5.1.3.1 Clearances / arcing space
Generally:
The installation space dimensions given on the type label ensure the necessary clearances to grounded metal surfaces up to
600 V AC according to UL 489.
Additional guidelines for applications without compartmentalization as cubicles or for positioning of parts within the cubicle are given below.
Clearances to live parts, grounded metallic parts and non-conductive parts must be maintained. The required minimum clearances are
specified for rated voltages of 480 V AC and 600 V AC. In consideration for a ventilated switchboard: the minimum installation volume is
calculated based on the specified height, width and depth, taking into consideration the power losses of ventilated switchgear.

The basic protective functions of the trip unit are ensured without additional auxiliary voltage. The required energy is supplied by the
circuit breaker's internal energy transformers.
To evaluate the currents, the electronic system of the trip unit calculates the r.m.s value.
The individual functions are parameterized according to the types via:
- rotary coding switch (ETU745 - 748)
- electronic data transfer (ETU776) via:
-the BDA
-the PROFIBUS-DP / MODBUS
- the control board (ETU776)
Overload protection – L-tripping
The current setting IR defines the maximum continuous current the circuit breaker can carry without tripping. The long-time delay tR
determines the maximum duration of an overload without tripping.
The tripping characteristic is an I2t characteristic. Some trip units can be switched over to an I4t characteristic.
(page 9-15)
Short-time delayed short-circuit tripping – S-tripping
On trip units ETU745 - 776, tripping due to the short-circuit current Isd can be delayed by the time tsd.
This provides selectivity for short-circuit protection in switchgear with several grading levels.
1) The delay time 0.02 sec. is not an I2t function.
The motor protection function is activated in this position.
2) For settings tsd >0.4 sec., the maximum possible setting Isd is reduced automatically according to the frame size:
Frame size I : 15 kA
Frame size II : 20 kA
Frame size III : 30 kA
The setting "OFF" for trip units ETU745 and ETU776 is provided to deactivate the short-time delayed short-circuit protection.
If the zone selective interlocking (ZSI) (page 9-15) is used and the ZSI module is set to "S" or "S+G" the adjusted delay time tsd is auto-
matically set to 50 ms provided that in the event of short-circuit the circuit breaker does not receive a blocking signal from a downstream
circuit breaker. In this case regardless of the adjusted tsd value the circuit breaker will trip after 50 ms.
If a blocking signal exists the adjusted delay time tsd is valid. For safety reasons after 3 s the blocking signal is terminated.
Setting values for IR
ETU745 - 748 IR = (0.4 / 0.45 / 0.5 / 0.55 / 0.6 / 0.65 / 0.7 / 0.8 / 0.9 / 1.0) x In
ETU776 IR = (0.4 - 1.0) x In (given in Amps)
Setting values for tR
ETU745 - 748 tR = 2 / 3.5 / 5.5 / 8 / 10 / 14 / 17 / 21 / 25 / 30 sec. (at 6 x IR)
ETU776 tR = 2 - 30 sec. (at 6 x IR)
Setting values for Isd
ETU745 - 748 Isd = (1.25 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12) x In
ETU776 Isd = 1.25 x In - 0.8 x ICW
(given in Amps)
Setting values for tsd
ETU745 tsd = 0.02(M)1) / 0.1 / 0.2 / 0.3 / 0.4 sec.; OFF
ETU748 tsd = 0.02(M)1) / 0.1 / 0.2 / 0.3 / 0.4 sec.
ETU776 tsd = 0.02(M)1) / 0.08 - 4 sec.2); OFF
9 – 13
Some trip units can be switched over to an I2t-characteristic. (page 9-16)
Motor protection function
In the circuit breaker position tsd = 0.02 sec., a special protection function for electromotive drives is activated. It prevents the short-time
delayed short-circuit tripping from being activated during the switch-on current peak of electric motors. At the same time, a phase failure
protection is activated (page 9-14) and the time constant for the internally calculated reproduction of the temperature rise and cooling
process is switched over from switchgear protection to motor protection.
Instantaneous short-circuit tripping – I-tripping
If the current setting Ii is exceeded, the circuit breaker is tripped instantaneously.
Ground-fault tripping – G-tripping
If the trip unit is equipped with a ground-fault protection module, loads can be protected against impermissibly high ground-fault currents.
Trip units ETU745 - 776 can be equipped with it optionally. Ground-fault protection modules (page 9-45)
The response value Ig, together with the setting for the delay time tg, determines the shutdown of ground-fault currents.
If the zone selective interlocking (ZSI) (page 9-15) is used and the ZSI module is set to "S" or "S+G" the adjusted delay time tg is auto-
matically set to 100 ms provided that in the event of ground-fault the circuit breaker does not receive a blocking signal from a downstream
circuit breaker. In this case regardless of the adjusted tg value the circuit breaker will trip after 100 ms.
If a blocking signal exists the adjusted delay time tg is valid. For safety reasons after 3 s the blocking signal is terminated. Some trip units
can be switched over to an I2t-characteristic.
Setting values for Ii
ETU745 OFF: Ii = ICW
Ii = (1.5 / 2.2 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 × In

Neutral conductor protection – N-tripping
Trip units ETU745 - 776 also make it possible to protect the neutral conductor against overload. This requires a current transformer for the
neutral conductor, which can be retrofitted if necessary. (page 9-92)
For tripping, the same long-time delay tR applies as for overload tripping.
9.1.6.2 Additional functions
Load monitoring (load restore / load shedding)
Trip units ETU745 - ETU776 offer the possibility of additional load monitoring. Two current values, "load shedding" and "load restore", as
well as a delay time tx, can be set.
If the setting value "load restore" is undershot, and the lower limit value for current transmission is exceeded at the same time, a signal is
output by the CublicleBUS after the set delay time tx has elapsed. If the setting value "load shedding" is exceeded, a signal is output by the
CublicleBUS after the set delay time tx has elapsed. These signals can be used to connect or disconnect loads, thereby preventing an over-
load tripping of incoming circuit breakers.
Load monitoring can be adjusted via:
- the alphanumeric display (ETU745 - 748)
- the graphical display (ETU776)
-the BDA
-the PROFIBUS-DP
-the MODBUS.
Leading signal for L-tripping
Trip units ETU745 - 776 provide a leading signal for "L-tripping", which is transmitted via the CublicleBUS 100 milliseconds before overload
tripping. In this way it is possible e.g. to disconnect thyristor controllers.
Phase failure protection
Trip units ETU776, the phase failure protection can also be activated when the motor protection is not activated.
If the phase failure protection is activated and the operating current of the lowest loaded phase is 50% lower than the operating current of
the highest loaded phase, the setting value IR is automatically reduced to 80%. If the values of the three phase currents differ by less than
50%, the setting IR applies again.
Setting values for IN
ETU745 - 748 IN = (0.5 / 1.0) × In; OFF
ETU776 IN = (0.2 - 2.0) × In; OFF
NOTICE
Neutral Conductor Overheating.
Neutral conductor or insulation may be damaged.
Settings IN > 1 x In should only be used if the neutral conductor has been properly sized.
Setting values for load monitoring
"Load shedding" and "load restore" 40 A - 1.5 x In
Delay time tx = 1 - 15 sec.
9 – 15
Thermal memory can be switched On/Off
Trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to continue with the internally calculated reproduction of the thermal processes in downstream
switchgear and consumers even if the circuit breaker is open and the electronic system has no external supply. In this way, an effective
protection against thermal overload can also be guaranteed for frequent closing and opening processes.
The thermal memory can be activated via:
- a slide switch (ETU745, ETU748)
- the graphical display (ETU776)
- the BDA (ETU776)
-the PROFIBUS-DP (ETU776)
- the MODBUS (ETU776).
Zone selective interlocking
If the circuit breaker is combined with a ZSI module (page 9-83), a short-circuit occurring in systems with several grading levels can be
precisely localized.
For this purpose, all circuit breakers are interconnected through their ZSI-modules.
When a short-circuit occurs, each circuit breaker affected by the short-circuit current queries its downstream circuit breaker to determine
whether the short-circuit is also present in the next downstream grading level. In the direction of the energy flow, only the circuit breaker
nearest to the short-circuit is tripped. A delay time which may have been set for the short-circuit tripping is deactivated. However, tripping
takes place after 50 milliseconds at the earliest.
Overload protection switchable to I4t
Trip units ETU745 and ETU776 make it possible to switch over from the I2t to an I4t inverse-time function for overload protection by means of
a slide switch. This improves the selectivity of the overload protection in combination with fuses.
In this case, the setting options for the long delay time tR change as follows:
Setting values for tR
ETU745 - 748 tR = 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 sec. (at 6 x IR)
ETU776 tR = 1- 5 sec. (at 6 x IR)
9 – 16
Short-time delayed short-circuit protection switchable to I2t
Trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to switch over from a constant delay time to an I2t-characteristic. In this way, the delay time
depends on the short-circuit current, but with a constant I2tsd-value, providing better coordination with downstream fuses.
In this case, the setting options for the short-time delay tR are as follows:
Switchover to the I2tsd characteristic can be made via:
-the t
sd rotary coding switch (ETU745 - 748); this must be set to a value in the white area.
.
- the graphical display (ETU776)
- the BDA (ETU776)
-the PROFIBUS-DP (ETU776)
- the MODBUS (ETU776).
Changeable parameter sets
Trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to store two different parameter sets for protective functions.
This enables new protection settings to be adopted when a transfer to another supply source takes place.
Switchover can be made manually via:
- the graphical display (ETU776)
- the test socket with the BDA
or automatically via:
-the CublicleBUS with an input signal at the digital input module.
-the PROFIBUS-DP
-the MODBUS.
Settings for tsd
ETU745 - 748 tsd = 0.1 / 0.2 / 0.3 / 0.4 sec. (at 12 x In)
ETU776 tsd = 0.1 - 0.4 sec. (bei 12 x In)
9 – 17
Ground-fault protection switchable to I2t characteristic
The ground-fault protection modules for trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to switch over from a constant delay time to an
I2t characteristic.
This provides an inverse-time tripping characteristic with a constant I2tg value, providing better selectivity of the ground-fault protection in
systems with several grading levels.
The setting options for the delay time remain unchanged.
Switchover to the I2tg characteristic can be made via:
-the t
g rotary coding switch (ETU745 - 748);
this must be set to a value in the white area.
- the graphical display (ETU776)
- the BDA (ETU776)
-the PROFIBUS-DP (ETU776)
- the MODBUS (ETU776).

9.1.8 Rating plug
The rating plug defines the rated current In within a certain range for a given circuit breaker frame size.
If a rating plug with a higher current than the maximum permissible circuit breaker rated continuous current is plugged in, the electronic
system of the trip unit recognizes this error and signals it with a flashing T.U. ERROR indicator.
The trip unit ignores the rated current value specified by the incorrect rating plug and sets it to the value of the smallest rating plug for the
frame size of the relevant circuit breaker.
The same happens if a circuit breaker with frame size III is equipped with a rating plug smaller than 800 A.
All set protection parameters are adjusted accordingly.
It is not permitted to operate the trip unit without a rating plug. If a circuit breaker is nevertheless started up without a rating plug,
the T.U. ERROR indicator will light up and the trip unit settings will default to the lowest possible settings for that frame rating.
Frame size Rating plug Catalog No.

9.1.9 Ground-fault protection modules
Various trip units can be optionally equipped with ground-fault protection modules. The following ground-fault protection modules cannot be
removed once they have been installed.
Depending on the ground-fault protection module version, the set value being exceeded will cause either an alarm only or an alarm and a
trip at the same time. (page 9-13)
The following device combinations are possible:
The following options exist for ground-fault detection:
- vectorial summation of the phase currents or vectorial summation of the phase currents and the neutral conductor current if a
neutral sensor is used
- Direct measurement of the ground-fault current using a separate 1200 A : 1 A ground-fault sensor
Input current carrying capacity of the ground-fault protection module:
-max. 1 A continuous
-max. 5 A for 0.5 sec.
Alarm and tripped signals can be transmitted via the c, PROFIBUS-DP and MODBUS.
Module GFM A 745
- Alarm only, circuit breaker does not trip
- The changeover switch for ground-fault detection is only accessible when the control panel or the trip unit itself is removed.
NOTICE
Circuit breaker may trip.
If the trip settings are changed while the breaker is closed (and under load) the breaker may trip.
Adjust parameters only when the circuit breaker is in the open position.

MODBUS interface
The COM16 module is equipped with a 2-wire RS485 interface. The MODBUS connector is a 9-pin female Sub-D connector with the
following pinout:
The cable shielding must be connected to the circuit breaker's protective grounding to prevent EMF disturbances being channeled into the
module.
Write Enable input
The COM16 Module is equipped with an input that must be activated to allow the module to accept remote control commands as well as
remote parameterization. When this input is not active, the module will reject all incoming packets that would normally change the state of
an output (open/close circuit breaker) or change protective parameters. Normal polling and communication of data are not affected.
The following commands are blocked if the Write Enable input is inactive:
- opening/closing circuit breaker
- resetting after a trip
- Changing any protective function parameters and extended protective function parameters
- changing any communications parameter (e.g. address)
- changing any parameter of the metering function (e.g. demand period length)
- resetting any diagnostic or service-related counter or indicator
- setting/resetting outputs of the digital output modules
The following commands are always allowed, independent of the state of the Write Enable input:
- changing and setting the trigger settings of the waveform capture function
- reading the contents of the waveform buffer
- changing alarm and setpoint function settings
- changing any of the customer-changeable text strings
- resetting the min/max log
- setting/resetting the "Free Output" of the COM16 module
- setting system time

MODBUS Functionality
Transmission Protocol
The COM16 module operates in the RTU transmission mode. ASCII transmission mode is not supported.
Overview of supported Functions

9 – 66
MODBUS Communication settings
For MODBUS communication, the following settings must be made in the COM16 module: baud rate, serial transmission configuration,
MODBUS address.
MODBUS Slave Address
The MODBUS communication address range of the COM16 module is 1 through 126.
MODBUS address 0 is used as a broadcast address in MODBUS systems.
MODBUS address 0xF1(hex) is defined as a broadcast address for COM16 modules.
The MODBUS slave address is assigned to data point 5 and may be changed by writing a new address value to high-byte of register 40962
(0xA002). If the COM16 module receives an invalid slave address value, the invalid value will be ignored.
Baud Rate
Baud rate settings of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 are supported. 19200 baud is the default setting. The baud rate is assigned to data
point 427 and may be changed by writing a new baud rate value to high-byte of register 40984 (0xA022). The following numbers are used to
identify the selected baud rate. If the COM16 module receives an invalid baud rate, the invalid baud rate will be ignored.
Parity
Parity settings of "No Parity", "Odd Parity" and "Even Parity" are supported. "Even Parity" is the default setting. The parity is assigned to data
point 428 and may be changed by writing a new parity value to the low-byte of register 40994 (0xA022). The following numbers are used to
identify the selected parity. If the COM16 module receives an invalid parity, the invalid parity will be ignored.
Auto configuration of baud rate and parity
The factory settings for baud rate and parity are 19200 baud and "Even Parity". These settings may be changed either by writing from the
master to data points 427 and 428 in register 40994 (0xA022) or via the auto configuration process. The auto configuration process only
occurs when the supply voltage is switched on.
When the supply voltage is switched on, the COM16 module monitors the bus activity. If the COM16 module detects bus activity but cannot
receive any valid data, the auto configuration process is started. The module cycles through all combinations of baud rate and parity until it
finds the combination which allows it to receive valid data. This combination is then saved and the auto configuration process ended.
If the COM16 module does not find a combination that allows it to receive valid data after cycling through all combinations, it will adopt the
original settings for baud rate and parity, and the auto configuration process will be ended.
The time required to complete the auto configuration process can be several seconds depending on:
- Baud rate
- How often the master transmits a telegram
- The length of the messages transmitted by the master
- The number of tests required to detect a valid baud rate/parity combination

Additional functions
The metering function Plus offers two additional functions:
- two independent waveform buffers
- harmonic analysis
The two independent waveform buffers can be used to analyze the current and voltage values at the time of the event.
If the waveform buffers are programmed to "recording" (standard setting), continuous recording takes place until a previously defined event
occurs. Then, the recording is stopped, and the current or voltage waveforms at the time of the event can be observed on a visual display
(graphical LCD, laptop or PC). The time window is one second; the resolution is 1649 values/second.
The waveform buffers can also be started or stopped individually via the communication channels (PROFIBUS-DP, MODBUS,
c).
The waveform buffers can be parameterized via:
- the test socket with the BDA
-the PROFIBUS-DP
-the MODBUS
- the graphical display (ETU776)

The cmodules must only be connected to each other and to the circuit breaker using the pre-assembled cables supplied.
These cables are also used for the 24 V DC voltage supply of the cmodules.
If more than two cmodules are connected, the 24 V DC voltage supply must be fed via a separate cable from module to module.
Only one cmodule can be connected directly to a circuit breaker. Further modules must be connected from module to module.
Radial cables are not permissible.
If provided, the ZSI module is always the first module, and must be connected directly to the circuit breaker.
The ccable must be connected to the X3 connection of the last module with a 120 0.5 W resistor.
The total length of the ccables must not exceed 30 ft from auxiliary current plug X8 of the circuit breaker to the last
cmodule.

9.2.3.2 ZSI module
Function
When circuit breakers are combined with ZSI modules, a short-circuit occurring in systems with several grading levels can be precisely
localized.
For this purpose, all circuit breakers are interconnected via their ZSI modules.
When a short-circuit or ground-fault occurs, each circuit breaker affected by the short-circuit current queries its downstream circuit breaker
to determine whether the short-circuit is present in the next downstream device. Only the circuit breaker nearest the short-circuit, in the
upstream direction, is tripped. If "S" or "S+G" is selected on the ZSI module and the circuit breaker does not receive a blocking signal -
ZSI-IN - from its downstream circuit breaker, in the event of short-circuit, the delay time setting for the short-circuit trip is set to 50 ms. If a
short-circuit is detected, a blocking signal - ZSI-OUT - will be sent to the upstream circuit breakers. The trip takes place after 50 ms. It
typically delays between 80 and 90 ms.
If "S" or "S+G" is selected on the ZSI module and the circuit breaker does not receive a blocking signal - ZSI-IN - from its downstream circuit
breaker, in the event of ground-fault, the delay time setting for the ground-fault trip is set to 100 ms.
If a ground-fault is detected, a blocking signal - ZSI-OUT - will be sent to the upstream circuit breakers. The trip takes place after 100 ms.
It typically delays between 130 and 140 ms.
After a maximum delay time of 3 s, a given blocking signal ZSI-OUT is terminated.
Installation
(page 9-79)
Connection
Connection setup (page 9-79)
Only one ZSI module can be connected per circuit breaker.
If the ZSI module is used together with other cmodules, the ZSI module must be connected directly to the COM15 module or
hand plug X8.

Terminal assignment
Observe the specified polarity when connecting: plus to plus and minus to minus.
The maximum wire length of the ZSI wiring is 400 m for a wire diameter of AWG 18 (2-wire conductor).
For ZSI connections between only WL circuit breakers, wire lengths of up to 1000 m are permissible if the conductor diameter is increased
to AWG 13.
The ZSI connections must consist of twisted pair cables or shielded cables.
The ZSI module allows connection of up to:
- 8 circuit breakers at the ZSI IN input and
- 20 circuit breakers at the ZSI OUT output
Terminal Connection

9.2.3.3 Digital input module
Function
With the digital input module, up to 6 additional binary signals (DC 24 V) can be connected to the system.
These input signals are transferred to the PROFIBUS-DP / MODBUS via the c, and can be evaluated accordingly.

tection parameters (if provided).

9.3 External voltage supply
The basic protective functions (L, S, I, & G) of the electronic trip units do not require an auxiliary power supply.
To use the extended functions of trip units ETU745 - 776 requiring data exchange via the c, an external 24 V DC (class 2) voltage
supply must be connected.
Connection
Version A: Connection to hand plug X8 (preferred version)
Version B: Connection to any cmodule
Requirements
The external voltage supply with 24 V DC must fulfill at least the requirements of UL class 2.
To supply power to a circuit breaker equipped with the maximum possible number of external cmodules, one of the Siemens
power supply units listed below can be used. If a second circuit breaker is to be supplied, a second power supply unit is also required.
The external power supply used for electronic components must not be used to supply the motor-operated mechanism.
When using voltage supply units from other manufacturers, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
- Primary-switched-mode power supply unit
-24 V DC, ± 3 %
- Current rating: 2.5 A per circuit breaker maximum possible number of external cmodules or 3.8 A for two circuit
breakers with the maximum possible number of external cmodules.

9.4 Breaker Data Adapter
9.4.1 Application
The Breaker Data Adapter (BDA) makes it possible to parameterize, operate and monitor the circuit breaker without additional software by
means of a browser-capable input/output device (e.g. a laptop). This is possible for circuit breakers equipped with trip units of the types
ETU745 - 776. On trip units ETU745 and ETU748, however, the basic protective functions cannot be parameterized. These are adjusted
solely by using the rotary coding switches.
Communication with the electronic system of the circuit breaker takes place via the c. For this purpose, the BDA can be option-
ally connected to the test socket of the trip unit, or - in case of longer stationary operation - to the last cmodule, and snapped onto
a 35-mm DIN rail. The required connection cables are supplied with the unit.

The status test can be repeated any time by pressing the "START" button for at least three seconds.
It is also possible to test a trip unit that is already activated, i.e. one that is supplied by an external voltage source. However, it must be taken
into account that the "ETU STATUS" LED may briefly flash twice when the status test result is displayed, even if there have not been any
faults. As a precaution, the status test should be repeated without external voltage supply.

Ground-fault tripping test
The ground-fault tripping function and the trip unit circuitry of ETU types 745-746 with an installed ground-fault protection module (with trip-
ping function WLGFM48 or WLGFM76) can be tested using the test device. The current sensor for the neutral conductor (page 9-92) and/or
the iron-core ground-fault sensor (page 9-45) must be attached.
1Charge the circuit breaker
2Close the circuit breaker
3Press the [G] button
The circuit breaker will trip after the set ground-fault tripping delay time, plus approx. 2 seconds processing time, has elapsed. If the test
device has completed a test without faults, the "ETU STATUS" LED will light up continuously green. If a fault is detected, the LED will flash.
The type of flashing indicates what type of fault is present (fault codes are listed on page 9-104).
Testing the measured value display
This function works by inputting a signal into the trip unit. The signal is displayed as a single-phase current on the trip unit's display, and the
current's measured value is also transmitted via the communication interface to the connected CublicleBUS modules and the connected
MODBUS / PROFIBUS-DP networks.
This feature only works with an integrated display (WLETU745 with WLLCD748, WLETU748 with WLLCD748, WLETU776), and communi-
cates test signals when a communication interface and/or a CublicleBUS module is installed on the trip unit.This feature does not work when
a MeteringPLUS (WLMETERP) module is installed.
1Connect 24 V DC to power the trip unit.
2Press the [I] and [N] buttons simultaneously
A single-phase test signal is fed into the trip unit, which simulates a single-phase load current for the ETU. The local display, the connected
communications and connected CublicleBUS modules output this current value. The test signal will specify the simulated value to the first
phase for 30 seconds, before switching to the next phase. The cycle runs in the order L1, L2, L3, N, G. The test cycle is completed when all
phases have been tested.
Activation the trip unit
To activate the trip unit, press the "N" and "G" buttons simultaneously.
The trip unit will remain activated until another button on the handheld test device (WLTS) is depressed.
With this function, the "T.U.-Error"-LED can be checked if the status test had finished with the error "Trip unit defective".

WL circuit breakers are normally configured to be immediately ready to close again following a trip. With the automatic reset of the Bell
Alarm, the tripping solenoid is automatic resetting after the trip unit has tripped. The circuit breaker is immediately ready to close again. For
confirmation, the tripped indicator must be reset, either manually on the trip unit or via the remote reset solenoid.
When the WL breaker is configured with option WLNOAUTRSET, the tripping coil must be manually reset before the circuit breaker is
capable of closing. The following instruction details the resetting of the Bell Alarm, and the tripping coil.

12.8 Mechanism Operated Contacts (MOC)
The circuit breaker may be equipped with an external auxiliary switch assembly. These external auxiliary switches are known as
Mechanism Operated Contacts. In short, the assembly is also referred to as the MOC.
The MOC assembly is mounted within the circuit breaker compartment (cradle) and is connected to the main breaker-driveshaft
via a coupler, which is added to the circuit breaker during the MOC installation.
The circuit breaker, itself, may be optionally ordered with either no internal auxiliary switches, a set of four internal auxiliary
switches (2 a + 2 b contacts), or eight internal auxiliary switches (4 a + 4 b contacts).
With the addition of a MOC device, an additional eight auxiliary switches (4 a + 4 b contacts) may be added to a circuit breaker.
Note referencing ANSI C37.100:
“a” contact: A secondary contact that is open when the circuit breaker is open, and closed when the circuit breaker is closed
“b” contact: A secondary contact that is closed when the circuit breaker is open, and open when the circuit breaker is closed

12.8.1 MOC Versions
The MOC device may be ordered in two versions for drawout circuit breakers:
The auxiliary contacts, in the “Connect Only” version of the MOC, only change state when the circuit breaker is opened/closed while it
is in the “CONNECTED” position within the circuit breaker compartment. There are two distinct models of the “Connect Only” MOC, one
for circuit breaker frame size 2 (WLMOCC) and a second for circuit breaker frame size 3 (WLMOCC3).
The second version is known as the “Test and Connect” version. In the “Test and Connect” version, the auxiliary contacts change state
when the circuit breaker is opened/closed while it is in the “TEST” or “CONNECTED” positions within the circuit breaker compartment.
Like the “Connect Only” version, there are two distinct models of the “connect only” MOC, one for circuit breaker frame size 2 (WLMOC)
and a second for circuit breaker frame size 3 (WLMOC3).
12.8.2 MOC Installation Instructions
There are two MOC versions available: with and without a driver for the test position. The version with only one drive is generally used for
fixed-mounted circuit breakers.
- OPEN the circuit breaker and discharge the closing spring (page 24-2)
- Remove circuit breaker from cradle (page 24-3)
12.8.2.1 Installing the coupler
In order to interface the MOC assembly (mounted in the circuit breaker compartment), the circuit breaker must be outfitted with a
coupler (see Figure 1).
In order to install the coupler, the clear plastic plug in the sidewall of the circuit breaker (see Figure 2) must first be removed.
Facing the breaker, the plug is on right sidewall. This is easily accomplished by levering with a small screwdriver.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause death, serious personal injury, or equipment damage.
Turn off and lock out all power supplying this device before working on this device.
Figure 1
Figure 2
12 – 9
The coupler snaps onto the end of the steel mainshaft. The steel band should not be removed when installing the coupler. Also ensure
that the coupler is oriented properly when installed. Figure 3 illustrates the proper installed orientation of a shaft extension (circuit breaker
shown in the OPEN position), with the tampered flange facing the rear of the circuit breaker..
NOTE
The tapered flange of the coupler must point towards the rear side of the circuit breaker.

Note
The following maintenance points must be followed:
1The adjustment of the Bowden cables needs to be checked after the first 100 switching operations and must be readjusted if
necessary.
2The adjustment of the interlocking device needs to be checked and, if necessary, readjusted every 1000 operations or at least
once every year.
3During the inspection, the Bowden cables have to be checked against kinks and abrasions, split wires of the exposed
steel cable, damage to the cable housing and the adjustment unit (tube setting with thread and nut) and have to be readjusted
if necessary. In addition, the movability of movable parts of the interlocking device in their bearings needs to be examined.
4In extreme environmental conditions (e.g. increased environmental temperature or exposure to chemicals) maintenance checks
needs to be performed more frequently.
5When maintaining the circuit breaker, check the operation of the interlock device and replace as necessary. See table (page -14).

24.3 Checking arc chutes
It is recommended that the arc chutes be inspected on a regular basis.The arc splitter plates erode as the result of load breaking. This
constitutes normal wear. The erosion of the arc splitter plates can manifest itself as wear of the plates, a layer of soot, or small spots of
collections of molten metal. In case of heavy wear (severe erosion, large deposits of molten metal, etc), the circuit breaker should be
replaced.
- OPEN the circuit breaker and discharge the closing spring (page 24-2)
- Move the circuit breaker into the withdrawn position in the cradle (page 24-3)

Extended Instantaneous Protection (EIP) allows the WL circuit breaker to be applied at the withstand rating of
the circuit breaker with minus 0% tolerance; this means there is no instantaneous override at all. EIP further
enables the circuit breaker to be applied up to the full instantaneous rating of the circuit breaker in systems
where the available fault current exceeds the withstand rating.
Ground Fault Module cannot be removed after installation.

27 Glossary
Automatic reset
Circuit breakers feature an automatic reset of the tripping solenoid. No manual resetting of the Trip Unit is required to
place the circuit breaker in a ready-to-close state. UL 1066 and UL 489 circuit breakers are factory-fitted with this automatic reset feature as
standard.
The automatic reset feature can be removed as a customer option.
Auxiliary releases
Both undervoltage releases and shunt trips are available.
BSS module
Breaker Status Sensor - for collecting circuit breaker status information via signaling switches and transmitting these data to the
c.
Closing coil
A coil used for electrically closing the circuit breaker.
Closing spring
Module containing a spring as an energy store. The spring is charged by means of a hand-operated lever or a motor, and is latched in its
charged state. When the latches are released, the stored energy is transmitted to the pole and the circuit breaker closes.
Coding of auxiliary connectors
The auxiliary connectors are coded to prevent accidental interchanging of the auxiliary wiring connections.
COM15/COM16 Module
Communications module
Interface adapter for:
- converting c signals to PROFIBUS-DP / MODBUS signals and vice-versa
- providing three potential-free outputs for control functions (OPEN, CLOSE, 1 freely available)
- one input, freely usable for control information from the switchgear.
Additional function for draw-out circuit breakers:
- detecting the circuit breaker position in the cradle by means of signaling switches S 46, S 47 and S 48.
c
Bus system in the vicinity of the circuit breaker and to the FieldBus (PROFIBUS-DP / MODBUS)
Electrical closing lockout
For electrical interlocking of two or more circuit breakers (closing interlock). The electrical closing lockout can block the circuit breaker from
closing via a sustained signal.
Electrical Closed
Electrical activation of the stored energy through the closing coil.
Guide rail
Used for placing the circuit breaker in the cradle.
Finger clusters
Connect the main terminals of the circuit breaker with the main terminals of the cradle.
Mechanical reclosing lockout and Bell Alarm
After tripping, the circuit breaker cannot be reclosed until the mechanical reclosing lockout has been reset by hand.
Mechanism Operated Auxiliary Contacts (MOC)
A switching module for signaling the circuit breakers switch position, which is mounted in the cradle and activated by the actuating shaft of
the circuit breaker.

Motor-operated mechanism
The geared motor charges the closing spring automatically as soon as voltage is applied to the auxiliary connections. After closing,
the closing spring is automatically charged for the next closing operation.
Position indicator
To show the circuit breaker position in the cradle.
Rating plug
This module defines e.g. the setting range of the overload protection.
Remote reset
The electrical signal of the tripped signaling switch and the red reset button are reset by the optional remote reset solenoid.
Shunt trip
For remote circuit breaker tripping and locking against closing.
Shutter
Shutters are insulation plates for covering live main circuits in the cradle (shock protection).
Signaling switch for circuit breaker position (TOC)
These auxiliary switches operate according to the circuit breaker position in the cradle (-> Truck-operated contact).
Spring charging lever
The closing spring is charged by several pumping operations.
Energy transformer
Power supply for the trip unit.
Tool operation
A cover with a hole (Ø 0,25") means that buttons can only be pressed using a rod.
TOC - Truck operated Cell Switch
For remote signaling of the circuit breaker position in the cradle.
Truck-operated contact (TOC)
A circuit breaker truck-operated auxiliary switch which is mounted in the compartment of a removable circuit breaker and is operated by the
circuit breaker frame (-> Signaling switch for breaker position).
Undervoltage release
For remote tripping and interlocking of the circuit breaker. Circuit breaker application in EMERGENCY OPEN circuits together with an
EMERGENCY OPEN facility to be arranged separately. The circuit breaker shall not be tripped by short-time voltage drops (e.g. motor start-
up).
Undervoltage release (time delayed)
For remote tripping and interlocking of the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker shall not be tripped by voltage drops (e.g. system transfers).
