Zone selective interlocking (Z)
A number of circuit breakers areinterconnected one after another by a pilot-wire In the event of a short-time or earthfault, the control unit applies the set timedelay only if it receives a signal from adownstream circuit breaker If not, it tripsinstantaneously (tripping time as 0.1 short-time setting) In this way, the fault is clearedrapidly by the nearest circuit breaker Thethermal stresses in the installation areminimised while maintaining timediscrimination throughout the entireinstallation

On request, the earth fault protection may be

For a complete protection of the motor and
its control device, overload protection may
be ensured by either:
c the circuit breaker;

Whatever the power of the motor, the
coordination between circuit breaker,

The circuit breakers presented here:
c provide protection against short-circuits;
c are suitable for isolation as defined by
IEC 947-2 standard
For a complete protection of the motor and
its control device, overload protection may
be ensured by either:
c the circuit breaker;
c a separate Telemecanique thermal relay.
The control device may be of the direct
on-line type (with or without reversing) or of the
"star-delta" type
Combinations are governed by IEC 947-4
standard
protection coordination
(as defined by IEC 947-4)
Whatever the power of the motor, the
coordination between circuit breaker,
contactor and relay can be of either type 1 or
2 (see the complementary technical
information chapter page 195) Selection
depends on operational requirements
concerning continuity of service and the
technical skills of servicing personnel
All type 2 Merlin Gerin/Telemecanique
combinations have been tested under the
conditions defined by standards, and they
are certified ASEFA/LOVAG
