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.
