zone selective interlocking

( option Z )
Option Z provides selectivity and reduces
the duration of fault compared to traditional
time-delayed selectivity . By interconnecting
several trip units, it locates the ground fault
or short-circuit and allows the upstream
circuit breaker to trip at the minimum time
regardless of the time delay setting of this
breaker.

Fault 1
Circuit breaker A will clear the fault within
the minimum time delay regardless of its
time delay setting.

Fault 2
Circuit breaker B will inform the upstream
circuit breaker A that it is clearing the fault
and will prevent it from tripping instanta-
neously
As a safety feature , the breaker A will trip at
the end of its time delay setting If the fault is
not cleared during this time.
Note :
circuit breaker terminals are delivered with
"in" terminals jumpered Remove the jumber

trip units

Every trip unit is equipped with a test

receptacle that can be used with a test kit.
This particular design allows a safe and
simple testing.
Tests performed by test kits are only
functional tests designed to electrically test
the operating integrity of the trip unit, the flux
shifter and the mechanical operation of the
breaker . Tests are not designed to calibrate
the breaker .
Calibration can best be done at the factory.

rotary operating handle

Two versions are available :

Directly mounted
This handle is directly mounted on the circuit
breaker It accomodates as standard up to
three padlocks to ock the handle in the OFF
position However , a knockout tab can be
removed to allow the locking of the handle in
the ON position. Due to the trip free
mechanism, padlocking in such a position
will not prevent the circuit breake' from
tripping under overcurrent conditions.
The padlocked handle will continue to
indicate ON.
Padlock shackle diameter 1 /4 to 5/ 16

Note :
A mechanical interlock (cat no 44946) links
two rotary handles and constitues a manual
source changeover This device is only
available for direct rotary handies.
Simultaneous closing of the two breakers is
prevented but simultaeous opening is
possible. The breakers are norma ly f xed on
a panel or on rails.
catalog number 46933

Door -mounted type

The handle s removable and can be fitted
on a door - mounted mechanism . A 16 long
shaft extension is supplied ana can be cut to
a suitable length. A cutting and drilling jig is
provided
The mechanism has the same features as
the directly mounted type and provides door
interlocking preventing the door from being
opened when the breaker is closed .
The handle mechanism can be used in
NEMA 3 R and 12 enclosure applications

Note :
Door interlock can be disabled or defeated
by turning the defeating screw located on
the front face

Padlocking is possible only if the coupling of

recommended inspection
intervals
Merlin Germ circuit breakers are designed to
be maintenance - free. However , all
equipment with moving parts requires
periodic inspection to ensure optimum
performance and reliability . We recommend
that the circuit breakers be routinely
inspected six months after installation ,
followed by annual inspection , Intervals can
vary depending on your particular
experience
inspection of terminals
connections to circuit breaker terminals
could be inspected II there is discoloration
due lo overheating , the joint should be
disassembled and the surface cleaned
before remstallation It is essential that
electrical connections be made carefully in
order to prevent overheating.
check for terminal tightness
cleaning
Remove tne dust and oirt that have
accumulated on the circuit breaker surface
and terminals.

Even over long periods circuit breakers are
not often required to operate or overload or
