    There are two ways to add earth-leakage protection to Compact NSX100 to 630 circuit breakers: 1) By adding a Vigi module directly to the circuit breaker, which actuates the trip unit in the event of an insulation fault. 2) By using a Vigirex relay and separate toroids, which adds special tripping thresholds and time delays for earth-leakage protection. The Vigirex relay is useful when installation constraints limit space or retrofitting an installed circuit breaker.

    Earth-leakage protection

    Add-on protection against insulation faults using a Vigi module or Vigirex relay

    There are two ways to add earth-leakage protection to any three or four-pole Compact NSX100 to 630 circuit breaker equipped with a magnetic, thermal-magnetic or Micrologic 2, 5 or 6 trip unit: b by adding a Vigi module to the circuit breaker to form a Vigicompact NSX b by using a Vigirex relay and separate toroids.

    Circuit breaker with add-on Vigi module (Vigicompact NSX)


    b For general characteristics of circuit breakers, see pages A-6 and A-7. b Add-on Vigi modules. Earth-leakage protection is achieved by installing a Vigi module (characteristics and selection criteria on next page) directly on the circuit breaker terminals It directly actuates the trip unit (magnetic, thermal-magnetic or Micrologic).

    Circuit breaker combined with a Vigirex relay


    Compact NSX circuit breaker + Vigirex relay
    Vigirex relays may be used to add external earth-leakage protection to Compact NSX circuit breakers. The circuit breakers must be equipped with an MN or MX voltage release. The Vigirex relays add special tripping thresholds and time delays for earth-leakage protection. Vigirex relays are very useful when faced with major installation constraints (circuit breaker already installed and connected, limited space available, etc.). Vigirex-relay characteristics b Sensitivity adjustable from 30 mA to 250 mA and 9 time-delay settings (0 to 4.5 seconds). b Closed toroids up to 630 A (30 to 300 mm in diameter), split toroids up to 250 A (46 to 110 mm in diameter) or rectangular sensors up to 630 A. b 50/60 Hz, 400 Hz distribution systems. Options b Trip indication by a fail-safe contact b Pre-alarm contact and LED, etc.

    Vigicompact NSX100 to 630.
