- Working Principle and Protection Mechanism
3.1 Core Working Principle
- 通常動作: When the circuit breaker is closed, the main contacts connect the circuit, current flows through the main circuit and the trip unit sampling circuit, and the ETU35WT monitors the three-phase current in real time.
- Fault Detection: 電流が設定値を超えた場合, the ETU35WT calculates the trip time according to the protection characteristic curve.
- Trip Action: When the trip condition is met, the ETU35WT sends a trip signal to drive the electromagnetic tripping mechanism to operate and quickly open the main contacts.
- Arc Extinguishing Process: The arc generated when the main contacts are opened is quickly extinguished by the arc extinguishing chamber, preventing arc reignition and phase-to-phase short circuit.
3.2 Detailed Explanation of Three-stage Protection Functions (ETU35WT LSI)
3.2.1 Overload Long-time Delay Protection (LT/L)
原理: Based on the inverse time-lag characteristic (heat accumulation principle), the higher the current, the shorter the trip time (following the I²t law)
応用: Protect cables and motors from long-term overload damage, and withstand short-term overcurrent during motor startup
設定: Ir = 0.4~1.0×In, usually set to the rated current of the protected equipment
3.2.2 Short-circuit Short-time Delay Protection (ST/S)
原理: Definite time-lag characteristic, set a fixed trip time (0.1s~0.5s) to achieve selective protection
応用: Remain closed before the lower-level circuit breaker operates, only cut off the fault branch, and improve power supply continuity
設定: Isd = 1.5~10×Ir, usually set to 5~8×Ir, with the time coordinated with the lower-level circuit breaker
3.2.3 Instantaneous Short-circuit Protection (INST/I)
原理: No time-lag characteristic, trip immediately when the current exceeds the set value (≤ 0.02s)
応用: Protect the circuit breaker itself and upper-level equipment from damage caused by huge short-circuit current (usually ≥ 10×In)
設定: Ii = 5~15×In, usually set to 10~12×In to avoid the peak current during motor startup
3.3 Special Significance of 4-pole Protection
Suitable for TN-S and TN-C-S systems, providing overcurrent protection for the neutral line (N line)
When three-phase unbalance or single-phase ground fault occurs, the neutral line current may reach the phase current level, and the 4-pole design can effectively cut off the fault current
Comply with the protection requirements of IEC 60364 standard for three-phase four-wire systems
