TYPE-2 CO-ORDINATION

Changes in standards

 IS 13947-4-1 replaced IS 8544

 New Standard introduced
 Type 1 co-ordination (Type A)
 Type 2 co-ordination (Type C)
 What is co-ordination?

 Discrimination between primary and back up

protection
 Adequate short circuit protection
 Adequate short circuit protection

 Effects of short circuit fault

 High electro-dynamic force
(magnetic force  Ipeak 2 )
 High thermal stress leads to excessive
heat (I2t let-through )
 Adequacy of protection established through
extensive short circuit testing
 Adequate short circuit protection-
Requirement of IS

 Recommended combination needs to be

proven through short circuit tests at
 ‘r’ current
 ‘Iq’ current (50 kA)
 What is Type 1 co-ordination?

“The contactor or starter, after being subjected to

short circuit fault, may not be suitable for further
service without repair or replacement. However, it
shall cause no danger to persons or
installations”
 What is Type 2 co-ordination?

 The contactor or starter shall cause no

danger to operating persons or installation
 Shall be suitable for further use
 Risk of light contact welding (easily
separable e.g. by screwdriver)
 Overload relay characteristics should not
change

Safety, low down time and continued protection
