Power Supply Module

Optimized use of Power Supply (PS) Module:

All versions of Omega Air Circuit Breakers with MATRIX releases are self- powered. Display (O-LED
type) is a standard feature in MATRIX Protection & Control (P&C) Units (MTX-1.5G Onwards) and it needs
10% of I-frame value to Power-Up through CTs.
If an auxiliary power source of 24Vdc (thru PS Module or any controlled supply source) is available,
display will get Power-Up at NO-load/OFF condition also in these units (MTX-2.5 onwards).

A. Function of Auxiliary Power supply in MATRIX P&CU:

1. It shall be possible to alter protection settings while ACB is in OFF condition through navigation keys.

2. If it is desired to see details of Fault/Event History after the ACB has tripped on Fault. However last trip
record will be available on display without auxiliary power through Query button in P&C Unit.

3. To communicate with P&C Unit while ACB is in OFF condition.

4. For Powering-Up Modules like ZSI, UN-CO, etc.

5. Necessary to build communication between P&C Unit and external modules like REL, TCS, DIO, AO, TM,
EF & REF

Note:
I. For point no.1, 2, 3 & 4 it is not necessary to use PS Module available with L&T only. Any continuous
source of controlled 24V DC can serve the purpose. (Applicable for versions–
MTX2.5/2.5G/3.5/3.5EC/3.5H/4.5)

II. For point no. 5, PS Module available with L&T is must to hardware each & all external module to get
desired features (Applicable in MTX3.5/3.5EC/3.5H/4.5). In this case each MATRIX release needs a PS
Module.

III. Before providing auxiliary power supply to MATRIX P&CU it is necessary to know the VA burden of
MATRIX P&C Unit & Modules for the calculation of total VA demand.

E. Functionality of Power Supply Module:

Power Supply Module have 3 sets of auxiliary power output. Set - 2 & 3’s combined VA
burden is 15.5VA & Set -1 with an additional VA burden of 4.8VA. So, total output power
available from PS Module is 20.3VA.
Note:-
Power output set -2 or 3, has to be loaded first, while connecting P&C Unit &
External Modules with Power Supply Module.
Recommended wire for connection of MATRIX release with PS
Module through AS+/AS- SIC port in ACB is 24AWG ( 7/0.2).

F. EXAMPLE

Let us consider a Panel Board having 5 nos. Omega ACBs of different MATRIX P&C Units
& auxiliary power has to be supplied through PS Module as there is no auxiliary power (24Vdc)
source available–
1. Incomer ACB is with MTX3.5EC + ZSI - 1 no.
2. Outgoing ACBs are with MTX3.5 + Modbus COM + ZSI – 3 nos.

Solution: Total VA requirement of all P&CU & Modules are as follows:

Count
P&CU & Modules Total VA burden
(Nos.)
MTX3.5EC 1 3
MTX3.5+ Modbus COM 3 9
ZSI module 4 4
TOTAL VA 16

Max VA available through PS module:

O/P set 1: 4.8 VA
O/P set 2: 15.6 VA

Connection:
Incomer ACB Outgoing ACBs
Device VA burden Device VA burden
MTX3.5EC : 1 No 3 VA MTX3.5 + COM : 3 Nos 9 VA
ZSI : 1 No 1 VA ZSI : 3 Nos 3 VA
Total 4 VA Total 12 VA
Connect to PS module O/P 1 Connect to PS module O/P 2

So, using only a single PS Module, the above set up can be powered ON.

However, above PS module quantity selection can vary depending on the location/distance of the
modules in the panel as well as the type of module used (refer Point A Note I, II, III)
