Transparent protection covers
a) Protection covers for opening and closing pushbuttons
These protection covers, applied over the opening and closing pushbuttons, prevent the corresponding circuit-breaker operations
except by using a special tool.
b) IP54 door protection
This is provided by means of a transparent plastic escutcheon plate which fully protects the front of the circuit-breaker and ensures
a degree of protection to IP54. Mounted on hinges, it is fitted with a key lock.
Interlock between circuit-breakers
This mechanism makes the mechanical interlock between two or three circuit-breakers (even of different sizes and in any fixed/
withdrawable version) by means of a flexible cable. The electrical circuit diagram for the electrical changeover by means of a
relay (to be provided by the customer) is supplied with the mechanical interlock. The circuit-breakers can be installed vertically
or horizontally.
4 types of interlocks are available:
type A: between 2 circuit-breakers (power supply + emergency)
type B: between 3 circuit-breakers (2 power supplies + emergency)
type C: between 3 circuit-breakers (2 power supplies + bus-tie)
type D: between 3 circuit-breakers (3 power supplies / a single closed circuit-breaker)
The emergency power supply is generally supplied in order to substitute the normal power supply in two cases:
- to supply safety services for people.
- to supply essential parts of the installation for other than the safety services.
The change over from the normal supply to the emergency supply, can be done manually (with a local or remote control) or
automatically. For the change over, the circuit-breakers must be supplied with the necessary accessories for the electrical remote
control and for electrical and mechanical interlocks provided for the changing over.
The accessories can be for example:
- the shunt opening release
- the shunt closing release
- the motor operator
- the auxiliary contacts
For the change over, the customer can use a suitable electronic relay, whose diagram is supplied by ABB SACE. The mechani-
cal interlocks between two or three circuit-breakers are made by means of cables that can be used for circuit-breakers installed,
either side-by-side or one over the other.
Table of feasible mechanical interlocks between two or three circuit-breakers
Type of
interlock
Number
of circuit-
breakers
Type of circuit-breaker Possible interlocks
A TWO
A normal power supply unit and an emergency
unit.
The first circuit-breaker can be closed only if the
second (emergency) breaker is open.
B THREE
Two normal power supply units and an emer-
gency unit.
The first and third circuit-breakers can be closed
only if the second (emergency) breaker is open.
The latter can be closed only if the first and third
are open.
C THREE
A unit of 2 supplies and a bus-tie.
The two half-busbars can be supplied by a
single transformer (bus-tie closed) or simultane-
ously by both (bus-tie open).
One or two circuit-breakers out of three can be
closed at the same time.
D THREE
A unit of 3 supplies / a single closed circuit-
breaker. Three supplies (generators or trans-
formers) on the same busbar for which parallel
operation is not allowed.
Only one of the three circuit-breakers can be
closed.
