The optimized interplay of all functions creates benefits for everyone involved in the project: the building contractors, the users and building operators, the consulting engineers and, last but not least, the installation company.
components such as medium-voltage switchgear, transformers, low-voltage switchgear and low-voltage distribution boards to the power consumer. Costs, whether for new systems or extensions, are always transparent and controllable. The majority of the electrical power consumers belongs to the facilities for supply management, in particular those for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, drinking water supply and lighting. The latter is to be seen in a functional relation to integrated room automation, including sun protection, daylight control technologies and motion detection (i.e. presence of persons in a building). Air conditioning technology is in a functional relation to smoke detection and fire alarm systems. Safe power supply must be ensured for all operating modes.
Totally Integrated Power, a concept which offers electrical consultants and installation companies integrated and coordinated power distribution, from medium voltage to low voltage with load feeder right down to the final outlet – the best foundation for quick and easy planning. Integrated project planning combines individual

Advantage: operators can optimize their installations in terms of maintenance expense, power consumption and availability. Of course, you expect the optimum solution for every investment you make, and it is only natural that system costs are increasingly being determined by operating costs. But what people are often not aware of is the fact that data networks and the data they generate can be used to achieve the optimization of electrical power distribution processes. Electrical power supply is the fundamental basis of all processes and control procedures, and most of the things we take for granted today would not function without electrical energy. This is why it is important to make use of information networking in the field of electrical power distribution. Siemens can implement this because we are completely at home in this field. Totally Integrated Power offers electrical power distribution for all functions in a building: heating, ventilation, air conditioning, production and manufacturing processes, and information technology with clearly defined communication interfaces. This ensures reliable power supply, safe working conditions, appropriate sizing, transparent system status and consumption-based cost structures.

DESIGO RX integrated room automation comprises application-specific devices and functions for zone or single-room control. This includes an integrated monitoring, control and optimization of room-related building equipment which is interconnected through their communication functions. DESIGO PX ensures that the operation of the building, i.e. of its technical installations, is performed in a safe, ecological and economically optimized manner which is also a lowexpense mode of operation. The building automation and control system reliably implements control strategies regarding HVAC. It has been optimized for the performance of operating time optimization, maximum-load limiting and the calculation of enthalpy and heating curves. It informs the operator about trends and present and previous operating states. The building automation and control system provides the data required for operating cost controlling and the documentation of an ecological audit system. It is possible to demonstrate no-fault operation. Technical equipment data and statistics which are relevant for maintenance are made available through the building automation and control system. It can also be employed as a tool for management tasks such as analysis, adjustment and continuous optimization of the modes of operation.

Introduction
1.2 Life Safety and Security Management While building automation mainly deals with the data of HVAC and electrical subsystems, which create the basis for process optimization, the information rendered by protective and security installations is often vitally important. Life safety and security management means the limitation and containment of a multitude of risks and encompasses taking rigorous action against the most diverse hazardous events that might occur. This guarantees the protection of human life and property and the maintenance of operations within a building. The main task of life safety and security management is the easy and safe handling of critical alarms and events. The purpose is to fight hazards immediately and with the most suitable means to prevent greater damage. Life safety and security management is typically associated with the specific tasks of security systems. It must, however, be extended to any potential hazard that may be inherent in any other technical installation. Examples are for instance the temperature and humidity limits in museums, critical faults in the power distribution system of a hospital, elevator alarms, etc.
Differences from the user's point of view Control and optimization One aspect is the control and optimization of the performance of technical building installations to supply both the technical conditions for which buildings have been designed and to ensure their users' productivity by providing appropriate ambient conditions. Operator tasks are only carried out under high time pressure and psychological stress in the event of a fault, as they normally deal with longterm trends and system performance analyses. Such management functions do not require any permanent support in commercial and industrial buildings. Those who operate these functions need adaptive graphic displays that facilitate the user's intuitive orientation and enable actions to be performed which are typical for monitoring a complex system. A good operator interface provides a broad range of options with functions for generating status reports and user-specific statistics and data views.
Operators of life safety and security management systems need simple, guided operator interfaces with restricted choices of action to be able to respond fast, safely and efficiently even in a panic situation. Support from Siemens Total Building Solutions by Siemens focus on the performance of the tasks detailed above and the surplus value to be gained by the customer. The type of building control defines both the complexity of the building automation and control system and its life safety and security management, and the structure of the organizations involved in its operation. Total Building Solutions enables product and service offers to be adapted to real customer needs, thus optimizing benefits for the user. Detailed descriptions of the available building solutions can be obtained at: www.sbt.siemens.de
Signaling and alarms The other – often crucial – aspect deals with sudden system malfunctions. Normally, those events do not represent any hazard to the building or its users. In some cases, however, human life, infrastructure elements or manufacturing processes might be put at risk. The treatment of those cases is the objective of life safety and security management. It means the limitation and control of various hazards in the building and a rigorous treatment of different potential emergency cases in a building.

Framework parameter analysis:
Totally Integrated Power comprises products, systems and services from Siemens for a homogenous implementation concept for power distribution from a medium-voltage switchgear station to the transformer and from there to the floor distribution board or final circuit. With Totally Integrated Power, Siemens responds to customer requirements, such as C Simplification of operational management by transparent, simple power system structures C Low power loss costs, e.g. by medium-voltage-side power transmission to the load centers C High supply and operational safety of the installations even in the event of individual equipment failures (redundant supply, selectivity of the power system protection, and high availability) C Easy adaptation to changing load and operational conditions C Low operating cost thanks to equipment that is easy to maintain C Sufficient transmission capacity of the equipment under normal operating conditions as well as in fault conditions to be handled

C Good quality of the power supply, i.e. few voltage changes due to load fluctuations with sufficient voltage symmetry and few harmonic distortions in the voltage C Compliance with IEC/EN/VDE specifications and project-related stipulations for special installations The efficiency of a power supply system rises and falls with good planning. For this reason, power supply concepts must always be evaluated in the context of their framework parameters and project goals. When focusing on power supply in the field of building infrastructure, the spectrum of reasonable options can be narrowed down.

2.1.1 Requirements on Electrical Power Systems in Buildings When planning electrical power systems, the largely ambivalent requirements of the three project stages, Investment – Installation – Operation, must be taken into consideration. Further influencing factors The main characteristics of a power system are determined by the following requirements: C Use/consumers or purpose of power distribution, i.e. energy balance, power density and load centers C Architecture, e.g. low building or high-rise building C Operating and environmental conditions C Legal provisions, stipulations by public authorities, e.g. building authorities, safety at work regulations C By the supplying public utilities company – Technical specifications regarding voltage, short-circuit power, agreed maximum connected load, permissible equipment – Use of power management to operate the power system economically within the agreed electric rates options.

Interdependencies of national, regional and international standards for electrical engineering
Standards To minimize technical risks and/or to protect persons involved in handling electric equipment or components, major planning rules have been compiled in standards. Technical standards are desired conditions stipulated by professional associations which are however made binding by legal standards such as safety at work regulations. Furthermore, the compliance to technical standards is crucial for any approval of operation granted by authorities or insurance coverage.
now been agreed upon that drafts shall be submitted at the central (IEC) level and then be adopted as regional or national standards. Only provided that IEC is not interested in dealing with the matter or, if there are any time constraints, a standard shall be drafted regionally.
An optimum configuration should particularly meet the following requirements: C Simple structure C High reliability of supply C Low losses C Favorable and flexible expansion options The following characteristics shall be selected accordingly: C Type of meshing C Number of feeder points C Type of feed Meshing Low-voltage-side power distribution shall preferably be designed in a radial topology. The clearly hierarchical structuring offers the following advantages: C Easy monitoring of the power system C Fast fault location C Simple power system protection C Easy operation
The interrelation of the different standardization levels is illustrated in Fig. 2/2. A complete list of IEC members and links to more detailed information can be obtained at www.iec.ch q structure & management q iec members.

As the operation of a meshed system places high demands on the equipment, the radial system is generally preferred at the infrastructure level for economical reasons. Ring-type systems are mainly used in highly consumptive industrial processes in
combination with high-current busbar trunking systems, as these systems have the advantage of safe and flexible supply for the consumers. They are also used for public supply systems at the > 1 kV level.
Number of feeder points The availability of the radial power system can be optimized by means of its infeed configuration. Fig. 2/3 shows an optimization of the radial network assuming one fault in the infeed.

and 4-pole switching devices may be used. If N conductors with reduced cross sections are used (we do not recommend this), a protective device with an integrated overload protection should be used at the N conductor (example: LSIN).
Fig. 2/5 EMC-friendly power system, centrally installed (short distances)
The advantage of a TN-S system lies in the fact that the short-circuit current generated in the event of a fault is not fed back to the voltage source via a connection to ground but via a conductor. The comparatively high 1-pole ground fault current enables rather simple protective devices to be used, such as fuses or circuit-breakers tripping in the event of a fault.
When TN-S systems are used, residual currents in the building can be avoided because current flows back via a separate N conductor. Magnetic fields depend on the geometrical arrangement of the connections.
As according to IEC 60364-5-54, a TN-S system is only permissible in a central arrangement of the feed system, we recommend to always use the TN-C-S system as shown in Fig. 2/5. In case of distributed infeed, 4-pole switching/protective devices must be provided at the infeeds and changeover equipment (parallel operation inhibited).

– Downtime after fault – Reduces selective tripping in connection with circuit-breakers – Fuse ageing – Separate protection of personnel required for switching high currents C Fuseless technology + Clear tripping times for overload and short circuit + Safe switching of operating and fault currents + Fast resumption of normal operation after fault trip + Various tripping methods adapted to the protective task + Communications-capable: signaling of system states – Coordination of the protection concept requires a calculation of short circuits – Higher investment costs
Above all when fuseless technology is employed, the selection of the tripping unit is crucial for meeting the defined objectives for protection.
Q1
In power systems for buildings, selective tripping is gaining more and more importance, as this results in a higher supply safety and quality. While standards such as DIN VDE 0100 Part 710 or DIN VDE 0108 demand a selective behavior of the protective equipment for safety power supply or certain areas of indoor installations, the proportion of buildings where selective tripping is also desired for the general power supply is rising.
Fig. 2/8 Selective tripping
Generally speaking, a combined solution using selective and partially selective network sections will be applied in power systems for buildings when economic aspects are considered.
Q2
In this context, the following device properties must be taken into account: Current limiting: A protective device has a current-limiting effect if it shows a lower letthrough current in the event of a fault than the prospective short-circuit current at the fault location. Selectivity: When series-connected protective devices cooperate for graded tripping, the protective device which is closest upstream of the fault location must trip first. The other upstream devices remain in operation. The temporal and spatial effects of a fault will be limited to a minimum.

Back-up protection: The provision is that Q1 is a currentlimiting device. If the fault current is higher than the rated breaking capacity of the downstream device in the event of a line shorting, it will be protected by the upstream protective device. Q2 can be selected with Icu Ikmax, Q2. This results in partial selectivity.

Grading for a supply section of 800 kVA
Grading in the supply section Starting from the smallest supply unit in a building, e.g. a household or a shop, different protective devices are preferably suited to meet the requirements of power supply and protection. TIP: If an 800 kVA supply section is fed by a transformer and if selective tripping is a major requirement, a circuit-breaker with definite-time overcurrent-time protection must also be selected for the medium-voltage system. For more detailed information in particular regarding the tripping characteristics, please refer to C Chapter 3 Power System Protection and Safety Coordination C Chapter 4 Medium Voltage C Chapter 6 Low Voltage in the Application Manual. Power requirements The power requirements of the entire distribution largely determine the layout of the main distribution as well as the transformer and/or generator rating. This equipment then determines the amount of investment involved.

For building power supplies, economical transformer outputs are between 630 and 1,000 kVA. Table 2/5 shows useful constellations for transformers connected in parallel per supply section. Higher outputs must therefore be divided into several (>2) separate supply sections to gain manageable power system data and hence economical solutions.

3 System Protection and Safety Coordination System configuration While in building and industrial power systems star-type system configurations are normally used for medium voltage, radial system configurations are normally preferred for the lowvoltage side (radial systems, double spur systems). A number of switchgear stations and distribution boards are required for distributing power from the infeed to the load. The protective equipment of these devices is connected in series. Objectives of system protection The objective of system protection is to detect faults and to selectively isolate faulted parts of the system. It must also permit short clearance times to limit the fault power and the effect of arcing faults. High power density, high individual power outputs, and the relatively short distances in industrial and building power systems mean that lowvoltage and medium-voltage systems are closely linked. Activities in the LV system (short circuits, starting currents) also have an effect on the MV system. If the situation is reversed, the control state of the MV system affects the selectivity criteria in the secondary power system. Mutual system interference It is therefore necessary to adjust the power system and its protection throughout the entire distribution system and to coordinate the protective functions. This chapter basically comprises the installation of electrical equipment in LV systems. Therefore, also when dealing with network protection, the emphasis lies on the low-voltage side. Specific network protection re-

quirements for medium voltage are dealt with in Chapter 4 “Medium Voltage” and in Chapter 8 ”Substation Control and Protection Systems”.
3.1 Definitions Electrical installations in a power system are protected either by protective equipment allocated to the installation components or by combinations of these protective elements. Rated short-circuit breaking capacity The rated short-circuit breaking capacity is the maximum value of the short circuit that the protective device is able to clear according to specifications. The protective device may be used in power systems for rated switching capacities up to this value. Back-up protection If a short circuit, which is higher than the rated switching capacity of the protective device used, occurs at a particular point in the system, back-up protection must provide protection for the downstream installation component and for the protection device by means of an upstream protective device (grading). Selectivity Selectivity, in particular, has become a topic for discussion in the previous years. Partly, it has become a general requirement in tender specifications. Due to the complexity of this issue, information about proper selection and application is often insufficient. These requirements as well as the effects of full or partial selectivity in power distribution systems within the context of the relevant standard, industry, country, system configuration or structure should be clarified in
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
advance with the network planners, installation companies and system operators involved. The system interconnection together with the 5 rules of circuit dimensioning must also be taken into account. Some terms and definitions shall be described in this chapter for a better understanding of the issue. If you wish to obtain more detailed information regarding further applications, please contact your Siemens representative. Full selectivity To maintain the supply safety of power distribution systems, full selectivity is increasingly demanded. A power system is considered fully selective, if only the protective device upstream of the fault location disconnects from supply, as seen in the direction of energy flow (from the infeed to the load). Note: Full selectivity always refers to a dead, three-phase, i.e. maximum, fault current at the mounting location. Partial selectivity In certain situations, partial selectivity (up to a particular short-circuit current) is sufficient. The probability of faults occurring and the effects of these on the load must then be considered for unfavorable scenarios.
1) For descriptions and modes of operation of low-voltage protection devices, controlgear and switchgear, please also refer to the Siemens handbook ”Switching, Protection and Distribution in Low-Voltage Networks”, published by Publicis MCD, Erlangen.

3.1.1 Protective Equipment and Features Low-voltage protective devices1) Low-voltage high-rupturingcapacity fuses Low-voltage high-rupturing-capacity (LV HRC) fuses have a high breaking capacity. They fuse quickly to restrict the peak short-circuit current to the utmost degree. The protective characteristic is determined by the selected utilization category of the LV HRC fuse (e. g. full-range fuse for overload and short-circuit protection, or partial range fuse for short-circuit protection only) and the rated current (Fig. 3/1). Low-voltage circuit-breakers, IEC 60947-2 Circuit-breakers for power distribution systems are distinguished according to their type design (open or compact design), mounting type (fixed mounting, plug-in, withdrawable), rated current (maximum nominal current of the switch) method of operation (current limiting: MCCB; or non-current-limiting: ACB), protective functions (see releases), communication capability (capability to transmit data to and from the switch), utilization category (A or B, see IEC 609472). Releases / protective functions The protective function of the circuitbreaker in the power distribution system is determined by the selection of

the appropriate release. Releases can be divided into thermo-magnetic releases (previously also called electromechanical releases) and electronic tripping units (ETU). C Overload protection Designation: “L” or earlier “a” (“L” for long-time delay). Depending on the type of release, inverse time-delay overload releases are also available with optional characteristic curves. C Short-circuit protection, instantaneous Designation: “I “ (previously also called ”n” release), e.g. solenoid releases. Depending on the application, I-releases are also offered with a fixed settable or OFF function. C Short-circuit protection, with delay Designation: “S”, previously also “z” release (“S” for short-time delay). For a temporal adjustment of protective functions in series connections. Besides the standard curves and settings, there are also optional functions for special applications. Definite-time-delay overcurrent releases: For this “standard S-function,” the desired delay time tsd is set to a definite value when a set current value (limit-value Isd) is exceeded (definite time; similar to the DMT function in medium voltage) Inverse-time-delay overcurrent release: For this optional S-function applies I 2 t = constant. This function
is generally used to ensure a higher degree of selectivity (inverse time; similar to the inverse-time delay function in medium voltage) C Ground fault protection Designation: ”G” (previously also called ”g” release). Besides the standard function (definite-time), there is also an optional function (I 2 t = inverse-time delay). C Fault current protection Designation: RCD (= residual current device). To detect differential fault currents up to 3 A, similar to the RCCB function for the protection of persons (up to 500 mA). In addition, electronic releases also permit new tripping criteria which are not possible with electromechanical releases. Protective characteristics The protective characteristic curve is determined by the rated circuitbreaker current as well as the setting and the operating values of the releases (see Table 3/5). Low-voltage miniature circuitbreakers (MCB) Miniature circuit-breakers are distinguished according to their method of operation – either high or low current limiting. Their protective functions are determined by electromechanical releases:

Releases C Overload protection by means of inverse time-delayed overload releases, e.g. bimetallic releases C Short-circuit protection by means of instantaneous overload releases, e.g. solenoid releases. Medium-voltage protection equipment High-voltage high-breakingcapacity fuses High-voltage high-breaking-capacity (HV HRC) fuses can only be used for short-circuit protection. They do not provide any overload protection. A minimum short-circuit current is therefore required for correct operation. HV HRC fuses restrict the peak short-circuit current. The protective characteristic is determined by the selected rated current (Fig. 3/2). Medium-voltage circuit-breakers Circuit-breakers can provide timeovercurrent protection (definite and inverse), time-overcurrent protection with additional directional function or differential protection. Distance protection is rarely used in the distribution systems described here. Protective characteristics Secondary relays, whose characteristic curves are also determined by the actual current transformation ratio, are normally used as protective devices in medium-voltage systems. Static numerical protection devices are increasingly preferred.
3.1.2 Low-Voltage Protection Equipment Assemblies Protection equipment assemblies With series-connected distribution boards, it is possible to arrange the following protective devices in series (relative to the direction of power flow): C Fuse with downstream fuse
3/4
C Circuit-breaker with downstream miniature circuit-breaker C Circuit-breaker with downstream fuse C Fuse with downstream circuit-breaker C Fuse with downstream miniature circuit-breaker C Several parallel infeeds with or without coupler units with downstream circuit-breaker or downstream fuse Current selectivity must be verified in the case of meshed LV systems. The high- and low-voltage protection for the transformers feeding power to the LV system must be harmonized and adjusted to the additional protection of the secondary power system. Appropriate checks must be carried out to determine the effects on the primary MV system. In MV systems, HV HRC fuses are normally only installed upstream of the transformers in the LV infeed. With the upstream circuit-breakers, only time-overcurrent protection devices with different characteristics are usually connected in series. Differential protection does not affect, or only slightly influences the grading of the other protective devices.
3.1.3 Selectivity Criteria In addition to factors such as rated current and rated switching capacity, a further criterion to be considered when implementing a protection device is selectivity. Selectivity is important because it ensures optimum supply reliability. The following criteria can be applied for selective operation of series-connected protection devices: C Time difference for clearance (time grading) C Current difference for operating values (current grading)
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
C Combination of time and current grading (inverse time grading) Power direction (directional protection), impedance (distance protection) and current difference (differential protection) are also used. Requirements for the selective behavior of protective devices Protective devices can only behave selectively if both the highest and the lowest short-circuit currents for the relevant system points are known at the project planning stage. As a result: C The highest short-circuit current determines the required rated short-circuit switching capacity Icu/ Ics of the circuit-breaker. Criterion: Icu/ Ics > IKmax C The lowest short-circuit current is important for setting the overcurrent release; the operating value of this release must be less than the lowest short-circuit current at the end of the line to be protected, since only this setting of Id /Isd guarantees that the instantaneous overcurrent release can carry out its personnel and system protection functions. Note: With these settings, the admissible tolerance limit of ± 20% must be observed! Criterion: Isd ≤ IKmin – 20 % C The observance of specified tripping conditions determines the maximum conductor lengths or their cross sections. C Selective current grading is only possible if the short-circuit currents are known. C In addition to current grading, partial selectivity can be achieved using combinations of carefully matched protective devices.

Time sequence for the breaking operation of two graded LV circuit-breakers in the event of a short circuit
C The highest short-circuit current can be both the three-phase and the single-phase short-circuit current. C With infeed into LV power systems, the single-phase fault current will be greater than the threephase fault current if transformers with the Dy connection are used. C The single-phase short-circuit current will be the lowest fault current if the damping zero phase-sequence impedance of the LV cable is active. With large installations, it is advisable to determine all short-circuit currents using a special computer program. Here, our SIMARIS design® planning software comes as the optimum solution (see Chapter 12).
Grading the operating currents with time grading
Grading of the operating currents is also taken into consideration with time grading, i.e. the operating value of the overcurrent release of the upstream circuit-breaker must be at least 1.25 times the operating value of the downstream circuit-breaker. Scattering of operating currents in definite-time-delay overcurrent releases (S) is thus compensated (≤ ±10%).
Plotting the tripping characteristics of the graded protective devices in a grading diagram will help to verify and visualize selectivity.
Fig. 3/3 illustrates the individual time-related terms using two graded LV circuit-breakers as an example. Grading time, delay time
The grading time tsd is the interval required between the tripping characteristics of two series-connected protection devices to ensure correct operation of the protective device immediately upstream of the fault. The delay time to be set at the circuit-breaker tsd is obtained from the sum of the grading times.
Time sequence for circuit-breakers
When grading the operating currents, the time sequence of the breaking operation of the circuit-breakers must also be taken into consideration.

Manual preparation General notes When characteristic tripping curves are entered on log-log graph paper, the following must be observed: C To ensure positive selectivity, the tripping curves must neither cross nor touch. C With electronic inverse-time delay (long-time delay) overcurrent releases, there is only one tripping curve, as it is not affected by preloading. The selected characteristic curve must therefore be suitable for a motor or transformer at operating temperature. C With mechanical (thermal) inversetime delay overload releases (L), the characteristic curves shown in the manufacturer catalog apply for cold releases. The opening times to are reduced by up to 25% at normal operating temperatures. Tolerance range of tripping curves C The tripping curves of circuit-breakers given in the manufacturer catalogs are usually only average values and must be extended to include tolerance ranges (explicitly shown in Fig. 3/4, 3/20 and 3/24 only). C With overcurrent releases – instantaneous (I) and definite-time delayed releases (S) – the tolerance may be ±20% of the current setting (according to EN 60947-2 / IEC 60947-2 / VDE 0660 Part 101). Significant tripping times For the sake of clarity, only the delay time (td) is plotted for circuit-breakers with definite-time-delay overcurrent releases (S), and only the opening time (to) for circuit-breakers with instantaneous overcurrent releases (I).

Grading principles Delay times and operating currents are graded in the opposite direction to the flow of power, starting with the final circuit. C Without fuses, for the load breaker with the highest current setting of the overcurrent release. C With fuses, for the fused outgoing circuit from the busbars with the highest rated fuse-link current. Circuit-breakers are preferred to fuses in cases where fuse links with high rated currents do not provide selectivity vis-à-vis the definite-time-delay overcurrent release (S) of the transformer feeder circuit-breaker, or only with very long delay times tsd (400 to 500 ms). Furthermore, circuitbreakers are used where high system availability is required as they help to clear faults faster and the circuitbreakers’ releases are not subject to aging – especially with consumers with very long infeed distances. Procedure with two or more voltage levels In the case of selectivity involving two or more voltage levels (Fig. 3/39 ff.), all currents and tripping curves on the high-voltage side are converted and referred to the low-voltage side on the basis of the transformation ratio.

Low-voltage time grading
Grading and delay times Only the grading time tgt and delay time tsd are relevant for time grading between several series-connected circuit-breakers or in conjunction with LV HRC fuses (Fig. 3/5). The delay time tgt2 of breaker Q2 can be equated approximately with the grading time tgt2 ; the delay time tgt3 of breaker Q3 is calculated from the sum of the grading times tgt2 + tgt3. The resulting inaccuracies are corrected by the calculated grading margins. In the interests of simplicity, only the grading times are added. Proven grading times tgt
Series-connected circuit-breakers: Those so-called "proven grading times" are guiding values or rules of thumb. Precise information must be obtained from the device manufacturer. C Grading between two circuit-breakers with electronic overcurrent releases (Q1 and Q2) should be
about 70-80 ms C Grading between two circuit-breakers with different release types (Q2 = ETU and Q3 = TM) should be about 100 ms C For circuit-breakers with ZSI (zoneselective interlocking, i.e. short-time grading control) the grading distance has been defined as 50 ms
Irrespective of the type of S-release (mechanical or electronic), a grading time of 70 ms to 100 ms is necessary between a circuit-breaker and a downstream LV HRC fuse. Between an LV HRC fuse and a downstream circuit-breaker, a grading time tgt (safety margin) of at least 1 s must be maintained from the prearcing-time/current characteristic of the LV HRC fuse to the point at which the tripping curves L and I or S intersect, in order to allow for the scatter band of the L-release (Fig. 3/6).

Medium-voltage time grading Command time and grading time The following must be observed when determining the grading time tgt on the medium-voltage side: Once the protective device has been energized (Fig. 3/6), the set time must elapse before the device issues the tripping command to the shunt or undervoltage release of the circuitbreaker (command time tc). The release causes the circuitbreaker to open. The short-circuit current is interrupted when the arc has been extinguished. Only then does the protection system revert to the normal/rest position (release time). The grading time tgt between successive protective devices must be greater than the sum of the total clearance time tg of the breaker and the release time of the protection system.
3/8
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
Since a spread of time intervals, which depends on a number of factors, has to be expected for the protective devices (including circuitbreakers), a safety margin is incorporated in the grading time. Whereas grading times tgt of less than 400 to 300 ms are not possible with protective devices with mechanical releases, the more modern electronic and digital releases permit grading times of only 300 or 250 ms.

The protection equipment in the MV system of outgoing transformer feeders has also been listed in Table 3/2. Overcurrent protection for lines and cables Overcurrent protection devices must be used to protect lines and cables against overheating which may result from operational overloads or dead short circuits (”Electrical Installations Handbook”, Publicis MCD Verlag, Erlangen, Section 1.7). The protective switching devices and safety systems dealt with in this chapter are further described in Chapter 6.
3.2.1 Circuit-Breakers with Protective Functions Protective functions of LV circuit-breakers Circuit-breakers are used, first and foremost, for overload and short-circuit protection. In order to increase their protective functions, they can also be equipped with additional releases, e.g. for clearance with undervoltage, or with supplementary modules for detecting fault/residual currents (also see Chapter 6). The circuit-breakers are distinguished according to their protective function: C Circuit-breakers for system protection acc. to EN 60947-2/ IEC 609472/DIN VDE 0660-101 C Circuit-breakers for motor protec tion acc. to EN 60947-2/ IEC 60947-2 / DIN VDE 0660-101

Overload and overcurrent protection Tables 3/3 and 3/4 provide an overview of releases and relays in LV circuit-breakers. Table 3/5 contains the operating ranges of the overcurrent releases. According to the standards specified in Table 3/1, the operating value at which the releases trigger may deviate by ± 20% from the set value. Overcurrent releases The instantaneous electromagnetic overcurrent releases have either fixed or variable settings, whereas the electronic overcurrent releases used in Siemens circuit-breakers all have variable settings. Modules The overcurrent releases can be integrated in the circuit-breaker or supplied as separate modules for retrofitting or replacement. Possible exceptions are indicated in the manufacturer specifications. Overload releases Mechanical (thermal) inverse-time-delay overload releases (L-releases) are not always suitable for networks with a high harmonic content. Circuitbreakers with electronic overload releases must be used in such cases. Short-circuit protection with S-releases In the case of circuit-breakers with definite (short-)time-delay overcurrent releases (S) used for time-grading short-circuit protection, it should be noted that the circuit-breakers are designed for a specific maximum permissible thermal and dynamic load. If, in the event of a short circuit, the time delay results in this load to be exceeded, an I-release must also be used to ensure that the circuitbreaker is opened instantaneously with very high short-circuit currents.

manufacturer should be consulted when the release type is selected. Reclosing lockout after short-circuit tripping A number of circuit-breakers can be fitted with a mechanical and/or electrical reclosing lockout which prevents reclosing to the short-circuit after short-circuit tripping. The circuit-breaker can only be closed again after the fault has been eliminated and the lockout has been reset manually. Fault-current/residual-current protection The global importance of fault-current protection devices has grown in the field of protection technology due to the high level of protection they provide (protection of human life and property) and their extended scope of protection (alternating and pulsating current sensitivity). Apart from residual-current-operated circuit-breakers, miniature circuitbreaker assemblies, e. g. miniature circuit-breakers with fault-current tripping, are being used to an increasing extent for commercial and industrial applications.

Rated short-circuit making capacity Icm The rated short-circuit making capacity Icm is the short-circuit current which the circuit-breaker is capable of making at the rated operating voltage +10%, rated frequency and a specified power factor. It is expressed as the maximum peak value of the prospective short-circuit current, and is at least equal to the rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn , multiplied by the factor n specified in Table 3/6. Rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn The rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn is the short-circuit current which the circuit-breaker is capable of breaking at the rated operating voltage +10%, rated frequency and a specified power factor cos ϕ. It is expressed as the r.m.s. value of the alternating current component. Switching capacity category Switching capacity categories, which specify how often a circuit-breaker can switch its rated making and breaking current as well as the condition of the breaker after the specified switching cycle, are defined for circuit-breakers in EN 60947 / IEC 60947/ DIN VDE 0660 and in accordance with IEC 157-1 (Table 3/7). The rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn is based on the test sequence O-t-CO-t-CO. The rated service short-circuit breaking capacity Ics can also be specified on the basis of the shortened switching sequence O-t-CO (see Table 3/7 for explanation of O, t, and C).
Rated circuit-breaker currents The rated duty, e.g. continuous operation, intermittent operation or short-time operation, plays a decisive role in selecting the switchgear according to its rated currents. The following rated currents are distinguished according to the thermal characteristics:

It is the maximum current which can be carried during this time without the temperature limit being exceeded. The rated continuous current Iu can be carried for an unlimited time. With adjustable inverse-time-delay releases and relays, the maximum current setting is the rated continuous current Iu.

Switchgear assemblies with fuses Fuses and molded-case circuitbreakers If the prospective short-circuit current Ik exceeds the rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn of the circuitbreaker at its point of installation, the latter must be provided with upstream fuses (Fig. 3/7). Protection and operating ranges Defined protection and operating ranges are assigned to each device in the switchgear assembly. The L-release monitors overload currents, while the I-release detects short-circuit currents up to the rated short-circuit breaking capacity of the circuitbreaker. The circuit-breaker provides protection against all overcurrents up to its rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn and ensures all-pole opening and reclosing. The fuses are only responsible for short-circuit clearance with higher short-circuit currents Ik . In this case too, the circuit-breaker disconnects all-pole almost simultaneously via its I-release, triggered by the letthrough current ID of the fuse. The fuse must, therefore, be selected such that its let-through current ID is less than the rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn of the circuitbreaker.
3/16
Fuse, contactor, and thermal inverse-time-delay overload relay The contactor is used to switch the motor on and off. The overload relay protects the motor, motor supply conductors and contactor against overloading. The fuse upstream of the contactor and overload relay provides protection against short circuits. For this reason, the protection ranges and characteristics of all the components (Fig. 3/8) must be carefully coordinated with each other. The switchgear assembly comprising contactor and overload relay is referred to as a motor starter or, if a three-phase motor is started directly, a direct-on-line starter. Specifications for contactors and motor starters The standards EN 60947-4-1 / IEC 60947-4-1 / DIN VDE 0660-102 apply for contactors and motor starters up to 1,000 V for direct-online starting (with maximum voltage). When short-circuit current protection equipment is selected for switchgear assemblies, a distinction is made between various types of protection according to the permissible degree of damage as defined in EN 60947-4- / IEC 60947-4-1 / DIN VDE 0660-1021):

1) The standards EN 60 947-1 / IEC 60 947-4-1/ DIN VDE 0660-102 comprise modified descriptions for short-circuit behavior as follows: Coordination type ”1”: Destruction of contactor and overload relay are permissible. The contactor and/or over load relay must be replaced if necessary. Coordination type ”2”: The overload relay must not be damaged. Contact welding at the contactor is, however, permissible, given the contacts can easily be separated or the contactor can easily be replaced.

Safety margins for reliable short-circuit protection
Switchgear assembly comprising fuse, contactor, and thermal inverse-time-delay overload relay
The fuses in this assembly must satisfy a number of conditions: C The time-current characteristics of fuses and overload relays must allow the motor to be run up to speed. C The fuses must protect the overload relay from being destroyed by currents approximately 10 times higher than the rated current of the relay. C The fuses must interrupt overcurrents beyond the capability of the contactor (Ie currents approximately 10 times higher than the rated operating current Ie of the contactor). C In the event of a short circuit, the fuses must protect the contactor to such an extent that any damage does not exceed the specified degrees of damage mentioned above (depending on the rated operating current Ie, contactors must be able to withstand motor start-up currents of between 8 and 12 Ie without the contacts being welded). To satisfy these conditions, the following safety margins A, B and C must be maintained between certain characteristic curves of the devices:
Protection of overload relay In order to protect the overload relay, the prearcing-time/current characteristic of the fuse (an LV HRC switchgear fuse of utilization category aM was used in this example; refer to the following section ”Selecting fuses”) must lie in margin A below the intersection of the tripping curve of the overload relay (1) with its destruction curve (2). Protection of contactor In order to protect the contactor against excessively high breaking currents, the prearcing-time/current characteristic curve of the fuse, starting from the current value which corresponds to the breaking capacity of the contactor (3), must lie in margin B below the tripping characteristic of the overload relay (1). In order to protect the contactor against contact welding, time-current characteristic curves can be specified for each contactor indicating which load currents can be applied as maximum currents so that C contact welding is avoided, or else C welded contacts can easily be separated (characteristic curve 4 in Fig. 3/8).
Therefore, in both cases, the fuse must respond in good time. The total clearance time characteristic of the fuse (6) must lie in margin C below the characteristic curve of the contactor for easily separable contact welding (4) (total clearance time = prearcing time + extinction time). Selecting fuses LV HRC switchgear fuses Fuses for motor starters are selected according to the aforementioned criteria. Compared with LV HRC fuses of utilization category gL used to protect lines and cables, LV HRC switchgear fuses of utilization category aM provide the advantage of weld-free short-circuit protection for the maximum motor power which the contactor is capable of switching. Owing to their more effective current limiting abilities (as compared with those of line-protection fuses), they are very effective in relieving contactors of high peak short-circuit currents ip since they respond more rapidly in the upper short-circuit range as shown in Fig. 3/9. It is therefore preferable to use switchgear fuses rather than lineprotection fuses with relay settings > 80 A at higher operating currents with correspondingly lower shortcircuit current attenuation. Table 3/9 shows the classification of the fuses based on functional features.

Classification of LV HRC fuses based on their functional characteristics defined in EN 60269-1/ IEC 60269-1/DIN VDE 0636-10
Classification of LV HRC fuses and comparison of characteristic curves of gL and aM utilization categories LV HRC fuses are divided into functional and utilization categories in accordance with their type design. They can continuously carry currents up to their rated current. Functional category g (full-range fuses) Functional category g applies to fullrange fuses which can interrupt currents from the minimum fusing current up to the rated short-circuit breaking current. Utilization category gL/gG This category includes fuses of utilization category g/gG used to protect cables and lines. Functional category a (back-up fuses) Functional category a applies to backup fuses which can interrupt currents above a specified multiple of their rated current up to the rated short-circuit breaking current. Utilization category aM This functional category applies to switchgear fuses of utilization category aM, the minimum breaking current of which is approximately four
3/18
times the rated current. These fuses are thus only intended for short-circuit protection. For this reason, fuses of functional category a must not be used above their rated current. A means of overload protection, e.g. a thermal time-delay relay, must therefore always be provided. Comparison of characteristic curves for utilization categories gL and aM The prearcing-time/current characteristics of LV HRC of utilization category gL and aM for 200 A are compared in Fig. 3/9. Switchgear assemblies without fuses (fuseless design) Back-up protection (cascade-connected circuit-breakers) If two circuit-breakers with I-releases of the same type are connected in series along one conducting path, they will open simultaneously in the event of a fault (K) in the vicinity of the distribution board (Fig. 3/10, 3/11). The short-circuit current is thereby detected by two series-connected interrupting devices and effectively extinguished. As a result, the downstream circuit-breaker with a lower rated switching capacity can be in-

The rated current of the upstream circuit-breaker Q2 is selected in accordance with its rated operating current. The circuitbreaker Q2 can, for example, be used as a main circuit-breaker or group circuit-breaker for several feeders in sub-distribution boards. Its I-release is set to a very high operating current, if possible to the rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn of the downstream circuit-breakers.

The outgoing circuit-breaker Q1 provides overload protection and also clears autonomously relatively low short-circuit currents which may be caused by short circuits to exposed conductive parts, insulation faults or short circuits at the end of long lines and cables. The upstream circuitbreaker Q2 is only involved at the same time if high short-circuit currents occur as a result of a dead short circuit in the vicinity of the outgoing circuit-breaker Q1 (restricted selectivity). Circuit-breakers with L- and I-releases and contactor Protection and operating ranges of devices The circuit-breaker provides overload and short-circuit protection also for the contactor, while the contactor performs switching duties (Fig. 3/12). The requirements that must be fulfilled by the circuit-breaker are the same as those that apply to the fuse in switchgear assemblies comprising fuse, contactor and overload relay (see Fig. 3/8). Starter circuit-breaker with I-release, contactor, and overload relay (a) Readiness for reclosing Overload protection is provided by the overload relay in conjunction with the contactor, while short-circuit protection is provided by the starter circuit-breaker. The operating current of its I-release is set as low as the starting cycle will permit, in order to include low short-circuit currents in the instantaneous breaking range as well (Fig. 3/13). The advantage of this switchgear assembly is that it is possible to determine whether the fault
was an overload or short circuit according to whether, via the overload relay, the contactor or the starter circuit-breaker has opened. Further advantages of the starter circuit-breaker following short-circuit tripping are three-phase circuit interruption and immediate readiness for reclosing.

crucial factor in making a choice in favor of one or the other solution. Comparing the protective characteristics of fuses with those of current-limiting circuit-breakers The following should be taken into consideration when comparing the protection characteristics of fuses and circuit-breakers: C The rated short-circuit breaking capacity, which can vary considerably; C The level of current limiting which, with fuses of up to 400 A, is always higher than for current-limiting circuit-breakers with the same rated current; C The shape of the prearcing time/current characteristic curves of fuses and the tripping curves of circuit-breakers;

Comparison between the tripping curves and rated short-circuit breaking capacity of fuses with those of circuit-breakers with the same rated current and a high switching capacity
Comparison of current-limiting characteristics
Tripping curves and rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn The prearcing-time/current characteristic curve a of the 63 A fuse link, utilization category gL, and the “I” tripping characteristic b of a circuitbreaker are, by way of example, plotted in the time-current diagram in Fig. 3/16. The current setting for the inverse-time-delay overload release of the circuit-breaker corresponds to the rated current of the fuse link.
Current limiting with LV HRC fuses and circuit-breakers Fig. 3/15 shows the current-limiting characteristics of a circuit-breaker with rated continuous current of 63 A, at 400 V and 50 Hz compared to an LV HRC fuse of type 3NA, utilization category gL, rated currents 63 A and 100 A. Owing to the high motor starting currents, however, the rated current of the fuse must be higher than the rated operating current of the motor, i.e. a circuit-breaker with a minimum rated current of 63 A or a fuse with a minimum rated current of 100 A is required for a 30 kW motor.
Current limiting range (1) The typical test range for fuse currents (A) is, for example, between 1.3 and 1.6 times the rated current while the test range for the limiting tripping currents of the overload release (B) is between 1.05 and 1.2 times the current setting. The adjustable overload release enables the current setting and, therefore, the limiting tripping current to be matched more closely to the continuous loading capability than it would be possible with a fuse, the different current ratings of which only permit approximate matching.

Although the limit current of the fuse is adequate for providing overload protection for lines and cables, it is not sufficient for the starting current of motors where a fuse with the characteristic a’ would be needed. Overload range (2) In the overload range (2), the prearcing- time/current characteristic curve of the fuse is steeper than the tripping curve of the overload release. Short-circuit current range (3) In the short-circuit current range (3), the instantaneous release of the circuit-breaker detects short-circuit currents above its operating value faster than the fuse. At higher currents, the fuse trips more quickly and therefore, limits the short-circuit current more effectively than a circuit-breaker.
Extremely high rated switching capacity of LV HRC fuses This results in an extremely high rated breaking capacity for fuses of over 100 kA at an operating voltage of 690 V AC. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn of circuit-breakers, however, depends on a number of factors, e.g. the rated operating voltage Ue and the type. A comparison between the protection characteristics of fuses, circuitbreakers and their switchgear assemblies can be found in Tables 3/10 and 3/11. Selecting circuit-breakers for distribution boards with and without fuses Distribution boards and control units can be constructed with or without fuses. Distribution boards with fuses The standard design of distribution boards with fuses (Table 3/12) includes switchgear assemblies comprising circuit-breakers and fuses, whereby a specific task is allocated to each protection device. The feeder circuit-breaker provides overload protection and selective shortcircuit protection for the transformer and distribution board. The Siemens circuit-breakers SENTRON WL and 3VL are ideal for this purpose.

The switchgear assemblies comprising fuse and circuit-breaker, which provide system protection, protect the lines to the sub-distribution board against overloads and short circuits. The switchgear assemblies comprising fuse and circuit-breaker, which provide motor protection, as well as fuses, contactor and overload relay protect the motor feeder cable and the motor against overloads and short circuits. Distribution boards without fuses (fuseless design) In distribution boards without fuses (Table 3/13), short-circuit protection is provided by circuit-breakers for system protection and for load switching, furthermore circuit-breakers fulfill motor protection tasks only or protect starter assemblies together with the contactor. The protection ranges of the switchgear assemblies comprising circuit-breaker, contactor and overload relay have already been dealt with in this chapter.

C Tripping characteristic C is advantageous wherever equipment with higher inrush currents, e.g. luminaires and motors, is used. C Tripping characteristic D is adapted to highly pulse-generating equipment, such as transformers, solenoid valves or capacitors. Operating method Miniature circuit-breakers are protective switches for manual operation, including overcurrent remote tripping (via thermal overcurrent instantaneous release). Multi-pole devices are coupled mechanically at the outside via handles and simultaneously inside via their releases. Standards The international basic standard is IEC 60898. The European standard EN 60 898 and the German national standard DIN VDE 0641-11 are based upon it. Device sizes are described in DIN 43880. For the protection against personal injury, the disconnecting requirements according to the relevant standards, e.g. HD 384.4.41 S2 / IEC 60364-4-41 / DIN VDE 0100-410 have to be met.
Versions MCBs are available in many different versions: 1-pole, 2-pole, 3-pole, 4-pole and with connected neutral 1-pole+N and 3-pole+N. Corresponding to the preferred series according to IEC 60898 and DIN 43880, MCBs are allocated the following rated currents: C Devices with 55 mm depth 0.3 A to 63 A C Devices with 70 mm depth 0.3 A to 125 A Depending on the device type, an auxiliary switch (AS), fault-signal contact (FC), open-circuit shunt release (ST), undervoltage release (UR) or residual-current-operated circuit-breaker (RCCB module) can be retrofitted. Auxiliary switches (AS) signal the switching state of the MCB and indicate whether it has been switched off manually or automatically. Faultsignal contacts (FC) indicate tripping of the MCB due to overload or short circuit. Open-circuit shunt releases (ST) are suitable for remote switching of MCBs. Undervoltage releases (UR) protect devices connected in the circuit against impacts of insufficiently low supply voltage. By fitting an RCCB module to an MCB, you will receive an RCBO assembly, which – as a complete system – can be used for line protection as well as for protection against electrically ignited fires and personal injury in the event of direct or indirect contact voltages.

By connecting the AS and the FC to an instabus®EIB® binary input, the signals may also be read into an instabus EIB system. When using an instabus EIB binary output, the MCB which is tripped via the open-circuit shunt release (AA) can also be remotely tripped via instabus EIB. Depending on the device type, miniature circuit-breakers by Siemens have the following features: C Excellent current limiting and selectivity characteristics C Identical terminals on both sides for optional infeed from the top or bottom C Installation and dismantling without the use of tools C Rapid and easy removal from the system C Terminals safe-to-touch by fingers or the back of the hand according to VDE 0106-100 (VBG4) C Combined terminals for simultaneous connection of busbars and feeder cables C Main switch characteristics according to EN 60 204 / IEC 60204/ VDE 0113 C Separate switch position indicator AC current type MCBs are suitable for all AC and three-phase networks up to a voltage of 240/415 V and all DC networks up to 60 V (1-pole) and 120 V (2-pole). The MCB voltage rating is 230/400 V AC. AC/DC current type MCBs may also be used for 220 V DC (1-pole) and 440 V DC (2-pole).

Cables are fixed in such a way that the spacing between them and the wall is smaller than 0.3 times the outer cable diameter.
For line-overcurrent protection, the MCBs usually have two independent releases. In the event of overload, a bimetal contact opens inverse-time delayed corresponding to the current value. If a certain threshold is exceeded in the event of a short circuit, however, an electro-magnetic overcurrent release instantaneously trips without delay. The tripping range (time-current threshold zone) of the MCB according to EN 60898 / IEC 60898 / DIN VDE 0641-11 is defined via parameters I1 to I5 (Fig. 3/18). The line parameters Ib and Iz (see Fig. 3/17) are related to it.

When the IEC 60898 was published, new characteristics B, C and D were defined internationally. They were also adopted in EN 60898 and DIN VDE 0641-11. The new tripping requirements of MCBs facilitate their assignment to conductor cross sections. In the relevant German standards, e.g. DIN/VDE 0100-430, the following conditions are listed: 1st condition Ib ≤ In ≤ Iz (Rated current rule), 2nd condition I2 ≤ 1,45 · Iz (Tripping current rule). The 2nd condition automatically being fulfilled with the new characteristic curves due the fact that these curves have been defined (Iz = In), the MCB merely needs to be selected according to the simplified criterion In ≤ Iz . Resulting from this, a new allocation of rated currents for MCBs and conductor cross sections can be given (see Table 3/14), related to an ambient temperature of 30 °C, as it is considered appropriate according to DIN VDE 0100-430, Supplement 1, and in dependence of the type of installation and accumulation of equipment.
Standard
Siemens MCBs are available with the tripping characteristics B, C and D, bearing, among other things, the VDE mark based upon the CCA procedure (CENELEC-CertificationAgreement). Figure 3/19 represents all tripping characteristics. Due to the position of the tripping bands, the following features vary in intensity with a rising degree from curve A to D C Current pulse withstand strength, rising C Permissible line and cable length for the protection of persons, decreasing Temperature impact The tripping characteristics are standard defined at an ambient temperature of +30 °C. At higher temperatures, the thermal tripping curve in Fig. 3/18 shifts to the left, and to the right at lower temperatures. This means that tripping becomes effective even with lower currents present (higher temperatures) or only with higher currents (lower temperatures). This has to be taken into account in particular for an installation in hot rooms, in encapsulated distribution boards where, owing to the currentinduced heat losses of the built-in devices, higher temperatures may prevail and for distribution boards installed outdoors. MCBs can be

used at temperatures ranging from –25 °C to +55 °C. The relative humidity may be 95%. Resistance to climate Miniature circuit-breakers by Siemens are resistant to climate according to IEC 68-2-30. They were successfully tested in six climatic cycles. Degree of protection As MCBs are mainly installed in distribution boards, their degree of protection must meet the requirements of the respective type of room. MCBs without an encapsulation can reach IP 30 according to EN 60529/ IEC 60529 / DIN VDE 0470-1 provided that they have sufficient terminal covers. All MCBs are equipped with a snapon fixing for rapid fitting on 35-mm wide standard mounting rails according to DIN EN 50022. Some versions may additionally be screwed on mounting plates. Installation Moreover, some type series are available with a rapid wiring system for manual handling without the use of tools, which even enables the removal of individual MCBs from the busbar system.

Selectivity of MCBs with current limiting classes1[ 2 and3 towards back-up fuses. Curve B16 applies to 16 A Siemens breakers, tripping characteristic B.
Rated short-circuit breaking capacity Besides a reliable adherence to characteristic curves, an important performance feature of MCBs is their rated short-circuit breaking capacity. It is divided into short-circuit breaking capacity classes and indicates up to which level short-circuit currents can be broken according to EN 60898 / IEC 60898/ DIN VDE 0641-11 (Table 3/18). Depending on their design, MCBs by Siemens have short-circuit breaking capacity ratings up to 25,000 A and VDE approval (VDE is the Association of German Electrical Engineers).
Current limiting classes As a selectivity indicator with regard to upstream fuses, miniature circuitbreakers with characteristic B and C up to 40 A are divided into three current limiting classes according to their current limiting capability. For permissible let-through I 2t values, please refer to the standards EN 60898/ IEC 60898 / DIN VDE 0641-11. For reasons of selectivity, only Class 3 MCBs with a rated switching capacity of at least 6,000 A may be used in distribution boards connected downstream of the meter for residential and commercial buildings in compliance with the Technical Supply Conditions of German power supply companies.
Devices must be labeled 6000 3 Selectivity Selectivity means that only that protective device will trip in the event of a fault which is closest to the fault location in the course of the current path. This enables maintaining energy flow in circuits which are connected in parallel. In the diagram in Fig. 3/19, the current sequence in a disconnection process is illustrated with regard to current limiting classes. MCBs of type B16 by Siemens reduce the energy flow to much lower values than defined for current limiting class 3.

Figure 3/19 shows the selectivity limits of MCBs with different current limiting classes as the intersection of the MCB tripping curve with the melting curve of the fuse. The highly effective current limitation of the MCB also affects the high current discrimination towards the upstream fuse. Characteristic B16 relates to 16 A Siemens breakers, tripping characteristic B. Back-up protection If the short-circuit current at the point where the MCB is installed exceeds its rated switching capacity, another short-circuit protecting device has to be connected upstream. Without affecting the operability of the breaker in such cases, the switching capacity of such an assembly will be increased up to 50 kA.
Although circuit-breakers have a high inherent rated breaking capacity, they do not switch sufficiently current-limiting in the range of the MCB switching capacity limit (6 kA/10 kA) so that they cannot provide much support. Therefore, miniature circuitbreakers with a rated current of 6 A to 32 A are only protected by an upstream circuit-breaker (type 3VF1 to 3VF6 and SENTRON WL1/WL5) up to the defined rated switching capacity of the MCB (back-up protection). A more detailed description can be found in Chapter 6.1.2. Further product information on MCBs by Siemens is contained in the Siemens Catalog ”BETA Built-in installation devices”, Order No. E86060-K8220-A101-A6-7600.
In some countries, circuit-breakers rather than LV HRC fuses are connected upstream instead, which – depending on the type – reduces the combined switching capacity considerably.

3.3 Selectivity in LowVoltage Systems Selectivity and selectivity types With two series-connected protective devices, full selectivity in the event of a fault is achieved if only the protective device directly upstream of the fault location disconnects from supply. Selectivity types / selectivity limit A distinction is made between two types of selectivity: C Partial selectivity acc. to IEC 60947-2, 2.17.2: Overcurrent discrimination of two series-connected overcurrent pro tection devices, where the loadside protective device takes over the full protection task up to a defi ned overcurrent level without the other protective device being active. C Full selectivity acc. to IEC 60947-2, 2.17.2: Overcurrent discrimination of two series-connected overcurrent pro tection devices, where the loadside protective device takes over the full protection task without the other protective device being active. Selectivity types C Current selectivity: Selective disconnection by grading the instantaneous short-circuit releases. Circuit-breakers with LI characteristics. C Time selectivity: Grading of the configurable tripping times (tsd in the S-part) of the short-circuit releases. This applies to standard as well as to optional characteristic curves. Circuit-breakers with LSI characteristics. It is often required in main distribution boards and at transfer points using devices of different manufacturers.
C Dynamic/energy selectivity Selectivity based on the evaluation of the let-through energy of the downstream devices and the tripping energy of the upstream protective device. Selectivity determination According to IEC 60947-2, Appendix A, the determination or verification of the desired type of selectivity is divided in two time ranges. Time range > 100 ms: The time range above 100 ms can be analyzed by a comparison of characteristic curves in the L- or S-range, taking the tolerances, required protective settings, curve representation in identical scales etc. into account. Time range < 100 ms: According to Fig. A2 in this standard, selectivity in this time range must be verified by testing. Due to the fact that the time and cost expense involved being very high, different devices being used in the power distribution system, selectivity limits can often be obtained from renowned equipment manufacturers only. In practice, let-through currents are therefore often compared to the operating or pickup currents or, the letthrough currents of the protective devices are compared to each other. The prerequisite being that the relevant data is available from the equipment manufacturer and that it is analyzed thoroughly.
All characteristic curves must – if not already specified by the manufacturer – be assigned a scatter band to determine selectivity reliably. In the case of switchgear, EN 60947–2 / IEC 60 947–2 / DIN VDE 0660–101 specify a scatter of ± 20% for the instantaneous overcurrent release. The operating times, which are sometimes considerably shorter at normal operating temperatures, must be taken into account for electromechanical overload releases. Determination of the selectivity limit As a rule, all selectivity limits between two protective devices can be determined by carrying out measurements or tests. These measurements are virtually indispensable, particularly when assessing selectivity in the event of a short circuit, owing to the extremely rapid switching operations when current-limiting protection equipment is used. The measurements can, however, be very costly and complicated, therefore many manufacturers publish selectivity tables for their switchgear (see Table 3/16). When using SIMARIS design, all criteria are automatically considered.
Comparing characteristic curves Three diagram types can be used for comparing characteristics: C Time-current diagram C Let-through current diagram C Let-through energy diagram Since these characteristic curves are compared over several orders of magnitude, they are usually plotted on log-log paper.

Selectivity between series-connected fuses The incoming feeder lines and the outgoing feeders of the busbar of a distribution board carry different operating currents and, therefore, also have different cross-sections. Consequently, they are usually protected by fuses with different rated currents which ensure selectivity on account of the different operating behavior. Selectivity between series-connected fuses with identical utilization categories When fuses of the same utilization category (e.g. gL or gG) are used, selectivity is ensured across the entire overcurrent range up to the rated breaking capacity (absolute selectivity) if the rated currents differ by a factor of 1.6 or higher (Fig. 3/20). The Joulean heat values (I 2t-values) should be compared in case of high short-circuit currents. In the example shown, a 160 A LV HRC fuse would also have absolute selectivity with respect to a 100 A LV HRC fuse.

Selectivity between series-connected LV HRC fuses with identical utilization categories (example)
Selectivity between seriesconnected circuit-breakers Selectivity by grading the operating currents of instantaneous overcurrent releases (current grading) Selectivity can be achieved by grading the operating currents of instantaneous overcurrent releases (I-releases) (Fig. 3/21). Prerequisites for this are: Current grading with different short-circuit currents The short-circuit currents in the event of a short circuit at the respective locations of the circuit-breakers are sufficiently different.
5-second breaking and lineprotection conditions In complying with the 5-second breaking condition specified in HD 384.4.41 / IEC 60364-4-41 / DIN VDE 0100-410 or the 5-second line-protection condition specified in DIN VDE 0100-430 (if line protection cannot be provided in any other way),

Current grading with differently configured I-releases The rated currents and, therefore, the I-release values of the upstream and downstream circuit-breakers differ accordingly.
3/40
102
the I-release must generally be set to 4,000 A so that even very small short circuits are cleared at the input terminals of the downstream circuitbreaker Q1 within the specified time. Only partial selectivity can be established by comparing characteristic curves for current grading since the increased appearance of broken lines in the curve in the range < 100 ms, which result from the complicated dynamic switching and tripping operations, does not permit conclusions to be drawn with regard to selectivity. Possible solution: dynamic selectivity Selectivity through circuit-breaker coordination (dynamic selectivity) With high-speed operations, e.g. in the event of a short circuit, and the interaction of series-connected protection devices, the dynamic processes in the circuit and in the electromechanical releases have a considerable effect on selectivity behavior, particularly if current limiters are used.

Current selectivity for two series-connected circuit-breakers at different short-circuit current levels (example)
Selectivity is also achieved if the downstream current-limiting protection device trips so quickly that, although the let-through current does momentarily exceed the operating value of the upstream protection device, the ”mechanically slow” release does not have time to trigger. The let-through current depends on the peak short-circuit current and current limiting characteristics. Selectivity limits of two series-connected circuit-breakers A maximum short-circuit value – the selectivity limit – up to which the downstream circuit-breaker can open more quickly and alone, i.e. selectively, can be determined for each switchgear assembly.
Table 3/16 shows an example of a selectivity table. The selectivity limit indicated in the table may be well above the operating value of the instantaneous overcurrent release in the upstream circuit-breaker (see Fig. 3/22). Irrespective of this, it is important to check the selectivity in the event of an overload by comparing the characteristic curves and by means of tripping times in accordance with the relevant regulations. Generally speaking, only partial selectivity is possible in the case of dynamic selectivity with short circuits. This may be sufficient (full selectivity) if the prospective maximum short-circuit current at the downstream protective device is lower than the established selectivity limit.
tivity provides a suitable possibility for establishing full selectivity without having to use switchgear with shorttime-delay overcurrent releases. Selectivity by means of shorttime-delay overcurrent releases (time grading) Time grading by short-time-delay releases If current grading is not possible on account of the requirements listed on page 36 and cannot be achieved by selecting the switchgear in accordance with the selectivity tables (dynamic selectivity), selectivity can be provided by time grading short-time delay overcurrent releases. This requires grading of both the tripping delays and the appropriate operating currents.
With partial selectivity, which usually arises with current grading owing to the clearance condition (see Fig. 3/20), consideration of dynamic selec-

Time grading can be implemented to safeguard selectivity if the prospective short-circuit currents are almost identical. This requires grading of both the tripping delays and the operating currents of the overcurrent releases. In addition to the diagram with the four series-connected circuit-breakers, Fig. 3/22 also contains the associated grading diagram. The necessary grading time, which allows for all scatter bands, depends on the operating principle of the release and the type of circuit-breaker. Electronic S-releases With electronic short-time-delay overcurrent releases (S-releases), a grading time of approximately 70 ms to 100 ms from circuit-breaker to circuit-breaker is sufficient to allow for all scatter bands. Operating current The operating current of the shorttime-delay overcurrent release should be set to at least 1.45 times (twice per 20% scatter, unless other values are specified by the manufacturer) the value of the downstream circuitbreaker. Additional I-releases In order to reduce the short-circuit stress in the event of a ”dead” short circuit at the upstream circuit-breakers, they can be fitted with instantaneous electromagnetic overcurrent releases in addition to the short-time delay releases (Fig. 3/23). The value selected for the operating current of the instantaneous electromagnetic overcurrent releases must be high enough to ensure that the releases only operate in case of direct ”dead” short circuits and, under normal operating conditions, do not interfere with selective grading.

Zone-selective interlocking (ZSI) A microprocessor-controlled shorttime grading control, also called “zone-selective interlocking”, has been developed for circuit-breakers to prevent excessively long tripping times when several circuit-breakers are connected in series. This control function allows the tripping delay to be reduced to max. 50 ms for the circuit-breakers located upstream of the short circuit. The method of operation regarding zone-selective interlocking is illustrated in Fig. 3/24. A short circuit at K1 is detected by Q1, Q3, and Q5. If ZSI is active, Q3 is temporarily disabled by Q1 and Q5 by Q3 by means of appropriate communication lines. Since Q1 does not receive any disabling signal, it trips after only 10 ms. A short circuit at K2 is only detected by Q5; since it does not receive any disabling signal, it trips after only 50 ms. Without "ZSI", tripping would only occur after 150 ms. Selectivity between circuitbreaker and fuse When considering selectivity in conjunction with fuses, a permissible scatter band of ± 10% in the direction of current flow must be allowed for in the time-current characteristics.

Absolute selectivity for circuit-breakers without short-time-delay overcurrent releases is achieved if the letthrough current of the fuse ID does not reach the operating current of the instantaneous overcurrent release (please refer to current limiting diagram for LV HRC fuses in ”Electrical Installations Handbook”, Section 4.1.1). This is, however, only to be expected for a fuse, the rated current of which is very low compared with the rated continuous current. Selectivity ratios between LS-releases and fuses with relatively high rated currents Due to the dynamic processes that take place in electromagnetic releases, absolute selectivity can also be achieved with fuses, whose ID briefly exceeds the operating current. Once again, selectivity can only be verified by means of appropriate measurements of Ii. Absolute selectivity can be achieved by using circuitbreakers with short-time-delay overcurrent releases (S-releases) if the safety margin for the operating current td between the upper scatter band of the fuse characteristic and the delay time of the S-release td is selected so that tA ≥ 100 ms (Fig. 3/26). Selectivity between fuse and downstream circuit-breaker Selectivity ratios in the overload range In order to achieve selectivity in the overload range, a safety margin of tA ≥1 s is required between the lower scatter band of the fuse and the characteristic curve of the inverse-timedelay overload release (Fig. 3/27).

In case of short circuits, it is important to remember that, after the releases in the circuit-breaker have tripped, the fuse continues to be heated during the arcing time. The selectivity limit lies approximately at the point where a safety margin of 70 ms between the lower scatter band of the fuse and the operating time of the instantaneous overcurrent release or the delay time of the short-time-delay overcurrent release is undershot. Short-circuit range A reliable and usually relatively high selectivity limit for the short-circuit range can be determined in the I 2t- diagram. In this diagram, the maximum let-through I 2t value of the circuit-breaker is compared with the minimum prearcing I 2t value of the fuse (Fig. 2/28). Since these values are maximum and minimum values, the scatter bands are not necessary.

Ik I k, but < I k∑. The highest and lowest fault currents are important here. Due to the I-releases, only the faulted transformer infeed will trip on the high-voltage and low-voltage side. The circuit-breakers in the ”sound” infeeds remain operative. Parallel-connected infeeds via tie breakers Protective functions under fault conditions Tie breakers must perform the following protective functions in fault situations: C instantaneous release with faults in the vicinity of the busbars and C relief of outgoing feeders of the effects of high total short-circuit currents.
Selecting the circuit-breakers The type of device used in the outgoing feeders and the selectivity ratios depend primarily on whether circuit-breakers with current-zero cut-off, i.e. without current limiting, or with current limiting are used as tie breakers. Instantaneous, current-limiting tie breakers relieve the outgoing circuits of the effects of high unlimited total peak short-circuit currents I p and, therefore, permit the use of less complex and less expensive circuitbreakers. Note on setting the overcurrent releases in tie breakers The values set for the overcurrent releases must be as high as possible in order to prevent operational interference caused by the tie breakers opening at relatively low short-circuit currents, e.g. in the outgoing feeders of the sub-distribution boards. With two infeeds With two infeeds and depending on the fault location (left or right busbar section or feeder), only the associated partial short-circuit current (e.g. I k Part 2) flows through the tie breaker Q3 as shown in Fig. 3/31.
With three infeeds and fault With three infeeds, the ratios are different according to which of the outgoing feeders shown in Fig. 3/32a and b is faulted. In the center busbar section If a fault occurs at the outgoing feeder of the center busbar section (Fig. 3/32a), approximately equal partial short-circuit currents flow through the tie breakers Q4 and Q5. In the outer busbar section If a fault occurs at the outgoing feeder of the outer busbar section, (Fig. 3/32b), two partial short-circuit currents flow through the tie breaker Q4. Computer-assisted selectivity check Precise values for the short-circuit currents flowing through the tie breakers are required to permit optimum setting of the overcurrent releases. They provide information concerning selective characteristics with a large number of different fault currents and are determined and evaluated with the aid of a computer program. Selectivity and undervoltage protection If a short circuit occurs, the system voltage collapses to a residual voltage at the short-circuit location. The magnitude of the residual voltage depends on the fault impedance. With a ”dead” short circuit, the fault impedance and, therefore, the voltage at the short-circuit location drops to almost zero. Generally speaking, however, arcs with arc-drop voltages between approximately 30 V and 70 V occur with short circuits.

This voltage, starting at the fault location, increases proportionately to the intermediate impedance with increasing proximity to the power source. Fig. 3/33 illustrates the voltage ratios in LV switchgear with a ”dead” short circuit. If a short circuit occurs at K1 (Fig. 3/33a), the rated operating voltage Ue drops to 0.13 Ue at the busbar of the subdistribution board and to 0.5 · Ue at the busbar of the main distribution board. The next upstream circuitbreaker Q1 clears the fault. Depending on the size and type of the circuitbreaker, the total breaking time is 30 ms for zero-current interrupters and a maximum of 10 ms for currentlimiting circuit-breakers. If a short-circuit occurs at K2 (Fig. 3/33b), the circuit-breaker Q2 opens. It is equipped with a short-time-delay overcurrent release (S). The delay time is at least 70 ms. During this time, the rated operating voltage at the busbar of the main distribution board is reduced to 0.13 · Ue. If the rated operating voltage drops to 0.7 – 0.35 times this value and the voltage reduction lasts longer than approximately 20 ms, all of the circuitbreakers with undervoltage releases open. All contactors also open if the rated control supply voltage collapses to below 75% of its rated value for longer than 5 to 30 ms.
Tripping delay for contactors and undervoltage releases Undervoltage releases and contactors with tripping delay are required to ensure that the selective overcurrent protection is not interrupted prematurely. This is not necessary if current-limiting circuit-breakers with a maximum total clearing time of 10 ms are used.
3.3.2 Selectivity in Meshed Systems Two selectivity functions must be performed in meshed systems: 1. Only the short-circuited cable may be disconnected from the system. 2. If a short-circuit occurs at the terminals of an infeed transformer, only the faulted terminal may be disconnected from the system. Node fuses The nodes of a meshed LV system are normally equipped with cables with the same cross-section and with LV HRC fuses of utilization category gL of the same type and rated current (Fig. 3/34). If a short circuit (K1) occurs along the meshed system cable, the shortcircuit currents I k3 and I k4 flow to the fault location. Short-circuit current I k3 from node ”a” comprises the partial currents I k1 and I k2 which may differ greatly depending on the impedance ratios. .
Permissible current ratio Selectivity of the fuses at node ”a” is achieved if fuse F3, through which the total current I k3 flows, melts and fuse F1 or F2, through which the partial short-circuit current I k1 or I k2 flows, remain operative. In the case of Siemens LV HRC fuses, the permissible current ratio I k1 /(I k1 + I k2) for high short-circuit currents is 0.8. Power transformers in meshed systems Feeder circuit-breaker with network master relay In multi-phase meshed systems (Fig. 3/35), i.e. infeed via several MV lines and transformers, power feedback from the LV system to the fault location shall be prevented if a fault occurs in a transformer substation or MV line. A network master relay (reverse power relay) and a ”circuitbreaker for mesh-connected systems” are required for this purpose. This is a three-pole circuit-breaker, possibly without overcurrent release, but with a capacitor-delayed shunt release (open-circuit shunt release with memory). If a short circuit occurs on the HV side of the transformer (K1) or between the transformer and network circuit-breaker (K2) or along the cable (K3) (Fig. 3/36), the HV HRC fuse operates on the HV side; on the LV side, power flows back to the fault location via the network circuit-breaker. The open-circuit shunt release receives the tripping pulse from the network master relay. The fault location is thus selectively disconnected from the power system.

3.4 Protection of Capacitors According to IEC 60358 / VDE 0560 Part 4, capacitor units must be suitable for continuous operation with a current whose r.m.s. value does not exceed 1.3 times the current which flows with a sinusoidal voltage and rated frequency. Owing to the above-mentioned dimensioning requirements, no overload protection is provided for capacitor units in the majority of cases Capacitors in systems with harmonic components The capacitors can only be overloaded in systems with devices which generate high harmonics (e.g. generators and converter-fed drives). The capacitors, together with the seriesconnected transformer and short-circuit reactance of the primary system, form an anti-resonant circuit. Resonance phenomena occur if the natural frequency of the resonant circuit matches or is close to the frequency of a harmonic current generated by the power converter.
Reactor-connected capacitors The capacitors must be provided with reactors to prevent resonance (see ”Electrical Installations Handbook”, Section 1.6). An LC resonant circuit, whose resonance frequency is below the lowest harmonic component (250 Hz) in the load current, is used instead of the capacitor. The capacitor unit is thus inductive for all harmonic currents that occur in the load current and can, therefore, no longer form a resonant circuit with the system reactance. Settings for overload relays If thermal time-delay overload relays are used to provide protection against overcurrents, the tripping value can be 1.3 to 1.43 times the rated current of the capacitor since, allowing for the permissible capacitance deviation, the capacitor current can be 1.1 · 1.3 = 1.43 times the rated capacitor current.
Harmonics suppression by means of filter circuits An alternative solution would be to use filter circuits to remove the majority of harmonics from the primary system (see ”Electrical Installations Handbook”, Sections 1.6.3 and 1.6.4). The filter circuits are also series resonant circuits which, unlike the reactorconnected capacitors, are tuned precisely to the frequencies of the harmonic currents to be filtered. As a result, the impedance is almost zero. Short-circuit protection LV HRC fuses with utilization category gL are normally used in capacitor units for short-circuit protection. A rated fuse current of 1.6 to 1.7 times the rated capacitor current is required to prevent the fuses from tripping in the overload range and when the capacitors switch.
With transformer-heated overload relays or releases, a higher secondary current flows due to the changed transformation ratio of the transformers caused by the harmonic components. This may result in premature tripping.

3.5 Protection of Distribution Transformers The following devices are used for protection tasks in medium-voltage systems: HV HRC fuses High-voltage high-rupturing-capacity (HV HRC) fuses usually used in conjunction with switch-disconnectors to protect radial feeders and transformers against short circuits. Circuit-breakers with protection Protection relays Protection relays connected to current transformers (protection core) can be used to perform all protectionrelated tasks irrespective of the magnitude of the short-circuit currents and rated operating currents of the required circuit-breakers. Digital protection Modern protection equipment is controlled by microprocessors (digital protection) and supports all of the protective functions required for a medium-voltage outgoing feeder. Protection as component of the substation control and protection system Digital protection also allows operating and fault data, which can be called up via serial data interfaces, to be collected and stored. Digital protection can, therefore, be incorporated in substation control and protection systems as an autonomous component.
Current transformer rating for protection purposes Current transformers are subject to the standards DIN VDE 0414, Parts 1 to 3, as well as IEC 185 and IEC 186. Current transformers with 5P or 10P cores must be used for connecting protection equipment. The required rated output and overcurrent factor must be determined on the basis of the information provided in the protection relay descriptions. Overcurrent protection Overcurrent protection via current transformers for protecting cables and transformer feeders can be either two-phase or three-phase. The neutral-point connection of the mediumvoltage network must be considered here. Relay operating currents with emergency generator operation Care should be taken to ensure that the operating currents of the protection relays provided for normal system operation are also attained in the event of faults during emergency operation using generators with relatively low rated outputs. Three-phase time-overcurrent protection In the interests of future system safety, it is advisable to configure the time-overcurrent protection as a threephase system, irrespective of the method of neutral-point connection.
Standards for protection relays Static protection relays must comply with the standards IEC 255 and DIN VDE 0435-303.

3.5.1 Protection with Overreaching Selectivity Ideally, transformer feeders should be protected by: HV HRC fuses High-voltage high-rupturing-capacity (HV HRC) fuses used in conjunction with switch-disconnectors for rated transformer outputs of up to approx. 1,250 kVA for low switching rates, or Circuit-breakers with protection Circuit-breakers with protection (see page 54) from approx. 800 kVA and for high switching rates; also when several circuit-breakers with S-releases are arranged in series on the low-voltage side and selectivity is not possible with upstream HV HRC fuses. The anticipated selectivity ratios must, therefore, be checked before the protection scheme is chosen and dimensioned. Protection by means of HV HRC fuses Dimensioning HV HRC fuses The rated current of the HV HRC fuses specified by the manufacturers for the rated output of each transformer should be used when dimensioning the HV HRC fuses. The lowest rated current is dictated by the rush currents generated when the transformers are energized and is 1.5 to 2 times the rated transformer currents.

Minimum breaking current I a min For the determination of the maximum rated current it must be observed that, with short circuits on a transformer’s secondary side, the minimum breaking current I a min of the fuse must be exceeded, affecting even the installation's busbar system. Generally, the load on I a min is 4 to 5 times that of the transformer’s rated current. Between these limit values, the fuse link can be chosen according to selectivity.

Example showing the grading of circuit-breaker with DMT protection (Q3), SENTRON WL circuit-breaker, 1000 A with LS-releases (Q2) and downstream outgoing feeders, e.g. 400 A LV HRC fuse (F1) and 630 A distribution circuit-breaker (Q1) in a 630 kVA transformer feeder
Protection by means of circuitbreakers with definite-time overcurrent protection (DMT) Requirement The two feeder circuit-breakers (in Fig. 3/43) form a functional unit and require selectivity with respect to the protection devices on the lowvoltage side. Outgoing feeders with LV HRC fuses If low-voltage fuses are connected downstream, selectivity with circuitbreakers with mechanical releases (3WF) can only be achieved up to a certain maximum fuse current rating; in the example, Q2 with mechanical S-releases (setting range 3 to 6 kA) ≤ 400 A for F1. Larger LV HRC fuses are also selective if SENTRON WL circuit-breakers with an S-release range of 2 to 12 · I r are used. Outgoing feeders with mixed components If outgoing feeders with mixed components are used, the safety margin of at least 100 ms relative to the largest permissible LV HRC fuse-link for F1 is the crucial factor in determining the setting for the S-release of Q2. In the case of mechanical S-releases with the highest current setting of 6 kA, this results in a delay time td of 220 ms for the smallest permissible safety margin of 100 ms. This determines the starting point for all subsequent upward and downward gradings in the diagram. Outgoing feeders with circuit-breaker Since selectivity cannot be achieved using LV HRC fuses with a higher current rating (see Fig. 3/41), circuitbreakers with time or, if possible, current grading should be used.

Based on the assumption that verification of the short-circuit currents would show that current grading would be possible, a 630 A (Q1) distribution circuit-breaker with LI-releases was selected. Intersection of the characteristics Q2 and Q3 in the middle short-circuit range is permissible because: C the L-release of the low-voltage circuit-breaker Q1 (not shown in Fig. 3/43) protects the transformer against overloading, which only occurs in the range 1–1.3 times the rated current of the transformer; C there is a safety margin of ≥ 150 ms (≈300 ms in the example shown in Fig. 3/43) between the I > tripping value of the DMT protection and the LV HRC fuse characteristic F1 and selectivity is, therefore, achieved. Higher rated transformer outputs and broader setting ranges for the S-release of Q2 make it easier for the characteristic Q3 I > to be shifted to the left of the characteristic Q2 s. This also provides a certain degree of back-up protection with respect to the L-release of circuit-breaker Q2. DMT protection Nowadays, digital devices are used to provide DMT protection in practically all applications. They have broader setting ranges, allow a choice between definite-time and inverse-time overcurrent protection or overload protection, provide a greater and more consistent level of measuring accuracy and are self-monitoring.
3/58
Selecting current transformers for DMT protection The following points should be observed when selecting current transformers for DMT protection (these considerations are applied in the example shown in Fig. 3/43): Current transformers with a rating of 40 to 200 A could be selected for rated currents of 36.4 A on the high-voltage side of the 630 kVA transformer, with the characteristic Q3 I> at 200 A positioned at the abscissa for 10 kV and with the broad setting ranges. Here, it is important to bear in mind the higher investment costs for current transformers with lower rated primary currents. If, for example, 60/1 A current transformers are selected, the current sensors must be set as follows: Setting the current sensors I>, I>> and timing elements Current sensor I >: The setting for a selected operating value of 200 A is as follows: 200 A I p = ______ = 3.3 A 60/1 Timing element for I > excitation: ti> = 0.5 s Current sensor I>>: The current sensor I>> should only respond to faults on the high-voltage side (in the shortest possible time). Operating current I>> approximately I kT · 1.20 (safety margin relative to I kT)
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
IrT · 100% __________ 36,4 A · 100% = = 606.6 A I kT = _______ ukr 6% Operating current = I kT · 1.2 = 728 A Operating current (in secondary circuit) = 728 A I p = ______ ≈ 12.1 A 60/1
3.5.2 Equipment for Protecting Distribution Transformers (against Internal Faults) The following signaling devices and protection equipment are used to detect internal transformer faults: C Devices for monitoring and protecting liquid-cooled transformers such as Buchholz protectors, temperature detectors, contact thermometers, etc. C Temperature monitoring systems for GEAFOL® resin-encapsulated transformers comprising – temperature sensors in the low-voltage winding and – signaling and tripping devices in the incoming-feeder switch panel. The thermistor-type thermal protection protects the transformer against overheating resulting from increased ambient temperatures or overloading. Furthermore, it allows the full output of the transformer to be utilized irrespective of the number of load cycles without the risk of damage to the transformer. These signaling and protection devices do not have to be included in the grading diagrams (e.g. Fig. 3/29).

4.1.1 Withdrawable CircuitBreaker Switchgear, Air-Insulated NXAIR Family Switchgear from the NXAIR family just makes solutions simpler, because it brings security into all significant decisions for future planning. Security of investment through innovative technology The novel modular design of switchgear panels allows rapid reavailability because the individual compartments (connection, module and low-voltage compartment) can be replaced after a fault inside the switchgear panel. The bushing-type current transformer principle, together with the pressure-resistant partitions, allows the selective disconnection of an internal fault up to 31.5 kA by means of the associated circuit-breaker. A mimic diagram with self-explanatory operating symbols for optimum operator prompting is integrated into the equipment front as a standard feature. The numerical bay controller family integrates protection, control, communication, operating and monitoring functions into one device.
Cost-efficiency of the switchgear Decades of experience in the manufacture of air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear as well as type and routine testing in accordance with IEC 62271-200 ensure reliability. Internal arc tests and self-explanatory operating symbols ensure personal safety and operational reliability. Rapid re-availability is achieved by the modular design and selectivity. Flexibility shows itself in the choice between truck-type or withdrawable

4.1.2 Fixed-Mounted Circuit-Breaker Switchgear, SF6-Insulated NXPLUS Family Switchgear of the NXPLUS family provides the plus in performance and is fit for any terrain. Unique pressure system This is the only switchgear worldwide with hermetically sealed pressure systems. This makes it independent of external influences. Whether extreme climatic conditions or most adverse conditions in conurbations or industrial centers are concerned, our NXPLUS switchgear masters every environmental challenge. At the same time, no work on the gas system is required on site, nor throughout the lifetime of the system. Maintenance-free design Switchgear of the NXPLUS family requires no maintenance for life. This is achieved by the gas-tight enclosure of the high-voltage part, by using SF6 as insulating medium and by maintenance-free operating mechanisms. Cost-efficiency Whether you decide for an NXPLUS or an NXPLUS C – you opt for the most compact dimensions, for the highest voltages and switching capacities and thus certainly for a cost-efficient solution.
4/26
NXPLUS C It is the first medium-voltage circuitbreaker switchgear to make SF6 insulation and vacuum technology costefficient in its class – the compact NXPLUS C for voltages up to 24 kV. Features: C Hermetically sealed pressure system with SF6 filling for the complete service life C Type-tested switchgear – gets by completely without any work on the gas system during installation and extensions C Safe-to-touch enclosure and standard connections for cable plugs of the outside-cone type C Three-pole SF6-insulated module for the three-position disconnector and the circuit-breaker with panel connection C Single-pole-insulated and screened busbars, plug-in system C Operating mechanisms and transformers easily accessible outside the SF6 enclosure C Reduced number of functional elements due to three-position disconnector used for isolating and earthing the outgoing feeder C Dielectrically unstressed ring-type current transformers C Make-proof grounding with vacuum circuit-breaker C Measurements on the busbar possible without the need for additional panels C Aseismic version optionally available

Generator level G
Primary distribution level
4.2 Secondary Distribution Systems, Switchgear and Substations General information In its basic version, the secondary distribution system consists of consumer substations with ring-main feeders and directly fed transformer feeders. In order to minimize transmission losses and attain an economical solution for switchgear and transformer substations, the system configuration and switchgear technology should be optimally designed and dimensioned. To limit transmission losses, the packaged transformer substations/ consumer substations must be located directly in the load center. Therefore, switchgear and substations with a high degree of safety and reliability and, at the same time, minimum dimensions are to be preferred. The large number of substations installed in the distribution system requires a high degree of standardization and the application of technically mature products. The switchgear types described below fulfill these quality requirements in every respect. The packaged transformer substations consisting of medium-voltage switchgear, transformer and lowvoltage distribution are available as factory-assembled units or as single components and can be installed in any building and room at the site of installation.

Secondary distribution system
Furthermore, the large number of substations within the distribution system asks for a cost-effective solution, e.g. switchgear made of climate-independent, maintenance-free switching devices, making maintenance work unnecessary throughout the entire service life of the substations in operation. Block-type ringmain units (non-extendable) and modular switchgear (extendable) have been developed for such packaged transformer substations. Extendable switchgear consists of switch-disconnectors, optionally with or without HV HRC fuses, circuit-breaker panels, metering panels and bus sectionalizer panels.

Siemens has developed switchgear which complies with all the aforementioned requirements. 8DJ secondary distribution switchgear and 8DH switchgear are metal-enclosed, gas-insulated switchgear for indoor installation. C 8DJ type as ring-main units in block-type construction, extension installation not possible C 8DH type as modular switchgear “line-up and extendable type“ in panel-type construction More than 400,000 8DJ/8DH-type switchgear panels are in operation worldwide. Application areas 8DJ/8HD switchgear is used in secondary distribution systems, e.g. substations, customer transfer substations and distribution substations of power supply companies and municipal utilities or industrial plants. Typical application areas are C Wind power stations C High-rise buildings C Airports C Lignite open-cast mining C Underground stations C Sewage plants C Docks C Traction power supplies C Automobile industry C Oil industry C Chemical industry C Cement industry
The 8DJ secondary distribution switchgear and 8DH switchgear are type-tested, factory-assembled, metal-enclosed switchgear with SF6 gas insulation. They have been proven to reliably comply with all requirements of operation with regard to: Maximum personal safety C Arc-fault-tested stainless-steel vessel and cable connection compartment tested on the resistance to accidental arcs C Logic interlockings C Guided operation C Capacitive voltage indication integrated in switchgear C Isolation from supply can be safely tested on the closed switching front C Locked and grounded covers for the fuse section and the cable terminal compartment

4.4 PQM®– Power Quality Management and Load Flow Control The future of the rapidly changing global power distribution markets lies in the form of power grid operations. Switching high currents, measures to be taken by power quality management and handling short circuits remain the major tasks in this context. New technologies, such as static and dynamic compensation equipment and network couplings based on power electronic components, are the logical choice to meet these challenges. POWERCOMP are products and systems that ensure high power quality of an industrial or public medium-voltage supply grid. By utilizing systems for reactive power compensation that are tailored to meet customer requirements, the price of the power quantities delivered will be reduced. Return of investment can often be achieved within less than two years. In the event of significant load fluctuations, dynamic compensation systems using thyristor valves or IGBT modules ensure a stable supply voltage. Powerful filter circuit systems reduce effective harmonic currents of speed-controlled large drives, and thus, operating permits for the connection of such plants can be obtained. POWERCOMP systems are

modularly designed and can be used in the voltage range of 3 kV to 36 kV. SIPLINK, the medium-voltage DC transmission system, allows economical power exchange at the medium voltage level by using power electronics. Power supply systems with differing parameters can thus be coupled, costs can be saved by optimizing power procurement, the load flow during power transmission is controlled and a constant supply of voltage is maintained through the provision of reactive power.
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
Innovative solutions for power supply Most consumers don’t just draw active power from the grid but also reactive power which is somewhat erratically transmitted to the consumer. For this reason, in their supply contracts, power supply companies define the exact power factor as the ratio between active power to be transmitted and the apparent power. Any deviation is on account of the customer. This makes power quality management a very interesting topic.

are gaining ground in the context of growing cost pressure and the widespread use of electronic modules and power electronics for automating and control tasks. Thanks to the use of intelligent load flow controls, performance- and costoptimized power procurement is now attainable. Subnetworks with deviating parameters can also be connected, which means that their voltage stability and quality can thus be positively influenced.
Photo 4/39
Compact compensation unit
State-of-the art power electronics provide efficient and cost-effective options for optimizing power supply and power quality. Such applications
Applications in the field of power quality management initially require comprehensive measurements of power and harmonic ratios, which are taken using high-tech measuring instruments. By means of a specially developed program, these data are evaluated in a network analysis that
simulates real conditions, taking numerous consumer and load requirements into account. This analysis helps to develop and implement the proper PQM solution even for highly complex and sensitive networks. POWERCOMP compensation systems for medium voltage Compact, intelligent and expandable – this characterizes POCOS®, a system which is, above all, suitable for use in medium-voltage installations that require a compensation system for a certain technical process or for reasons of ambitious customer specifications. Extensive experience from use of this system the world over is continually being channeled into its further development.

Wherever fast load changes result in a dynamic impact on the voltage at the point of connection, or wherever a highly sensitive voltage control is required, dynamic compensation systems do the job. Their dynamic reactive-power compensation function can be combined with an activepower filtering function. Fast changing load characteristics of arc furnaces and mill trains affect the system voltage as much as, for example, the dynamic load characteristics in traction systems. Long-standing experience and comprehensive process knowledge about industrial power supply systems guarantee economical solutions that take customer needs into account.

Transformer/container model
As required, several units can be operated side by side. Choked or nonchoked options are feasible. Despite the extremely compact design, a high compensation effect is achieved owing to the use of vacuum switchgear, optimized capacitors and iron-core reactors. Besides the basic model for indoor installation, systems for outdoor installation are also available. Compact compensation systems are not necessarily suited to every type of application. In some cases, it may be more reasonable to use conventional systems with capacitors or filter circuits. For the primary industry (including paper, cement, steel, chemical and glass), this type of compensation system has been installed at every voltage level all over the world.

SIPLINK Closed-loop controlled load flow for power systems with special requirements With SIPLINK (Siemens Multifunctional Power Link), Siemens has developed a technology for mediumvoltage direct current transmission that – depending on the application and configuration of an existing supply system – can be utilized by power supply companies and industrial plant operators alike to make tremendous savings in terms of costs of investment, operation and total plant service life. SIPLINK controls the load flow during power transmission and ensures optimal voltage stability by a controlled output of reactive power. In order to do so, SIPLINK uses technology that is based on self-commutated IGBTs, which allows networks to be linked that still remain electri-

cally isolated. In this case, the connected networks may even feature different voltage levels, neutral point connections, frequencies and phase angles. The SIPLINK can also be used to supply a separate network without a power generating set of its own, in particular if network parameters that differ from the distribution system are required. Typical examples are test bays (for 60 Hz or surge voltage generation), or shipyards and connection points in harbors for the supply of on-board networks of ships. Individual plant sections with different requirements to power quality and safety of supply can also be operated isolated from the general power supply using SIPLINK.

Most favorable operating mode from the point of view of power engineering – medium voltage (MV)
Protection for the TS stations, which are equipped with cast-resin transformers, is provided by a load-switchfuse combination which is rated and selected according to the criteria given in IEC 62271-105:2002-08 or DIN EN 60420 (VDE Part 303):1994-09. The relevant standard for the selection of the high-voltage high rupturing capacity fuses (HV HRC fuses) is DIN VDE 0670-402 (VDE 0670 Part 402):1998-05.
The operating mode of the MV power system is determined by the type of neutral point connection. The most important types of neutral point connection in MV systems according to DIN VDE 0101 (VDE 0101):2000-01 are as follows: C Isolated neutral C Ground fault compensation or resonant neutral grounding (RESPE) C Low-resistant neutral grounding (NOSPE)

There is a general tendency towards replacing resonant grounding of the neutral point by low-resistant neutral grounding in MV cable networks in the automotive industry. The following advantages are decisive for this trend: C (n-1)-redundant network design allows selective disconnection of 1-pole faults C Protective disconnection of the fault location is carried out without interrupting the power supply C Clearly defined protective trippings and changes of the switching status enable integrated power automation C Low-resistant grounded neutral operation (resistance) prevents high transient long-term operating overvoltages C Danger of fault expansion and double ground faults is eliminated C Short tripping times limit follow-up damages of ground faults at the fault location The operating experience gathered with NOSPE networks used in plants of Volkswagen AG, Adam Opel AG and DaimlerChrysler AG confirms the advantages of low-resistant neutral grounding. BMW AG is another automotive manufacturer that has decided in favor of low-resistant neutral grounding of the 20-kV power system to be installed in their new plant at Leipzig.

The TN system is the preferred system type for supplying power to automotive manufacturing plants. For distributed transformer infeeds (highcurrent busbar), an LV system conforming to VDE can only be designed as TN-C system with common neutral and protective conductor (PEN conductor). Only at a lower level can a TN-S system be built with a separate neutral conductor (N conductor) and protective ground conductor (PE conductor). Consequently, LV systems for the automotive industry have so far been designed exclusively as TN-C-S systems.

In a modern automotive manufacturing plant, too, higher requirements are placed on electromagnetic compatibility in order to prevent any negative impact on the production process by electromagnetic interference of communication and information technology systems. An EMCsuitable LV system with a continuously de-energized PE conductor must be designed as TN-S system. In multiple-supply LV systems, a TN-S system is only feasible if the PEN conductors or the individual supply circuits can be grounded at a central point.

Process-dependent particularities for the design of subsystems – press shop In the press shop, a large number of motorized press drives are installed for forming metal sheets into body parts. The individual power output of these drives is relatively high compared to the total power demand of the press shop and it puts a surgetype, intermittent burden on the power system. Another system perturbation is caused by the thyristor controllers of the press drives, as they generate harmonics of the vth order. Owing to the short-circuit power of the network, voltage changes due to surge-type loads must be limited in such a way that the operational safety of consumers is not endangered and the optical stress on the human eye by current fluctuations in the lighting system remains within reasonable limits. An example of how to meet this power quality requirement is shown in Fig. 4/41. Another requirement for the LV system in the press shop is for the permissible compatibility levels for harmonic contents to be observed as defined in DIN EN 61000-2-4 (VDE Parts 2-4):2003-05. To maintain these levels, the compensation system of the switchgear substations must normally be inductor-type. The optimum degree of choking p depends on the harmonic contents of the vth order (v = 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 25 for 3-phase bridge circuits) that are mostly present. In practice, inductorcapacitor units with a choking degree between p = 6% and p = 7% are mainly used.
Body shop Connection of the welders in the 400-V system of the body shop is carried out in groups by a symmetric distribution to the phase conductors L1-L2, L1-L3, L2-L3 (Fig. 4/42). Due to their intermittent operating mode, the machines for welding the body parts connected in the circuit do not constitute a continuous load. Therefore, the equipment in the welding circuit must be rated according to its thermal equivalent current. The thermal equivalent current must be calculated as a sequence of accidentally overlapping welding pulses. The calculation is performed by means of the thermal equivalent current method by establishing the square average, a probability calculation based on binomially distributed welding currents. For rating the welding network, the thermal equivalent current is, however, merely of minor importance. What is more important are the voltage dips caused by the accidentally overlapping welding pulses. The probability calculation of these voltage dips is again based on the binomial distribution. To apply the Bernoulli formula, the different welding machine types are combined into one uniform equivalent welding machine with an identical peak welding current Iw, the identical power factor cosϕ and the same relative ON period OP. This probability peak load calculation provides the required indicator for evaluating the power supply quality in the body shop.
What is vital for quality-responsive welding of the body parts is the presence of voltage dips that do not exceed a limit ∆u’ = 10% in the statistic mean. Another quality indicator is the scrap rate for voltage-related faulty weldings λ(∆u’perm. > 10%). The permissible limit value for this scrap rate is λperm = 1‰. In the body shop, compensation can normally be made non-choked. For the non-choked compensation method, observance of the permissible compatibility level for harmonic contents has been verified by measurements in several 400-V welding networks in the automotive industry. A favorable solution in terms of power engineering proves to be the use of capacitors with a rated voltage of 480 V ≤ Um ≤ 525 V. Paint shop Paint shop processes are characterized by high load densities and long ON periods of the consumers. What is particularly typical is the negative impact on power quality caused by the rectifiers for the electro-dipcoating or cataphoretic painting process. In order to relieve the LV system from harmonic impact, these rectifiers are preferably supplied directly from the MV system via separate transformers. As important as the observance of the permissible compatibility levels for harmonic contents according to DIN EN 61000-2-4 (VDE 0839 Parts 24): 2003-05 is the strict fulfillment of safety-of-supply requirements set by the painting process itself.

The current harmonic whereby v = 3 is particularly distinctive.

This includes the uninterruptible handling of the single fault by a protective disconnection of the fault location from supply. Cast-resin transformers at the TS station provide an instantaneous standby or “hot” redundancy to handle such single faults. In addition, a standby supply is provided for sensitive and fail-critical consumers.

Final assembly The connected power of the consumers in the final car assembly is relatively low as compared to the nominal power of the supplying transformers. For this reason, the maximum power demand of all consumers in the grid is important for system rating. Power demand is largely influenced by the simultaneity factor g, the degree of utilization a, the power factor cos ϕ and the efficiency η. In the final assembly plant section, a large proportion of the nonlinear consumers is single-phase con-

The load center network in combination with a TN system consisting of busbar trunking systems is the ideal network configuration for the power supply of production halls in an automotive manufacturing plant. Low-resistant neutral point grounding is most advantageous for MV system operation. An EMC-suitable LV system with a continuously de-energized protective conductor (PE) must be designed as TN-S system. Currently, there is no binding standard for the design of a multiple-infeed LV system as TN-S system. There is only a unanimously optimum solution for the design and operation of the supply networks. The rating of the supply networks for the processes handled in the production halls results in engineering differences such as the number and size of the supplying transformers and the method of compensation.

5 Transformers Transformers are one of the primary components for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Their design mainly results from the range of application, construction, rated power and voltage level. The scope of transformer types extends from generator transformers to distribution transformers. Distribution transformers are within the range from 50 to 2,500 kVA and max. 36 kV. In the last stage, they distribute the electrical energy to the consumers by feeding from the highvoltage into the low-voltage distribution network. These are designed either as liquid-filled or as dry-type transformers. Transformers with a rated power up to 2.5 MVA and a voltage up to 36 kV are referred to as distribution transformers; all transformers of higher ratings are classified as power transformers.

Electrical Design Power ratings and type of cooling All power ratings in this guide are the product of rated voltage (noload voltage times phase-factor for three-phase transformers) and rated current of the line side winding (at center tap, if several taps are provided), expressed in kVA or MVA, as defined in IEC 60076-1. If only one power rating and no cooling method are shown, natural oil-air cooling (ONAN or OA) is implied for oilimmersed transformers. If two ratings are shown, forced-air cooling (ONAF or FA) in one or two steps is applicable.
In accordance with IEC 60076, the standard temperature rise for oil-immersed power and distribution transformers is: C 65 K (average winding temperature measured by the resistance method) C 60 K maximum oil temperature (measured by thermometer) The standard temperature rise for Siemens cast-resin transformers is C 100 K (insulation class F) at HV and LV winding.

Whereby the standard ambient temperatures are defined as follows: C 40 °C maximum temperature, C 30 °C average on any one day, C 20 °C average in any one year, C –25 °C lowest temperature outdoors, C –5 °C lowest temperature indoors. Higher ambient temperatures require a corresponding reduction in temperature rise, and thus affect price or rated power as follows: C 1.5% surcharge for each 1 K above standard temperature conditions, or C 1.0% reduction of rated power for each 1 K above standard temperature conditions.
These adjustment factors are applicable up to 15 K above standard temperature conditions. Altitude of installation The transformers are suitable for operation at altitudes up to 1000 metres above sea level. Site altitudes above 1000 m necessitate the use of special designs. For every 100 m above the permissible altitude of installation, the rated power for oil-immersed transformers is to be reduced by approx. 0.4% and for drytype transformers for approx. 0.5%.

Transformer losses and efficiencies Losses and efficiencies stated in this manual are average values for guidance only. They are applicable if no loss evaluation figure is stated in the inquiry (see following chapter) and they are subject to the tolerances stated in IEC 60076-1, namely +10% of the total losses, or +15% of each component loss, provided that the tolerance for the total losses is not exceeded. If optimized and/or guaranteed losses without tolerances are required, this must be stated in the inquiry. Connections and vector groups Distribution transformers The transformers listed in this manual are all three-phase transformers with one set of windings connected in star (wye) and the other one in delta, whereby the neutral of the star-connected winding is fully rated and brought to the outside. The primary winding (HV) is normally connected in delta, the secondary winding (LV) in wye. The electrical offset of the windings in respect to each other is either 30, 150 or 330 degrees standard (Dy1, Dy5, Dy11).

Test voltages
Routine and special tests
Power-frequency withstand voltages and lightning-impulse withstand voltages are in accordance with IEC 60076-3, Paragraph 5, Table II, as follows:
All transformers are subjected to the following routine tests in the factory: C Measurement of winding resistance C Measurement of voltage ratio and check of polarity or vector group C Measurement of impedance voltage C Measurement of load loss C Measurement of no-load loss and no-load current C Induced overvoltage withstand test (windings test) C Separate-source voltage withstand test (AC test voltage) C Partial discharge test (only GEAFOL cast-resin transformers).
Conversion to 60 Hz – possibilities All ratings in the selection tables of this guide are based on 50 Hz operation. For 60 Hz operation, the following options apply: C Rated power and impedance voltage are increased by 10%, all other parameters remain identical. C Rated power increases by 20%, but no-load losses increase by 30% and noise level increases by 3 dB, all other parameters remain identical (this layout is not possible for cast-resin transformers). C All technical data remain identical, price is reduced by 5%. C Temperature rise is reduced by 10 K, load losses are reduced by 15%, all other parameters remain identical. Overloading Overloading of Siemens transformers is guided by the relevant IEC 60354 “Loading guide for oil-immersed transformers” and the (similar) ANSI C57.92 “Guide for loading mineral-oilimmersed power transformers.” Overloading of GEAFOL cast-resin transformers according to IEC 60905 "Loading guide."

The sharply increased costs of electrical energy have made it almost mandatory for buyers of electrical machinery to carefully evaluate the inherent losses of this equipment. In case of distribution and power transformers, which operate continuously and most frequently in loaded condition, this is especially important. As an example, the added cost of lossoptimized transformers can in most cases be counterbalanced by savings in power consumption in less than three years.

Low-loss transformers use more and better materials for their construction, therefore their purchase price is higher. By stipulating loss evaluation figures in the transformer enquiry, the manufacturer receives the necessary information to offer a loss-optimized transformer rather than the low-cost model. Detailed loss evaluation methods for transformers have been developed and are described accurately in the literature, taking the project-specific evaluation factors of a given customer into account.

The TUMETIC transformer is always completely filled with oil; oil expansion is taken up by the flexible corrugated steel tank (variable volume tank design), whereby the maximum
operating pressure remains at only a fraction of the usual. These transformers are always shipped completely filled with oil and sealed for their lifetime. Bushings can be exchanged from the outside without draining the oil below the top of the active part. The hermetically sealed system prevents oxygen, nitrogen, or humidity from contact with the insulating oil. This improves the ageing properties of the oil to the extent that no maintenance is required on these transformers for their lifetime. Generally, the TUMETIC transformer is lower than the TUNORMA®transformer. This design has been in successful service since 1973. A special TUMETIC protection device has been developed for this transformer. TUNORMA distribution transformers with conservator This is the standard distribution transformer design in all ratings. The oil level in the tank and the top-mounted bushings is kept constant by a conservator vessel or expansion tank mounted at the highest point of the transformer. Oil level changes due to thermal cycling affect the conservator only. The ambient air is prevented from direct contact with the insulating oil through oil traps and dehydrating breathers.

For load losses (Pk), three different listings (A, B and C) were specified. There were also three listings (A’, B’ and C’) for no-load losses (P0) and corresponding sound levels. Due to the different requirements, pairs of values were proposed which, in the national standard, permit one or several combinations of losses. DIN 42500 specifies the combinations A-C’, C-C’ and B-A’ as being most suitable. The combinations B-A’ (normal losses) and A-C’ (reduced losses) are approximately in line with previous standards. In addition, there is the C-C’ combination. Transformers of this kind with additionally reduced impedance especially economical (maximum efficiency > 99%). The higher costs of these transformers are counteracted by the energy savings which they make.

GEAFOL cast-resin dry-type transformer
GEAFOL Cast-Resin Dry-Type Transformers Standards and regulations GEAFOL cast-resin dry-type transformers comply with IEC 60076-11, CENELEC HD 464, HD 538 and DIN 42523.
Advantages and applications GEAFOL distribution and power transformers in ratings from 100 to approx. 40,000 kVA and LI values of over 200 kV are full substitutes for oil-immersed transformers with comparable electrical and mechanical data.
insulating materials are used throughout, so that all restrictions applying to oil-filled electrical equipment, such as oil-collecting pits, fire walls, fire-extinguishing equipment, etc., are omitted.
GEAFOL transformers are designed for indoor installation close to their point of use, which is often at the load center. Flame-retardant inorganic

GEAFOL transformers are also installed where oil-filled transformers must not be used: inside buildings, in tunnels, on ships, on offshore cranes and platforms, in wind power stations, in groundwater protection areas, in food processing plants etc. Often they are combined with their primary and secondary switchgear and distribution boards into compact substations that are installed directly at their point of use. As converter transformers for variable-speed drives they can be installed together with the converters at the drive location. This reduces civil works, cable costs, transmission losses, and installation costs. GEAFOL transformers are fully LIrated. They have similar noise levels to comparable oil-filled transformers. Taking the above indirect cost reductions into account, they are also frequently cost-competitive.

Transformers
HV winding The high-voltage windings are wound from aluminum foil, interleaved with high-grade polypropylene insulating foil. The assembled and connected individual coils are placed in a heated mold, and are potted in a vacuum furnace with a mixture of pure silica (quartz sand) and specially blended epoxy resins. The only connections to the outside are copper bushings, which are internally bonded to the aluminum winding connections. The external star or delta connections are made of insulated copper connectors to ensure an optimal installation design. The resulting high-voltage windings are fire-resistant, moistureproof, corrosion-proof, and show excellent ageing properties under all indoor operating conditions. For outdoor use, specially designed sheet-metal enclosures are available. The foil windings combine a simple winding technique with a high degree of electrical safety. The insulation is subjected to less electrical stress than in other types of windings. In a conventional round-wire winding, the interturn voltage can add up to twice the interlayer voltage, while in a foil winding it never exceeds the voltage per turn because a layer consists of only one winding turn. Result: a high AC voltage and impulse-voltage withstand capacity.
Why aluminum? The thermal expansion coefficients of aluminum and cast-resin are so similar that thermal stresses resulting from load changes are kept to a minimum (see Fig. 5/5). LV winding The standard low-voltage winding with its considerably reduced dielectric stress is wound from single aluminum sheets with interleaved castresin impregnated fiberglass fabric. The assembled coils are then ovencured to form uniformly bonded solid cylinders that are impervious to moisture. Through the single-sheet winding design, excellent dynamic stability under short-circuit conditions is achieved. Connections are submerged-arc-welded to the aluminum sheets and are extended as aluminum busbars to the secondary terminals. Fire safety GEAFOL transformers use only flame-retardant and self-extinguishing materials in their construction. No additional substances, such as aluminum oxide trihydrate, which could negatively influence the mechanical stability of the cast-resin molding material, are used. Internal arcing from electrical faults and externally applied flames do not cause the transformers to burst or burn. After the source of ignition is removed, the transformer is self-extinguishing.
This design has been approved by fire safety officers in many countries for installation in buildings where people are generally present and in other areas. The environmental safety of the combustion residues has been proven in many tests. Categorization of cast-resin transformers Dry-type transformers have to be categorized under the sections listed below: C Environmental category C Climatic category C Fire category These categories have to be shown on the rating plate of each dry-type transformer. Product conformity to the properties laid down in the standards for ratings within the approximate category relating to environment, humidity, climate and fire behavior has to be proven by means of tests. These tests are described for the environmental category (code number E0, E1 and E2) and for the climatic category (code number C1, C2) in DIN VDE 0532, Part 6 (corresponding to HD 464). According to this standard, they are to be carried out on complete transformers. The tests of fire behavior (fire class code numbers F0 and F1) are limited to tests on a duplication of a complete transformer. It consists of a core leg, a low-voltage winding and a high-voltage winding. The specifications for fire class F2 are determined by agreement between the manufacturer and the customer.

ing temperatures are not exceeded for extended periods of time. Temperature monitoring Each GEAFOL transformer is fitted with three temperature sensors which are installed in the LV winding. Solid-state tripping devices can be supplied separately on order. The PTC thermistors used for sensing are selected for the hot-spot winding temperature. Additional sets of sensors can be installed for them and for fan control purposes. Additional dialtype thermometers and Pt100 are available too. Special versions can be provided for 3.6 kV operating voltages of the LV winding and higher. Auxiliary wiring is run in a protective conduit and terminated in a central LV terminal box (optional). Each wire and terminal is identified and a wiring diagram is permanently attached to the inside cover of this terminal box. Photo 5/13 Flammability test of cast-resin transformer
Siemens has carried out a lot of tests.
Insulation class and temperature rise
The results for our GEAFOL transformers are something to be proud of: C Environmental category E2 C Climatic category C2 C Fire class F1
The high-voltage winding and the low-voltage winding utilise class F insulating materials with a mean temperature rise of 100 K (standard design).
This good behavior is solely due to the GEAFOL cast-resin mix which has been used successfully for decades.
5/20
Overload capability GEAFOL transformers can be overloaded permanently up to 50% (with a corresponding increase in impedance voltage and impedance losses) if additional cross-flow fans are installed. (Dimensions increase by approximately 200 mm in length and width.) Short-time overloads are uncritical as long as the maximum wind-

Installation and enclosures Indoor installation in electrical operating rooms or in various protective enclosures is the preferred method of installation. The transformers need to be protected against direct sunlight, sandstorms and against water. Sufficient ventilation must be provided by the installation location or the enclosure. Otherwise forced-air cooling must be provided by other equipment.

Photo 5/14 GEAFOL transformer with plugtype cable connections
Instead of the standard open terminals, insulated plug-type elbow connectors can be supplied for the highvoltage side with LI ratings up to 170 kV. Primary cables are usually fed to the transformer from trenches below, but can also be connected from above. Secondary connections can be made by multiple insulated cables or by busbars, from either below or above. Secondary terminals are aluminum flat pad connections with bores. A variety of indoor and outdoor enclosures in different safety classes are available for the transformers alone, or for indoor compact substations in conjunction with high- and low-voltage switchgear cabinets.

Recycling of GEAFOL transformers In GEAFOL cast-resin transformer types, the high-voltage and low-voltage coils form firm tubes owing to electrical and mechanical advantages and production-specific requirements. In order to recycle these valuable materials, these parts can normally be removed and post-processed with little effort, once the upper clamping structure has been dismantled and the top core yoke has been pulled out. It is common practice to recycle the main mass portions consisting of iron core, frame and truck.

6 Low Voltage One important element of the Totally Integrated Power philosophy for power distribution by Siemens (see Chapter 3) is its comprehensive protection scheme. Especially in commercial or institutional buildings, in industry and in infrastructural projects, i.e. in production sites and administrative buildings, the highest safety requirements for systems and persons have to be met. Examples for this are airports or railway stations. Only an integrated protection scheme with systems and products from one manufacturer, with a guaranteed uniform quality standard, based on national and international standards, provides this high safety level. A protection system whose components are coordinated in an optimal way has been part of the Siemens product philosophy for a long time. These products that stand for reliable Siemens high-performance technology have been included in the Totally Integrated Power system. The result is an integrated protection scheme from the main distribution board to the consumer. The high reliability and availability of the system ensures a faultless operation on an economical basis. The components have been certified in accordance with all international standards and can therefore be used all over the world. As a leading manufacturer of technology, Siemens is setting new standards with respect to safety.

strict discrimination features. Therefore, the manufacturer and the operator use different terms for the same product. In most cases, the operator’s type of application will be decisive for the designation. Main or subdistribution board In order to prevent these problems with regard to the definition of terms, only the two terms “main distribution board” and ”subdistribution board” are used to give an example of a low-voltage system in an industrial plant (Table 6/2). Here, the main distribution board is supplied directly via one transformer per busbar section. The downstream motor control centers, control systems, distribution boards for lighting, heating, air conditioning, workshops, etc., which are again supplied by the main distribution board, are part of the subdistribution boards. Point-to-point distribution board ”Point-to-point distribution board” is the designation for all switchgear and distribution boards which supply the electrical energy radially via cables and leads from the ”point-to-point” distribution board to the remotely arranged consumers. The necessary switching, protective and measuring devices are combined centrally in the switchgear or distribution board for that.
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
Busbars (point-to-point distribution) With ”busbar trunking systems”, power is transmitted to the immediate vicinity of the consumers. The consumers are connected to the busbar trunking system via tap-off units with or without fuse protection and short spur lines or cables. Busbar trunking systems supply and distribute electrical power in industrial facilities and buildings. Tap-off units can be installed at suitable positions in the trunking, which makes these systems most suitable for consumers which need to be reinstalled at different locations frequently. They are also used as rising mains in high-rise buildings to supply the floor distribution boards. Busbar trunking systems can communicate. In these applications, the tapoff units include the appropriate communications equipment in addition to the required protective devices. In this combination, power distribution and automation are implemented in an object-oriented, decentralized manner. Types of construction All distribution boards in accordance with IEC 60 439; EN 60 439 in a locally preferred type in accordance with DIN/VDE, NF/CEI and BS.

6.1.1 SIVACON 8PS – Busbar Trunking Systems What are busbar trunking systems? Busbar trunking systems are the linking element between transformer and power consumer. They are used for power transmission and distribution. The new SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking system is a well proven system and the market leader in its field. It covers a current range of 25 A to 6,300 A, meaning it is suitable for any given application. The system is divided into 6 subsystems: CD-K (25 A – 40 A) BD01 (40 A – 160 A) BD2 (160 A – 1,250 A) LD (1,100 A – 5,000 A, ventilated) LX (800 A – 6,300 A, sandwich-type) and PEC (800 A – 6,000 A, cast) Power transmission Between the transformer and the low-voltage switchgear, busbar trunking systems transmit electrical power by means of system components. They are installed between the transformers and the main distribution boards, and also connect the subdistribution boards, including the feeder lines for power distribution to the consumer locations – busbar trunking systems with flexible tap-off units are used here. Busbar trunking systems are increasingly replacing connecting cables in the field of power transmission. With high currents in particular, cables must be connected in parallel. Owing to the high short-circuit power and resulting short distances of cable sup-

ports, this type of cable laying is both costly and time-consuming, not to mention problematic on account of the imbalanced power distribution. Moreover, the installation of cable trays is expensive, too. In contrast to this, busbar trunking systems are power transmission systems which constitute a type-tested system even when used as combined systems. They have been properly designed for this task as specified in their technical data. They can be used economically and ensure safe and reliable power transmission. Busbar trunking systems have proved their worth in power transmission over decades. Today, they are the first choice in this field of application, with almost no other system being a real alternative.

Power distribution In terms of pictorial projection, busbar trunking systems are an elongated busbar system (line distribution) of a point-to-point distribution board. Here, individual consumer taps are no longer connected rigidly to the system of busbars, as is the case with point-to-point distribution, but can be flexibly adjusted to changing tasks via appropriate tap-off units. This adjustment can be carried out as required within a system-related grid. This way, a variable line distribution system is created for line supply and/or area-wide power supply. The traditional, radial power installation with fixed wired cables and lines is no longer up to the state of the art. It is far too rigid for automated production sites. Cable laying in ducts, on trays, in walls or ceilings is an impediment to flexibility requirements.

Readjustment made easy Readjustments are indispensable in modern production sites, in particular in automated production. Rearrangements of machinery and restructuring of existing plant facilities call for a flexible adjustment of the power supply installation systems. Busbar trunking systems are particularly geared to these requirements. An area-wide power supply can be planned ahead. When modifications have been scheduled, the consumer tap-off units are taken to the new location of the machinery and simply readjusted at the existing system of busbars. Even completely new supply lines can be built up by reutilizing existing system components. This makes busbar trunking system an interesting investment into the future.

Control of supply with the BD01 system
Retrofitting and re-equipping without interrupting the production process is not only important for a continuous supply of electricity, but is also crucial for production sites that work in multi-shifts around the clock. Here, an interruption is only feasible, if at all, in very narrow time slots. Any modification must be achievable quickly and cost-saving. Consumer tap-off units must therefore be designed that allow for power tapping, relocation and extension under voltage, i.e. with a busbar track that has not been isolated from supply. This way, expensive interruptions of operation are avoided.
Communication-capable busbar trunking systems The growing requirements to the economic efficiency, flexibility and transparency of automated systems for building power supply and industrial applications make the trend towards decentralized power distribution and automation an irreversible process. In this electrifying context, intelligent power distribution concepts open up new savings potential and reduce the number of interfaces to the automation world.
SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems supply and protect consumers in a distributed manner, which means right on the spot. A recent development is the concept of combined, decentralized power distribution and distributed automation – in an integrated range of products: system networking results in a high degree of transparency on the one hand, and in central processing of recorded consumption and operating data on the other hand.

The concept of communication-capable busbar trunking systems is based on tap-off units which are complemented by communication-capable device units. The bus systems PROBUS-DP, AS-Interface and instabus EIB constitute the communications basis. These flexible modules enable the combination of different solution packages for specific customer requirements. Short planning and configuration times, fast installation of the power distribution and automation system, easy commissioning and a high degree of flexibility in terms of modified area utilization are measurable advantages of communication-capable busbar trunking systems.

Introduction Low-voltage switchgear forms the link between the equipment for the generation (generators), transmission (cables, overhead lines) and transformation (transformers) of electrical energy on the one hand, and the consumers, e.g. motors, solenoid valves, actuators and devices for heating, lighting and air conditioning on the other hand. Since the majority of the applications is supplied with low voltage, the lowvoltage switchgear is especially important both for public supply systems and for industrial plants. The prerequisite for a reliable supply system is high availability, flexibility for process-related adaptations and high control and operating reliability of the switchgear. The power distribution in a system is usually implemented via a main switchgear station (power center or main distribution board) and a number of sub- or motor control centers (see Fig. 6/5).
SIVACON 8PV for the process industry The SIVACON® 8PV low-voltage switchgear is an economical, demand- meeting and type-tested switchgear assembly (see Photo 6/14) which is used in power distribution, in the chemical, mineral oil and capital goods industry as well as in public and private buildings. It is characterized by a high degree of personnel and system safety and can be used on all power levels up to 6,300 A: C as main switchgear (power center or main distribution board) C as motor control center C as subdistribution board
All modules used are type-tested (TTA*), i.e. they comply with the requirements of C IEC 60439-1 C DIN EN 60439-1 C VDE 0660 Part 500 and additionally C DIN EN 50274 (VDE 0660 Part 514), IEC 61641, VDE 0660 Part 500 Supplement 2 (arcing fault), DIN EN ISO 9001/14001 certification.
Thanks to the many options to combine SIVACON 8PV boards due to their modular design, all requirements can be met with fixed-mounted and plug-in as well as with withdrawable designs.

Circuit-breaker design The circuit-breaker panels have separate functional areas for the device compartment, cross-wiring compartment and cable/busbar connection compartment (Photo 6/15). The cross-wiring compartment is located above the device compartment, the cable/busbar connection compartment below. Supply from above results in a mirror-image arrangement. The panel width is determined by the rated current of the SENTRON WL circuit-breaker (Table 6/5).

from supply (Photo 6/16).
If requirements change frequently, as often demanded by industrial processes, such as changes in the motor power or switching new consumers into supply, a withdrawable circuit-breaker technology offers the optimum for plant availability.
Withrawable units equipped with the communication-capable SIMOCODE motor protection and control units enable a cost-effective interfacing to the worlds of automation.
Consumer or motor feeders can be replaced or whole compartments can even be rearranged without that the switchgear must be disconnected
These withdrawable units are available in sizes 1/4 (11 kW), 1/2 (18.5 kW), 1 (37 kW), 2 (75 kW) 3 (160 kW), 4 (250 kW).

In such cases, the fixed-mounted design (Photo 6/18) offers excellent economy, high reliability and sufficient flexibility. Modular functional units can be combined in the panel as required and if necessary, they can easily be replaced once the equipment has been disconnected from supply. Reactive power compensation Depending on the type of load, choked or non-choked control units (i.e. with or without reactors) are provided for reactive power compensation. Depending on the power installed and the ambient temperature, it may be necessary to mount a fan assembly (reinforcement of convection). The capacitor units are designed with fuse switch-disconnectors (Photo 6/19).

6.1.8 SMS Rapid Wiring System Application As the components of the SMS Universal rapid wiring system are already pre-assembled at the factory, the system provides rapid and efficient wiring in ceiling plenums, hollow walls, cellular floors as well as in ductings for electrical installations. It facilitates the installation at the construction site and saves time and costs. Since all of the cables are equipped with plug-in connectors at the connection and distribution points, the installation of a line network is completely flexible; the installation can be designed, modified or retrofitted simply by plugging in the components.
In contrast to conventional electrical installations, it is no longer necessary to cut the cables to length, to strip them and to make the terminal connections at the construction site. You only have to make the initial connections of the system infeed. Plugging in saves considerable installation time. Compared to conventional installations, this system is less expensive. Furthermore, there is no waste and the cables can always be used again for later modifications. Depending on the requirements and the application intended, the SMS Universal rapid wiring system is available for many types of application: C For the installation of luminaires, e.g. in false ceilings, operated via conventional switches/pushbuttons C For the installation of shielded contact outlets in sill-type trunkings
C For installations in false and cellular floors, skirting-boards, furniture ... C Temporary design installations, trade fairs, camping ... Supply connection System power is supplied via a feeder, for example NYM 5 x 2.5 mm2, 230/400 V or 3 x 2.5 mm2, 230 V. The 5-pole first connection with strain relief (socket version) is designed for screw connection. Solid or stranded conductors of 1.5 to 2.5 mm2 can be connected. The 3-pole first connection with strain relief can be made with screwless terminals. Solid conductors of 1.5 to 2.5 mm2 or finely stranded ones of 1.5 mm2 with end sleeves can be connected.

Extension cables They consist of 3-, 4- or 5-pole prefabricated cables similar to H05VV-F, with factory-crimped plug and socket. They are available in standard lengths (2, 4, 6 and 8 m).
On the upper half of the housing, you will find the identification of the conductors, for example: for the 5-pole plug-in connector 1, 2, 3, N, and the grounding sign U. The construction of the plug-in connector guarantees non-interchangeability so that it is impossible to connect other plug-in systems.
Connecting cables 3 x 1.5 mm2/2.5 mm2 They consist of a 3-pole pre-fabricated H05VV-F cable, with factorycrimped plug or socket and free ultrasonically compacted core ends for further fabrication.
Distribution blocks It is possible to through-connect and branch off to the electricity consumers via plug-in distribution blocks with one incoming and several outgoing terminals. 2 x 5-pole and 6 x 3-pole distribution blocks are suitable for 5-pole through-wiring and have 3-pole outgoing terminals. The 5-pole through-wiring is marked as phase conductor with the terminal designation 1, 2, 3. The N conductor is a leading conductor with regard to the phase conductors, the PE conductor in turn is a leading conductor with regard to the N conductor. The outgoing terminals are designed as socket parts (coupling). With the exception of the T-distribution, every 3- and 5-pole distribution block has an integrated provision for fixing. T-distributors are suitable for 3-pole through-wiring of luminaires, for example, and have two outgoing 3-pole conductors.

6.2 Circuit-Breaker Devices and Fuse Systems Due to increasingly complex processes, safety for human beings and machines is becoming more and more important. Siemens circuitbreaker devices and fuse systems provide optimum prerequisites for complete system protection and thus for safe and reliable operation in modern power supply systems. The demands on electrical power supply in industry, residential and functional buildings are increasing. The demand for more comfort is combined with the desire for improved security and reduced downtimes. Only perfectly adjusted components and products from a single source, i.e. with the guarantee of a uniform quality standard based on national and international regulations and standards can ensure this high safety level. The high reliability and availability of the individual components, and thus the whole system, ensures an economic and fault-free operation for many years.

This is only possible if all individual products and systems are well coordinated and are able to exchange important information. This is carried out via a device-internal bus interface or by mountable accessories and binary inputs. Individual system components Circuit-breakers are responsible for the protection against overload and short circuits in systems, motors, generators and transformers when faults occur. They can also be used as incoming and outgoing feeder circuits in distribution boards as well as main and EMERGENCY STOP switches in connection with lockable rotary operating mechanisms. The SENTRON 3VL circuit-breakers can be used in every country all over the world and work reliably in accordance with every electrical standard. Thanks to their modular design and modular accessories, they can be easily adjusted to changing requirements at any time. Via PROFIBUS-DP, they can also be connected to a power management system.

Personnel protection and fire protection with residual-currentoperated circuit-breakers Personnel protection Damages to the insulation might result in fault states which require additional measures according to DIN VDE 0100 against excessive shock currents. Siemens residual-currentoperated circuit-breakers provide optimum protection against hazardous shock currents in case of indirect contact, and the best possible protection in case of direct contact (with rated fault current ≤ 30 mA). Fire protection Short circuits and ground faults are especially fire-hazardous if relatively high resistances occur in the fault circuit at the arc. A fault clearance by line-side overcurrent protective devices such as fuses or circuit-breakers is not always guaranteed at relatively low currents. In combination with oxygen or air, a thermal load of only 60 W might lead to an ignition. Here too, the residual-current-operated circuit-breaker with a rated fault current of ≤ 300 mA ensures extensive protection.

Cable and line protection with circuit-breakers and fuses Due to their excellent product features and the fact that the product range is optimally designed for the wide range of applications in the fields of industry, or commercial, institutional and residential buildings, Siemens circuit-breakers and fuses provide the best conditions for protecting cables and lines against overload and short circuit. The new 5SY circuit-breaker product range with its components based on the complete breaker range for all important functions really offers you many advantages, e.g., increased operator safety, installation safety and extremely reduced installation times.
System protection The well coordinated combination of circuit-breakers, fuses, miniature circuit-breakers and residual-current-operated circuit-breakers ensures comprehensive system protection as regards short-circuit, overload and fire protection. Moreover, the coordinated use of lightning current and surge arresters can protect the electrical system against overvoltages resulting from electrostatic discharges, switching overvoltages and overvoltages caused by strikes of lightning. Matching all individual components ensures optimum system protection in all areas of application. This prevents damage to increasingly expensive and sensitive devices and systems.
The circuit-breaker product range is rounded off by mountable residualcurrent-operated circuit-breaker blocks which integrate the residualcurrent protective function into the device as a whole.
Disconnecting and isolating The available disconnectors guarantee a safe isolation of downstream system components and devices. They are used, for example, as EMERGENCY STOP and repair switches in distribution boards. Thus, personnel protection has highest priority. In the open position they comply with the conditions determined for disconnection.

SIRIUS 3RV Circuit-Breakers Areas of application 3RV1 circuit-breakers are compact, current-limiting circuit-breakers optimized for load feeders. The circuitbreakers are used for switching and protecting AC motors up to 45 kW at 400 V AC or for other loads with rated currents up to 100 A. Product range The circuit-breakers are available in 4 sizes: C Size S00 – 45 mm wide, max. rated current 12 A, at 400 V AC suitable for AC motors up to 5.5 kW C Size S0 – 45 mm wide, max. rated current 25 A, at 400 V AC suitable for AC motors up to 11 kW C Size S2 – 55 mm wide, max. rated current 50 A, at 400 V AC suitable for AC motors up to 22 kW C Size S3 – 70 mm wide, max. rated current 100 A, at 400 V AC suitable for AC motors up to 45 kW

Operating conditions The 3RV1 circuit-breakers are climateproof. They are designed for indoor operation in which there are no severe operating conditions (e.g. dust, corrosive vapors, destructive gases). For installation in dusty and damp rooms, suitable encapsulations have to be provided. The 3RV circuit-breakers can be power supplied from the bottom or top. The permissible ambient temperatures, maximum switching capacity, tripping currents and other boundary conditions for the application are to be found in the technical data and tripping characteristics. The 3RV1 circuit-breakers are suitable for use in IT systems (IT networks). The different short-circuit breaking capacity in the IT system has to be observed for that.

Since the operational currents, starting currents and current peaks can even be different in motors with the same power rating due to the inrush current that is present, the motor power values given in the selection tables are only guide values. Decisive for the correct selection of circuit-breakers is always the precise starting and rating data for the motor to be protected. The same applies to the circuit-breakers for transformer protection. Areas of application The tripping characteristics of the 3RV10 /3RV11 circuit-breakers are mainly designed for the protection of AC motors. The circuit-breakers are therefore also called motor circuitbreakers. The rated current In of the motor to be protected is to be set on the setting scale. The factory setting of the short-circuit release is a value thirteen times the rated current of the circuit-breaker. This ensures a trouble-free start-up and safe protection of the motor. The phase-failure sensitivity of the circuit-breaker ensures that the circuit-breaker is tripped in time in case of the failure of a phase and the resulting overcurrents in the other phases. Circuit-breakers with thermal overload releases are usually designed in tripping class 10 (CLASS 10). The circuit-breakers of sizes S2 and S3 are also available in tripping class 20 (CLASS 20), thus making the start-up of motors under aggravated start-up conditions possible.

Motor protection with overload relay function (automatic reset) The circuit-breakers for motor protection with overload relay function are designed for the protection of AC motors. They have the same short-circuit release and overload release as the circuit-breakers for motor protection without overload relay function. The circuit-breaker always remains active in the case of an overload. The overload release just activates two auxiliary contacts (1NC + 1NO). Overload tripping can be signaled to a higherlevel controller via the auxiliary contacts. It is also possible to directly deactivate a downstream contactor. The overload signal is reset automatically. The circuit-breaker itself only trips in case of a downstream short circuit. System protection The 3RV10 / 3RV11 circuit-breakers for motor protection are also suitable for system protection. In order to prevent premature trippings due to the phase-failure sensitivity, the three current paths are always to be loaded uniformly. With single-phase loads, the current paths are to be connected in series. Transformer protection The 3RV14 circuit-breakers are also suitable for transformer protection. Due to the high excitation values for the instantaneous short-circuit release of >20 x In, even high peak inrush currents of the transformers do not lead to trippings upon closure.

C Wide range of matched accessories, especially to enhance shock-hazard protection C Approved in many countries throughout the world Selectivity Usually, several fuses are connected in series in an installation. Selectivity ensures that only the faulted circuit is broken and not the entire process in operation. Siemens fuses of the utilization category gL/gG are interselective in the ratio 1:1.25 at a rated voltage of up to 230 V AC, i.e. from one rated current level to the other. This is due to the fact that the tolerance ranges of ±5% of the time/current characteristics are considerably lower. Here, the requirement of a ratio of 1:1.6 given in the standard is distinctly exceeded. Owing to smaller rated currents, conductor cross-sections can be reduced in size. Utilization categories According to their functions, fuses are divided into utilization categories: the first letter indicates the functional class, the second the object to be protected: 1st letter: Functional class a =ˆ Accompanied fuses: Fuse links which must, at least, continuously conduct currents up to their specified rated current and which must be able to break currents above a specific multiple of the rated current up to the rated breaking current.

Furthermore, DIAZED fuses are marked with the designations ”slow” and ”quick”. These designations are defined in IEC/CEE and DIN VDE. Under short-circuit conditions, the fuse with the ”quick” characteristic interrupts more quickly than one in the utilization class gL/gG. The characteristic ”slow” of the DIAZED fuses for the protection of DC traction systems is particularly suitable for breaking direct currents with a high inductance. Both characteristics can also be used for cable and conductor protection. General-purpose fuses (gL/gG, gR, quick, slow) safely interrupt inadmissible overload and short-circuit currents. Accompanied fuses (aM, aR) are used exclusively for short-circuit protection. The following utilization categories are available in the Siemens product range: gL (DIN VDE)/gG (IEC) =ˆ General-purpose cable and conductor protection aM (DIN VDE/IEC) =ˆ Accompanied switchgear protection aR (DIN VDE/IEC) =ˆ Accompanied semiconductor protection gR (DIN VDE/IEC) =ˆ General-purpose semiconductor protection quick (DIN VDE/IEC/CEE) =ˆ Generalpurpose cable and conductor protection slow (DIN VDE) =ˆ General-purpose cable and conductor protection
Breaking capacity The fuses distinguish themselves with their high rated current breaking capacity and minimum space requirements. The basic requirements and circuit data for tests – voltages, performance factor, switching angle, etc. – are defined in the national (DIN VDE 0636) and international (IEC 60 269) standards. For a consistently safe interruption of any current, ranging from the lowest inadmissible overload current to the highest short-circuit current, many quality features have to be considered during construction and manufacture. For example, besides designing the dimensions, punched profile and position in the fuse body of the fuse element, the resistance to pressure and temperature change of the fuse body as well as the chemical purity, grain size and density of the quartz sand are of great importance.
The rated breaking capacity for AC is 50 kA for NEOZED and most of the DIAZED fuses. For LV HRC fuses it is even 120 kA AC. Current limiting Besides a safe rated breaking capacity, the current limiting effect of a fuse link has a significant impact on the cost-effectiveness of an installation. When a fuse blows because of a short circuit, the short-circuit current continues to be fed into the network until the fuse breaks the circuit. The short-circuit current is only limited by the network impedance. When all of the narrow parts of a fuse element melt at the same time, partial electrical arcs in series result, ensuring that the current is quickly interrupted with significant current limiting. The current limiting, too, is significantly influenced by the manufacturing quality. For Siemens fuses it is excellent. For example, an LV HRC fuse link of size 2 with In = 224 A reduces a short-circuit current with a potential rms value of approx. 50 to a cut-off current with a peak value of approx. 18 kA.

This strong current limitation protects the system from excessive load at all time. Fuse assignment for cable and conductor protection When assigning fuses to cable and conductor protection against overload, the following requirements have to be met in accordance with DIN VDE 0100, Part 430: (1) IB ≤ In ≤ Iz (Nominal current rule) (2) I2 ≤ 1.45 x In (Tripping rule) IB: Circuit operating current In: Rated current of the selected protective device

I z:
Permissible current load capacity under given operating conditions I2: Tripping current of protective device under specified conditions (”high test current”). In the meantime, factor 1.45 is an internationally accepted compromise between utilization and level of protection for a conductor when considering the interrupting performance of the possible protective device (e.g. fuses). Siemens fuse links of the utilization category gL/gG meet the following requirement in accordance with the supplementary sections of DIN VDE 0636:
”Interruption with I2 = 1.45 x In for the conventional test duration under specific test conditions according to the supplementary sections of DIN VDE 0636”. Rated power loss The cost-effectiveness of a fuse depends considerably on the rated power loss. This should be kept as low as possible and only manifest a low self-heating characteristic. However, when evaluating the intrinsic losses of a fuse, the physical interdependence between the rated breaking capacity and rated power losses should be taken into consideration. In order to achieve a low resistance value, the fuse element should be as thick as possible. To ensure a high rated breaking capacity, however, a thin fuse element is required. Considering the high breaking safety, Siemens fuses have the lowest possible rated loss.

These values lie far below the limits specified in the relevant regulations. This means minimal heating, safe breaking capacity and high cost-effectiveness.

Load capacity at higher ambient temperatures According to DIN VDE 0636, the course of the time/current characteristics of NEOZED/DIAZED and LV HRC fuses refers to an ambient temperature of 20°C ± 5°C. When used at higher ambient temperatures of 50°C, the fuse should be loaded with 90% of the rated current. The short-circuit breaking capacity is not affected by higher ambient temperatures. Application examples Fuses are primarily used to protect cables and conductors against overload and short-circuit currents regardless of the current’s strength, and they are also suited to protect equipment and devices.

Fuses are used in a wide range of applications, extending from residential installations to installations in commercial buildings and from industrial installations to installations in power supply companies. The MINIZED switch-disconnector allows NEOZED fuse links to be replaced in no-voltage conditions, and the safe switching of overload and short-circuit currents of up to 50 kA.

Environmental protection Environmental protection is a continuing task for modern industrial society and demands action! Environmentally compatible recycling of LV HRC/HV HRC fuses National and global environmental problems – for example, changes in the climate and the atmosphere of the earth, the destruction of the ozone layer, the deterioration of the ground and water resources, problems in dealing with waste and raw materials – have all proven the necessity of common action. The recycling law, which was enacted in Germany at the end of 1996, requires companies to recycle materials and thus to save resources. Industry is requested to be aware of its responsibility – also towards future generations – and to take the initiative. We, as a manufacturer of low-voltage and high-voltage HRC fuses, are aware of this responsibility and are determined to focus more than ever on protecting the environment and taking care of our natural resources. Initiated by Siemens AG, various German manufacturers of LV/HV HRC fuses have formed a committee ”NH/HH-Recycling e.V.”, which has been recognised as beneficial to common interests. The purpose of this committee is to duly recycle fuse links, taking into account the prevailing legal regulations, and in doing so actively contribute to the protection of the environment and natural resources.

How are fuses recycled in Germany? Only LV HRC and HV HRC fuse links will be accepted for recycling, without packaging. Euro pallet boxes are available from your wholesaler. If you accumulate large quantities of old fuses, you can also have a Euro pallet box on your premises. For further information, contact your regional Siemens sales office. The disconnected fuse links are completely melted down by an officially certified recycler. The silver and copper gained are put back into the materials cycle. Residues such as inorganic waste are used, for example, in road and dam building. Profits made herewith will be assigned to environmental research for public interest by the ”NH/HH-Recycling e.V.” committee. The fuses are labeled with the following symbols

3NP5 fuse switch-disconnectors have a high switching capacity and are able to make, conduct and break the indicated rated current (including a certain degree of overload). If a short circuit occurs, the fuse switch-disconnector must be able to conduct a specified short-circuit current during a predefined time. The switch-disconnector is opened (OFF) and closed (ON) by operating the handle unit. In the ”open position”, it meets the requirements for an isolating function. Overload and short-circuit protection of downstream system components and devices is provided by the size NH00 to NH3 (630 A), LV HRC fuses integrated in the handle unit. Areas of application 3NP5 fuse switch-disconnectors are used in power distribution and infeed for occasional manual switching/isolation of load feeders and cable distribution cabinets. The integrated fuses efficiently protect downstream loads and system components against short circuit and overload. The fuse switch-disconnectors are used in distribution board construction for residential and functional buildings, as well as in industrial switchgear. They protect and switch downstream system components and devices on an all-pole basis. Together with semiconductor fuses

3NJ4/3NJ5 Fuse Switch-Disconnectors, In-Line Type – Isolation and Protection, Compact and Safe in Narrow Design Brief description 3NJ4/ 3NJ5 in-line fuse switch-disconnectors are able to make, conduct and break the rated current (including a certain degree of overload). If a short circuit occurs, the fuse switchdisconnector must be able to conduct a specified short-circuit current during a predefined time. The switch-disconnector is opened (OFF) and closed (ON) by operating the handle unit. In the ”open position”, they meet the requirements for an isolating function. Overload and short-circuit protection of downstream system components and devices is provided by the size NH00 to NH4a (1,250 A), LV HRC fuses integrated in the handle unit. Areas of application 3NJ4/3NJ5 fuse switch-disconnectors are used in power distribution and infeed for occasional manual switching/isolation of load feeders and cable distribution cabinets. The integrated fuses efficiently protect downstream loads and system components against short circuit and overload.
The in-line fuse switch-disconnectors are used in distribution board construction for residential and functional buildings. As a result of the narrow design, they are mainly used in lowvoltage distribution boards, network and transformer substations, and in cable distribution cabinets used in power supply companies and in industry. They protect and switch downstream system components and consumers in one- and all-pole operation. Due to the open isolating gap they are perfectly suited for isolating systems and, thus, for personnel protection. 3NJ4/3NJ5 in-line fuse switch-disconnectors are fed via the 185 mm busbar system, disconnectors of size NH00 via a 100 mm busbar system.

6.2.4 Miniature CircuitBreakers Areas of application Miniature circuit-breakers are mainly used to protect cables and lines against overload and short circuit. Thus, they also protect electrical equipment against overheating according to DIN VDE 0100 Part 430.
Photo 6/60 5SP4 miniature circuit-breaker single-pole
Photo 6/61 5SY miniature circuit-breaker single-pole
Under certain conditions, in accordance with DIN VDE 0100, Part 410, miniature circuit-breakers also ensure protection against hazardous shock currents in case of an excessive touch voltage caused by insulation failures. Further, due to the fixed rated current settings of the miniature circuitbreakers, it is also possible to protect motors in a limited form. For the respective application, different tripping characteristics are available. EN 60 898, DIN VDE 0641 Part 11 and IEC 60 898 are the underlying standards for construction and approval. For application in industry and system engineering, circuit-breakers are supplemented by the following add-on accessories: C C C C C C
Auxiliary circuit switches Fault signal contacts Open-circuit shunt releases Undervoltage releases Remote control RCCB blocks
Photo 6/62 5SY miniature circuit-breaker with versatile additional components
Functional design, mode of operation Circuit-breakers have a time-delayed overload current/time-dependent thermal release (thermal bimetal) for low overcurrents, and an instantaneous electromagnetic release for higher overload and short-circuit currents. The special contact materials ensure a long service life and offer a high level of protection against contact welding.

Due to the ultra-fast separation of the contacts in case of faults and the quick quenching of the arc in the arc chamber, miniature circuit-breakers significantly and safely limit the current when breaking. Generally, the admissible I2t limit values of energy limitation class 3, specified in DIN VDE 0641 Part 11, are underranged by 50%. This guarantees excellent selectivity with the upstream overcurrent protective devices.

6.2.5 Residual-CurrentOperated Circuit-Breakers Protection against hazardous shock currents according to DIN VDE 0100 Part 410 Application C Protection against indirect contact (indirect personnel protection). Protection is provided by disconnecting hazardous high contact voltages caused by a short circuit to exposed conductive parts of equipment. C When using RCCBs with I∆n ≤ 30 mA. extensive protection from direct contact (direct personnel protection) is given – as supplementary protection via disconnection when live parts are touched. Protective action While RCCBs for rated fault current I∆n ≥ 30 mA provide protection against indirect contact, the installation of RCCBs with I∆n ≤ 30 mA provides a high level of supplementary protection against unintentional direct contact with live parts.
Photo 6/67 RCCB 4-pole
Figure 6/15 shows the physiological responses of the human body when current flows through it, classified into current ranges. Current/time values in range 4 are dangerous, as they can initiate heart fibrillation which can result in death. The RCCB tripping range with a rated fault current of 10 mA and 30 mA is indicated. The average release time lies between 10 ms and 30 ms. The admissible tripping time in accordance with DIN VDE 0664 or EN 61 008 or IEC 1008 of max. 0.3 s (300 ms) is not required. Residual-current-operated circuit-breakers with a rated fault current of 10 mA or 30 mA provide reliable protection even if current flows through a person as a result of unintentional direct contact with live parts. This level of protection cannot be achieved by any other comparable means of protection against indirect contact.
Thus, a current can only flow through a human body if two faults are present or if the person accidentally touches live parts. If a person directly touches live parts, two resistances determine the level of the current flowing through the human body, i.e. the internal resistance of the person RM and the local ground leakage resistance RSt (see Fig. 6/17). For the purpose of accident prevention, the worst case must be assumed which means that the local ground leakage resistance is almost zero. The resistance of the human body is dependent on the current path. Measurements resulted, for example, in a resistance of 1000 Ω for a hand-tohand or hand-to-foot current path. A fault voltage of 230 V AC results in a current of 230 mA for a hand-tohand current path.
Wherever RCCBs are used, an appropriate earth terminal must also be provided and connected to all of the equipment and parts of the system.

This may be achieved by a suitable type of equipment or by additional protective measures during the installation. In TN and TT systems, there are therefore RCCBs with a rated fault current of 300 mA maximum additionally requested for “locations exposed to the hazards of fire”. Where resistive faults can cause a fire (e.g. in the case of overhead radiation heatings with surface heating elements), the rated fault current must not exceed 30 mA.

3-pole connection 4-pole RCCBs (Fig. 6/18) can also be used in 3-pole supply networks. In this case, the device must be connected at the terminals 1, 3, 5 and 2, 4, 6 (Fig. 6/18). The functionality of the test facility is only ensured if a jumper is inserted between the terminals 3 and N.
However, if an insulation fault causes a fault current to flow, this balance is disturbed and a residual magnetic field remains in the transformer core. This produces a voltage in the secondary winding, which, via the release and the contact latching mechanism, disconnects the circuit with the insulation fault. This tripping principle works independently of the supply voltage or an auxiliary supply. This is the prerequisite for the high level of protection which RCCBs provide according to IEC/EN 61008 (VDE 0664). Only this ensures that the full protective function of the RCCB is maintained, even in case of a network fault, e.g. if a phase conductor fails or the neutral conductor is interrupted.
Application RCCBs can be used in all three distribution network types (DIN VDE 0100-410) (Fig. 6 /19). In the IT system, a tripping upon the first fault is not required since this can not yet cause a dangerous touch voltage. An insulation monitoring device has to be provided so that the first fault is signaled by an audible or visual signal and the fault cleared as quickly as possible. The tripping is only requested in the case of a second fault. Depending on the grounding, the tripping conditions of the TN orTT system must be observed. The RCCB can also be used as a suitable circuit-breaker here; each current-using equipment must then be equipped with its own RCCB.

We recommend that the functionality of the RCCB is tested after installation and at regular intervals (about twice a year). Furthermore, other standards or regulations (e.g. accident prevention regulations) which specify test intervals must also be met.

Tripping currents for RCCBs
The standards for RCCBs include additional requirements and test specifications for fault currents which become zero or almost zero within one period of the supply frequency. RCCBs which trip on both sinusoidal AC fault currents as well as on pulsating DC fault currents have the symbol .
Three-phase bridge connection 6-pulse L1 L2 L3
Pulse current sensitive RCCBs cannot detect such DC fault currents and cannot trip. Furthermore, this has a negative impact on their tripping function. This is why electrical equipment which generates such fault currents when faults occur may not be operated together with pulse current sensitive RCCBs on electrical supply networks.

RCCBs which additionally trip on smooth DC currents (type B) have the symbol . DC fault currents In industrial electrical equipment, circuits are being increasingly used where smooth DC fault currents or fault currents with a low residual ripple may flow in the event of a fault condition. This is shown in Fig. 6/20 with the example of a piece of electrical equipment with a three-phase rectifier circuit. Electrical equipment includes devices such as frequency converters, medical devices (e.g. x-ray generators, CT systems) and UPS systems.

A protective measure would be protective separation, which, however, can only be implemented using heavy and expensive transformers. A technically optimum and cost-effective solution is obtained by using the new AC/DC sensitive RCCBs. This RCCB type (type B) is specified in DIN EN 50178 (DIN VDE 0160) ”Electronic equipment for use in power installations” . AC/DC sensitive protective device Design The basis for the AC/DC sensitive protective device is a pulse-currentsensitive protective switching unit with a release which operates independently of the line supply, supplemented by an additional unit which senses smooth DC fault currents. Figure 6/21 shows the basic design.
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
The W1 summation current transformer monitors, as before, the electrical system or plant for AC and pulsating fault currents. The summation current transformer W2 senses the smooth DC fault currents, and transmits a disconnection command to release A via electronic unit E when a fault occurs. Operating principle In order to ensure a highly reliable supply, the power for the electronic unit is tapped from all of the three phase conductors and the neutral conductor. Furthermore, it is dimensioned to ensure that the electronics still operate when the voltage is reduced to 70% (e.g. between phase conductors and neutral conductor).

This consequently ensures tripping whenever a smooth DC fault current is present; this also applies in case of faults in the supply network, e.g. when the neutral conductor is interrupted. Even in the extremely improbable case of a failure of the two phase conductors and the neutral conductor, and if the remaining intact phase conductor represents a fire hazard due to a ground fault, protection is still provided by the pulse-current-sensitive breaker part, which reliably trips due to its supply-independent release. RCCBs of type B are suitable for use in an AC system with 50/60 Hz ahead of input circuits with rectifiers. They are not designed for use in DC systems and in systems with operating frequencies deviating from 50/60 Hz. They can be used for the detection and tripping of fault currents which might arise in the power supply units (e.g. frequency converters, computer tomographs) of threephase loads with electronic components (rectifiers). In this electronic equipment, apart from the described fault current forms (AC fault currents, pulsating and smooth DC fault currents), there might also arise AC fault currents of very different frequencies as, for example, on the outgoing side of a frequency converter. For RCCBs of type B, the device regulation VDE 0664 Part 100 defines requirements for frequencies up to 2 kHz. At the moment, statements as to the danger of heart fibrillation (up to 1 kHz) for frequencies exceeding 100 Hz can only be made in a very limited way. Safe statements as to further effects and the influence on the human organism (thermal, electrolytic) are not possible.

Based on these facts, protection for the case that a person directly touches live parts is only possible for frequencies up to 100 Hz. For higher frequencies, the method of protection to be implemented is protection against indirect contact with live parts. Configuration When designing and installing electrical systems, it must be ensured that electrical devices which can generate smooth DC fault currents when a fault occurs have their own circuit with an AC/DC sensitive RCCB (see Fig. 6 /22). It is not permissible to branch circuits with these types of electrical devices to pulse-current-sensitive RCCBs. Consumers which can generate smooth DC fault currents under fault conditions would then adversely affect pulse-current-sensitive RCCB tripping. The tripping conditions are defined according to DIN VDE 0664 Part 100 (for RCCBs of type B) and correspond to those of type A for AC and pulsating fault currents. The tripping values for smooth DC fault currents were defined in this device regulation taking into account the current compati-
bility characteristics according to IEC 60479 for the range 0.5- to 2.0times the rated fault current. AC/DC sensitive RCCBs have the symbols . Note: Using the available auxiliary current switches, the RCCBs can be integrated into the building management system via an instabus EIB or AS-Interface® bus or PROFIBUS®. Selective tripping Residual-current-operated circuitbreakers normally have an instantaneous release. As a consequence, an RCCB series connection which is to selectively disconnect in case of faults will not work. To achieve selectivity when RCCBs are connected in series, the serially connected devices must be graded both with regard to the release time as well as to the rated fault current. Selective RCCBs have a tripping delay. Furthermore, selective RCCBs must have an increased surge withstand strength of at least 3 kA according to IEC /EN 61008-1 (VDE 0664, Part 10). Siemens devices have a surge withstand strength of ≥ 5 kA. Selective RCCBs have the symbol S .

Allocation of RCCBs
Table 6 /19 shows a possible grading of RCCBs for selective tripping when the RCCBs are connected in series without or with short-time delay. Short-time delayed tripping Electrical devices which cause high leakage currents at switch-on (e.g. as a result of transient fault currents which flow between the phase conductor and PE via noise suppression capacitors) can cause instantaneous RCCBs to trip when they should not if the leakage current exceeds the rated fault current I∆n of the RCCB.
6/66
For applications such as these, where it is either not possible or only partially possible to eliminate such fault sources, short-time delayed RCCBs can be used. These devices have a minimum tripping time of 10 ms, i.e. they will not trip in case of a 10 ms fault current impulse. Here, the tripping conditions according to IEC/EN 61008-1 (VDE 0664, Part 10) are maintained. The devices have an increased surge withstand strength of 3kA. Short-time delayed RCCBs are marked with the symbol K .

With the patented active condensation protection, a clear increase of the service life is achieved. The following points have to be taken into account when using the SIGRES RCCBs: C The must always be supplied from the bottom at the terminals 2/N or 2/4/6/N. C Prior to insulation tests of the installation system with voltages exceeding 500 V, the SIGRES RCCB must be deactivated or the cables on the supply side (bottom) have to be disconnected.

RCCBs with N-connection on the left side Since the RCCBs are usually located on the left side of the miniature circuit-breakers but have the N-conductor connection on the right side, the continuous busbar connection is disturbed. RCCBs in connection with MCBs therefore require a special busbar. To enable the customer to always use standard busbars, four-pole RCCBs are also offered with an Nconnection on the left side. The installation habit with the RCCB on the left side of the MCB using standard busbar connections can thus be retained. Breaking capacity, short-circuit capacity According to the regulations for installation, which are specified in DIN VDE 0100 Part 410 (protection against hazardous shock currents), RCCBs may be used in all three network types (TN, TT and IT systems). If the neutral conductor is used as protective conductor in TN systems, shortcircuit-type fault currents may flow in the event of a fault. Thus, RCCBs together with a back-up fuse must have

Versions for 50 to 400 Hz Due to their mode of operation, the standard versions of the RCCBs are designed for the maximum efficiency in the 50/60 Hz system. The device specifications and tripping conditions also refer to this frequency. With an increasing frequency the sensitivity decreases. To be able to realize an effective residual-current protection for applications in systems up to 400 Hz (e.g. industry), suitable devices have to be used. Such RCCBs fulfill the tripping conditions up to the stated frequency and offer appropriate protection.

an appropriate short-circuit strength. Tests have been defined for this purpose. The short-circuit strength of the combination must be specified on the devices. Siemens RCCBs have, together with an appropriate back-up fuse, a shortcircuit strength of 10,000 A. In accordance with the VDE standards, this corresponds to the highest possible level of short-circuit strength. Details about the rated breaking capacity in accordance with IEC /EN 61008 and the maximum permissible short- circuit back-up fuse for RCCBs are shown in Table 6/20.
Surge strength During thunderstorms, atmosphericrelated overvoltage conditions may enter a system or electric installation via the overhead power lines in the form of travelling waves and thus the RCCBs are tripped. To prevent unintended disconnections, pulse-currentsensitive RCCBs must pass special tests to prove surge withstand strength. A surge current of the standardized surge current wave 8/20 µs is used for testing. Siemens pulsecurrent-sensitive RCCBs have a surge withstand strength of ≥ 1000 A.

Low Voltage
6.2.6 Lightning Current and Surge Arresters Lightning current and overvoltage protection – why? Today, high-performance information systems are the backbone of modern industrial society. Any malfunction or system breakdown could have farreaching consequences. This may even result in the bankruptcy of an industrial enterprise or service provider. The causes of faults can be manifold, with electromagnetic interferences playing an important part here. Considering our highly technologized, electromagnetic environment, however, it is no longer wise to wait for the mutual interference of electric and electronic equipment and systems and then take action to remedy the fault at considerable expense. It is necessary to plan and implement preventive measures in advance that reduce the risk of interferences, faults and destruction. Nevertheless, damage statistics of electronics insurance companies show worrying figures: more than a quarter of all damage cases are caused by overvoltages due to electromagnetic interference (see Fig. 6/24).
Causes of overvoltages According to their causes, overvoltages are filed in two categories: C LEMP (lightning electromagnetic impulse) – overvoltages that are caused by atmospheric impact (e.g. direct lightning strike, electromagnetic lightning fields)
Lightning current arrester – Class I (B)
• SEMP (switching electromagnetic impulse) – overvoltages that are caused by switching operations (e.g. breaking short circuits, operational switching of loads). Overvoltages due to a thunderstorm are caused by direct/close strikes or remote strikes of lightning (Fig. 6/26). Direct or close strikes of lightning are lightning strikes into the lightning protection system of a building or the electrically conductive systems leading into the building (e.g. low-voltage supply, telecommunications and control lines). The resulting surge currents and surge voltages are particularly dangerous for the system to be protected, with regard to the current/voltage amplitude and energy content involved. In the event of a direct or close lightning strike, overvoltages (Fig. 6/26) are caused by the voltage drop at the surge grounding resistor and the resulting raise of the ground potential of the building in relation to the far surroundings. This means the highest stressing for electric systems in buildings.
Combi-arrester – Class I (B) and II (C)
Surge arrester – Class II (C)

The characteristic parameters of the surge current present (peak value, current rise speed, load content, specific energy) can be described by the surge current waveform 10/350 µs (Fig. 6/25). They have been defined in international and national standards as the test current for components and equipment protecting against direct lightning strikes. In addition to the voltage drop at the surge grounding resistor, overvoltages are generated in the electric building installation and the systems and equipment connected to it by the inductive effect of the electromagnetic lightning field (Fig. 6/26, case 1b).

The energy of these induced overvoltages and of the resulting pulse currents is far lower than the one of the direct lightning surge current, it is therefore described by the surge current waveform 8/20 µs (Fig. 6/25). Components and equipment that need not conduct currents resulting from direct lightning strikes are therefore tested with such 8/20 µs surge currents. Lightning strikes are called remote if they occur at a farer distance to the object to be protected, or strike medium-voltage overhead lines, or occur as cloud-to-cloud lightning discharges in the immediate vicinity of such overhead lines (Fig. 6/26, cases 2a, 2b and 2c). Similar to induced overvoltages, the effects of remote strikes of lightning to the electric building installation are handled by components and equipment which have been dimensioned according to the surge current waveform 8/20 µs.

Lightning protection zone
Definition
0A
Zone in which objects are exposed to direct lightning strikes and must therefore be capable of carrying the entire lightning current. The undamped electromagnetic field is present here.
0B
Zone in which objects are not exposed to direct lightning strikes, in which, however the undamped electromagnetic field is present.
1
Zone in which objects are not exposed to direct lightning strikes and currents are reduced as compared to zone 0A. In this zone, the electromagnetic field may be damped dependent on the shielding measures taken.
2, 3
If a large-scale reduction of the conducted currents and/or the electromagnetic field is required, subsequent zones must be established. Requirements to these zones must comply with the required ambient zones of the system to be protected.
Protection scheme To ensure continuous availability of complex electric and IT systems even in the event of a direct impact of lightning, further measures for the protection of electric and electronic systems against overvoltage, based on a lightning protection system for the building, are required. It is important to take all causes of overvoltages into account. To do so, the concept of lightning protection zones, as described in IEC 61312-1 (DIN VDE 0185 Part 103), is applied (Fig. 6/27). The building is divided into endangered zones. According to the degree of endangerment of these zones, the equipment and components necessary for lightning and overvoltage protection can then be determined properly. Part of an EMC-suitable lightning protection zone concept is the outer protection against lightning (including lightning rods, roof conductors or air termination network, arrester, grounding), the equal potential bonding, the room shield and the overvoltage protection for the electrical and IT network. Definitions apply as classified in the Table “Definition of lightning protection zones.”
Table 6/24
Definition of lightning protection zones
Definition of lightning protection zones In accordance with the requirements and burdens placed on surge protective devices, they are categorized as lightning current arresters, surge arresters and combined arresters. The highest requirements are placed on the arresting capability of lightning current arresters and combined arresters, which perform the transition from lightning protection zone 0A to 1 or 0A to 2. These arresters must be capable of conducting partial lightning currents of waveform 10/350 µs several times without being destroyed in order to prevent the ingress of destructive partial lightning currents into the electrical building installation. At the transition point of lightning protection zone 0B to 1,
or downstream of the lightning current arrester at zone transition point 1 to 2 and higher, surge arresters are used to protect against overvoltages. Their task is both to reduce the residual current/voltage quantities of the upstream protective levels even further and to suppress the overvoltages induced or generated in the installation itself. The above described lightning and overvoltage protective measure at the borders of the lightning protection zones equally applies to the electrical and the IT network. By summation of the measures defined in the EMC-compatible concept of lightning protection zones, continuous availability of modern infrastructure systems can be achieved.

Requirement classes of arresters (SPD = surge protective devices: lightning current/overvoltage protective devices)
Rated surge voltage and overvoltage categories 6 kV IV
Lightning current and overvoltage protection is only effective if the stipulated insulation strength of installation sections is also taken into account here. To do this, the withstand surge voltage of the different overvoltage categories is matched with the protective level Up of the different SPDs. The international standard IEC 60664-1 (EN 60664-1) distinguishes four withstand surge voltage categories for lowvoltage equipment. The categories listed in Table 6/25 apply to low-voltage installations with nominal voltages of 230/400 V in particular. The circuit diagram shown in Fig. 6/28, Table 6/25 respectively, demonstrates that the lightning current arresters and surge arresters are divided into requirement classes dependent on their location within the power system. Siemens SPDs comply with the following product standards: C Germany (VDE 0675-6, 1996) C International (IEC 61643-1, 1998) C Italy (CEI EN 61643-11) C Austria (ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8001) Co-ordinated use of lightning current and overvoltage arresters In practice, arresters of the different requirement classes are virtually connected in parallel.

6.4 Maximum-Demand Monitors Product and functional description Description The maximum-demand monitor is a modular device with a width of 4 MW and is able to suppress peak loads and thus noticeably lower the users’ costs for power and energy supply. Based on a defined maximum average power supply value, loads/consumers are switched off or switched back on. Here, as a rule, the operational switching carried out by the operator is handled with priority and therefore the maximum-demand monitor can only switch loads that are operationally switched on. Each load can be disabled and released by the assigned bus sensor, i.e. this load is not subject to switching by the maximum-demand monitor in disabled state. Power is supplied via the bus line and via a 230 V supply. Connection to the bus can be made via an EIB bus terminal or optionally via a data rail.

Technical data Up to 120 channels are available for control. Channels 1 to 8 directly display the current state via LEDs at the device. For all of the 120 channels available, the following parameters can be set during start-up via the EIB Tool Software (ETS): C Switching-off priority (1 to 10) C Minimum switching-on time C Minimum switching-off time C Maximum switching-off time C Number of permissible switching cycles per 24 h. The power range limit to be observed by the maximum-demand monitor can be parametrized between 30 and 1,000 kW. Additionally, a warning limit between 25 and 1,000 kW can be set. Exceeding of this warning limit is indicated via an LED. This is possible for 2 rates (high rate and low rate). The demand integration period required for the determination of the average power value can be set to 15, 30 and 60 minutes. In coordination with this, the cycle time for the load projection intervals can be parameterised with 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 seconds. LEDs indicate the device’s position within the demand integration period in terms of time.

Every system consists of one basic component per feeder and a separate current detection module. Both modules are linked through a connecting cable via the system interface, they can either be mechanically coupled as a unit (in series) or mounted separately (side by side). The motor current to be monitored determines the selection of the current detection module. Optionally, an operating module can be connected to the basic component via a second system interface. The operating module can either be installed in the control cabinet door or in a front plate. Both the current measuring module and the operating module are power supplied by the basic component. In addition to the inputs/outputs integrated in the basic component, basic component 2 (SIMOCODE pro V) can be complemented by further expansion modules providing more inputs/outputs and functions. To detect and monitor voltage, power output and the power factor and any other related monitoring function, basic component 2 must be equipped with a combined current/voltage detection module 1*) instead of a mere current detection module.

Autonomous operation An important feature of SIMOCODE pro is the autonomous execution of all protective and control tasks even when the communication to the control system has been interrupted. This means, even in the event of a bus system failure or automation system failure, the full functional performance capability of the motor feeder is maintained, or a defined response to such a failure can be configured, for example, a targeted disconnection of the feeder, or the execution of certain parameterized control mechanisms (such as the reversal of the rotational direction). Integration Besides the device function and the hardware design, a high degree of user friendliness of the parameterization software is also important for communication-capable switching devices together with a good system integration, i.e. an optimum and fast integratability to the most diverse system configurations and process automation systems. For this reason, SIMOCODE pro offers matching software tools for integrated, fast parameterization, configuration and diagnosis:

7 Communications in Power Distribution From electrical power distribution to power management within the corporation Power management as part of Totally Integrated Power implements the connection of various energies (electricity, gas, water, heating, cooling, etc.) to various software packages. Applications such as status visualization, consumption recording with the corresponding load curve presentations and assignment to cost centers, load management, prognoses, as well as reporting and control functions, recording and managing of maintenance information can be implemented. A consistent operating and monitoring concept forms
the basis for comprehensive power management (see Chapter 9). Power management in electrical power distribution A visualisation for event-oriented operating and monitoring is used at the level of low and medium voltage electrical power distribution. All information about faults and events aids in troubleshooting. Complete and detailed maintenance information is important for the execution of maintenance works. The electrical power supply is monitored only with regard to observance of limits and the switching of equipment (onand off-switching). The electrical

energy demand is forecasted. All information and actions focus on smooth-free operation, fast fault clearance, and the expedient execution of maintenance work. Bus systems are used for the data transmission and communication in the electrical energy distribution. This communication is not only used to record switch position, messages and measurements, but also to perform switching operations. The communication with modern circuitbreakers allows a direct online parameterisation of the setting values. Furthermore, all recorded measured values can be read out.

From energy distribution to power management within the corporation
In the new installation business, system integrators, such as switchgear cabinet and assembly manufacturers, must provide the hardware and software requirements, whereas in the retrofit market (for retrofitting existing installations), this demand is placed on electrical fitting and maintenance departments. Power management within the site In addition to electricity, the requirements of power management within the site take account of all of the other energies that an in-house supplier provides for smooth operation within the site. The software satisfies all requirements of site management, such as internal energy providers, electrical departments or maintenance departments.
Power management within the corporation In the highest level of functionality, the power management view is extended to satisfy the corporation requirements. Executive department, corporate department, head office can also be used as synonym for corporation. The power management in the corporation covers all sites. In the individual sites, the recorded data is documented in reports according to the requirements; any faults that occur are analyzed and plannable maintenance work scheduled. The results and stipulations are transferred to the individual sites; such data can be used for optimum fault clearance or preventive maintenance. Within the dispatch (see Chapter 9), the quantities of corporation-wide energy supply contracts are allocated
to the individual sites and updated cyclically. The corporation goal is the optimum utilization of existing energy supply contracts. The energy procurement combines the forecasts of the individual sites to produce total quantities. The base, average and peak load are each satisfied with the appropriate purchases at the energy exchanges. These purchases then form the stipulations for dispatch. Although the individual functionality levels must build on each other, there is the option to focus all of the three levels of power management merely on a single type of energy. The following discussion refers to electrical energy.

Modern power distribution with connection to bus systems
Modern power distribution with connection to bus systems In a conventional power distribution system, analog measuring instruments for voltage, current, capacity, frequencies etc. are often equipped with the appropriate transducers. However, only limited use is made of this information. In future, the automatic acquisition via devices that can be connected to the bus will permit a central display and evaluation. The same bus will also be used to switch the power distribution. Newly designed power distribution systems are equipped with bus systems by default.

operating and monitoring, three basic types/classes result: C Switches, circuit-breakers C Disconnectors C Transducers Switches Using the communications, the switch state – ON/OFF, tripped, – is queried and displayed in the operator control and monitoring system. This allows the status of the energy distribution to be uniformly visualized. The operating and monitoring communications level permits off-switching using the voltage or undervoltage coil. If the switch has a motor drive, in addition to off-switching, on-switching and reset can be performed on initiation from the operating and monitoring level. Disconnectors The actual disconnector setting (ON or OFF) and, using the fuse monitoring, the triggering of a fuse can be displayed.

Event log The event log documents all status changes of the distribution and limitvalue violations. Each event consists of date/time, site identification, plant identification, device identification, function identification, and a detailed event text. Each event can be subject to various forms of acknowledgement. An archiving is performed in parallel to the message display. The event log permits the long-term tracking of the distribution status. This provides a transparent display of all switching operations and limit-value violations.
Manual switching records are replaced by this electronic variant. The entries are logged automatically, every switching operation of a circuitbreaker, either initiated from the control room or by manual operation on site or by tripping is recorded. Information flow Control-room monitoring shows online the status of the electrical power distribution; remote switching can be performed from here. The event log is archived in a database and can be analysed using additional programs/ third-party systems. The weak-point analysis must be mentioned here as being of particular interest. Selected messages can be transferred directly
using SMS services and, in future, to mobile telephones using WAP. This initiates a faster fault clearance and the personnel receives a detailed cause description. The maintenance personnel can then also be contacted directly when it does not have any access to the control room terminal. The actual status of measurements is displayed directly as a measured value in the control room.

Limit-value violations are stored with date/time in the event log. The graphical display shows the measured value information as a load curve. The limit-value monitoring and load curve display makes the measured value transparent. Thus, information can be obtained about the time-related utilization. The information recorded in this manner is very important for plant extensions and energy optimization.

The limit-value violations and load curves are stored in archives and can be used for cost center assignments of the energy flows, utilization profiles, assessment of reserves, etc. The acquisition of all data of the electrical power distribution represents the first step towards power management. The display and archiving of the power distribution information is derived from this acquisition.

For the user, the “entire technology from one partner” has many advantages
Entire technology from one partner The Siemens Power Transmission and Distribution Group supplies devices and systems for: C Power plant protection C Substation control / power system control C Remote control (RTU’s) C Current measurement and recording C Measurement and monitoring of power quality This covers all of the measurement, control, automation and protection functions for substations. Furthermore, our activities cover: C Consulting C Planning C Design C Commissioning and Service
This uniform technology ”from a single source“ saves the customer time and money in the planning, installation and operation of his substations. SIPROTEC protective relays Siemens offers a complete spectrum of multifunctional, numerical relays for all applications in the field of power system and machine protection. Uniform design and a metal-enclosed construction with conventional connection terminals which is free from electromagnetic interference in accordance with public utility requirements assure simple system design and usage just as with conventional relays.
Numerical measurement techniques ensure precise operation and require less maintenance thanks to their continuous self-monitoring capability. The integration of additional protective and other functions, such as real-time operational measurements, event and fault recording, all in one unit economizes on space, configuration and wiring costs. Setting and programming of the devices can be performed through the integral, plain-text, menu-guided operator display or by using the comfortable DIGSI 4® PC software. For communication at the telecontrol or substation control level, devices of the SIPROTEC 4 group can be equipped with exchangeable communications modules. Besides an optimal integration into the SICAM PAS substation control system in compliance with IEC 61850, the following protocols are supported: PROFIBUS FMS, IEC 60870-5-103, PROFIBUS DP, DNP V3.00 and Modbus. Thus, the on-line measurements and fault data recorded in the protective relays can be used for local and remote control or can be transmitted via telephone modem connections to the workplace of the circuit engineer. Siemens supplies individual devices as well as complete protection systems in factory-assembled cabinets. For complex applications, type and design test facilities are available together with extensive network models using the most modern simulation and evaluation techniques.

SICAM PAS engineering tools are based on Microsoft operating systems, and thanks to their Windows look & feel they are easy to use. The PC-based SICAM PAS UI – Configuration software is used for system configuration and parameterization. SICAM PAS UI – Operation and SICAM Value Viewer support the user during configuration and commissioning and provide diagnostic functions for the system in operation. The operator interface is menuguided, with SCADA-comparable functions, that is, with a level of convenience which was previously only available in a power system control center. Optional telecontrol functions can be added to allow coupling of the system to one or more power system control centers.

Switchgear interlocking
Siemens RTU’s fulfill all the classic functions of remote measurement and control. Furthermore, they provide comprehensive data pre-processing of operational and fault information, and automating functions that are based on powerful microprocessors.
The distributed substation control system SICAM PAS provides the option to implement bay-specific and ‘inter-bay’ interlocking by means of on-screen graphic planning. The substation topology as well as infeed conditions are taken into consideration. It prevents false switching, thus enhancing the safety of operating personnel and equipment considerably.
In the classic case, connections to the switchgear are made through coupling relays and transducers. This method allows an economically favorable solution when modernizing or renewing control systems in older installations. Alternatively, especially for new installations, direct connection is also possible. Digital protection devices can be connected by serial links through fiber-optic conductors or bus systems.
Power quality (measuring and recording) The SIMEAS® product range offers equipment for the monitoring of power supply quality (harmonic content, distortion factor, peak loads, power factor, etc.), fault recorders (oscillostores), and measuring transducers. Stored data can be transmitted manually or automatically to PC evaluation systems where they can be analyzed by intelligent programs. Expert systems are also applied here. This leads to rapid fault analysis and valuable indicators for the improvement of network reliability.

Reliable operation of the devices is not affected by the usual interference from the switchgear, even when the device is mounted directly in a lowvoltage compartment of a mediumvoltage switchgear panel. It must, however, be ensured that the coils of auxiliary relays located on the same panel, or in the same cubicle, are fitted with suitable spike-quenching elements (e.g. free-wheeling diodes). When used in conjunction with switchgear for up to 1 kV or above, all external connection cables should be fitted with a screen grounded at both ends and capable of carrying currents. That means that the cross section of the screen should be at least 4 mm2 for a single cable and 2.5 mm2 for multiple cables in one cable duct. All equipment proposed in this guide is built up either in enclosures (type 7XP20) or switchgear cabinets with degree of protection IP51 according to IEC 60529: C Protected against access to dangerous parts with a wire C Sealed against dust C Protected against dripping water

Instrument transformers Instrument transformers must comply with the applicable IEC recommendations IEC 60044, formerly IEC 60185 (current transformers) and 186 (potential transformers), ANSI/IEEE C57.13 or other comparable standards. Potential transformers Potential transformers (p.t.) in single or double-pole design for all primary voltages have single or dual secondary windings of 100, 110 or 120 V/KL 3, with output ratings between 10 and 300 VA, and accuracies of 0.2, 0.5 or 1 % to suit the particular application. Current transformers Current transformers (c.t.) are usually of the single-ratio type with wound or bar-type primaries of adequate thermal rating. Single, dual or triple secondary windings of 1 or 5 A are standard. 1 A rating, however, should be preferred, particularly in HV and EHV stations, to reduce the burden of the connecting leads. Output power (rated burden in VA), accuracy and saturation characteristics (accuracylimiting factor) of the cores and secondary windings must meet the particular application.

The current transformer classification code of IEC is used in the following: Measuring cores They are normally specified with 0.5 % or 1.0 % accuracy (class 0.5 M or 1.0 M), and an accuracy limiting factor of 5 or 10. The required output power (rated burden) must be higher than the actually connected burden. Typical values are 5, 10, 15 VA. Higher values are normally not necessary when only electronic meters and recorders are connected. A typical specification could be: 0.5 M 10, 15 VA. Cores revenue metering In this case, class 0.2 M is normally required. Protection cores The size of the protection core depends mainly on the maximum shortcircuit current and the total burden (internal c.t. burden, plus burden of connecting leads, plus relay burden). Further, an overdimensioning factor has to be considered to cover the influence of the DC component in the short-circuit current. In general, an accuracy of 1% (class 5 P) is specified. The accuracy limiting factor KSSC should normally be designed so that at least the maximum short-circuit current can be transmitted without saturation (DC component not considered).
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
This results, as a rule, in rated accuracy limiting factors of 10 or 20 dependent on the rated burden of the current transformer in relation to the connected burden. A typical specification for protection cores for distribution feeders is 5P10, 15 VA or 5P20, 10 VA. The requirements for protective current transformers for transient performance are specified in IEC 60044-6. In many practical cases, the current transformers cannot be designed to avoid saturation under all circumstances because of cost and space reasons, particularly with metal-enclosed switchgear. The Siemens relays are therefore designed to tolerate current transformer saturation to a large extent. The numerical relays proposed in this guide are particularly stable in this case due to their integral saturation detection function. The required current transformer accuracy- limiting factor K’ssc can be determined by calculation, as shown in Table 8/4. The transient rated dimensioning factor Ktd depends on the type of relay and the primary DC time constant. For the normal case, with short-circuit time constants lower than 100 ms, the necessary value for K’ssc can be taken from Table 8/1.

Relay burden
Burden of the connection leads
The current transformer burdens of the numerical relays of Siemens are below 0.1 VA and can therefore be neglected for a practical estimation. Exceptions are the 7SS60 busbar protection (2 VA) and the pilot wire relays, 7SD600 (4 VA).
The resistance of the current loop from the current transformer to the relay has to be considered as follows:
Normally, intermediate current transformers needn't be used any more, as the ratio adaptation for busbar and transformer protection is numerically performed in the relay. Analog static relays in general also have burdens below about 1 VA. Mechanical relays, however, have a much higher burden, up to the order of 10 VA. This has to be considered when older relays are connected to the same current transformer circuit. In any case, the relevant relay manuals should always be consulted for the actual burden values.

Protection and Substation Control
8.1 Power System Protection Introduction Siemens is one of the world‘s leading suppliers of protective equipment for power systems. Thousands of relays ensure first-class performance in the transmission and distribution networks on all voltage levels all over the world, in countries of tropical heat and arctic frost. For many years, Siemens has also significantly influenced the development of protection technology. In 1976, the first minicomputer (process-computer)-based protection system was commissioned: A total of 10 systems for 110/20-kV substations were supplied that are still working at their customers' full satisfaction today. In 1985, we were the first to produce a series of fully numerically controlled relays with standardized communication interfaces. Today, Siemens offers a complete program of protective relays for all applications including numerical busbar protection. To date, more than 350,000 numerical protection relays from Siemens are providing successful service, as stand-alone devices in traditional systems or as components of coordinated protection and substation control.
Meanwhile, the innovative SIPROTEC 4 series has been launched, incorporating the many years of operational experience with thousands of relays as well as the awareness of user requirements (power company recommendations). State of the art Mechanical and solid-state (static) relays have been almost completely phased out of our production because numerical relays are now preferred by the users. Advantages C Compact design and lower cost due to the integration of many functions into one relay C High availability even with less maintenance owing to integrated self-monitoring C No drift (ageing) of the measuring characteristics because of their complete digital processing C High availability even with less maintenance due to digital filtering and optimized measuring algorithms C Many integrated add-on functions, for example for load monitoring and event/fault recording C Local operation keypad and display designed to modern ergonomic criteria

For backup protection, one or more additional units have to be provided.

All relays can stand fully alone. Thus, the traditional protection concept of separate main and alternate protection as well as the external connection to the outdoor switchyard remain unchanged. “One feeder, one relay” concept Analog protection schemes have been engineered and assembled from individual relays. Interwiring between these relays and scheme testing have been carried out manually in the workshop. Data sharing now allows for the integration of several protection tasks into one single numerical relay. Only a small number of external devices may be required for completion of the overall design concept. This

has significantly lowered the costs of engineering, assembly, panel wiring, testing and commissioning. The reliability of the protection scheme has been highly increased. Engineering has moved from schematic diagrams towards a parameter definition procedure. The documentation is provided by the relay itself. Free allocation of LED operation indicators and output contacts provides more application design flexibility.

Measuring function included The additional transducer was rather used for protecting measuring instruments under system fault conditions. Due to the low thermal withstand capability of the measuring instruments, they could not be connected to the protective current transformer directly. When numerical protection technology is employed, protective current transformers are in many cases accurate enough to take operational measurements. Consequently, additional transducers and measuring instruments are now only necessary where high accuracy is required, e.g. for metering used for electricity bills.

Adaptive relaying
Analog distribution-type relays have some 20–30 setpoints. If we consider a power system with about 500 relays, then the number adds up to 10,000 settings. This requires considerable expenditure in setting the relays and filing retrieval setpoints.
Numerical relays now offer secure, convenient and comprehensive adjustment to changing conditions. Adjustments may be initiated either by the relay’s own intelligence or from outside via contacts or serial telegrams. Modern numerical relays contain a number of parameter sets that can be pre-tested during commissioning of the scheme (Fig. 8/9). One set is normally operative. Transfer to the other sets can be controlled via binary inputs or serial data link. There are a number of applications for which multiple setting groups can upgrade the scheme performance, for example:
A personal computer-aided man-machine dialog and archiving program, e.g. DIGSI 4, assists the relay engineer in data filing and retrieval. The program files all settings systematically in substation-feeder-relay order. Corrective rather than preventive maintenance Numerical relays monitor their own hardware and software. Exhaustive self-monitoring and failure diagnostic routines are not restricted to the protective relay itself, but are methodically carried through from current transformer circuits to tripping relay coils. Equipment failures and faults in the current transformer circuits are immediately recorded and signaled. Thus, the service personnel are now able to correct the failure upon occurrence, resulting in a significantly upgraded availability of the protection system.

The normal settings can be restored automatically after a time delay.

8.2 Relay Design and Operation Mode of operation Numerical protective relays operate on the basis of numerical measuring principles. The analog measured values of current and voltage are decoupled electrically from the system's secondary circuits via input transducers (Fig. 8/10). After analog filtering, the sampling and the analog-to-digital conversion take place. The sampling rate is, depending on the different protection principles, between 12 and 20 samples per period. With certain devices (e.g. generator protection) a continuous adjustment of the sampling rate takes place depending on the actual system frequency.
The protection principle is based on a cyclic calculation algorithm, utilizing the sampled current and voltage analog measured values. The fault detection determined by this process must be established in several sequential calculations before protection reactions can follow. A trip command is transferred to the command relay by the processor, utilizing a dual-channel control. The numerical protection concept offers a multitude of advantages, especially with regard to higher security, reliability and user friendliness, such as:
C High measurement accuracy: The high utilization of adaptive algorithms produce accurate results even during problematic conditions C Good long-term stability: Due to the digital mode of operation, drift phenomena at components due to ageing do not lead to changes in accuracy of measurement or time delays C Security against over- and underfunctioning: With this concept, the danger of an undetected defect or malfunction in the device causing protection failure in the event of a line fault is clearly reduced when compared to conventional protection technology. Cyclical and preventive maintenance services have therefore become largely obsolete.

SIPROTEC relays are available with a variety of protective functions (see relay charts, page 25 cont.). The high processing power of modern numerical devices allow further integration of non-protective add-on functions. The question as to whether separate or combined relays should be used for protection and control cannot be uniformly answered. In transmissiontype substations, separation into independent hardware units is still preferred, whereas on the distribution level, a trend towards higher function integration can be observed. Here, combined feeder relays for protection, monitoring and control are gaining ground (Photo 8/4).

Integration of relays into substation control Basically, all Siemens numerical relays are equipped with an an interface acc. to IEC 60870-5-103 for open communication with substation control systems either by Siemens (SICAM) or by any other supplier. The relays of the latest SIPROTEC 4 series, however, are even more flexible and equipped with several communication options. SIPROTEC 4 relays can still be connected to the SICAM system or to a communications system of another supplier via IEC 60870-5-103. SIPROTEC 4 protection systems and SICAM substation control technology have a uniform design. Communication is based on the PROFIBUS standard. IEC 61850 has been established as a global standard by users and manufacturers. The agreed objective of this standard is to create a comprehensive communications solution for substations. Thus, the user is provided with open communication systems which are based on Ethernet technology. SIPROTEC protective relays and bay control units are the first devices released in mid 2004 which use a communications protocol in compliance with IEC 61850. The station configurator, which is part of the DIGSI 4 operating software, can be used to configure SIPROTEC relays as well as non-Siemens relays via IEC 61850.

DIGSI 4 – the operating software for all SIPROTEC relays For the user, DIGSI is synonymous with convenient, user-friendly parameterizing and operation of numerical protection relays. DIGSI 4 is a logical innovation for operation of protection and bay control units of the SIPROTEC 4 family. The PC software DIGSI 4 is the human-machine interface between the user and the SIPROTEC 4 units. It features modern, intuitive operating procedures. With DIGSI 4, the SIPROTEC 4 units can be configured and queried. C The interface provides you only with what is really necessary, irrespective of which unit you are currently configuring. C Contextual menus for every situation provide you with made-tomeasure functionality – searching through menu hierarchies is a thing of the past. C Explorer operation on the MS Windows standard shows the options in logically structured form. C Even with routing, you have the overall picture – a matrix shows you at a glance, for example, which LED's are linked to which protection control function(s). It just takes a click with the mouse to establish these links by a fingertip. C Thus, you can also use the PC to link up with the relay via star coupler or channel switch, as well as via the PROFIBUS® of a substation control system. The integrated administrating system ensures clear addressing of the feeders and relays of a substation. C Access authorization by means of passwords protects the individual functions, such as parameterizing, commissioning and control, from unauthorized access.

C When configuring the operator environment and interfaces, we have attached importance to continuity with the SICAM automation system. This means that you can readily use DIGSI 4 on the station control level in conjunction with SICAM.
Display editor (Photo 8/10) A display editor is available to design the display of SIPROTEC 4 units. The predefined symbol sets can be expanded to suit the user. The drawing of a one-line diagram is extremely simple. Load monitoring values (analog values) can be set, if required.
Configuration matrix (routing) The DIGSI 4 matrix allows the user to see the overall view of the relay configuration at a glance. For example, you can display all the LED's that are linked to binary inputs or show external signals that are connected to the relay. And with one mouse click, connections can be switched.

Fault analysis The evaluation of faults is simplified by numerical protection technology. In the event of a fault in the power system, all events as well as the analog traces of the measured voltages and currents are recorded. The following types of memory have been integrated in the numerical protection relay: C 1 operational event memory. Alarms that are not directly assigned to a fault in the network (e.g. monitoring alarms, alternation of a set value, blocking of the automatic reclosure function). C 5 fault-event histories. Alarms that occurred during the last 3 faults on the network (e.g. type of fault detection, trip commands, fault location, auto-reclose commands). A reclose cycle with one or more reclosures is treated as one fault history. Each new fault in the network overrides the oldest fault history. C A memory for the fault recordings for voltage and current. Up to 8 fault recordings are stored. The fault recording memory is organized as a ring buffer, i.e. a new fault entry overrides the oldest fault record. C 1 ground-fault event memory (optional for isolated or impedance grounded networks). Event recording of the sensitive ground fault detector (e.g. faulty phase, real component of residual current).
8/22
Seite 22
The time tag attached to the fault records is the relative time of fault detection with a resolution of 1 ms. Devices with integrated battery backup clock store operational events and fault detection events with the internal clock time and a data stamp. The memory for operational events and fault record events is protected against failure of auxiliary supply with battery back-up supply. The integrated operator interface or a PC supported by the DIGSI 4 programming tool is used to retrieve fault reports as well as for the input of settings and routing. Evaluation of fault records Readout of the fault record by DIGSI 4 is done by fault-proof scanning procedures in accordance with the standard recommendations for transmission of fault records. A fault record can also be read out repeatedly. In addition to analog values, such as voltage and current, binary tracks can also be transferred and presented. DIGSI 4 is supplied together with the SIGRA® (DIGSI 4 Graphic) program, which provides the customer with full graphical operating and evaluation functionality like that of the digital fault recorders (oscillostores) by Siemens (see Photo 8/12).

Display and evaluation of a fault record using DIGSI 4 software
Real-time presentation of analog disturbance records, overlaying and zooming of curves and visualization of binary tracks (e.g. trip command, reclose command, etc.) are also part of the extensive graphical functionality, as are setting of measurement cursors, spectrum analysis and fault resistance derivation. Data security, data interfaces DIGSI 4 is a closed system as far as protection parameter security is concerned. The security of the stored data of the operating PC is ensured by checksums. This means that it is only possible to change data with DIGSI 4, which subsequently calculates a checksum for the changed data and stores it with the data. Changes in the data and thus in safety-related protection data are reliably recorded.

DIGSI 4 is, however, also an open system. The data export function supports export of parameterization and routing data in standard ASCII format. This permits simple access to these data by other programs, such as test programs, without endangering the security of data within the DIGSI 4 program system.

The numerical relay range of Siemens can also be operated from a remotely located PC via modem-telephone connection. Up to 254 relays can be addressed via one modem connection if the 7XV53 star coupler is used as a communication node (Fig. 8/14). The relays are connected to the star coupler via optical fiber links. Every protection device which belongs to a DIGSI 4 substation structure has a unique address.

Remote relay communication
The relays are always listening, but only the addressed one answers the operator command which comes from the central PC. If the relay located in a station is to be operated from a remote office, then a device file is opened in DIGSI 4 and the protection dialog is chosen via modem.
This way, secure and time-saving remote setting and readout of data are possible. Remote diagnostics and control of test routines are also possible without the need of on-site checks of the substation.
After password input, DIGSI 4 establishes a connection to the protection device after receiving a call-back from the system.

Enclosures and terminal systems The protection devices and the corresponding supplementary devices are available mainly in 7XP20 housings. Installation of the modules in a cabinet without the enclosure is not permissible. The width of the housing conforms to the 19" system with the divisions 1/6, 1/3, 1/2 or 1/1 of a 19" rack. The termination module is located at the rear of devices for panel flush mounting or cabinet mounting. Screw terminals are available for devices intended for: C Panel and cabinet mounting and C Devices with a separate operator station The following screw-connection types are to be distinguished: C Connector modules for voltage connection and C Connector modules for current connection Clamping screws are slotted screws which shall be tightened with a screw driver. A simple, 6 x 1 slotted screw driver is suitable for this type of screw heads.
Seite 24
Ring tongue connectors and forked cable lugs can be used for connection. To meet the insulation path requirements, insulated cable lugs must be used. Or else, the crimping zone must be insulated by other suitable means (e.g. by covering it with shrinkdown plastic tubing). The following requirements must be observed: Cable lugs Bolt diameter is 4 mm; maximum outer diameter is 10 mm; for cable cross sections of 1.0 mm to 2.6 mm AWG 16 to 14 accordingly. Only use copper conductors! Direct connection Solid conductors or litz conductors with end sleeves; for cable cross sections of 0.5 mm to 2.6 mm AWG 20 to 14 accordingly. The terminating end of the single strand or conductor must be pushed into the terminal compartment in such a way that it will be pulled into it when the clamping screw is tightened. Only use copper conductors! Wire stripping length 9 mm to 10 mm for solid conductors. Tightening torque Max. 1.8 Nm. The heavy-duty current plug connectors provide automatic short-circuiting of the current transformer circuits when the modules are withdrawn. Whenever secondary circuits of current transformers are concerned,

special precautions are to be taken. In the housing version for surface mounting, the terminals are wired up on terminal strips on the top and bottom of the device. For this purpose two-tier terminal blocks are used to attain the required number of terminals. According to IEC 60529, the degree of protection is indicated by the identifying IP, followed by a number for the degree of protection. The first digit indicates the protection against accidental contact and ingress of solid foreign bodies, the second digit indicates the protection against water. 7XP20 housings are protected against ingress of dangerous parts, dust and dripping water (IP 51). For mounting of devices into switchgear cabinets, 8MC switchgear cabinets are recommended. The standard cabinet has the following dimensions: 2,200 mm x 900 mm x 600 mm (H x W x D). These cabinets are provided with a 44 U high mounting rack (standard height unit U = 44.45 mm). It can swivel as much as 180° in a swing frame. The rack provides for a mounting width of 19", allowing, for example, 2 devices with a width of 1/2 x 19" to be mounted. The devices in the 7XP20 housing are secured to rails by screws. Module racks are not required.

General notes: C The relay (D) with the largest distance from the infeed point has the shortest tripping time. Relays further upstream have to be timegraded against the next downstream relay in steps of about 0.3 seconds. C Dependent curves can be selected according to the following criteria: C Definite time: Source impedance is large compared to the line impedance, i.e. small current variation between near and far end faults C Inverse time: Longer lines, where the fault cur rent is much less at the end of the line than at the local end. C Highly or extremely inverse time: Lines where the line impedance is large compared to the source impedance (high difference for closein and remote faults) or lines, where coordination with fuses or reclosers is necessary. Steeper characteristics also provide higher stability on service restoration (probes for cold load pickup and transformer inrush currents).

Distribution feeder with reclosers General notes on Fig. 8/17: C The feeder relay operating characteristics, delay times and autoreclosure cycles must be carefully coordinated with downstream reclosers, switch disconnectors and fuses. The instantaneous zone 50/50N is normally set to reach out to the first main feeder sectionalizing point. It has to ensure fast clearing of closein faults and prevent blowing of fuses in this area (“fuse saving”). Fast autoreclosure is initiated in this case. Further time-delayed tripping and reclosure steps (normally 2 or 3) have to be graded against the recloser. C The o/c relay should automatically switch over to less sensitive characteristics after longer load interruption times to enable overriding of subsequent cold load pickup and transformer inrush currents.

9 Power Management Power management is the special energy point of view of an industrial plant, a commercial building, or other piece of property. The view begins with the energy import, expands to its distribution and ends at the supply to the devices themselves.
An efficiency improvement of the equipment/consumer devices saves energy and reduces cost directly. This optimization is carried out by retrofitting. When making invitations to tender for new equipment, an optimal efficiency should be demanded.
All functions are directed towards the operator with the goal of enabling an economical operation.
In addition to the ideal way of reducing power costs through limiting power consumption, power management aims, on the one hand, at an optimal use of the existing contracts – not exceeding the import quantity – and on the other hand at concluding the most advantageous new continuous purchasing contracts – buying neither too much nor too little.
To minimize the energy costs, one can C directly influence the power consumption, C modify the general specifications for energy import through the best possible use of stipulated provisions in the contract as well as through C optimally negotiating new contracts.
The optimal use of existing contracts avoids penalties for exceeding the agreed-upon import quantities. Import monitoring compares the
Energy purchasing
amounts actually used to those stipulated in the existing continuous purchasing contracts. If the amount used threatens to exceed the latter, import monitoring will influence the power consumption. This can occur within the power management via priorities-list controls, planning or, if possible, by involving in-plant generation of power. The use of several types of power in interrelation takes the cogeneration optimization into consideration. In a turbine, process heat and electricity are generated from gas. Costs arising from this can be clearly allocated to the corresponding power types.

Power Management
Electricity costs for in-plant generation are comparable to those of the energy market. As power costs on the market change daily, this comparison is not necessarily always favorable to in-plant generation. The same considerations must be made when using the primary energy sources oil, gas or coal. The energy flow representation via load curves depicts the power consumption over the course of time. It visualizes the power consumption behavior and provides transparency. Load curves make the most effective statements if there is a direct reference to the technological process. By evaluating the load curves, those responsible for the process can influence the power consumption behavior in such a way that peaks are clipped and valleys are filled. If no peaks appear in the lowest level of power consumption, the import will also – as sum of all power consumers – have no peaks; a leveling is achieved. Energy flow representation, maximum-demand monitoring and the optimization of the energy mix serve to optimize energy purchasing. Only when the customer knows his requirements exactly, can he use the offer from the various power suppliers to his best advantage.

Composition of power costs and options for influencing them The cost of (electrical) energy is composed of quantity-based costs and basic fees. At any time, quantitybased energy costs can be employed as a lever to influence total energy cost by improving the efficiency of
the equipment in use. Another leverage is a change of that process that would yield an optimized degree of efficiency. If power consumption is reduced by down-sizing production, this is irrelevant for consideration.

A reduction of basic fees by influencing demand charges can only be effected when a contract is changed. Considering regular contract terms of 5 years, this leverage is unsuitable for immediate success. Strategy: First, continuously monitor energy import, cut off peak supplies and level consumption. These new import load curves can be used as a basis for negotiating a new, lower import limit at the next contract change.
C circuit-breakers, C isolators, switch-disconnectors, fuses, C transducers, C meters and measuring instruments; in the expansion, C generators and C transformers are also used. Circuit-breakers switch and protect the electrical power flow. They can be switched and monitored both locally and remotely. Disconnectors protect electrical installations. They can be switched onsite and monitored both on-site and remotely.

A remote display requires a conversion to 4- to 20-mA interfaces. Generators transform mechanical energy into electrical energy. They are started and stopped, as well as having their power output regulated, either locally or remotely. Transformers reduce the voltage levels. They can be monitored and switched either locally or remotely. The know-how of system-specific

An automatic recording via bus-capable devices is the prerequisite for a centralized display and evaluation. The same bus is also used for switching within the power distribution system.

Energy purchasing In future, energy purchasing will tend to move away from governmentally stipulated standard contracts towards market-oriented individual contracts. The maximum-demand contract is a government-oriented standard contract. Customer requirements will play a much more important role, yet this will not cause the energy supplier’s interests to be neglected. Customers with insufficient knowledge of their requirement profile are, under such market conditions, at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Documenting the requirement profile in the form of a load curve over a lengthy period of time forms the basis to advantageously structure contractual negotiations. The liberalization of the energy market also provides the possibility to explicitly order base load, medium load and peak load. Knowing the requirements exactly is an absolute must in order to optimally use the energy market for the medium load and to avoid the spot market for the peak load.

Einkaufsgemeinschaften – Energiedurchleitung
Purchasing associations – energy transmission If within an existing area several companies are formed out of one company through restructuring, each one of these must be considered individually with regard to its energy import. The existing supply structures cannot be adapted to the new premises/building. Rather, the power infeed is assigned to one company. This company then assumes the role of the energy supplier for all of the other companies formed on the premises. Every company in the area receives a maximum-demand contract. The energy supplier of the area, as the representative of a purchasing association, concludes an external continuous energy purchasing contract that includes the consumption quantity of the entire area. This quantity is then divided by the area’s en-
ergy supplier amongst the individual companies. If a sub-site exceeds the maximum demand, this does not necessarily lead to an exceeding of the maximum demand of the entire site: Thus no penalties will be charged. Since the total continuous purchasing contract does not represent the sum of the maximum peak imports, the situation could arise in which the total maximum demand is exceeded, but each individual subsite does not exceed its maximum demand. An advanced warning and a purposeful reduction of the import limit of all the sub-sites reduces an exceeding of the total maximum demand. The skilled use of the total continuous energy purchasing contract results in cost advantages for all companies in the purchasing association. Inside buildings there are comparable supply structures.

Purchasing associations – dispatch Dispatch is about a purchasing association whose members are located at various sites. Examples of this are companies with their branches or amalgamations of several independent companies. A virtual total continuous purchasing contract is formed that represents the sum of all sites. The virtual total continuous purchasing contract monitors the maximum demand and within the period – e.g. 15 minutes – distributes the energy to the sites in such a way that the total continuous purchasing contract is not violated. The trick with dispatch is to combine consumption valleys of some sites with the consumption peaks of other sites in such a way that a continuous total import results. Thus, the total import can be considerably smaller than that which would result from the sum of the individual sites. The goal of dispatch is on the one hand, by pooling large quantities of energy, to get a better import price, and on the other hand to generate a continuous total import load curve and thus enable a better exploitation of the continuous purchasing contract.

Basis for the energy market – prognosis The liberalized energy market allows the purchase of energy via energy markets in addition to the usual import of energy from the local power supply company. In Leipzig (EEX), Oslo (NordPool) and in Amsterdam (APX), there are energy markets. Since quantities of energy that have to be ordered at least 24 h in advance are traded on these energy markets, only those customers/ consumers who know their requirements in the future can bid on these markets. Consequently, a prognosis tool is absolutely necessary for the load side. The daily load curves have proven themselves as prognoses in the municipalities.

The procedures are proven and in use in many municipalities. In industry, energy consumption is mainly linked to production; prognoses are to be structured in correspondence with this information.

Demand monitoring – priorities-list control
Import monitoring Every type of energy – electricity, gas, sometimes water – has its own continuous purchasing contract. Online energy measurement generates a load curve, a curve trace as a mountain range with peaks and valleys. An ideal power import is characterized by a curve trace that is as level as possible. The goal is to reduce peaks – higher energy consumption – and to fill valleys – not fully utilized power reserves.
Import monitoring – priority-list control Power shifts are performed by loads that, without negatively influencing the production process, can be switched on and off or controlled when required. These defined power loads will be placed in a priorities list. Monitoring refers to the contractually agreed-upon imported energy limit, which should not be exceeded. This is a case of a period average, i.e., in the period, the average of the actually imported power will be calculated and permanently compared
with the imported energy limit. If the value rises too high, the loads will be either switched off or controlled down, depending on their position in the priority list. If the period monitoring shows that too little power is being consumed, the priority list’s loads will be released either for switching on or controlling up. A priorities-list control reacts to the momentary actual state of the energy import. Loads are switched or controlled according to the priorities list, however, only in accordance with demand and not as a result of direct planning.

By carefully shifting individual batch starting points, peak load situation can be detected in advance and prevented.
Import monitoring – planning Careful planning and control of energy consumption is an additional way to exploit the energy supply contract as much as possible. It is especially used where batch products are created or processed that show typical energy requirement curves in regularly recurring intervals, because their typical shape enables the prognostication of load behavior. After the analysis of the production requirements it is possible to time the production processes in such a way that an addition of load peaks is avoided and thus the energy import curve is leveled. An optimal envelope curve results that remains below the import limit. Only in exceptional situations will the priority control, that is now subordinated to the control by planning, intervene. Regarding maximumdemand monitoring for the measurement of the energy types, the relevant hardware (metrology), the affiliated wiring, and a corresponding software package for monitoring must be installed. For the open-loop control and closed-loop control of the loads, the relevant wiring from the maximum-demand monitoring into the load control must be installed.

Components of the continuous energy purchasing contract
Import monitoring – in-plant power generation In-plant power generation within the framework of import monitoring is another possibility to prevent energy import levels from being exceeded. For example, existing emergency power units can be used to generate operating current. Example of an electricity purchasing contract The continuous energy purchasing contract contains the parameters demand rate, kilowatt-hour rate and period. The supplier supplies a defined amount of electrical energy in a defined period. It doesn’t matter to him when the agreed-upon amount of electrical energy is used within this period. When this is exceeded, however, penalties are assessed. The imported energy limit is calculated from the defined amount of energy within the period and is an average value.
A demand rate is set for such an import limit. This demand rate, multiplied with the imported energy limit, is the monetary value to be paid annually. Such costs arise whether energy is used or not; they correspond to the connection costs for domestic power supply. The quantity of energy actually used is calculated with the kilowatt-hour rate. The sum of the demand rate and kilowatt-hour rate is then the total electricity cost. By clipping the import peaks, a lower import limit can be agreed upon and the costs reduced.
Example for costs in Fig. 9/10 Demand rate of 607,500 € at 135 € /kW demand rate and 4,500 kW import limit. Kilowatt-hour rate of 1,296,000 € at 21,600,000 kWh power consumption and 0.06 € /kWh costs. (Power consumption at 360 days/ 24 h a day and medium power requirements of 2,500 kW). Total costs of 1,903,500 € per year. Clipping the import limit, e.g. by 10% (450 kW) corresponds to 60,750 € per year.

Correlations (combined heat and power)
Optimization of the energy mix Cogeneration optimization stands for the dependencies of the transformation of one type of energy into one or several others. We will use a combined heat and power plant as an example here, which generates live steam from the primary energies oil and coal. This live steam is used to generate steam in a turbine; the flashed steam is made available for the provision of heat (district heating, process heat).
9/10
Loads
The system differentiates between two control possibilities. The fast control possibility of this system consists in using live steam to generate a great deal of electricity and little heat, or a great deal of heat and little electricity. The slow control possibility consists in generating more or less live steam. The exploitation of this optimization potential is mathematically a very demanding matter and is only worthwhile after an exact assessment. Cogeneration optimizations can be interpreted along the lines of cost, but also according to other criteria, e.g. ecological aspects. For the measurement of the energy types, the relevant hardware (metrology), the affiliated wiring, and a corresponding software package for monitoring must be installed.
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
AIn the boilers B1 and B2, live steam is generated using the primary energies coal or oil. This live steam is lead to turbines T1 and T5. Inside of the turbine, the live steam is flashed; it powers the generation of electricity in the generator and at the same time generates heat for thermal loads. The sum of the electricity from the generators, the energy import from power supply companies and other in-plant generation, such as from water power, generates the energy that is made available for the electrical loads. If one proceeds from the assumption that electrical energy cannot be stored but must always be available when it is needed, then this aspect cannot be used as a control value. To control the entire system, only the thermal load or the generation of live steam remains. The dependencies inside of the turbine, including the non-linear correlations, are documented in the turbine diagram. Energy flow representation In the energy flow representation, the measured values are represented over a period of time. These load curves demonstrate which energy was consumed and when it was consumed. Using these load curves, a history can be displayed in the consumption profile up to the current time. The combination of the load curves with the process knowledge represents the savings potential.

Power Management
An expert interprets the load curves and makes changes in the technical, technological or organizational levels. Effects, positive as well as negative, can be checked immediately with the help of the new load curves; a feedback arises in the shortest time, so that an optimization of consumption by clipping the peaks and filling in the valleys can begin immediately. The load curve is an irreplaceable measure in a modern company for the continual energy monitoring and the optimization resulting thereof. The load curves are always a representation of the power output over a period of time. If meters are installed, measurements are recorded in the accompanying hardware and converted to power values in the software. To measure these energies, the appropriate hardware (metrology), the affiliated wiring and a corresponding software package must be installed. For the energy analysis, various load curves are simultaneously displayed one above the other. Via this representation, correlations can be seen. These types of power engineering correlations and the various dependencies within a system are generally not known to the operator. This representation works out the complex interconnections. Documentation of these is of great importance as one of the most important bases for proof of cost-cutting measures.

Energy flow representation – cost center assignment Every measurement inside of a system can be used for cost center assignment. A differentiation is made between certified measurements, non-certified measurements and simple measurements. Only certified measurements can be used as a basis for invoicing. For expense distribution, the total power costs are distributed on the basis of consumption to cost center. All measurements may be used for in-house expense distribution.
Normal measurements are only designed for expense distribution. To better use the measurements, each measurement can be assigned several different cost center via a % key. In many cases, there is a meter reading by means of receipts. These data are transferred to the power management system via screen mask input. The documentation of the data acquired via reading receipts uses the same types of representation as the automatic meter readings.

Quality Power quality stands for reactive power, harmonics and flicker. In future continuous energy purchasing contracts, these parameters will play an increasingly important role. Examples: Reactive power: Every motor generates a reactive-power component (cos j = ratio of active power to apparent power, see Fig. 9/16). Reactive- power compensation systems adjust the generated reactive-power component to the default setting. Harmonics: Electronic power loads, e.g. converters, generate harmonics. These harmonics are modulated up to the normal network frequency of 50 Hz. A network voltage that is not a pure sine wave arises. The higher the share of the harmonics (x % of the fundamental component) is, the poorer the network quality will be. The harmonics are measured and filtered by the appropriate devices.
Flicker: Flickers are temporary network interruptions in the millisecond range. The more flickers appear, the poorer the network quality will be. Flickers can, within limits, be compensated for with the appropriate devices. Efficiency improvement The efficiency improvement is always directed towards the existing equipment. Through the use of controllable drives, ECO motors, etc., an energy saving is feasible from the electrical point of view. Better insulation improves the thermal efficiency. Through full use of the control range – an adaptation to demand – or, by avoiding starts and stops – avoiding start and stop losses – a further total efficiency improvement of the generator is possible. In addition to the efficiency improvement, these measures also have a positive effect on the mechanical service life of the generator: it is increased. Through the use of controllable fluorescent lamps, only the amount of light needed to illuminate the work area is generated.

A constant workplace illumination can be guaranteed by using a mix of daylight and fluorescent light.

This point of view is first of all generator-oriented, in the second step the applied energy or type of energy plays a role.

Efficiency improvement – thermodynamic closed-loop controllers The optimization of the start and shut-down processes of thermodynamic power loads (boilers) is not only interesting from an energy point of view, it also affects the maintenance intervals and service life. The lesser the start and shut-down times, the lower the power loss. Because of this, every operator attempts to approach the gradients (e.g. temperature) rated by the manufacturer, but not to exceed them. Further advantages are longer maintenance intervals and a longer service life.

Evaluation – maintenance The maintenance of a technical installation comprises, acc. to DIN 31051, the activities inspection (determination of the actual condition), maintenance (maintaining the desired condition) and corrective maintenance (restoring the desired state). In addition to regularly scheduled maintenance, the system can be connected online to the process in order to cyclically calculate the actual runtime (operating hours) and/or the operating cycles of the objects on the basis of the status signals (ON/OFF).

Operating hours and operating cycle meters are integrated in the system, however, they can be realized in the automation systems. The maintenance schedule resulting from or recommended by this forms the basis for an efficient maintenance planning. The goal with this is the reduction of maintenance costs. The performance of inspections and maintenance is viewed realistically; it is done neither too early nor too late. A system failure, which is usually associated with high repair and down-time expenses, is avoided.

The automatic calculation of the maintenance schedule refers to the earliest calculated time. In the example (Fig. 9/20 Maintenance orders), the runtime determines the maintenance order, operating cycles and maintenance schedule are of lesser importance. When the runtimes or operating cycles are exceeded, the represented value will continue to be counted with a negative sign up to the completion notice. A maintenance order can be automatically activated when the recommended date is reached or manually at any time by the operator. The status display of the maintenance shows all scheduled orders in tables. Important data, such as operating hours and operating cycles of the object, recommended maintenance schedule, remaining runtime until the next scheduled maintenance date, check-control indicator and much more are cyclically updated. Further detailed information can be simply called up by a “mouse click” on the “Tabs”.

Power costs are becoming increasingly important, especially for process control.
The result: One can reduce the ordered power reserves and further save expenses.
Visualization software
S0 interface
In systems that are not monitored, power reserves, for example, must be kept ready in order to avoid load over ranges, because these make themselves noticeably felt in the calculation: expenses rise. This is where the maximum-demand monitor steps in: It effectively suppresses peak loads and thus unnecessary expenses. The only requirement is, to set up the process correspondingly and create possibilities of temporally staggering the power consumption.

Simple, transparent, efficient: the maximum-demand monitor’s work. On the basis of a defined maximum average power, the maximumdemand monitor switches loads and devices off or on again. In so doing, operational switching by the operator always has the highest priority. The maximum-demand monitor only interferes with operationally connected loads in correspondence to the set priority (1 to 10). Each of these loads can be blocked from the correspondingly assigned switch and released again, i.e.: If the load is blocked, the maximum-demand monitor is not available for switching. Photo 9/2

Software for power statistics The software for power statistics enables the compilation of demand integration periods and daily, monthly and annual statistics which can then be exported to Excel for further evaluation. Through this, one can compile statistics – the basis for the customer’s negotiation of better and less expensive supply contracts with the power supply company. The software for power statistics is part of the instabus EIB EIB visualization software and is also available as a stand-alone version. It facilitates online tracking of the switching priorities with a PC and allows them to be changed. The current switching status and the important system parameters are displayed. Fig. 9/26
Depiction of the maximum-demand monitor in the instabus EIB visualization software
Basically, however, the maximum-demand monitor can also be operated as a mere detection unit during a recording phase. In this case, it records load curves and consumption values. The individual channels need not be parameterized for this. Integration period The power statistics of an integration period over 15 minutes are displayed in minutes. Green and red: the respective power demanded; red: the released power; green: the switchedoff power. Typical of this: The low power underrange at the beginning and the low power overrange at the end of the integration period. Over the entire cycle of the integration period, this results in an even balance.

Daily profile The evaluation of daily statistics shows the individual integration periods. Switched-off and released power outputs represent the demanded power of all loads. When manually switching the loads, power overranges are unavoidable. In spite of changing the power demand, the maximum-demand monitor limits the released power and thus prevents an exceeding of the admissible limit value. History database In the instabus EIB visualization software’s history database, the switching states of the channels are depicted in their temporal course – just as they result from the priority assignment and requirements.

10 Measuring and Recording Power Quality 10.1 Overview Introduction For more than 100 years, electrical energy has been a product, measured, for example, in kilowatt-hours, and its value was determined by the amount of energy supplied. In addition, the time of day could be considered in the price calculation (cheap night current, expensive peak time rates) and agreements could be made on the maximum and minimum power consumption within defined periods. The latest development shows an increased tendency to include the aspect of voltage quality into the purchase orders and cost calculations. Previously, the term “quality” was associated mainly with the reliable availability of energy and the prevention of major deviations from the rated voltage. Over the last few years, however, the term of voltage quality has gained a completely new significance. On the one hand, devices have become more and more sensitive and depend on the adherence to certain limit values in voltage, frequency and waveshape; on the other hand, these quantities are increasingly affected by extreme load variations (e.g. in steelworks) and non-linear consumers (electronic devices, fluorescent lamps).
Power quality standards The specific characteristics of supply voltage have been defined in standards which are used to determine the level of quality with reference to C Frequency C Voltage level C Waveshape C Symmetry of the three-phase voltages These characteristics are permanently influenced by accidental changes resulting from load variations, disturbances from other machines and by the occurrence of insulation faults. In contrast to usual commodity trade, the quality of voltage depends not only on the individual supplier but, to an even larger degree, on the customers. The IEC series 1000 and the standards IEEE 519 and EN 50160 describe the compatibility level required by equipment connected to the power grid, as well as the limits of emissions from these devices. This requires the use of suitable measuring instruments in order to verify compliance with the limits defined for the individual characteristics as laid down in the relevant standards. If these limit values are exceeded, the polluter may be requested to provide for corrective action. Competitive advantage through power quality In addition to the requirements stated in standards, the liberalization of the energy markets forces the utilities to make themselves stand out against their competitors, to offer en-

ergy at lower prices and to take cost saving measures. These demands result in the following consequences for the supplier: C The energy rates will have to reflect the quality supplied. C Customers polluting the grid with negative effects on power quality will have to expect higher power rates – “polluter-must-pay” principle. C Cost-saving through network planning and distribution (being different from today’s practice in power systems, which is oriented towards the customers with the highest power requirements). The significant aspect for the customer is that non-satisfying quality and availability of power supply may cause production losses resulting in high costs or leading to poor product quality. Examples are in particular C Semiconductor industry C Paper industry C Automotive industry (welding processes) C Industries with high energy requirements Siemens offers a wide range of equipment for the recording, archiving and evaluation of voltage quality.

10.2 SIMEAS Q
Front view
The SIMEAS Q quality recorder SIMEAS®Q is a is a measuring instrument for recording electrical parameters in power distribution systems, which are utilized for power quality analyses with regard to compliance to standards EN 50160 and IEC 61000, for example. Application The growing use of non-linear or unbalanced loads is increasingly having an effect on power quality in supply systems. However, many electronic consumers require a defined power quality in order to work properly. Inadequate power quality has an adverse effect on the operating safety of consumers within the power supply system and can cause outages with serious consequences. Complete recording and evaluation of power quality according to international standards is imperative. Functions SIMEAS Q is a cost-effective measuring and recording instrument for quality monitoring of electrical power supply (low voltage / medium voltage). Besides a continuous recording of all relevant parameters, the device is also capable of recording faults. In this mode, measured values will only be recorded if one or several limit values are exceeded. This enables the registration of all characteristics of voltage quality according to the relevant standards. The measured values can be automatically transferred to a central computer system at freely definable intervals via a standardized PROFIBUS®-DP interface and at a transmission rate of up to 1.5 Mbit/s.

Two different connection methods or system configurations are possible, depending on the application and existing infrastructure. One is to use a central PC as the master. It is then possible to set up a system for measured value acquisition and evaluation using the SICARO Q Manager software. The other possibility is to link up to a PLC system where the SIMEAS Q is connected to the central master as a slave.

Continuous recording In continuous recording, depending on the setting for each measured variable, the rms values are acquired and stored in the memory along with the relevant time and date information. This records a “chain of measured values” whose resolution can range from low to very high, depending on the averaging time set. In “continuous recording” mode, the SIMEAS Q can record measured variables as defined in the standards (e.g. EN 50160). Acquisition of maximum and minimum values of measured variables within the measurement period (averaging time) is also possible. Table 10/1 shows which measured variables can be acquired by continuous recording, depending on the type of power system. Fault recording “Fault recording” means that measurement data are recorded when the average measured value violates one or more defined upper or lower limits (thresholds). When a limit is reached, the current time and date information and the mean value since the last limit violation of that measured variable are stored in the memory.

Possible measured variables for continuous recording
This type of recording is primarily used for recording voltage dips. To record voltage dips, the lowest possible averaging time of 10 ms is selected. During measurement, the SIMEAS Q compares the half period measurement of a variable, which
corresponds to the rms value, with the set thresholds and is thus able to record very short voltage dips. Table 10/2 shows the measured variables for which fault recording can be parameterized.

If the measurement data are not retrieved, the SIMEAS Q goes into memory overflow / ring buffer mode, which causes loss of data and gaps in the measured value chain. It must therefore be ensured that the measured data are always retrieved before memory overflow / ring buffer mode occurs. Relay outputs The SIMEAS Q is fitted with 2 relay outputs (opto-relays). One of the following functions can be assigned to these outputs: C Indication device active (switched on) C Energy metering pulse per settable energy value for: – Active energy, energy import – Active energy, energy export – Reactive energy, capacitive – Reactive energy, inductive – Apparent energy C Indication active power import (contact open) or active power export (contact closed) C Limit cos ϕ ((contact closed for as long as cos ϕ is lower than a settable limit value)

Functions Digital fault recording system. All functions can be performed simultaneously and are combined in one unit with no need for additional devices to carry out the different tasks. Special features C The modular design enables the implementation of different configurations starting from systems with 8 analog and 16 binary inputs up to the acquisition of data from any number of analog and binary channels C Clock with time synchronization using GPS or DCF77 C Data output via postscript printer, remote data transmission with a modem via the telephone line, connection to LAN and WAN Fault recording This function is used for the continuous monitoring of the AC voltages and currents, binary signals and direct voltages or currents with a high time resolution. If a fault event, e.g. a short circuit, occurs, the specific fault will be registered including its history. The recorded data are then archived and can either be printed directly in the form of graphics or be transferred to a diagnosis system which can, for example, be used to identify the fault location.

Measuring and Recording Power Quality
Logic triggers Logic triggers can be defined by combining any types of trigger event (analog or binary). They are used to avoid undesired recording by increasing the selectivity of the trigger function. The device can distinguish between different causes of a fault, e.g. between a voltage dip caused by a short circuit (low voltage, high current) which needs to be recorded, and the disconnection of a feeder (voltage low, current low) which does not need to be recorded. Sequential control An intelligent logic operation is used to make sure that each record refers to the actual duration of the fault event. This is to prevent continuous violation of a limit value (e.g. undervoltage) from causing permanent recording and blocking of the device. Analog measured values 16-bit resolution for voltages and DC quantities and 2 x 16-bit resolution for AC voltages. The sampling frequency is 256 times the network frequency, i.e. 12.8 kHz at 50 Hz and 15.36 kHz at 60 Hz for each channel. A new current transformer concept enables a measuring range between 0.5 mA and 400 Arms with tolerance ranges of < 0.2% at < 7 Arms and < 1% at > 7 Arms. Furthermore, direct current is registered in the range above 7 A; this enables a true image of the transient DC component in the short-circuit current.
Binary signals The sampling frequency at the binary inputs is 2 kHz. Data compression For best utilization of the memory space and for high-speed remote transmission, the data can be compressed to as little as 2% of their original size. Fault diagnosis Performed with the SICARO® software package. Digital recording This function is used for the continuous registration of the mean values of the measured values at intervals which can be freely defined. In single-phase and three-phase systems, the following measured variables are recorded: C R.m.s. values of voltages and currents C Active power C Reactive power C Power factor C Frequency C Positive and negative sequence voltage and current C Weighted and unweighted total harmonic distortion (THD) C 5th to 50th harmonics (depending on the averaging time) C DC signals, e.g. from transducers
Depending on the individual network configuration, a three- or four-wire connection is used. Frequency/power recording (F/PR) This function continuously monitors the gradient of the frequency and/or power of one or more three-phase feeders. If major deviations are detected, e.g. caused by the outage of a power plant or when high loads are applied, the profile of the measured values will be recorded including their history. The recorder is also used for the registration of power swings. Measured variables C Frequency of one of the voltages, (limit of error ±1 mHz) C Active power, reactive power (reactive displacement power), (limit of error ≤ 0.2%) C Power factor Averaging interval A value between 1 and 250 periods of the network frequency can be selected. History Depends on the averaging interval; 10 s times the averaging periods. Automatic power analysis With the help of the SICARO software package (see SICARO page 08), a power analysis of a station can be created automatically.

The mass memory of the device can be configured according to requirements (a 5 MB memory, for example, enables the storage of

approx. 120,000 status changes). Modules are available for signal voltages between 24 and 250 V. The time-synchronous power output enables the combined representation with analog curves, e.g. of alarm and command signals together with the course of relay voltages and currents. With the help of the SICARO program, the event signals can be displayed in the form of a text list in chronological order. The use of a separate SOE recorder will no longer be required.

The program enables fully-automated data transmission of all recorded events from the acquisition units to one or more evaluation stations via dedicated line, switched line or a network; the received data can then be immediately displayed on a monitor and/or printed (Fig. 10/3). The SICARO PQ program is provided with a very convenient graphical evaluation program for the creation of a time diagram with the curve profiles, diagrams of the rms values or vector diagrams (Photo 10/7). The individual diagrams can, of course, be adjusted to individual requirements with the help of variable scaling and zoom functions. Records from different devices can be combined in one diagram. The different quantities measured can be immediately calculated by marking a specific point in a diagram with the cursor (impedance, reactance, active and reactive power, harmonics, peak value, rms value, symmetry, etc.). Additional diagnosis modules can be used to perform an automatic analysis of fault events and to identify the fault location. The program also supports server/client structures.
Information for project planning with SIMEAS R The secondary components of high or medium-voltage systems can either be accommodated in a central relay room or in the feeder-dedicated low-voltage compartments of switchgear panels. For this reason, the SIMEAS R system has been designed in such a way as to allow both centralized or decentralized installation. The recording unit can be delivered in two different widths, either 1/2 19" or 19" (full width). The first version is favorable if measured values of only one feeder line are to be considered (8 analog and 16 binary signals). Often, this also applies to high-voltage stations where each feeder is provided with an extra relay kiosk for the secondary equipment. In all other cases, the full-width version of 19" is more economical, since it enables the processing of up to 32 analog and 64 binary signals. The modular structure with a variety of interface modules (DAU’s) provides a maximum of flexibility. The number of DAU’s which can be integrated in the recording system is unlimited. With the help of a DAKON XP unit (see Fig. 10/3), several devices can be interlinked and automatically controlled. In addition, digital protection devices of different make can be connected to the DAKON XP.

The voltage inputs are designed for direct connection to low-voltage transformers. Current inputs are suitable for direct connection to current transformers (IN = 1 or 5 A). All inputs comply with the relevant requirements for protection devices acc. to IEC 60255. The binary inputs are connected to floating contacts. Data transmission is preferably effected via telephone network or WAN (Wide Area Network). If more than one SIMEAS R is installed, we recommend the use of a DAKON XP unit (data collection platform). The DAKON XP creates a link with the SICARO evaluation program, e.g. via the telephone network. Moreover, the DAKON XP automatically collects all information registered by the devices connected and stores these data on a decentralized basis. The DAKON XP performs a great variety of different functions, e.g. it supports the automatic fax transmission of the data. A database management system distributes the recorded data to different stations either automatically or on command.

11 Meters and Measuring Instruments Today, it is standard procedure to monitor currents, voltages and power values in distributions in order to know the system utilization so that overloads do not occur. However, the possibility to measure currents, voltages and power values to increase system availability has by far not been exhausted. When using the measurement results, this availability can be better planned in relation to the utilization level. There is a high potential in this option. Prerequisite to this are suitable measuring instruments, transducers and transformers. If you have detailed information on the consumption of the devices connected to the power system and use these data appropriately, a further great opportunity opens up: saving potentials and cost optimization can be utilized in a target-specific way. To do so, we offer you our power meters. Those who go one step further can even save money when purchasing energy and reduce the cost for the energy purchase. This potential benefits those who analyze the load curves of the actual power consumption. For this we can also offer you solutions up the online recording via PC and an integration into our Power Management System (see Chapter 9). There is a high cost saving potential in the monitoring and selective control of the energy flow in complex power networks and processes – in industry as much as in functional and commercial buildings like bakeries and workshops.

A universal power unit with ratings from 24 to 250 V DC and 100 to 250 V AC makes it truly universal. Operation Besides the graphic display, 3 pushbuttons have been integrated in the device front for device operation. Clear designations and texts and an uncomplicated, menu-guided parameterization make SIMEAS P operation simple and easy to understand. Measurement display The user can adapt the representation of measured quantities on the graphic display screens of the SIMEAS P to suit his requirements. Up to 20 screens can be addressed via the front panel keys. Their number, type, content and sequence can be parameterized. On the measurement screens, there is a status line which shows the status, interfacing and diagnostic messages of the SIMEAS P. The display is refreshed in intervals of 1 s.
Functionality Input voltages and input currents are scanned and used to generate the rms values. All derived quantities are then calculated by a processor and available for display on the screens and transfer via a serial interface. SIMEAS P also offers the possibility to parameterize several limit groups with the limit values of the measured quantities. They can be linked with AND/OR and their violation can be indicated at the meters or output at the binary outputs. An oscilloscope triggering is thus also possible. Quality Development and production of the device in our Berlin plant which is ISO 9001-certified ensure the highest possible quality standard. For the user this means a high degree of system protection, reliability and a long service life of the devices. Further quality features are their high precision which remains constant over the years, CE mark, EMC proof and the fulfillment of all relevant national and international standards. Safety Electrical isolation between the inputs and outputs with high test voltages ensures the greatest possible safety. Parameterization and calibration are secured against unauthorized use via parameterizable password protection.

Binary inputs SIMEAS P can be equipped with a maximum of 4 binary input modules. Each of these modules has 2 electrically isolated, rooted binary inputs which work according to the current source principle, i.e. the input voltage applied is transformed into a constant current. Therefore, the binary inputs do not require any auxiliary supply voltage. Binary inputs may be used for: C Metering external measured quantities C Status/message logging C Clock synchronization of the SIMEAS P with minute pulses (sets seconds to 00) Analog outputs SIMEAS P can be equipped with a maximum of 4 analog output modules. Each of these modules has 2 analog outputs which are rated for a nominal output current of 0 to 20 mADC. Both analog outputs form a common circuit, therefore they are not isolated. The 2 analog outputs are, however, electrically isolated against the internal circuit. Analog outputs may be used for: C Output of measured quantities (current, voltage, power ϕ, cos ϕ, frequency etc.) in the range 0 – 20 mADC or 4–20mADC Binary outputs SIMEAS P can be equipped with a maximum of 4 binary output modules. Each of these modules has 2 rooted binary outputs, which have been implemented through semiconductor relays. Like the internal binary outputs, these binary outputs may be used for: C Output of energy pulses C Display of limit-value violations C Display of device status C Display of the rotational direction of the phase voltages L1-L2-L3 Relay outputs SIMEAS P can be equipped with one relay module as a maximum. This module has 3 rooted, electro-mechanical relays. The relay outputs can be used to switch loads, which cannot be handled by the semiconductor relays of the binary outputs any more. These relay outputs are parameterized like binary outputs and can be used for: C Switching in the event of limit-value violations, e.g. for reactive power compensation

SIMEAS P parameterization package Application With the SIMEAS P parameterization software package, the user benefits from a low-cost tool for an even more efficient utilization of the SIMEAS P functionality. The package comprises the Windows parameterization software, a connection lead, an RS232/RS485 converter and a plug-in power supply unit. The converter is used to connect the SIMEAS P to a customary Notebook or PC using a 9-pole D-SUB connector. The software is executable with the operating systems WIN95, WIN98, Windows NT, WIN2000 and Windows XP Professional. The parameterization software enables the user to configure SIMEAS P devices even faster. Parameters can be set and saved without directly operating the device. The function "Send to device" transfers the parameters to the SIMEAS P.
11/12
Seite 12
This enables the user to configure several SIMEAS P simultaneously. When devices are replaced, stored parameter sets can easily be uploaded to the new devices. Another option is the upload of communication protocols and firmware updates. The parameterization software supports all SIMEAS P devices. It is mandatory for parameterizing SIMEAS P100/200 and P600. Parameterization of the memory function Memory-equipped devices (SIMEAS P600 and SIMEAS P200) offer the possibility to record measured values and states together with a time stamp. The parameterization software helps to define which measured values and which status shall be recorded. Memory reading An additional function in the parameterization software enables the following information to be read from the device memory: C Mean values C Mean values of power C Oscilloscope recordings C Binary channel status C Limit-value violations C Log entries

11.2 SIMEAS T Transducer for HighCurrent Power Quantities Description All measured quantities in any type of high-current network can be detected with one device by using the SIMEAS T multi-purpose transducer. The device has 3 analog outputs. Every output can be assigned to one variable (current, voltage, active or reactive power, frequency etc.) and any measuring range. The output signal (e.g. –10 to 0 to 10 mA, ±20 mA, 4 to 20 A, 0 to 10 V etc.) can be parameterized as required for every output. The binary output can be used as an energy meter, to measure work quantities or as limit value indicator. Input currents of up to 10 A, or input voltages up to a maximum of 600 V with nominal frequencies of 50, 60 or 16 2/3 Hz can be connected. Depending on the measuring task, unused input terminals will remain unassigned. The measurement is a true rms measurement which also allows distorted curves up to the 32nd harmonic order to be measured. The transducer can be ordered fully parameterized or for individual parameterization via PC or notebook. Fully configured devices can be ordered by specifying a parameterization key with clear-text information as illustrated in the order example. These devices can be re-parameterized using the SIMEAS T PAR software. Orders for devices to be individually parameterized merely have to contain the corresponding order number. The
11/14
Seite 14
configuration of the transducer for its measuring task is performed via a commercial PC or laptop. A connection cable to the PC and an installation disk named SIMEAS T PAR is optionally available. It can be used to individually configure the transducer in a Windows desktop in an easy way. Set data and a specific connection diagram are included in the delivery of factory-configured devices. Or they can be printed out together with a device label when you are doing the parameterization yourself. The transducer can be re-parameterized during normal operation; measured values can be displayed online or recorded on graphical instruments (contained in the software) on the PC or laptop. All measured quantities and parameters may be read out and displayed at the PC with the help of the communication interface, independent of the analog outputs. Measured values can be transmitted through an RS232 or RS485 interface. Devices with an RS485 interface are additionally provided with the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol which enables the transducers to be connected to an I&C network and measured values to be sent to the host processor via an RS485 bus. Via a serial interface, all measured quantities and parameters can be read out and displayed on the PC independently of the analog outputs.
Performance features of the SIMEAS T multi-purpose transducer for power quantities with RS232 interface C Minimum dimensions C Short delivery times, ex works C CE mark C EMC immunity C In accordance with all relevant national and international standards C High quality, long service life C Electric isolation with high test voltage C High measuring accuracy C True rms measurement C Powerful output signal circuits C One device for all applications C All data can be freely parameterized C High system safety and reliability C High ease of servicing
The devices require an auxiliary power source. A version for the DC range of 24 V to 60 V and a version for the AC/DC range of 100 to 230 V are available. Inputs and outputs are electrically isolated.

SIMEAS T transducers with interface according to IEC 60870-5-103 Design, type of connection and technical data of these transducers are identical to those of a transducer with RS232 interface. Instead of an RS232 interface, however, they have a built-in EAI RS485 interface for bus operation in compliance with IEC 60870-5-103. This enables the transducers to be operated at a bus, thus they can be networked as shown in the example. The output of analog measured quantities through the analog outputs will not be affected by bus operation. Devices are parameterized with the SIMEAS T PAR software. Measured-value transmission The measuring points to be acquired by the converter and transmitted with the ASDU depend on the selected mode of operation. They are listed in Table 11/3. Data representation corresponds to DIN 19244 and VDEW. Data transmission with IEC 60870-5-103 file transfer The content of file transfer protocols according to IEC 60870 is fully transparent for the user. All of the available measured values can be integrated in such a file. The application program determines which data shall be selected.

11.3 Measuring Instruments/Meters as Modular Devices
There is a great potential in this. The measuring instruments, which are designed as modular devices, are catching on because their planning and installation is so easy.
Measuring power consumption is the first step to cost saving
When configuring these modular devices, it is merely the modular widths and the mounting tier which have to be defined. The installation itself is very simple: just snap the devices in
This advantage is secured by using the measurements for a better planning in relation to system utilization. Devices
the distribution board onto the standard mounting rail without the use of tools and make the connection. Measuring instruments by Siemens have proven themselves many times in this situation. Apart from the fact that they are reliable and safe, they are also small, which means they save space and make the device arrangement within the distribution board transparent.

12 SIMARIS design – the Tool for Dimensioning Electrical Power Distribution SIMARIS design supports C Engineering companies C Electrical fitters for installation planning C Switchgear manufacturers for dimensioning tasks C Acceptance authorities such as the German Technical Inspectorate (TÜV) etc. in implementing power supply concepts for commercial and industrial buildings from medium voltage through to the power outlet in compliance with accepted standards. This support already begins at the initial concept finding stage. SIMARIS design C Facilitates routine work C Helps to ensure high planning and cost safety C Leads to a holistic planning approach C Designs cost-effective complete installations instead of “cheap” individual products
Network calculations and automatic permissibility checks throughout the whole power system In order to meet the high expectations of investors and plant operators, engineering companies and planners spend a lot of time with the routine work involved in dimensioning installations and circuits. All circuits in a power system must be calculated to include the most unfavorable, likely network conditions and verified to comply with countryspecific standards and installation practice. As standard, this includes the verification of: C Overload protection – Have the cables been dimensioned for the maximum operating current to be transmitted? – Has the selected switching device been rated for the maximum cable load current? – Does the selected switching device protect the cable against overload ? – Have the tripping currents been taken into account for the selected switching device class according to DIN VDE 0100 T430 (test currents, device characteristics, tolerance ranges)? C Short-circuit protection – Does the cable/busbar thermally withstand the load under fault conditions until the fault has eventually been cleared (K2S2 > = I2t)?
12/2
Totally Integrated Power by Siemens
C Protection of human life in the event of indirect contact according to DIN VDE 0100 T410: – Will the circuit be definitely interrupted within the specified time interval by any switching device under any fault condition? – Has the type of connection to ground been taken into account in the network configuration? – Have minimum and maximum short-circuit currents been taken into account in dependency of alternative means of supply? – Will an additional equipotential bonding become necessary? – Have the limits for maximum contact voltage been complied with? C Voltage drop (static/dynamic): – Is the cumulated voltage drop down to the outlet circuits within the limits of the currently applicable standard? – Can all consumers be safely operated despite a voltage drop on the supply path (motor start-up?)? C Selectivity: – Is the switching/protective device in use fully selective to all of its upstream switching/protective devices across the entire currenttime range? – Can selectivity be documented in terms of a TÜV-approved selectivity proof according to DIN VDE 0100 T710 (former DIN VDE 0107) or DIN VDE 0108?

SIMARIS design
SIMARIS design automatically performs such calculations and checks in compliance with the latest standards and regulations. The DIN VDE 0100 series is based on the harmonized IEC 364 (HD 384).
Single-line diagram view
Extensive paging through regulations, standard tables or product catalogs becomes obsolete. For the engineering company this means a sustained work relief and at the same time a risk minimization regarding planning and cost safety.
Project structure tree
Message window
The data-processing-compatible representation of real power supply systems within SIMARIS design can be implemented easily and quickly. Individual power system components are input in a circuit-related manner. Basically, the input of cable lengths and technical device data of the consumers is sufficient to start with the network calculation. Once the basic electrical data have been stored, comparable circuits, or even complete subdistributions can be duplicated by just a mouse-click and assigned to a new subdistribution board, which speeds up the digitizing process for the whole system. Mapping larger power supply systems, such as the supply for airport buildings or building power supply of a university hospital, is no problem either with SIMARIS design. Such installations, including the whole range from the medium-voltage substation down to the last outlet circuit, can also be simulated, calculated and verified in the program with comparatively little time expense.
Fig. 12/1
Project structure tree
In parallel to runtime, network calculations may be started at any time for: C Load flow C Short circuit (1-/2-/3-pole minimum and 1-/3-pole maximum) C Energy balance Calculation results are displayed and evaluated in the project tree structure with the aid of the signal colors red/yellow/green for each circuit. The project view, which is divided in 3 sections (project tree structure / single-line diagram / message window) facilitates a quick overview of the network structure and the current status of the calculation results. Even subsequent (manual) modifications of the network configuration or individual components are supported by SIMARIS design. SIMARIS design performs an automatic permissibility check for each modification in the background and immediately displays relevant messages if necessary.
Automatic device selection based on an integrated, well matched device range SIMARIS design is not a traditional network calculation tool. Based on the results of the network calculation, SIMARIS design automatically dimensions the network components which are required for safe supply of the specified consumers. This includes C besides the supply current sources (transformer(s)/generator(s)/neutral system infeed(s)) C and the cables or busbars C mainly the switching/protective devices ranging from the mediumvoltage side of the supply current source down to the individual consumer circuits.

Integrated planning Components as well as circuits within the entire power system are technically matched right from the start. The entire power supply system can thus be designed in a technically and economically optimized manner. At the same time, the fire load can be reduced to a minimum in the whole installation while the protection of human life is ensured to a high degree and supply safety can be guaranteed in the entire installation under fault conditions. In this context, the planner doesn’t need to have any special equipment know-how. The widest scope for decisions regarding the design of a complete installation is in the planning stage. With the aid of SIMARIS design’s own product database, integrated planning becomes easy and efficient. Back-up protection or full selectivity The focus for dimensioning the switching/protective devices may be on a) Back-up protection – economical device dimensioning: The use of low-cost devices with a partially underdimensioned switching capacity becomes feasible. In the event of a fault, the underdimensioned device will automatically be protected by one of the devices upstream in the direction of energy flow.

b) Selectivity – greatest possible safety of supply for the entire installation: The upstream device which is closest to the fault location as seen in the direction of energy flow safely trips over the entire current-time range. Those parts of the installation which are neither affected by, nor caused the fault stay in operation. If required: Expansion/extension of the entire installation through device reparameterization is possible. The planner determines the criteria for automatic device selection in SIMARIS design.

Visualization and automatic evaluation of characteristic device curves regarding fully selective behavior In existing installations, the switching/protective devices in operation are checked for compliance with fully selective switching behavior according to DIN VDE 0100 T710 (previously DIN VDE 0107) or DIN VDE 0108. Normally this check is performed by means of a visual comparison of characteristic curves of upstream and downstream devices using so-called current/time curve diagrams. According to DIN VDE 0100 T710 (former DIN VDE 0107) or DIN VDE 0108, certain supply sections, such as the safety power supply, are subject to a general proof of selective switching behavior of the switching devices in operation.

SIMARIS design
If this aspect has not been taken into account at an early stage prior to commissioning, it may cause the responsible party unscheduled, high follow-up costs and extra expenditure. SIMARIS design greatly facilitates this highly responsible but tedious planning task. The program – handles the compilation of device parameters and characteristic tripping curves – filters out the most unsuitable device combination in a power supply line (grading path)

Circuits can easily be parameterized
– performs a selectivity evaluation of the device combination taking those minimum and maximum short-circuit currents into account which would be unfavorable for this combination – and, besides the visual check of the characteristic device curves, it also takes manufacturer information on the dynamic switching behavior of tested device combinations in the time range less than 100 ms into account Present device protection settings can subsequently be adjusted via the switchgear panels. Here too, the integrated database in SIMARIS design with real device data demonstrates its advantages. Exactly those setting options will be suggested which are permitted for the currently selected device. Selected protection settings will automatically be checked for permissibility in the background.
Automatic selection of mediumvoltage and low-voltage switchgear stations and distribution boards including device equipping per panel
The planner does not require any product-specific switchgear knowhow.
SIMARIS design realizes a holistic planning approach covering device dimensioning as well as the layout of the required switchgear panels and subdistributions.

File generation for documentation purposes, such as TÜV-approved selectivity proofs, device settings, calculation results, tender specifications, material price calculations, single-line diagrams / enclosure views and panel equipping in CAD format for further editing, e.g. in AutoCAD All data and planning results featuring the entire installation, such as C Calculation and input data C Single-line diagram views C Layout of the switchgear installation and distribution board panels can be directly output to a printer or viewed on screen, and can also be exported to other programs, e.g. AutoCAD for further editing. File formats of the output files are oriented to customary Office programs running in the various Windows operating systems. If desired, all documents can also be output in English.

Comprehensive documentation with easy data transfer (Office, CAD etc.)
Text modules for tender specifications, so-called specifications of work and services, can also be generated in the program and used for drawing up a planning tender. For the compilation of these texts, a great emphasis has been placed both on the adoption of relevant basic technical data and the documentation of technical highlights incorporated in the proposed devices and distribution boards. With a panel-based material price calculation, the planner receives a first overview of the business volume involved in the planned installation.
