2 Interrupting Rating NEC Article 100 Definition Highest current an OVERCURRENT DEVICE (fuse or circuit breaker) is rated to safely interrupt. Self protection rating only NEC Interrupting Rating. Requires the overcurrent device to have an interrupting rating not less than the maximum available fault current. The maximum fault current must be calculated and varies based on system size/location. Similar Requirements in OSHA (b)(4) 3 Interrupting Rating NEC 110.9: Device interrupting rating MUST be equal to or greater than the maximum available fault current. Chapter 1 Video Clips - Interrupting Rating 4 2

3 Interrupting Rating - Proper Application 1 st Determine available short-circuit current (I sca ) at lineside terminals of each OCPD. MSB I sca 1 2 nd Apply OCPDs with adequate Interrupting Rating. I sca 2 I sca 3 I sca 4 I sca 5 I sca 6 M M 5 Interrupting Rating - Proper Application Must select circuit breaker with interrupting rating adequate for point of application varies by voltage and circuit breaker type. 6 3

4 I.R. - Proper Application High Interrupting rating of current-limiting fuses at full voltage reduces concerns about proper interrupting rating at point of application 7 Series Rated Systems A combination of: - Circuit breakers / circuit breakers OR - Fuses / circuit breakers that can be applied at available fault levels above the interrupting rating of the load side circuit breaker, but not above that of the main or line side device. Downstream device will ALWAYS be a circuit breaker 8 4

5 Series Rated Systems: CB-CB 200A Circuit Breaker 65,000 A.I.R. Series Rated Combination 65,000 A.I.R. 20A Circuit Breaker 10,000 A.I.R. I SC =65,000 A I SC =65,000 A 9 Series Rated Systems: Fuse-CB LPJ 400 SP 300,000 A.I.R. Series Rated Combination 200,000 A.I.R. 20A Circuit Breaker 10,000 A.I.R. I SC =300,000 A I SC =200,000 A 10 5

6 Series Rated Systems NEC (A) Selected Under Engineering Supervision in Existing Installations The series rated combination devices must be selected by licensed, professional engineer. Requires Documentation and Stamp. Series combination rating and upstream device must be field marked on end use equipment. Downstream circuit breaker must remain passive. NEC (B) Tested Combinations The combination of line side and load side devices must be tested and marked on the end-use equipment (panelboards & switchboards). 11 Series Rated Systems Additional Limitations and Requirements Labeling Requirements Manufacturer NEC (B) Field Marking NEC (B)&(C) Motor Contribution Limitations NEC (C) Motor FLA cannot exceed 1% of IR of protected CB. Lack of Selective Coordination 12 6

7 Current Limitation A current limiting fuse will clear a fault within one half of a cycle. Thermal energy is proportionate to the square of RMS current multiplied by the time (Irms 2 t) Mechanical stresses are proportionate to the square of peak current multiplied by the time (Ip 2 t) 13 Current Limitation Conductor protection for fault of 45kA/480V (26kA with conductor) with non-current-limiting device (1 cycle) vs. current-limiting device (>1/2 cycle) 14 7

8 Short-Circuit Current Ratings NEC Article 100 Definition The highest current EQUIPMENT can withstand without extensive damage (fire or shock hazard). Also known as component protection May be based on a specific type of overcurrent device NEC Circuit Impedance, Short-Circuit Current Ratings, and Other Characteristics. Requires the equipment to have a short circuit current rating not less than the maximum available fault current. The maximum fault current must be calculated and varies based on system size/location. Similar Requirements in OSHA (b)(5) 15 Motor Starter - SCCR High Fault Test: starter protected by an instantaneous trip circuit breaker (MCP) that only provides Type 1 protection 480V - 22,000A High Fault Test: starter protected by Low-Peak fuses that provides Type 2 (No Damage) protection 480V - 22,000A Fault Fault 16 8

9 SCCR Marking Requirements Marked on motor controllers 440.4(B) Marked on HVAC equipment (3) Marked on industrial control panels Fault current cannot exceed marked SCCR 670.3(A)(4) Marked on industrial machinery control panel Fault current cannot exceed marked SCCR UL 508A, Supplement SB is an approved method to determine SCCR for industrial control panels and industrial machinery control panels 17 Fault Current Marking Requirement Available Fault Current. (A) Service equipment must be marked with the maximum available fault current and date of calculation (B) If fault current increases due to system modification, the marking must be updated. 18 9

10 How to Comply? All equipment must comply with: NEC (IR) & (SCCR) Isc = 60,142 A Engineer Calculate Contractor Label Service Equipment Max Avail. Fault Current = 58,524 A Date Determined/Calculated: 9/2010 Required per NEC Isc = 38,525 A Isc = 42,153 A Isc = 27,532 A Isc = 18,752 A HVAC SCCR = 40kA Industrial Machinery Panel Industrial Control Panel SCCR = 65kA SCCR = 30kA Motor Controller SCCR = 25kA 19 IR/SCCR Inspection Check-List 20 10

11 Fault Current Calculations To determine the fault current: Draw the one-line diagram Identify sources of short-circuit current (utility, generation, motors) Include system component information (tranformers, conductors, busway, overcurrent devices are not considered) Use calculation method (ohmic, per unit, point-topoint, software) Use typical fault current values as a reference only. 21 Typical Short-Circuit Current Values Short-Circuit Current at service entrance equipment varies by type/size of system: Small residential systems (100A to 200A) 10,000A to 15,000A or less Small commercial building systems (400A to 800A) 20,000A to 30,000A Larger commercial and manufacturing building systems (2,000A to 3,000A) - 50,000A to 65,000A Higher short-circuit currents are possible where low impedance (energy-efficient) transformers are used (or where larger transformers (kva) feed multiple services. Commercial buildings directly connected to utility grid system 200,000A or greater 22 11

12 Short-Circuit Current Factors Typically highest at service point Decreases in downstream equipment (due to impedance of transformers and conductors) 23 Calculation Example 480V/3000A Service supplied from 2500 kva Transformer Find Isc at Transformer Secondary & Service Equipment 480V, 3000A Service Equipment Service Transformer Isc = 58,524A 2500 kva 13.2kV 480V 5% Impedance Isc = 60,142 A Cu kcmil/phase 25 Feet in PVC 24 12

24 How to Determine SCCR? Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) Can be established by testing during the listing and labeling process OR Can be determined using an approved (calculation) method UL 508A Supplement SB is an approved method (industrial control panels and industrial machinery control panel) AHJ Approved Method NRTL field evaluation can also be used. 47 Industrial Control Panel SCCR Industrial Control Panel. An assembly of two or more components consisting of one of the following: 1)power circuit components only, such as motor controllers, overload relays, fused disconnect switches, and circuit breakers; 2)control circuit components only, such as push buttons, pilot lights, selector switches, timers, switches, and control relays; 3)a combination of power and control circuit components. These components, with associated wiring and terminals, are mounted on, or contained within, an enclosure or mounted on a subpanel. The industrial control panel does not include the controlled equipment

25 UL 508A Supplement SB What Needs to be Analyzed per UL 508A, Supplement SB? All power circuit components (SB 4.1) Feeder and branch circuit components that supply power to loads (motors, lighting, heating and appliances) Includes disconnect switches, fuses, circuit breakers, load controllers, overload relays, power distribution/terminal blocks, bus bars, etc. Control circuit components are not required to be analyzed Pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches, timers, control relays, etc. 49 Power vs. Control Circuits Control circuit components don t have to be analyzed * Power Transformer *Control Circuit, but affects SCCR Control Transformer 50 25

26 UL 508A Supplement SB How to Determine Component SCCR (SB4.2.2)? The SCCR marked on the component or on instructions. The SCCR determined by the voltage rating of the component and the assumed short circuit current from Table SB4.1. or The SCCR for a load controller, motor overload relay, or combination motor controller that has been investigated in accordance with the performance requirements, including short circuit test requirements for standard fault currents or high fault currents specified in the Standard for Industrial Control Equipment, UL 508, and described in the manufacturer s procedure. 51 UL 508A Supplement SB What are the Rules (Sweep 1)? Lowest component SCCR limits assembly SCCR unless: Combination ratings can be used to increase branch circuit component ratings (SB 4.2.2) Component with marked/specified OCPD Check with component manufacturer for combination ratings 52 26

27 Combination Ratings - Branch Nameplate Voltage: 480 SCCR: 100kA Component SCCR OCPD I.R. Use combination ratings with specified/marked OCPD to fix low rated branch components Combination ratings of overcurrent protective devices and components can be used 53 Combination Ratings - Contactor 54 27

28 Combination Ratings - MMP OL Protection Only Fuse or Circuit Breaker Required for SC Protection Suitable for Group Installations Straight Ratings (480V) 55 Combination Ratings Type E/F Combination Motor Controller SC & OL Protection Line Side Adapters Required Slash Ratings (480/277V) 56 28

29 Combination Ratings - ASD 200kA with Class CC/J/T Fuse Suitable for Group Installations 65kA with Type E CMC (480/277V) 57 Combination Ratings - Feeder Nameplate Voltage: 480 SCCR: 100kA Component SCCR OCPD I.R. Use UL Listed power distribution block with high SCCR when used with specified fuses or circuit breakers and required load side conductors Must have feeder circuit spacing (Listed PDB) if in feeder circuit Combination ratings of PDBs is cost effective fix 58 29

30 Combination Ratings - PDBs PDBFS220 (4 14 Load Side Conductors) 100kA with 175A Class J fuse or less UL 508A Supplement SB What are the Rules (Sweep 1)? Lowest component SCCR limits assembly SCCR unless: Feeder components are used that limit the shortcircuit current reducing the need for higher branch circuit component SCCR (SB 4.3) Current limiting overcurrent protective devices Transformers rated 10kVA or less 60 30

31 Feeder vs. Branch Circuits Feeder Circuit Branch Circuit Branch Circuit 61 Use of CL Devices - OCPD CL Device must be in the feeder circuit For CL Fuses or Circuit Breakers Use PEAK Let-through, Not RMS Let-Through (more conservative) Fuses - cannot use manufacturer specific fuse data only tables based on performance requirements from UL 248 (more conservative - apply to all manufacturers) Circuit Breakers - must be Listed and marked currentlimiting and use published let-thru curves (most circuit breakers are not CL) Can only raise downstream BRANCH circuit components (not overcurrent protective devices fuses/circuit breaker IR or Combination motor controllers SCCR) 62 31

32 Fuse LT UL vs Manufacturer LPJ-100SP UL Limits 50kA = 12kA 100kA = 14kA 200kA = 20kA Manufacturer Let Through Curves Ip LT: 50kA = 9kA 100kA = 12kA 200kA = 14kA Irms LT: 50kA = 4kA 100kA = 5kA 200kA = 6kA 63 Use of CL Devices - OCPD Nameplate Voltage: 480 SCCR: 14kA Component SCCR OCPD I.R. Current limiting feeder OCPD can be used to increase branch component SCCR. F B Use of CL OCPD can only fix components 64 32

33 Use of CL Devices - Transformers CL Device must be in the feeder circuit For Transformers If 10kVA with secondary devices (components and overcurrent devices) of 5kA or higher, apply the IR of the primary overcurrent protective device If 5kVA (120V Secondary) with secondary devices (Components and overcurrent devices) of 2kA or higher, apply the IR of the primary overcurrent protective device 65 Use of CL Devices - Transformers Voltage: Nameplate 480 Component SCCR OCPD I.R. SCCR: 200kA 10 kva Transformers can be used to limit the short-circuit current available If 10kVA & sec comp = 5kA+ If 5kVA/120V & sec comp = 2kA+ Then assign entire circuit I.R. of primary overcurrent device Use of Small Transformers (10kVA or less) can increase secondary component/ocpd ratings 66 33

34 UL 508A Supplement SB What are the Rules (Sweep 2)? Lowest overcurrent protective device interrupting rating (or SCCR for some devices) always limits assembly SCCR All Feeder and branch circuit overcurrent devices Tested series combination ratings or series ratings (fuse-circuit breaker or circuit breaker-circuit breaker) are NOT allowed. Branch circuit overcurrent devices tapped from the feeder circuit supplying a control circuit. Supplemental protective devices protecting the control circuit transformer in a motor branch circuit. 67 Overcurrent Protection Devices Branch Circuit Protective Devices Fuses Circuit Breakers Application Limited Devices Supplemental Protectors/Fuses Not suitable for branch circuit protection (protecting a load) Can only be used in control circuits 68 34

35 Why High SCCR? NEC & Equipment standards only require the SCCR to be marked NEC requires the marked value to be adequate for the maximum available fault current Although not required, high SCCR is often preferred Flexibility of application Multiple installations Fault current unknown Insufficient SCCR can delay installation 69 Fix It - Solutions High I.R. Protective Devices Class R Class J Class J Drive Fuse Class T Class CC CubeFuse High Speed High IR/CL CBs 70 35
