There are two kinds of protection modes: Vector sum, Source Ground Return
Vector sum: Measures current between phase line and neutral in a TN-S system. When ground fault occurred,
part of the current will flow back to transformer via PE line, causing the current vector sum
(Ig= Ia+Ib+Ic+IN) no longer equal to 0, thus detecting ground fault. Adding an external current
transformer to 4 poles or the N phase of 3 pole (3P+N) breaker, and pair with an internal sensor to
send signal to controller, opening the breaker when ground fault occurred.

Note: Notification by LED indicator only for AIC-E / AIC-A controller. Signal output support for AIC-H controller.

■ MCR Protection
MCR is a protection for instantaneous short-circuit current when circuit breaker is connected. The breaker will
instantaneous trip when a short circuit current (≥12In) occurred during closing operation (≤100ms), operation
time is ≤60ms.

Current setting value IMCR = 12In

The instantaneous and ground fault protection for neutral line will activate with the setting of Ir.

The overload and short circuit short time delay protection for neutral line will activate with the setting of Ir
100%Ir Full protection
The instantaneous and ground fault protection for neutral line will activate with the setting of Ir.

OFF None Non-neutral wire protection

■ Thermal Memory Functions

Repeated overload can heat up the conductor or other devices. The controller can simulate the heating
conditions as well as the Overload long-time delay, short-circuit short time delay and other fault or delay
actions to generate the thermal effect (simulating characteristics of the double-metal piece). The overload
long-time delay thermal effect energy will be completely released in 30 minutes after eliminating the fault. For
short-circuit delay thermal effect energy, it will be completely released in 15 minutes after eliminating the fault.
During the period, the delay time will be shortened if the reclosing circuit breaker has overload long-time delay
or short circuit short-time delay. This is to provide circuits and devices better protection.

 ■ Current Unbalance Protection
INSTRUCTIONS

Current unbalance protection is to protect when loss of phase or unbalance of phase current, the protection is
based on unbalance percentage.
When the 3 phase current unbalance is greater than Pickup threshold and time, the breaker will trip or send out
alarm signal. When the protection type is set to alarm, alarm signal will disarm when the unbalance value is less
then Pickup threshold and time.

INSTRUCTIONS

Reverse power protection is active when sum of 3 phase's active power direction is different form the user
setting, and the value is greater than the setting value and time.

■ Phase sequence protection

If 2 out of the 3 phase voltage is reverse, the protection will activate. If one phase is gone, the protection will
deactivate.

Operation 60s

The controller can program the output of two passive signal contacts for load monitor. The output signal
contacts can be used for monitoring alerts, controlling the load of tripping sub-circuit and ensuring a normal
power supply for the main system. There are two types of load monitor methods available (the user can choose
one of them).
1. Method 1: It can be used to control two sub-circuit loads. When the working current exceeds 1.2Ic1 or 1.2Ic2,
controller will delay the output of signal contacts according to inverse time characteristics. The
characteristic curve of inverse time and the characteristic curve of overload long-time delay are
the same, but the setting current value can be set independently.
2. Method 2: It is generally used to control sub-circuit loads. When the working current exceeds 1.2Ic1, the controller
will output signal contact point break sub-circuit load according to inverse time characteristics.
The characteristic curve of inverse time and the characteristic curve of overload long-time delay
are the same, but the setting value has to be Ic1Ic2. If after tripping the sub-circuit load, the current
will return to normal. When the current is lower than Ic2 for 60s continuously, the controller will
output another signal contact to pick up the broken load and restore the power supply of system.

Zone-selective interlocking (ZSI) has multiple classified protection system which is designed to minimize
the faulty impact on whole electrical distribution system by reducing the time it takes to clear the fault and
maintaining system coordination. This function is suit with short circuit and ground fault protection (I2t is set to
off )

Example：
1. Occurrence of Fault A: The upstream breaker (1#) received no signal from downstream breaker and performs
instantaneous trip operation to protect system.
2. Occurrence of Fault B: Breaker (2#) will send ZSI signal to upstream breaker (1#) and breaker (1#) will obey their
delay setting to maintain coordination in other areas of the system. Breaker (2#) received no ZSI signal from
downstream breaker and performs instantaneous trip operation.

Connection and limits:

Use twisted pair or shielded cable, 14AWG-2.5mm2/22AWG-0.4mm2, maximum length of 300m.
Maximum of 15 downstream equipment can be connect to input of ZSI（Zi1-Zi2）
Maximum of 15 upstream equipment can be connect to output of ZSI（Zo1-Zo2）.

Note: 1. The terminals breaker's Zi1 and Zi2 should be shorted, if its open, ZSI will trip when short-circuit and ground fault occurred.
2. Upper breaker's Isd or Ig cannot set to 0s, or ZSI may not be working properly.

■ Self-diagnosed functions
When the working environment of the controller exceeds 70℃ or when 60% of the contact has been worn off
or when the circuit breaker cannot be tripped, the user would be notified by controller and relevant parameters
will meanwhile be recorded.

■ Trip/Alarm / Self-diagnosed records

Record up to 10 events records during faulted, including date, fault status and data.
Tripping fault type: overcurrent, ground fault / leakage (optional), current unbalance, voltage protection,
frequency protection reserves power.
Alarm fault type: ground fault / leakage (optional), current unbalance, voltage protection, frequency
protection reserves power.
Self-diagnosed fault type: over-temperature, contacts worn, breaker refused to trip.

■ Position change record

Every switch of mode is count as a position change, and the record detail is as listed:
Position Change date (year, month, day, hour, minute, second).
Position Change type (Open / close / trip).
Position Change reason (Manual / remote / fault / test).
Position Change record can show up to 10 times of recent switching record.

■ Operation counter
The total number of operating cycles will be registered and the data cannot be manually cleared.

■ Contact wearing rate

The controller will simulate and calculate the circuit breaker's main contact wearing rate according to
information such as the fault current at tripping. The contact value of the controller from the factory is 100%,
indicating no wearing of the contact point. The contact will be worn by a certain level due to every fault
induced tripping. If the value obtained from subtracting the corresponding amount of wearing from the current
contact value is less than 40%, the system will send out a self-diagnosed fault alert signal. After changing the
main contact of the circuit breaker, the user can reset the initial wear rate to 100% through the human-machine
interface or remote communication.

■ Test function
The controller will simulation an instantaneous trip test, causing the breaker to trip. It is use for breaker's on-site
debugging, regular maintenance and trouble shooting. The red reset button must be press before closing the
breaker every time, cannot be press during normal operation.

■ System clock
The system clock function is for recording the time and date during faults.

AIR CIRCUIT BREAKER

13.1 Mounting

■ Before mounting, check the specifications of the circuit breaker to make sure if they meet
the requirements.
■ Before mounting, check the insulator resistance with a 500V megger. The resistance should
not be less than 10MÙwhen the surrounding medium temperature is 20℃ +5℃ with a
relative humidity between 50% and 70%. If not, please dry it until the insulator resistance
satisfies the requirements.
■ The base of the breaker should be installed horizontally and ¬fixed by M10 screws.
■ Circuit breakers should have reliable ground fault, and the ground fault points should be
clearly marked. Fixed-type circuit breakers should strictly follow safe distance regulations.
■ After mounting a circuit breaker according to the wiring diagram, the circuit breaker should
be tested for the following matters before the main circuit is powered (for a drawer-type of
circuit breaker, follow the instructions on the cradle for testing).
A. Check if the under-voltage, shunt release and closing electromagnet have well matched electric motor
operation voltage (the breaker cannot be operated unless the under-voltage release is closed).

B. Energy-storage will be indicated after tripping the handle on the cover seven times. When hearing a click
sound, energy storing is completed. Press the closing button or turn o-the electromagnetic switch to securely
close the circuit breaker. Flip the handle again to start energy storage.

C. Turn on the power of electric motor energy storage device and"energy storage"will be displayed.
There will be a click sound when energy storage is completed. The motor will be turned o-automatically.
Press the"closing"button or closing the electromagnetic switch for closing the circuit breaker reliably.

D. When the breaker is closed in a tripping test (See 8.2.3d), the circuit breaker should be tripped by the tripping
button of under-voltage or the release shunt or the tripping button on the cover.
