Selectivity/Discrimination Fig. 1

Fig. 1 depicts a typical distribution network. Here

outgoing circuits are designed for the current load and
the characteristics of the equipment within the circuit.
Outgoing circuits that protect a certain area are placed
together in panels or form groups within panels.
Typically this group of circuits is protected by a second,
similar device, the characteristics of which are
determined in the same manner. This system can be
extended to a multiple level distribution network.
In case of a fault it is necessary that the device nearest
Application guide

to the fault reacts while all others remain closed.

This capability is called discrimination (UK) or selectivity
(USA and Europe). If this requirement is not met, a fault
(F) in one arm of the distribution system will cause a
number of upstream protection devices wired in series to
trip. Thus a minor fault in a socket outlet of a circuit can
cause whole floors, buildings or building complexes to be
cut off from the power supply.

Record PlusTM breakers are specifically designed to

discriminate. By introducing Record PlusTM. GE sets a new
standard in circuit breakers by offering total selectivity
for all normally proportioned distribution systems.

EN 60947-2 amendment 1, app. A defines under

“Coordination” that discrimination/selectivity may be
A partial up to a pre-defined current limit (Is).
Discrimination is considered total when the current
limit is equal to the rated short-circuit breaking
capacity (Icu or Ics) of the downstream device.
B Discrimination/Selectivity is determined by comparing
Fig. 2
the time it takes an upstream device to react at a
specific current value and - again - comparing this to
the time it takes a downstream device to clear the fault
C at the same current level. (see Fig. 2) The comparison of
these two time spans can be used to define whether
discrimination is present or not .
D We have simplified this comparison by applying a
multiplication factor between downstream and
upstream devices. With the values indicated in the
table we can guarantee discrimination.
E (see page E.15)

F 3D discrimination
Record PlusTM downstream-protection-device breakers
limit the energy and current in the protected circuit in a
G limited time frame. The use of relatively minor time
delays in the short-circuit protection of the upstream Fig. 3
breaker, allows the Record PlusTM line of circuit breakers
X to achieve total discrimination. Fig. 3 depicts this
comparison technique. In this graph the Grey area
indicates the time and current values the downstream
Msec.
breaker allows to flow in the circuit . The coloured area
depicts the current- and energy-reaction level of the
upstream device within a certain set time frame.

Table D1 to D5 (page E.16-E.19) indicate the discrimination up to the highest breaking capacity of the

Selectivity/Discrimination
discrimination levels that can be achieved with devices.
Record PlusTM and associated devices. Where These discrimination/selectivity limits are only valid if the
discrimination is partial the selectivity limits in kA (Is) are ratio between the current settings, ratings or time
mentioned in kA. settings of the upstream and downstream breaker are
Where a "T" is found in the tables, this indicates total equal or higher than the factor indicated here.

Back-up protection
One of the operational requirements for a protective
device is that its rated short-circuit breaking capacity
Icu or Ics is either equal or greater than the prospective
short-circuit current at the point where it is installed.
EN 60384 defines one exception to this in clause 434:

The upstream device must posses the necessary rated

short-circuit breaking capacity at its point of installation.
The upstream device must coordinate with the
downstream device in a manner that will limit the energy
Application guide

and short-circuit values to levels that the downstream

device can handle.

Use of current limitation

Installing an upstream device that limits the prospective
short-circuit values will enable the user to place a
downstream device with a lower breaking capacity.
The coordination between the two devices allows
excellent breaking capacity at a low cost.
A
Record PlusTM
The Record PlusTM rotating dual contact configuration
B limits the energy and current values of prospective faults
to extremely low values. This key design feature allows
the use of cost-effective downstream devices while
C maintaining overall system protection.
Back-up protection is inherently „unselective“ or
„non-discriminating“. That means that the upstream
device must react first in order to protect the
D downstream device. However, the Record PlusTM devices
are so current limiting that the current and energy
values present in the circuit do not trip the upstream
breaker. Please refer to the details on „Selectivity Plus“
E for a description of this technique.

The tables B1 and B2 are in complete accordance with

F the EN 60947-2 requirements and have been verified
through experiment where necessary. They provide data
for the Record PlusTM breaker and the other
GE Industrial Systems product lines.
G The values are only applicable for the devices
mentioned.

Coordination with loadbreak

Coordination with disconnectors

Record PlusTM circuit breakers excel in their
characteristics as current and energy limiting
devices. This allows one to use lighter and more
economical downstream busbar systems and
switchgear.

A frequently used combination is that of a

Record PlusTM breaker, used as a protection and
switching device in the mains switchboard, and a
Dilos loadbreak switch, as an incomer, in a
downstream, secondary switchboard. In this
application the Dilos needs to be able to withstand
the current and energy values on a short-circuit
event , this taking the limiting effects of the
upstream breaker into account .

The table indicates the maximum prospective

short-circuit that the combination of an upstream
Record PlusTM and a downstream Dilos or
Record PlusTM in its switch disconnect variant
(type Y) can withstand.

Protection of motor circuits

General
In a circuit that provides power to a motor a
number of protective and control devices are
normally present . The combination of these
devices must be coordinated to ensure the
efficiency and an optimal protection of the motor.
Here, the protection of such circuits strongly
depends on the operational requirements, as
the application for which the motor is used, the

required starting frequency, the required service

level and the applicable safety standards.

Protection of the electrical circuit

The motor circuit must provide the following
functionality:
• Isolate the circuit from the network for maintenance.
• Protect against short-circuits in the equipment ,
the starter and the cables within the circuit .
• Protect against overloads in the equipment ,
the starter and the cables within the circuit .
• Protect against faults specific to the motor within it's
application.
Control of the motor in question, this covering starting,
stopping, speed control etc.

This entails that the GE equipment meets the Short-circuit test

following standards
• No or minor weldings of the contactors after testing; This value which is generally ≤ 50kA is used to check the coordination
of the devices used in the motor starter circuit. For each combination
contact separation is simple and easy with Record PlusTM breakers this value is mentioned in the tables on
• The switchgear and controlgear are fully operational pages E.28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33.
After a test with this current the following conditions must be met:
after the tests indicated here. • No or minor weldings of the contactors after testing; contact
separation is simple and easy
• The switchgear and controlgear are fully operational after the test.

Solutions with the Record PlusTM breaker

Motor starters are compiled with a number of
GE components. This is to offer the required
functionality of the motor starter circuit and to
allow a choice in the execution thereof.

After power is disconnected (circuit interruption after a fault) the

G
breaker has no thermal memory function. This implies that after an
overload, immediate breaker reset and re-energization of the
circuit is possible.
In order to prevent this a Long time module can be utilized that X
closes a contact on an overload just before the breaker trips. This
allowing the contactor in the circuit to be de-energized and a external
thermal memory to be initialized, before the breaker trips.

The sketch here depicts the long time module as an

optional add on in the circuit diagram. Here the breaker
is the short-circuit protection device AND a backup
overload protection. If the contactor fails to open on a
long time module signal the breaker will trip.

 Record Plus
Protection of LV/LV transformers
Transformers generally produce a very high inrush
current . The crest value of the first half cycle may
reach values of 15 to 25 times the effective rated
current .
For a protective device capable of protecting these FD160 LTMD type
units this must be taken into account . Manufacturers
data and tests have indicated that a protective device
FD160 SMR1 type
feeding a transformer must be capable of carrying the
following current values without tripping (see graph
insert).
