAC.

Q) The second shunt opening release may be installed as an alternative to the undervoltage release.

R) The SACE SOR TEST UNIT + opening release (YO) is guaranteed to operate starting at 75% of the Vaux of the opening release itself.

While the YO power supply contact is closing (short-circuit on terminals 4 and 5), the SACE SOR TEST UNIT is unable to detect the opening coil status.

Consequently:

- For continuously powered opening coil, the TEST FAILED and ALARM signals will be activated

- If the coil opening command is of the pulsing type, the TEST FAILED signal may appear at the same time. In this case, the

TEST FAILED signal is actually an alarm signal only if it remains lit for more than 20s.

S) Also available in the version with normally-closed contact

U) The measuring module PR120/V is always supplied with relay PR123/P.

V) If fig. 22 is present (second set of auxiliary contacts) simultaneously as relay PR122/P (or PR123/P), the contacts for the zone selectivity in fig. 42 (K51/SZin, K51/SZout, K51/GZin and K51/GZout) are not wired. In addition, the indicator module PR120/K in figures 46 and 47 cannot be supplied.

W) For the connections between TO toroidal transformer and poles of CB X (or XV) connector, use a shielded 4-pole cable with paired braided wires (BELDEN 9696 paired type), length not exceeding 10m. The shielding will be grounded on CB side.

X) T3 and T4 poles of X (or XV) connector are used to measure voltage when U>690V. In this case, they must be connected to the secondary winding of the TU voltage transformer (see fig. 44). Ask ABB SACE for applications of the residual current protection with voltages higher than 690V.

Y) The shielding of the connection cable will be grounded on CB side only. The connection must be made with a two-pole shielded and stranded cable (type BELDEN 3105A) no more than 15m long.

Z) Short-circuit T5 and T6 if the external neutral current sensor (UI/N)is not connected.
