installed. Serious injury, electrocution , and/or e quip­
ment damage wi l l result if circuit breakers are
improperly applied or precaution is not used .
De-energ ize a l l incoming power prior to i nstal lation
of circuit b reakers or associated accessories.

 General Information

I ntroduction
Siemens SB Encased Systems Breakers bridge the per­
formance gap between Molded Case C i rcuit B reakers
(MCCB) and Low Voltage Power Circuit Breakers (LVPCB).
Modern computer-aided design and manufacturing tools
were u sed to effectively blend the tech nologies of the
om
.c
facilities. The circuit b reakers are constructed for either
fixed or drawout installation . They can be physically
g rouped i n central distribution switch boards , or used
separately i n stand-alone applications.
The SB breaker is equipped with a two-step stored energy
mechanism for closing and opening the breaker contacts .

MCCB and LVPCB . This combination has resulted in a
After a closing operation , sufficient energy is retained in
family of encased systems c i rcuit breakers that exh ibit

Applications for SB b reakers include main , tie, feeder, and

 General Information

Frame Sizes and Frame Ampere Ratings
SB breakers come in three frame sizes with frame ampere
ratings ranging from 400 to 4000 amperes . All frames are
rated for 1 00% continuous operation. This particular in­
struction g u ide provides detailed SB breaker information
for the 800, 1 200 and 2000 ampere frame sizes. Frame
om
.c
The interruption rating of the SB breaker is specified on the
front cover label, and is further identified by the use of a
"color bar" at the top left of the breaker label . Blue
indicates the "alternate" or the lowest interrupting cat­
egory. Black indicates the "standard" or middle interrupt­
ing ratin g . A Red label i ndicates the h ig hest available

The two elements of a drawout constructed SB Encased

moveable drawout element can be easily pulled between
the unlocked position and the withdrawn position . A color

the user to make p roper selections and settings.
An adjustment will automatically revert to its minimum

G round Fault Sensing Scheme
The fol lowing are brief descriptions of the ground fault

the g round fau lt sensing schemes is contained in N EMA

Residual (3-Phase, 3-Wire). Under normal system condi­
tions (without g round fault), the vector sum of the phase
c urrents being mon itored by the trip u n it is zero. This is
also true under the cond ition of an overcu rrent phase-to­
phase fault and phase-u nbalance cond ition . When a
phase-to-ground fault occurs, the vector sum of the
phase currents is d irectly p roportional to the magnitude of
the fau lt. The trip unit's microprocessor uses this vector
sum d ata in the execution of the g round fault protection
function. The trip u n it util izes the internal breaker c urrent
transformers. No external cu rrent transformers are re­
quired .
Residual (3-Phase, 4-Wire) . I n the 3-Phase , 4-Wi re Resi­
dual scheme a fou rth c urrent transformer is connected in
the neutral conductor to "Sense" normal neutral cu rrents.
Under normal system cond itions the vector sum of the
ar
c urrents in all phases equals the neutral cu rrent. This is
also true under the cond ition of an overcurrent phase-to­

Zero Sequence. This scheme i s very simi lar t o the Residual

Schemes. A core balance type current sensor encircles all
phase cond uctors and neutral on a 4-wi re system . Under
normal system cond itions or a phase-to-phase fault con­
d ition, there is no output from the sensor to the trip u nit
because the vector sum of the currents th roug h the
tM
sensor window is zero. If a g round fault occurs , the g round
c urrent is not seen by the sensor, which returns to the
source by a path other than through the sensor window.
The sensor detects this c urrent un balance and p rovides
the data requ i red by the trip unit to execute the g round
fault p rotection function. The zero sequence sensor is
connected to the neutral transformer input on the trip unit.

ua
The integ ral test function enables the user to "exercise"
the trip u n it electronics, the magnetic latc h , and the
breaker mechanism. The purpose of the i ntegral test
an
function is to provide the user an easy means to conduct
a "go/no go" type test before bringing the breaker on-l ine.
After the breaker has been brought on-line, it may be used
d u ring routine inspection and maintenance.
Both phase fau lt cu rrent p rotection and g round fau lt
current protection may be tested . The integral g round fault
test function tests the c i rcuit breaker's g round fau lt p ro­
tection system in accordance with N EC Article 230-95(c).
Electrical power to operate the integral test fu nction is
provided internally, if the breaker is closed and the phase
currents are g reater than 20% of the frame ampere rating
ln, or by a plug-in power source (see Accessories section).
The user may execute the test function in either a "no trip"
mode, which will test only the trip u nit electronics, or a
"trip " mode, which will also test the magnetic latch and
breaker mechanism. The execution of the integral test
function in both the "no trip" and "trip" modes is based on
the setti ngs of the long time delay and g round fault d elay
adj ustments. Therefore, the Phase Test wi l l take several
seconds to execute and the G round Fault Test will appear
to be nearly i nstantaneous . To execute a test function in
the "no trip" mode, depress the appropriate push button
test switch , Phase or GF. As the trip unit is performing the
test, the Testing lndicato r will light. lfthe trip unit success­
fully passes the test, the Pass I n d icator will l ight. If the
Pass I n d icator does not l ight after the Testing I nd icator
ind icates that the test is complete , a more exten sive test
should be run with Siemens TS-3 1 Un iversal Test Kit (see
Accessories).
CAUTION : Before conducting a "Trip" test on a S B
breaker w h i c h is "Closed" and i n service, caution
should be taken to evaluate effects on downstream
loads. The breaker will open during testing, result­
ing in a disruption of service.

Electric Motor Operator tM
An electric operator provides for electric charging of the

springs of the stored energy mechanism, remote closing,
spring charging status indication, latch c heckin g , and
anti-pump functions. The standard wiring scheme of the
electric operator is such that the springs are automatically
lP

recharged after each closing operation . This can be mod i­

fied by the customer if desired.
The electric operator is installed in the front compartment
ca

of the SB breaker. The main contact status check switch

is i nstal led on the right side, behind the trip u nit and
beneath the reset p late. Al l other components of the
e lectric operator a�e instal led on the left side. The motor

the installation, the breaker shou ld be in the open position

Undervoltage Release
The undervoltage release ( UVR) trips the SB breaker in
