4.8.3.2
Features
The COM800/COM100 breaker data server together with the connected 3VA UL molded
case circuit breakers with the ETUs 5-series and 8-series provides the following information
about the power distribution system:
●
Condition of the 3VA UL molded case circuit breaker
●
Tripping history with time stamp, cause of trip and number of trip events for breakers with
ETUs 5-series and 8-series
●
Minimum and maximum values of measured variables
●
Limit-value monitoring for measured variables in the 3VA UL molded case circuit breakers
●
Load curves with power demands, e.g. 15-minute demands
●
Energy values such as active energy (kWh) and reactive energy (kvarh)
●
Power supply to connected 3VA UL molded case circuit breakers
●
Three simultaneous communication connections via the integrated Ethernet interface
4.8.4
Communication with ETUs
Electronic trip units allow detailed setting of protection parameters from a central location.
They record measured variables and maintenance information in order to support power and
installation monitoring.
The electronic trip units (ETUs) provide the following protection functions:
●
Overload protection L ("L" = Long time)
●
Short-time delayed short-circuit release S ("S" = Short time) for time-selective response in
case of a short-circuit
●
Instantaneous short-circuit release I ("I" = Instantaneous)
●
Protection of the neutral conductor against overload and short-circuit ("N" = neutral)
●
Protection from fault currents to ground ("G" = Ground fault).
