and for transmission of these signals to the PROFIBUS DP or module (retro-

• Various output modules for displaying measured values.
This means that it is not only possible to monitor the device re-
motely, but also to transmit current values from the entire system
and perform switching operations remotely.
I2t and I4t characteristic curve for overload protection
Example of configuration for ETU45B
The best protection for the whole switchgear is achieved by set-
ting the tripping characteristic curve to an optimum value. In or-
der to achieve optimal discrimination for upstream fuses or me-
dium voltage protection systems, the inclination of the
characteristic curve can be selected for the overload range.
The overload protection L (long time protection) for the elec-
tronic releases ETU45B and ETU76B allows the characteristic
curve to be switched between I2t and I4t.
The I4t characteristic improves discrimination for downstream
circuit breakers and fuses.
Electronic releases ETU
Modularity has also been strictly emphasized during the devel-
opment of the electronic releases. These are some of the mod-
ules which can be easily retrofitted at any time:
• Ground-fault protection module
• Communication
• Measurement function
• Display
• Rated current module (Rating Plug)
This allows quick adaptation to new local mains specifications.
In addition, innovative functions have been included in the ETUs.

it optimally to the plant; e.g.if a new plant section is taken into op-
eration. The rated current module must be selected to fit the Selectable parameters
rated current of the plant.
In the case of quick changes of power supply conditions,
e. g. for switchovers from transformer to generator operation or
if a section of the supply is disconnected when the shift
changes, the 3WL circuit breaker allows the relevant protection
parameters to be quickly adapted to the new conditions.
The ETU76B contains two independent tripping characteristic
curves (parameter sets). The switchover is completed within
200 ms and is performed with the help of an external signal.

3WL circuit breakers for DC applications
This version of the 3WL non-automatic air circuit breaker is suit-
able for direct current applications. The external protective de-
vice DIGmat S100 provides adjustable overload and short-cir-
cuit protection for 3WL non-automatic air circuit breakers.
This is based on the measuring chain of a shunt resistor and the
DIGmat S100 tripping unit. Shunt resistors are available for
1000 A, 2000 A and 4000 A (special ranges on request).
They are in accordance with DIN 43703 and have a class
accuracy of 0.5.
A measuring-circuit voltage of 60 mV DC is picked off for rated

CubicleBUS modules
Digital output modules with rotary coding switch
6 items of binary information concerning the state of the circuit
breaker (reasons for tripping and warnings) can be output via
this module to external signaling devices (e. g. light, horn) or be
used for the selective shut-down of other system components
(e. g. frequency converters).
Digital output modules are available in versions with and without
a rotary coding switch. On modules with a rotary coding switch
it is possible to choose between two signaling blocks each with
6 defined assignments and to set an additional response delay. Analog output modules
All the digital output modules are available as a version with re- Digital input module
lay outputs (CO contacts, up to 12 A). Up to two modules of this With the digital input module, up to 6 additional binary signals
type can be connected to one 3WL circuit breaker. (24 V DC) in the circuit breaker environment can be connected
to the system. It is thus possible for example to send messages
concerning the state of a switch disconnector or a control cabi-
net door to the PROFIBUS DP/MODBUS.
With the digital input module on the CubicleBUS it is also possi-
ble for the two different protection parameter sets held in the
ETU76B electronic releases to be switched over automatically in
a few milliseconds. It is thus possible, for example, to automati-
cally change the parameters of a coupling switch should the
transformer infeed fail.
One module each of this type can be used for holding the six
items of digital information and for automatically switching over
Digital output modules with rotary coding switch the parameters.
Digital output modules, configurable
The configurable output module is available for higher-perfor-
mance solutions. With this module, random events on the
CubicleBUS can be switched directly to one of six available out-
puts or three of these outputs can be assigned with up to six
events. In other words, up to six events can be placed on one
physical output with "OR" operation. Either BDA/BDA Plus or
Switch ES Power is used for configuring.
A relay variant is also available here the same as for the output
modules with rotary coding switch. Only one module of this type
is possible per 3WL circuit breaker.
ZSI modules (short-time grading control)
The use of ZSI modules is recommended when Siemens circuit
breakers are arranged in several staggered levels but full grad-
ing with the smallest possible delay is to be assured neverthe-
less.
The circuit breakers are interconnected by these modules. In
case of a short-circuit, each affected circuit breaker asks the cir-
cuit breakers directly downstream whether the short-circuit has
also occurred in the next, lower level. The short-circuit is exactly
localized as the result, and only the next upstream circuit
Digital output modules, configurable breaker in the energy flow direction is switched off.
Analog output modules
The analog output module can be used to output the following
measured values to analog indicators in the control cabinet
door:
• IL1, IL2, IL3, IN or
• UL12, UL23, UL31, UL1N or
• PL1, PL2, PL3, Stot or
• p.f. 1, p.f. 2, p.f. 3, ΔI % or
• favg, ULLavg, Ptot, p.f.avg
Four 4-20-mA/0-10-V interfaces are available for this. The mea-
sured values to be output are selected with a rotary coding
switch. By using the analog output module it is possible to do ZSI modules (short-time grading control)
without additional converters and their conventional installa-
tion/wiring in the main current path. Up to two modules of this
type can be connected to one 3WL circuit breaker.
