Molded Case Switches

:  The Molded Case Switch 

(MCS)

 

is 

similiar to the Circuit Breaker except that it has a differ-

trip at 15,000 Ampere but there is no overload short delay 

or ground fault trip.  As a result sections 2.6, 4.5, 6.8 and 

7 are not applicable.  In the remaining sections the term 

circuit breaker shall also include the molded case switch.

 

Overload Trip:

  In accordance with standards require-

ments, the trip unit initiates a trip of the circuit breaker 

within two hours of an overload of 135 percent, and a trip in 

less time for higher overloads.

A “Thermal Memory” effect prevents the breaker from being 

reenergized immediately after an overload.  A “cooling off” 

period of up to 5 minutes is required, which allows time for 

the cabling to cool off.

Short delay/Instantaneous Trip

:  For short circuit con-

ditions that exceed the short delay pick-up settings, the 

trip units initiate a trip after a delay prescribed by the I²t 

response time delay action is provided by trip unts desig-

nated LSI and LSIG unless the instantaneous (I) setting is 

selected.
