MODbreak Moulded Case Circuit Breakers

Faster tripping
The unique speed contact system accelerates the opening of contacts during
short circuit. This ensures faster tripping an ultimate current limiting feature.
The result-very low let-through, cut-off current and fault clearing time

Mechanical Anti-reclosing
This unique feature ensures that under short circuit conditions, the contacts open
and latch even before the release gives a trip command to the mechanism.
This avoids contact re-closing and bounce

Low Watts loss


The entire current carrying path is optimally designed to achieve very low watt loss.
Silver contacts offer low contact resistance, which help to achieve a low heat connection.

Positive Isolation
The MCCB toggle indicates the true position of the main
switching contacts

Double Insulation
Internal accessories are housed in insulated casings to ensure
a first level of insulation. When the front cover is opened for
the fixing of internal accessories, the MCCB is totally insulated
ensuring double insulation.

Standards Compliance
MODbreak complies with AS 60947-2, AS/NZS 3947-6, IEC
60947, and the European CE Mark.

Forward or Reverse connection


MODbreak MCCBs can be forward or reverse connected to allow
reversal of line and load connections. This is especially important
for MB and MBC chassis where MODbreak MCCBs are reverse
connected on the chassis as standard.

Mounting angle
Vertical and 90⁰ to the left or right

2. An MB chassis metal pan width is 370mm. With MCCBs mounted on both sides the total width is 380mm. With flush terminal covers fitted to the MCCB load
side, the total width is 405mm.
3. Main busbar phase connections extend 53.5mm beyond the dimensions shown above, at the top and bottom of the chassis.
4. When using electronic MCCBs, it is recommended that the MCCBs be facing each other on the chassis. Placing electronic and thermal magnetic MCCBs
opposite one another can result in flush terminal covers not fitting to the tee off connection side, and MCCB M4 thread mounting screw misalignment.

MBC MCCB High Current Chassis

Front Connect MCCB mounting on MBC chassis

MCCBs are mounted to the tee offs on an MBC chassis with the MCCB terminals connected to the connection bar coming from the
tee off which fits directly into the MCCB main terminals on the FRONT of the MCCB. MCCBs are also to be reverse connected,
which means the bottom of MCCB where the Over Current Relay is located, is connected to the tee offs. This will allow venting
gasses to be directed away from the chassis in event of a fault.

Notes:
1) The DOL table is based on holding 125 % FLC continuously and 600 % FLC for 10 seconds.
2) The primary task of the above circuit breakers is to provide short circuit and cable protection. The motor starter would normally be supplied with an
overload relay that will detect lower level current overloads or phase loss.
3) 80, 100 and 125 amp refers to Din-T10H type.
4) MOD6 MCBs are C curve MCBs. Din-T MCBs are C or D curve types, and either can be used for motor starting.
5) Thermal magnetic MCCB current adjustment range 0.8 to 1.0 x In. Set magnetic trip to maximum or equivalent to 15 x motor FLC.
6) Electronic MCCB base current adjustment ranges 0.4 to 1.0 x In. Set Short Time setting to maximum or equivalent to 15 x Motor FLC.
7) Lower ampere rated MCCBs are possible for many applications. The above MCCB sizes generally provide additional ampere capacity.
8) MODbreak MCCBs have a maximum instantaneous trip setting of 10 x In. Consideration should be given to the use of high efficiency motors with a short
time current inrush of between 15 to 20 x In.
9) Refer NHP for tables for reduced voltage, and Type 2 coordination motor starting.

MODbreak Electronic MCCB DIP Switch Setting

Refer below for DIP switch positions and settings.

Long Time Delay (LTD) Overload Protection (It = x IN) Switching the DIP switches UP switches the LTD settings OFF

Thermal Memory
The thermal memory feature is enabled or disabled by switching the DIP switch above the symbol θ on the OCR facia.
Up = BYPASS (OFF) / Down = ON.

The thermal memory feature is similar to the effects of hot and cold starting on an overload relay or thermal magnetic MCCB.
Thermal memory can protect the system from thermal stresses generated by cumulative heating caused by cyclic overload
conditions, thereby allowing the MCCB & system to return to a safe operating temperature. This function also allows for an
optimisation of cables or busbar protection in the case of low amplitude repetitive faults. The “Advance tripping” of the MCCB also
increases overall life and eliminates installation downtime.

MODbreak Electronic MCCB DIP Switch setting

Refer below for DIP switch positions and the resulting setting

Inverse Overload Curve Type Selection


• Allows a degree of curve adjustment to allow for grading with upstream or downstream devices.
• Adjust the tripping characteristics of the MCCB for motor starting to take into account motor start up times.
• Refer MODbreak characteristic curves on previous pages for each setting characteristic.

Short Time Delay (STD) Short Circuit Setting (IS = x IN) Switching the DIP switches UP switches the STD settings OFF

Time Delay for Short Circuit Protection


Allows for the selection of a short delay just prior to the MCCB tripping if a short circuit occurs.

Overload Pick-Up Indication LED


Improves uptime and productivity, via a visual indicator LED which can be used to monitor an unbalanced load so that proactive
measures can be taken to avoid overload conditions.

Overload pick-up LED Indicator

% of IR Overload pick-up LED indication


30% Green LED
85% Fast blinking of LED
115% LED operates sequential ON/OFF operations

LED Indicator
• When the current flowing through the MCCB is less than 30% of the preset OCR current setting, the LED is OFF.
• When the current reaches ≥ 30% of IN, the green LED is ON.
• At 85% of Ir the OCR enters alarm mode and starts to blink OFF and ON.
• At 115% of Ir the OCR enters into pick up mode and is indicated by sequential ON OFF operations of the LED.
• Above the 115% level the OCR will trip the MCCB.

About MODbreak Electronic MCCB OCRs

Example of setting the LTD – Long Time Delay setting, which is used to reset the amp rating of the MCCB.

EXAMPLE
250A Trip Unit

The DIP switches allow LTD setting changes - refer examples below. The photo below shows the FACTORY DEFAULT settings.
The raised white indicator indicates the up or down position of the DIP switch (switch in photo is shown down)

EXAMPLE
250A Trip Unit

To calculate the current setting, simply add up the DIP switch multiples.
For example: when the DIP switches are switched DOWN the amp ratings are selected.
• 0.4 + 0.05 + 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.25 = 1, in other words, set at 100% of the trip unit rating = 250A.
• 0.4 + 0.05 + 0.2 = 0.65 x 250A = 162.5A
• 0.4 = 0.4 x 250A = 100A.
• If 0.4 and the other LT settings are switched to the upper position, the Long Time characteristic is switched
OFF. The MCCB is now short time and instantaneous only.
