SIEMENS Motor Protection Circuit Breakers 3VU13 & 3VU16 Introduction: Robust and compact circuit breakers type 3VU, for protection of motors and other loads, designed and developed by ‘Siemens Germany for the world market are now available in India 3VU13/3VU16 are suitable for use in useless motor feeders upto 1 1KWI22KW and for other loads upto 25Amps/63Amps. respectively. Application In machine tools, textile machinery, automobile, food and many ather process industries robust and compact devices are required for disconnection and protection of plant and individual loads. Although such loads are of smaller ratings, the protection devices stil have to have adequate short circuit breaking capacity. Further the devices should be compact, for simple, efficient and suitable for maintenance free installation Siemens 3VU circuit breakers have proved themselves in such applications. Motor Protection Circuit breakers type 3VU13 & 3VUI6 offer overioad, short circuit and single phase protection for 3 phase motors upto 11kW and 22 kW respectively. The breaker has a toggle switch for ease of operation and can be offered with auxiliary contacts, trip indicating contacts, U/V or Shunt release. For ratings upto 6A in 3VU13 and upto 25A in 3VU16, the breakers have high S/C capacity of 100kA.3VU16. is also available with only S/C release for use with an external overload relay as in case of motor starters, Distribution Feeder Protection Standard 3VU13 and 3VU16 with adjustable O/L: and fixed SIC release can be offered for disconnecting and protecting the distribution feeders, upto 25A and 63A respectively. A large number of overlapping ranges are available for offering closer protection to various loads. Transformer protection For protection of transformers on primary side having rated currents upto 208, 3VU13 breakers having setting ranges of 0.16 to 20 are offered. The SIC release of such breakers do not have the usual 12 times Ir setting, but the S/C release is set at 19 times the rated current. The release is of instantaneous type. Thus, these breakers safely allow the ‘Switching On’ in-rush current ppeaks upto 30 times the rated current.Fuse Monitor: 3VU1300-MS00 is offered for Fuse Monitor application. The three poles of this circuit breaker can be connected in parallel to the fuses. In the event of one fuse blowing the breaker gets actuated through its release & offers tripping signal through its auxiliary contacts, to the motor contvol device for switching off the motor (reer connection diagram on Page 7) Thus, the motors aro nat subjectod to single phasing and costly motor bum outs are prevented. The fuse monitor can be used for AC voltages of 24 to 690V, SO/60Hz and DC voltages from 24 to 250V. For DC voltages greater than 250V & upto 600 V three current paths can be connected in series. Circuits Breakers for DC System The circuit breaker type 3VUI3 & 3VUI6 can be used in DC circuits also upto 450V, DC. Details upon enquiry. Description Safety First Concept Fast Reaction The circuit breakers operate on the Current Limiting Principle. In case of a short circuit, the contacts are opened electro-dynamically by the short circuit current. The instantaneous overcurrent release, through the switching mechanism, {rips all the three poles of the breaker. A large arc voltage is quickly built up in the arc chamber limiting the short circuit current. Trip Free Mechanism The breakers have a trip-froo mechanism and tripping cannot be prevented by the toggle switch position, Other features: The breaker operates on Current Limiting Principle. The breaker has a trip free mechanism, Space saving compact modular design. Finger touch proof and open terminals with SIGUT connection technique. Integrated auxiliary contacts save space and time, Additional aux, contacts available as an add-on block. Phase failure protection. Ambient temperature compensation upto 5! Approved by all major international standards for ‘worldwide installation. Material resistant to temperature extremes. Strict safety and quality standards ensure reliable operation in all possible applications. Can be used as a main and EMERGENCY STOP switch Positive ON/OFF indication through toggle switch, High rated insulation voltage. Similar design concept of both the breakers, allows easy handling, Identical accessories reduce: stock levels. Technical data of the circuit breaker can be read from the front Box terminals ensure connections even with different conductor cross-section. Current-Limiter ‘The circuit broakers 3VU13 for motor protection are short circuit proof for rated continuous currents upto 6 A at rated voltages AC 380/ 418V, i.e. no back-up fuses are required, Breakers with a rated continuous current of 8A & 10 Aal the samo voltage, have a rated short circult breaking capacity or 10kA, breakers with 16, 20 and 25 A have 6 kA. Ifthe short circuit current at the: point of installation is greater than the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker then backup fuses are normally required, For the 3VU13, therefore, a special limiter (current limiter) has been developed for connecting in series with the breaker, this increases the switching capacity of the combination to 50 kA at AC 380/ a1BV. Current-Limiter Operation When a short circuit occurs the limiter trips and breaks the current paths, as well as the series connected circuit breaker. The short circuit causes the limiter ontacts 10 open, due to the current separation forces, as well as by the electro-magnetic high. speed trip mechanism, and remain open. With this method welding of the current-limiter contacts via a selt- closing spring is prevented. After clearing the fault which casued the shor circuit, the limiter must be re-set by hand before the cicuit breaker can be switched ‘ON’ again. This prevents inadvertently switching onto a still present short circuit The development of our current- limiter provides triple protection: ‘© short circuit-proof up to 50 kA * Wold-free by means of contacts which remain open alter tripping # re-closing lock out after a shortcircuit has occured Cutrent Limiter can be connected as an incomer to individual 3VU13 (as shown in diagram below) or as a incomer to many 3VU feeders. In this case the total current through Limiter should not exceed 56 A. Isolating Module or The Module adapts on top of 3VU13 circuit breaker to enable positive visual disconnection from main three phase supply. The Isolating Module can be Padlocked in either connected or disconnected position. Accessories The following can be added to the left band side ‘* Shunt release for remote tripping or ‘¢ Undervoltage release to prevent farting of the motor when the supply retuins. or * Undervoltage release with 2 leading auxiliary contacts, which in the open position avoid accidental energization to the control circuit or ‘¢ Remote Switching Module with which the 3VU13 can be switched ON and OFF remotely. The Remote Switching Module has the same housing dimensions as the 3VU13 and is snapped on to a Rail on the left hand side of the breaker. To switch the Breaker ‘ON’ the module is energised via “ON push bution. To hold the solenoid, a NO auxiliary contact of the 8VU13 is required The following can be added to the right hand side: # Short circuit signalling contact (INO + 1NC) which singals a short circuit trip. Since it must be reset by hang, it also fulfills the function of a reclosing lockout and / or ¢ Auxiliary contacts 1NO + INC which can be added in addition {o the integrated auxiliary contacts in the circuit breaker, increasing the number of auxiliary to 2NO + 2NC ‘The auxiliary contacts, short circuit and signalling contacts are. compatible with electronic systems, Characteristic Curves The characteristic curves for overload and short circull release, and the current limiting feature of the 8VU breakers are depicted on pages 485 alongwith the technical dataTechnical Data - 3VU13 /3VU16 * Spectication”> IEC 047-4, = Type. avurs '* No of poles ‘© Max Rated Curent = Distribution Amps: =Moior Amps ‘© Permissible Ambient Temperature °C at Full Rated Current ‘Rated Voltage Ue acy '# Rated Frequency He ‘© Rated Insulation Voltage v ‘© Rated Impulse kw Witnstang Voltage «© Usiization Category 1€0947-1 (Circuit Breaker) 1€0947-4 (Motor starters) ‘© Rated Breaking Capacity © SIC Protection ‘* Rated Breaking Capacity DC t= 15s 1 Contact 2Contacts SContacts 140V 220 SV kA to150V to S00Y 10450 kA ‘© KW Rating With Max Current Rating 220/220 AW 240V kW 380/400 KW 415V kW ‘500¥ kW e60v kW e90v kW '* Wattloss Per Breaker «Protection Class With Open ‘Terminals & With Cable Connection ‘Protection Against Touch as per DIN VE ‘© Mechanical Life at 25A/above 254, ‘© Switching Frequency with Current Loaging « Single Phase Protection Sensivity # Temperature Compensation ‘© Aualary Switch oP Ine ~ Rated Voltage A0,V ~ Rated Current Amps = Uslization Category ~ Rated Vottage De, v ~ Rated Current Amps ~ Utiization ** NEMA Rating upon enquiry tec 047-2, a 25 25 690 50/80 750 6 A acs Refer Table | Refer Tabie | 10 10 Dist 7 18 75 20 125 31 13 34 6 4“ 22 55 2 sv A WoA CSuneicne ed area) 6 Cyan ane spec ees PoonP2Lo Available 100000 ey Avaliable ‘Avaliable 230 400 318 AG 15 2 60 23 07 De-13 eo 9e7-41 avuie 20%0 Upon Ena, Upon Era 3 6 50 455 Motor +99000/80000 ey 200 03, " 15 22 22 30 ar Characteristics ts a [388 ese Ties set current “in cen carectertin 0 VU ve ow t| db a Tene cent rasan of SVUIETechnical Data-3VU13/3VU16 r j cae _ avis avis + Under Voltage Release ~ Consumption During Pek-up, VAN 1046 ~ Consumption During Running, VAN am |= Dropout 07 10025 umes Ue |= Pokup 8510 110% of Ue | = Max Operating Tine ms 20 ] | | « Shunt Release F | | - consumption van 108 “| || - Max Coninuous Rating See 5 ] Prlup 07 1 1.1 times Ue — || | |» Power Connections Incoming rom top or botom possie) |= Metnos sigur ® =| || = single utile Core Cable mm? 2x16) 1x15 102x16 | or 1254110 | Finely Swanded wih in mm? 2x (1104) 1x15 %.2x:10 || ype tugs or x16+1 x10 1 Tghening Torque Nm 11s 2503 ~ Cont Terminals methos sicut = Single Mule Core Cable mm? 1x05t2x25 ® + Fely andes with Pin mm? 1x05t2x25 2 + 1 type Lugs 7 | = Tightening Torque Nm 113 PPS ewe eta | |= SIC Protection for Auniary Cit ser exe eet te (tele U9 Fuses ‘Amos 0 Breaker ‘Amps 8 ct chun SVU OMCD + Curront Limiter for 3VU13 Rated eurent in 6 Amps Fated Votlage Ue 500 V 50/60 2 | Power Connection mm 2x(1108) | = Power Connection with special feed In | terminals Type SVU9T@5:B601men? 25, | | « Remote Controlled Operating Mechanism for 3VU13, Rated Operational contol | votage, VAC Us 2207040 1 pak uring Pick Up wo 2% In Continuous Operation = WS + Mounting on DIN Rain any positon Table 1 3VU13 / 3VU16 breaking capacity at 415V Favors CunentRaingin 06:16 «24 S25 BD | bt ac 86 810 B16 825 | | notes sic Breaking Capaciy at 415 v | tou KA 100 100 100 100 100 10(50) (50) (50) ies KA 100 100 100 100 100 10/60) 6(60) 6/50) | | Max Back up fuse {aa} Diazed Rott tt a 8 | | ne er er ) | -Fuse not required | | | cy vats in bracket are with Curent Limiter | | For avUte breakers of tings 8A & above in place of uses, the Current Limiter can eee [reso | || be used intease the SIC breaking capecty POPE ae || avai Stet dt ceoet eitena) | oimetrampn A 18 4 8 19 16 5 SPR £24 | erence | Rated SIC Breaking Capacity at 415 V: | | tou KA 100 100 100 100 100 100 35 | tos KA 100 190 100 100 100 50 17 Max Back up fuse (gla6) Diazed fe oo Go ee NH rr.) * Fuse not requiredSelection Table for 3VU13 and 3VU16 MPCBs. 3VU13 Circult- breakers with tno+ inc auxiliary contacts for ‘3VUI6 Circuit-breakers with tno + inc auxiliary contacts for ‘motor and plant protection ‘motor and plant protection Fated | Overioad Prorcroa] Type Piesxwended] [Ratad | Overoad [Senciaul] Typo [Recorded Current} release | release assvwotor | |Current] release | release “iV Motor in| range | setting ae in| range | ‘set Rains R nd a woo | | Ie nF ting wt?
