Technical Information
Rated currents of 3-phase motors
The maximum size is governed by the requirements of the switchgear or overload relay.
The rated motor currents are normally ventilated and internally enclosed fan-cooled
three-phase motors at 1500rpm. Set overload relay in the phase lead to 0.58 x rated motor current. Rated fuse currents for
S/D starting apply to 3-phase motors with slip-ring rotors.
D.O.L. starting: M
aximum starting current 6 x rated motor current,
For higher rated currents, starting currents and/or longer starting times, larger fuses will

be required. Table is valid for ‘slow’ and/or ‘gL’ fuses (DIN VDE 0636) for NH fuses with aM
S/D starting: aximum starting current 2 x rated motor current,

 The test data is to be derived from the test values for AC-3 or AC-4 according to Table VIIb, EN 60947-1.
 AC-3 category may be used for occasional inching (jogging) or plugging for limited time periods such as machine set-up. During such limited time periods, the number of such operations should not exceed five per minute or ten in
any ten minute period.
 A hermetic refrigerant compressor motor is a combination consisting of a compressor and a motor, both of which are enclosed in the same housing, with no external shaft seals and with the motor operating in the refrigerant.

 T he value “6.P” results from an empirical relationship which is found to represent most D.C. magnetic loads to an upper limit of P = 50 W, where 6.P = 300 ms. Loads having power consumption greater than 50 W are assumed
to consist of smaller loads in parallel. Therefore, 300ms is to be an upper limit, irrespective of the power consumption value.
 If the switching device has a making and/or breaking capacity, the figures for the current and the power factor (time constants) must be stated by the manufacturer.
 A: frequent operation, B: occassional operation.

The decisive factors are the type, connection and current consumption of lamps during switch-on and in permanent operation. Only 90 % of the continuous current of switching devices should be used in
view of higher current consumption as a result of increases of voltage. The maximum number of lamps per phase that can be operated by a switching device is dependent on the nominal current and making
current of lamps on the one hand, and on the continuous current and making capacity of the switching devices on the other. Thus, e.g. in lead-lag circuits, the continuous current of contactors can be used,
while this is not possible in fluorescent tubes with separate compensation.

The incandescent lamp filament has a very low ohmic resistance when it is cold. Therefore, when switching on, there is a high peak current (up to 20 x In). When switching off, only the nominal current is
switched off.

Fluorescent tubes, mercury arc lamps

High and low pressure discharge lamps with mercury vapour, with or without fluorescent-coated glass body are perfectly identical in their electrical behaviour. In order to limit the
operational current and pre-conduction current, and to achieve the initial peak voltage, reactance coils are used as ballast. Capacitors are used for compensation of the resulting reactive
current, which are either connected in series with the coil (lead-lag circuit) or parallel to the mains (separate compensation, very rarely used now). The high making current in case of
separate compensation (max. 30 x nominal current of the capacitor) which goes down quickly is usually attenuated considerably by the feed line.

Metal halide lamps

Transformers for low-voltage halogen lamps
Metal halide lamps are a version of high-pressure mercury arc lamps with higher luminous efficiency and fidelity of colour (metalloids [halogens] added to the mercury fill up the
HG-spectrum with its many gaps). Ballast and ignition devices are necessary. Starting time 3 ... 5 minutes at 1.4 – 2 x I. After switching on, it is not possible to light the lamp again
immediately (lamp extinguishes after a power cut-off of only 1/2 period). Therefore, in many cases in important facilities ionisation of part of the lamps is maintained by switching over to
415 V, 500 Hz (e.g. to an emergency power supply). In this case, the lamp lights immediately after the mains voltage is on again. Otherwise, this would take several minutes. When using
suitable ignition devices, the lamp can be lit again immediately.
I / Ilamp = number of connectable lamps per current path
Metal halide lamps (HQI) without compensation I = IeAC1 x 0,5
Metal halide lamps (HQI) with compensation I = Ipeak / 100 (take into account compensation capacitor)

For 200 W, 1200 mm high-pressure lamps and low-pressure lamps, reactance coils are used as ballast. For smaller lamps,
stray field transformers can be used as ballast. Take into account, the long starting period.

7. In order to ensure selectivity (discrimination) in the overload range, the curves
represented for the circuit-breaker under one another, and the curves for the
fuses may not cross or touch each other at any point. Consider the tolerances of
the curves which are ± 20 % in the overload range. The overload selectivity
(discrimination) of the selected devices has been reached at the meeting and
crossover points.

Selectivity, line protection, backup protection
Line protection, backup protection

Protection of PVC insulated cables against thermal overload with short-circuits.
In accordance to VDE 0100 part 430 the cables and conductors must be protected against overload and short-circuit. In circuit-breakers NZM, the overload protection is implemented via the
adjustable, current dependant time-delayed overload releases. Short-circuit protection is provided by adjustable instantaneous releases, which open the main contacts in less than 25 ms.
The short-circuit total opening time restricts the temperature rise of the cable to a minimum. The tables indicate the minimum conductor cross-section reliably protected by circuit-breakers
during a shortcircuit. (Operating voltage Un = 415 V).

 Values for PKNM and PKSM determined by experimentation – testing will be completed in future.
Where the prospective fault current at the point of installation of circuit-breakers is very high, it is conventional to use NZMN(H) current-limiting circuitbreakers. An attractively priced
alternative is to fit a NZMN(H) current-limiting circuit-breaker at the point in the network upstream of NZMB(N)(H) standard circuitbreakers, if the fault level is too high for NZMB(N)
switches. The table indicates which current-limiting circuitbreakers NZMN(H) in combination with NZM(B)(N) are to be used to provide protection at the network locations with high short-
circuit capacities. The selectivity limit is determined by the response current of the non-delayed short-circuit release in the upstream incoming circuit-breaker. In many applications between
two devices, this results in total or enhanced selectivity due to the NZM’s innovative double break contact system. Shown in the above table with the first figure detailing the increased
back up protection value, the second figure detailing the enhanced selectivity value. For other applications refer to the Selectivity tables in Moeller HPL.
