The communications bus requires its own 24 V DC power source (E1, E2). This source
is not the same as the 24 V DC external power-supply module (F1-, F2+).
The BAT battery module, mounted in series upstream of the AD module, ensures an
uninterrupted supply of power if the AD module power supply fails.
The voltage measurement inputs are standard equipment on the downstream
connectors of the circuit breaker.
External connections are possible using the PTE external voltage measurement input
option. With this option, the internal voltage measurement inputs are disconnected and
terminals VN, V1 and V2 are connected only to the control unit (Micrologic P and H only).
The PTE option is required for voltages less than 100 V and greater than 690 V (in which
case a voltage transformer is required). For three-pole devices, the system is supplied
with terminal VN connected only to the control unit (Micrologic P and H).
When the PTE option is implemented, the voltage measurement input must be protected
against short-circuits. Installed as close as possible to the busbars, this protection
function is ensured by a P25M circuit breaker (1 A rating) with an auxiliary contact (cat.
no. 21104 and 21117). This voltage measurement input is reserved exclusively for the
control unit and must not ever be used to supply other circuits outside the switchboard.

Wiring information
The PC is connected to the RS232/485 converter via a standard RS232 cable.
The recommended cable from the converter to the required devices is Belden 8723
with a maximum length of 3000m.
All devices on this line must be daisy chained, and communicate using Powerlogic,
Jbus or Modbus protocols.

A pilot wire interconnects a number of circuit breakers equipped with Micrologic A/P/H
control units, as illustrated in the diagram above.
The control unit detecting a fault sends a signal upstream and checks for a signal
arriving from downstream. If there is a signal from downstream, the circuit breaker
remains closed for the full duration of its tripping delay. If there is no signal from
downstream, the circuit breaker opens immediately, whatever the tripping-delay setting.
Fault 1.
Only circuit breaker A detects the fault. Because it receives no signal from downstream,
it immediately opens in spite of its tripping delay set to 0.3.
Fault 2.
Circuit breakers A and B detect the fault. Circuit breaker A receives a signal from B and
remains closed for the full duration of its tripping delay set to 0.3. Circuit breaker B does
not receive a signal from downstream and opens immediately, in spite of its tripping
delay set to 0.2.

Power connection
Cables connections
When cable connections are required it is important to
ensure that no excessive mechanical forces are
applied to the rear terminals.
It is recommended that connections are made as
follows:
c Extend the circuit breaker terminals using short
bars designed and installed according to the
recommendations for bar-type power connections:
v For a single cable, use solution B opposite.
v For multiple cables, use solution C opposite.
c In all cases, follow the general rules for
connections to busbars:
v Position the cable lugs before inserting the bolts
v The cables should be firmly secured to the
framework of the switchboard.
Busbars connections

B
Electrodynamic stresses
The first busbar support or spacer should be situated within a maximum distance
from the connection point of the breaker (see table below). This distance must be
respected so that the connection can withstand the electrodynamic stresses
between phases in the event of a short circuit.
Maximum distance A between busbar to circuit breaker connection and the first busbar
support or spacer with respect to the value of the prospective short-circuit current.

Clamping
Correct clamping of busbars depends amongst other things, on the tightening
torques used for the nuts and bolts. Over-tightening may have the same
consequences as under-tightening.
For connecting busbars to the circuit breaker, the tightening torques to be used are
shown in the table below.
These values are for use with copper busbars and steel nuts and bolts, class 8.8.
The same torques can be used with AGS-T52 quality aluminium bars (French
standard NFA 02-104 or American National Standard H-35-1).

Example
Conditions:
c Drawout version.
c Horizontal busbars.
c Ti: 50 C .
c Service current: 1800 A.
Solution:
For Ti = 50 C, use an NW20 which can be connected
with three 80x5 mm bars or two mm 63x10 bars.

Temperature derating
Temperature derating
The table below indicates the maximum current rating,
for each connection type, as a function of the ambient
temperature around the circuit breaker and the
busbars.
Circuit breakers with mixed connections have the
same derating as horizontally connected breakers.
For ambient temperatures greater than 60 C,
consult us.
Temperature inside the switchboard around the circuit
breaker and its connection: Ti (IEC 60947-2)

An overview
Choice of services
Our services aim to add value to each project phase, but
the choice of services you use is entirely yours. You may
want a full set of services that together provide a package
of support covering the entire lifecycle of your project, or
you can select a combination of services to complement
your resources or knowledge.
If you are not sure of what you need, our consultation
services will help you to define the parameters of your
solution.
Consultation
These services provide you with an assured way to road
map your project. We take your ideas and requirements
and apply our wide range of application experience and
technical competence to produce conceptual designs and
indicative costings.
Design
Using the analysis from the consultation phase, or
information that you may provide, the design phase selects
the most suitable equipment and provides detailed
drawings and technical specifications.
Implementation
This is often the most time-pressured stage of a project
when schedules demand fast implementation and
commissioning. These services provide high quality
installation and commissioning, preceded by thorough
preparation.
Operation
Efficient operation is vital to derive the best value from your
investment. These services ensure that installations achieve
the highest operational efficiency and are cost-effectively
maintained with minimum downtime.
Modernisation
Faulty or ageing equipment can be refurbished and
repaired if this is the most cost-effective action.
Training
A wide range of training services are available including
product standards and legislation. Each is regularly
updated to stay current with the latest technology. Training
can be delivered at a Schneider Electric training facility, or
at a customers own site.
