Using Masterpact Closing the circuit breaker

Locally (electrical)

Closing conditionsClosing (i.e. turning the circuit ON) is possible only if the circuit breaker is"ready to close".The prerequisites are the following:c device open (OFF)c springs chargedc no opening order present.

The circuit breaker will not close unless it is "ready to close" when the orderis given.

Closing the circuit breaker

Locally (mechanical)Press the mechanical ON pushbutton.

Remotely

Anti-pumping functionThe purpose of the mechanical anti-pumping function is to ensure that a circuitbreaker receiving simultaneous opening and closing orders does not open andclose indefinitely.If there is a continuous closing order, after opening the circuit breaker remainsopen until the closing order is discontinued. A new closing order is required to closethe circuit breaker. A new order is not required if the closing release is wired inseries with the PF "ready to close" contact.

Press the electrical closingpushbutton. By adding anXF closing release, thecircuit breaker can be closedlocally.

Inspecting and testingbefore use

Initial testsProcedure

A general check of the circuit breaker takes only a few minutes and avoids any riskof mistakes due to errors or negligence.A general check must be carried out:c prior to initial usec following an extended period during which the circuit breaker is not used.

A check must be carried out with the entire switchboard de-energised.In switchboards with compartments, only those compartments that may beaccessed by the operators must be de-energised.

Electrical testsInsulation and dielectric-withstand tests must be carried out immediately afterdelivery of the switchboard. These tests are precisely defined by internationalstandards and must be directed and carried out by a qualified expert.

Prior to running the tests, it is absolutely necessary to:c disconnect all the electrical auxiliaries of the circuit breaker (MCH, MX, XF, MN,Res electrical remote reset)c remove the long-time rating plug on the 7.0 A, 5.0 P, 6.0 P, 7.0 P, 5.0 H, 6.0 H,7.0 H control units. Removal of the rating plug disconnects the voltagemeasurement input.

Switchboard inspectionCheck that the circuit breakers are installed in a clean environment, free of anyinstallation scrap or items (tools, electrical wires, broken parts or shreds, metalobjects, etc.).

Conformity with the installation diagramCheck that the devices conform with the installation diagram:c breaking capacities indicated on the rating platesc identification of the control unit (type, rating)c presence of any optional functions (remote ON/OFF with motor mechanism,auxiliaries, measurement and indication modules, etc.)c protection settings (long time, short time, instantaneous, earth fault)c identification of the protected circuit marked on the front of each circuit breaker.

Condition of connections and auxiliariesCheck device mounting in the switchboard and the tightness of power connections.Check that all auxiliaries and accessories are correctly installed:c electrical auxiliariesc terminal blocksc connections of auxiliary circuits.

OperationCheck the mechanical operation of the circuit breakers:c opening of contactsc closing of contacts.

Check on the control unitCheck the control unit of each circuit breaker using the respective user manuals.

These operations must be carried out inparticular before using a Masterpact devicefor the first time.

Masterpact NT Schneider Electric41

Note the faultFaults are signalled locally and remotely by the indicators and auxiliary contactsinstalled on circuit breakers (depending on each configuration). See page 12 in thismanual and the user manual of the control unit for information on the faultindications available with your circuit breaker.

Identify the cause of trippingA circuit must never be reclosed (locally or remotely) before the cause of the faulthas been identified and cleared.

A fault may have a number of causes:c depending on the type of control unit, fault diagnostics are available. See the usermanual for the control unit.c depending on the type of fault and the criticality of the loads, a number ofprecautionary measures must be taken, in particular the insulation and dielectrictests on a part of or the entire installation. These checks and test must be directedand carried out by qualified personnel.

Inspect the circuit breaker following a short-circuitc check the arc chutes (see page 43)c check the contacts (see page 43)c check the tightness of connections (see the device installation manual)c check the disconnecting-contact clusters (see page 43).

Reset the circuit breakerThe circuit breaker can be reset locally or remotely. See page 12 in this manual forinformation on how the circuit breaker can be reset.

Troubleshooting andsolutions

Problem Probable causes Solutionscircuit breaker cannot be closed remotely or locally c circuit breaker padlocked or keylocked v disable the locking function

in the "open" positionc circuit breaker interlocked v modify the situation to release the

interlockc circuit breaker not completely connected v terminate racking in (connection)

of the circuit breakerc pushbutton indicator signalling a fault v reset the pushbutton indicatortrip has not been resetc circuit breaker not charged (spring v if the circuit breaker is not equippedmechanism) with an MCH gear motor, charge it

manuallyv if it is equipped with an MCH gearmotor, check the supply of power tothe motor

c MX shunt release supplied with power v there is an opening order.Determine the origin of the order.The order must be cancelled beforethe circuit breaker can be closed.

c MN undervoltage release activated v there is an opening order.Determine the origin of the order.v check the voltage and the supplycircuit (U > 0.85 Un)

c the XF closing release continuously v cut the supply of power to the XFsupplied with power, but circuit closing release, then send the closingbreaker not "ready to close" order again via the XF, but only if the(XF not wired in series with PF contact) circuit breaker is "ready to close"

circuit breaker cannot be closed remotely, can be c XF closing release not supplied with v check the voltage and the supplyopened locally using the closing pushbutton enough power circuit (U > 0.85 Un)unexpected tripping (pushbutton indicator signalling c MN undervoltage release supply voltage v check the voltage and the supplya fault trip not activated) too low circuit (U > 0.85 Un)

c load-shedding order sent by another v check the overall load on thedevice distribution system

v if necessary, modify the settings ofdevices in the installation

003A Ambient temperature

Masterpact NT devices can operate under the following temperature conditions:c the electrical and mechanical characteristics are stipulated for an ambienttemperature of -5 °C to +70 °Cc circuit-breaker closing is guaranteed down to -35 °Cc Masterpact NW (without the control unit) can be stored in an ambienttemperature of -40 °C to +85 °Cc the control unit can be stored in an ambient temperature of -25 °C to +85 °C.

Extreme atmospheric conditionsMasterpact NT devices have successfully passed the tests defined by the followingstandards for extreme atmospheric conditions:c IEC 68-2-1: dry cold at -55 °Cc IEC 68-2-2: dry heat at +85 °Cc IEC 68-2-30: damp heat (temperature +55 °C, relative humidity 95%)c IEC 68-2-52 level 2: salt mist.

Masterpact NT devices can operate in the industrial environments defined bystandard IEC 947 (pollution degree up to 4).

It is nonetheless advised to check that the devices are installed in suitably cooledswitchboards without excessive dust.

VibrationsMasterpact NT devices resist electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations.Tests are carried out in compliance with standard IEC 68-2-6 for the levels requiredby merchant-marine inspection organisations (Veritas, Lloyd’s, etc.):c 2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude ±1 mmc 13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g.

Excessive vibration may cause tripping, breaks in connections or damage tomechanical parts.
