ensured for residual pulsating
direct currents, whether
suddenly applied or slowly rising.
They are used whenever fault
currents are not sinusoidal. It
reduces the unexpected tripping
when they protect equipment
generating disturbances like DC

Residual current devices
A residual current device (RCCB) is the generic term for a device
which simultaneously performs the functions of detection of the residual current, comparison of this value with the rated residual
operating value and opening the protected circuit when the residual
current exceeds this value.

RCCBs must be protected against short-circuits by means of

circuit-breakers or fuses. RCBOs have their own in built short-circuit
protection, up to its rated value.
Whole house protection is provided typically by a consumer unit

where the RCCB device serves as the main switch. Although very
popular this suffers from a disadvantage: all circuits are
disconnected in the event of fault. Selective protection can be

All circuits are fed via an overall isolator and selected circuits fed
additionally via the RCCB. Typical circuits fed direct are lighting,
freezer, storage heating: and circuits fed via the RCCB are socket
outlets, garage circuits. This concept minimises inconvenience in

supplied through an RCBO. This method provides the best solution
for minimising inconvenience.
It is most important that the line and neutral conductors are passed
through the torroid. A common cause of nuisance operation is the
failure to connect the neutral through the device.
RCCBs work just as well on three phase or three phase and neutral
circuits, but when the neutral is distributed it must pass through the
torroid.
RCCBs are not suitable for use on DC systems and unearthed
networks.
RCCBs domestic installation
RCCBs can be installed in two ways:
1. whole house protection.
2. selective protection.
Nuisance tripping
$OO+DJHU5&&%VLQFRUSRUDWHDOWHULQJGHYLFHSUHYHQWLQJWKHULVNRI
nuisance tripping due to transient voltages (lightning, line
disturbances on other equipment...) and transient currents (from high
capacitive circuit).
Pulsating DC fault current sensitive
Increasingly, semi-conductors are also extensively used in
computers, VDUs, printers, plotters... all of which may be fed from
the mains electrical supply. The presence of semi-conductors may
result in the normal sinusoidal ACZDYHIRUPEHLQJPRGLHG)RU
H[DPSOHWKHZDYHIRUPPD\EHUHFWLHGRUDVLQDV\PPHWULFSKDVH
control devices, the waveform may be chopped. The resulting
waveforms are said to have a pulsating DC component.
In the event of an earth fault occurring in equipment containing
semi-conductor devices, there is a probability that the earth fault
current will contain a pulsating DC component.
Standard type AC may not respond to this type of earth fault current
and the intended degree of protection will not be provided.

Where the overcurrent protection or a circuit breaker cannot provide
GLVFRQQHFWLRQZLWKLQWKHVSHFLHGWLPHEHFDXVHWKHHDUWKIDXOWORRS
impedance is too high the addition of RCCB protection may well
solve the problem without any other change in the system. Because
of its high sensitivity to earth fault current and its rapid operating
time, in most cases the RCCB will ensure disconnection within the
VSHFLHGWLPH7KLVLVDFKLHYHGZLWKRXWDQ\GHWULPHQWWRRYHUFXUUHQW
discrimination because, unlike the situation in a fuse based system,
the increased sensitivity is obtained without increasing sensitivity to
overcurrent faults. Use of RCCBs in this way can be particularly
useful for construction sites and bathrooms where disconnection
times are more stringent than for standard installations. (Construction
sites - 0.2s at 220-277V, bathrooms - 0.4s).
The limitation to this technique is the requirement that the rated
residual operating current multiplied by Zs should not exceed 50V.
This is to avoid the danger of exposed conductive parts reaching an
unacceptably high voltage level.
Residual current protection can even be added to a completed
distribution system where the value of Zs is excessive, either beFDXVHRIDGHVLJQRYHUVLJKWRUVXEVHTXHQWZLULQJPRGLFDWLRQ

Note :
Although RCCBs are extremely effective devices they must never be
used as the only method of protection against electric shock. With or
without RCCBs protection all electrical equipment should be kept in
good condition and should never be worked on live.
RCCBs, although affording good protection against the potentially

lethal effects of electric shock, must not be used as a the sole means
of protection against shock by direct contact. The Electricity at Work
Act recommends the use of RCCBs, ....danger may be reduced by
the use of a residual current device but states that this should be ....

that very small currents can be tolerated for reasonably long periods
and moderate currents for very short periods. It can be seen, for
instance, that 100mA for 100mS or 20mA for 500mS will not
normally cause any harmful effect. 200mA for 200mS or 50mA for
500mS which are in Zone 3, would be more dangerous; and shock
levels in Zone 4 carry a risk of lethal consequences.

main areas of application being as follows:
The tripping characteristic for a 30mA RCCB is also shown in the

graph. It shows the level of current required to cause the RCCB to
trip, for example; 50mA will cause a trip but not 10mA.
Comparing its characteristic with the various zones on the graph
it can be seen that the 30mA RCCB gives a very good measure of
protection against the hazards associated with electric shock. Where
a higher level of protection is required, for example in laboratories,
10mA devices are available.

zone
Bonding conductors are used in an installation to maintain
metallic parts, as near as possible, to the same potential as earth.
Working with portable equipment outside this equipotential
bonding zone, e.g. in the car park of a factory, introduces
additional shock hazards. Socket outlets rated 32A or less which
may be reasonably expected to supply portable equipment for use
outdoors should have at least one socket nominated for outdoor
use. This socket should be equipped with 30 mA RCCB protection
unless fed from an isolating transformer or similar device, or fed
from a reduced voltage.
r/QNSDBSHNMHMRODBH@KRHST@SHNMR
The use of RCCBs is obligatory or recommended in the following
situations:
- caravans: 30mA RCCB should be used.
- TT systems.
- swimming pools: 30mA RCCB for socket outlets in Zone B
obligatory; recommended in Zone C.
- agricultural and horticultural: 30mA RCCB for socket outlets and

The use of RCCBs with PEN conductors is prohibited. A PEN
conductor is a single conductor combining the functions of
neutral conductor and protective conductor. This being so, when
the PEN conductor is taken through the torroid of an RCCB, earth
faults will go undetected because the return path for the earth fault
current is included in the residual sum.

Surge Protection Devices Type 2
These transients can cause

premature ageing of equipment,
downtime, or complete
destruction of electronic
components and materials.
SPDs are strongly recommended
in installations that are exposed
to transients, to protect sensitive
and expensive electrical
equipment such as TV, video,
washing machines, Hi-Fi, PC,
alarm etc.
The range of SPDs is separated

into 2 types of protection:
1. Main protection - class 2
SPDs with higher discharge
current (Imax 8/20), to evacuate
as much of the transient to earth
as possible,
2. Fine protection - class 2 + 3
SPDs with low voltage protection
level (Up 1,2kV), to cut-down
the transient surge as low as
possible to protect very sensitive
equipment.
Technical data
Complies with EN61643-U
signalling (R versions only)

230V~ 1A
12V ... 10mA
Installation and Connection
The main protection SPDs are
installed directly after the main
incoming switch or RCCB
(type S).
SPDs can be used in any supply
system e.g TNCS, TNS, TT.
Options:
Spare cartridges.
Connected in parallel to the
equipment to be protected.
Protection is assured in both
common and differential modes.
The choice of SPD depends on a

Circuit Protection
Electric shock
Electric shock is divided into two parts:
s direct contact: contact with parts which result in an electric shock
in normal service
s indirect contact: contact with exposed conductive parts which
result in an electric shock in case of a fault.
To protect against direct contact the Wiring Regulations
suggest the following basic measures should be taken:
(1) by insulation of live parts
(2) by enclosures or barriers
(3) by obstacles
(4) by placing out of reach
To protect against indirect contact the Wiring Regulations suggest
the following basic measures should be taken:
(1) earthed equipotential bonding and automatic disconnection of
supply
(2) use of class II equipment or equivalent insulation
(3) non-conducting location
(4) earth-free local equipotential bonding
(5) electrical separation
2IWKHVHYHPHDVXUHVWKHUVWLVE\IDUWKHPRVWFRPPRQO\XVHG
(1) earthed equipotential bonding and automatic disconnection of
supply:
In each installation main equipotential bonding conductors shall
connect the main earthing terminal of the installation; this metalwork
comprises exposed conductive parts which are part of the electrical
installation itself and extraneous conductive parts including the
following:
s main water pipes
s gas installation pipes
s other service pipes and ducting
s risers of central heating and air conditioning systems
s exposed metal parts of the building structure
This bonding creates a zone within which any voltages appearing
between exposed conductive parts and extraneous conductive parts,
are minimised; the earth fault loop impedance must have an value

PXVWEHVXIFLHQWO\IDVWVRWKDWYROWDJHVDSSHDULQJRQWKHERQGHG
metalwork cannot persist long enough to cause danger; depending
on the operating characteristics of the protective device and the earth
impedance, such disconnection may be achieved either by
overcurrent devices, Fuses, Miniature Circuit Breakers, (i.e. MCBs) or
by Residual Current Devices, (i.e. RCCBs).
Thermal Effect
Refers to heat generated by the electrical equipment in normal use
and under fault conditions. The proper selection of equipment
complying with the latest product standards is essential in providing
protection against thermal effects.
Overcurrent

components. It may be caused by the overloading of a healthy circuit
RULWPD\WDNHWKHIRUPRIDVKRUWFLUFXLWFXUUHQWGHQHGDVDQ
overcurrent resulting from a fault of negligible impedance between
live conductors having a difference in potential under normal
operating conditions. Overcurrent protection may be provided by
using fuses or circuit breakers singly or in combination.
Undervoltage
Refers to the dangers that could be caused by the reduction or loss
in voltage and the subsequent restoration, such as the unexpected
re-starting of motors or the automatic closing of protective devices.
The proper selection of control and protective devices must take the
protection against undervoltage into consideration.
Isolation
Every circuit shall be provided with means of isolation (except in
certain cases) to prevent or remove hazards associated with the
installation, equipment and machines. The new standards for circuit
breakers and switch-fuses now take this into account.
Protection against shock by indirect contact
Indirect contact - is the contact of persons or livestock with exposed
conductive parts made live by a fault and which may result in
electric shock. An example would be where the insulation of an
electric heater has broken down resulting in a live conductor internally
touching the casing. This could result in the heater casing being
raised to a hazardous voltage level, causing electric shock to a
person touching it.
Two important measures must be taken to prevent this hazard:
s the impedance of circuit conductors is kept to a minimum.
The eartfault loop impedance (Zs) is used as a measure of the circuit
impedance under fault conditions.
s the overcurrent device protecting the circuit is selected to rapidly
disconnect an earth fault.
The effect of these two measures is inter-related.
1. By ensuring that the circuit protective conductor is of a low
impedance, the voltage to which the live casing is raised, under
fault conditions, is kept to a minimum.
2. The low impedance path provided by the circuit conductors and
the circuit protective conductor will result in a high level of
current in the event of an earth fault. This high fault current
ensures that the overcurrent protective device will disconnect the
fault in a short time, reducing the interval during which the casing
of the faulty equipment is live.

Protection Devices
Basic Principles
The proper selection of the correct circuit protective device requires
an understanding of the potential hazards against which protection
for safety is required. The Wiring Regulations identify several hazards:
s electric shock
s thermal effects
s overcurrent
s undervoltage
s isolation
Circuit Protection
Therefore: Zs = Ze + (R1 + R2)

Once the value of Zs has been established a suitable overcurrent
protective device has to be selected to ensure disconnection of an

0.4 seconds.
therefore be Uo/Zs = 240/0.7 = 343A

By referring to the characteristic for MT132 (see diagram below) it can
be seen that the breaker will disconnect in 0.02 seconds for this curUHQW7KHEUHDNHUWKHUHIRUHHDVLO\VDWLVHVWKHUHTXLUHPHQWIRUGLVFRQnection in 5 seconds.
If the circuit Zs was 2.0 ohms then the fault current would be:
240/2 = 120A and the disconnection time would be 10 seconds, in
which case compliance would not be achieved.

To establish whether the relevant disconnection time can be achieved
a simple calculation must be made, based on Ohms law:

The fault current (If) must be high enough to cause the circuit
SURWHFWLYHGHYLFHWRWULSLQWKHVSHFLHGWLPH7KLVFDQEHHVWDEOLVKHG
by consulting the time/current characteristic for the protective device.
If the maximum trip time for the fault current calculated is less than or

equipment) then compliance is achieved. It is important that when
consulting the characteristic curve the worst case is used, i.e. the
maximum tripping time including any tolerance. An example is shown
in Figs 1 and 2.
Zs by tables
The above procedure can be used for any type of protective device
providing a time/current characteristic curve is available. Frequently,
however, a much simpler method is available using tables listing
maximum Zs values which have been interpreted from the
characteristic curves for the relevant devices. Providing the system
Zs is equal to or less than the value given in the table, compliance is
achieved. Tables for a number of standard devices (certain fuses
and MCBs) are given in the Wiring Regulations.
Zs too high
If the system Zs value is too high to achieve rapid enough
disconnection with the overcurrent protective devices available then
it is necessary to use one of the two following methods:

Protection against overcurrent

Overcurrent - A current exceeding the rated value. For conductors
the rated value is the current-carrying capacity
Overload Current
An overcurrent occurring in a circuit which is electrically sound
Short-Circuit Current
An overcurrent resulting from a fault of negligible impedance
between live conductors having a difference in potential under normal
operating conditions.
Protection against Overload Current
For the protection against overload current, protective devices must
EHSURYLGHGLQWKHFLUFXLWWREUHDNDQ\RYHUORDGFXUUHQWRZLQJLQWKH
circuit conductors before it can cause a temperature rise which would
be detrimental to insulation, joints, terminations or the surroundings
of the conductors.
In order to achieve this protection the nominal current of the
protective device In should be not less than the design current of the
circuit Ib and that In should not exceed the current-carrying capacity
of the conductors Iz, and that the current causing effective operation
of the protective device I2 does not exceed 1.45 times the currentcarrying capacity of the conductor Iz, expressed as
Ib ) In ) Iz
I2 )1.45Iz
Protection against Short-Circuit Current
Protective devices must be provided to break any short-circuit
current before it can cause danger due to thermal and mechanical
(electro-dynamic) effects produced in the conductors and
connections. The breaking capacity of the protective device shall not
be less than the prospective short-circuit current at the point at which
the device is installed. However a lower breaking capacity is
permitted provided that a properly co-ordinated back-up device
having the necessary breaking capacity is installed on the supply
side.
Positioning of Overcurrent Devices
Devices for the protection against overload and short-circuit must be
placed at the point where a reduction occurs in the current-carrying
capacity of the conductors. This reduction could be caused by a
change in the environmental conditions as well as the more obvious
change in the cross-sectional area of the cable.
There are of course exceptions to this general rule which relate to a
very few special applications. These are set out in detail in the the
Wiring Regulations.

In addition IEC 898 sets out to provide a greater degree of safety to

the uninstructed users of circuit breakers. It is interesting to note that
the description miniature circuit breaker or MCB is not used at all in
this standard, but no doubt both manufacturers and users will continue to call circuit breakers complying with IEC 898 miniature circuit
breakers or MCBs for some time to come.
The scope of this standard is limited to ac air break circuit breakers
for operation at 50Hz or 60Hz, having a rated current not exceeding
125A and a rated short-circuit capacity not exceeding 25kA.
A rated service short-circuit breaking capacity Ics is also included
which is equal to the rated short-circuit capacity Icn for short-circuit
capacity values up to and including 6kA, and 50% of Icn above 6kA
with a minimum value of 7.5kA. As the circuit- breakers covered
by this standard are intended for household and similar uses, Ics
is of academic interest only. The rated short-circuit capacity of a
MCB (Icn) is the alternating component of the prospective current
expressed by its r.m.s. value, which the MCB is designed to make,
FDUU\IRULWVRSHQLQJWLPHDQGWREUHDNXQGHUVSHFLHGFRQGLWLRQV,cn
LVVKRZQRQWKH0&%ODEHOLQDUHFWDQJXODUER[ZLWKRXWWKHVXI[o$p
and is the value which is used for application purposes. Icn (of the
MCB) should be equal to or greater than the prospective short-circuit
current at the point of application.
You will see from the curves that the inverse time delay characteristic
which provides overload protection is the same on all three. This is
because the Standards requires the breaker to carry 1.13 times the
rated current without tripping for at least one hour and when the test
current is increased to 1.45 times the rated current, it must trip within
one hour, and again from cold if the last current is increased to 2.55
times the rated current the breaker must trip between 1 and 120
seconds. The inverse time delay characteristic of all MCBs claiming
compliance with IEC 898 must operate within these limits.
The difference between the three types of characteristic curves

designated B, C and D concerns only the magnetic instantaneous
trip which provides short-circuit protection.

times rated current.
Often manufacturers publish their MCB tripping characteristics
showing the limits set by the standard and guarantee that any
breaker that you purchase will operate within these limits. So great
care should be taken when working with characteristic curves showing lower and higher limits - on no account should you take a mean
point for application design purposes.
For cable protection applications you should take the maximum
tripping time and some manufacturers publish single line
characteristic curves which show the maximum tripping time. If the
design problem is nuisance tripping then the minimum tripping time
should be used and for desk top co-ordination studies, both lower
and upper limits have to be taken into account.
Energy limiting
Energy is measured in Joules. *James Prescott Joule proved that
WKHUPDOHQHUJ\ZDVSURGXFHGZKHQDQHOHFWULFFXUUHQWRZHG
through a resistance for a certain time, giving us the formula :
Joules = I2 x R x t or because we know that watts = I2R
Joules = watts x seconds
Therefore we can say that :
One Joule = one watt second
or energy = watts x seconds = I2 R t
If the resistance (R) remains constant or is very small compared with
the current (I) as in the case of short-circuit current, then energy
becomes proportional to I2t. Which is why the energy let-through of a
protective device is expressed in ampere squared seconds and
referred to as I2t
I2t (Joule Integral) is the integral of the square of the current over a
given time interval (t0, t1)
The I2t characteristic of a circuit breaker is shown as a curve giving
the maximum values of I2t as a function of the prospective current.
Manufacturers are required by the Standard to produce the I2t
characteristic of their circuit breakers.
2DDOQDUHNTRO@FD
The energy limiting characteristics of modern MCBs greatly reduce
the damage that might otherwise be caused by short-circuits. They
SURWHFWWKHFDEOHLQVXODWLRQDQGUHGXFHWKHULVNRIUHDQGRWKHU
damage. Knowledge of the energy limiting characteristic of a circuit
breaker also helps the circuit designer calculate discrimination with
other protective devices in the same circuit.
Because of the importance of the energy limiting characteristic the
Standards for circuit breakers for household and similar installations
suggests three energy limiting classes based on the permissible I2t
(let-through) values for circuit breakers up to 32A; class 3 having the
highest energy limiting performance.
All Hager MCBs are well within the limits of energy let-through set by
IEC 898 for energy limiting class 3.

Note that the limit of discrimination is the instantaneous setting of the

associated circuit breaker. In other words if the earth fault current is
greater than the instantaneous trip setting of the associated circuit
breaker, the circuit breaker will trip regardless of the time delay on the
RCCB. The table below indicates how time discrimination may be
achieved between RCCBs.

Having decided on the type and the limit of discrimination of the

circuit breakers in the system, it is very important to consider the
discrimination between any add on RCCBs. In theory it is possible to
achieve current discrimination between RCCBs but the limit of
discrimination is too low for practical purposes. Time discrimination is
by far the best method and is achieved by delaying the tripping of the
upstream RCCB.

Use of MCBs in DC Systems

DC applications
Because of their quick make and break design and excellent arc
quenching capabilities, Hager circuit breakers are suitable for use on
DC. When selecting a circuit breaker for any DC application it is
necessary to consider 2 main points:
@RXRSDLUNKS@FD
The system voltage and the type of system determines the number
of poles required to provide the necessary breaking capacity and arc
control. The table gives the maximum DC voltage and breaking
capacity for one pole or two poles connected in the series:
The positioning of these breaking poles in the system depends on
whether the system is earthed or insulated and if it is earthed whether
one polarity is earthed or the centre point is earthed.
ASXODNE#"RXRSDLRCHEEDQDMSSXODR
s Network connected to the earth - one polarity earthed (+ve or -ve):
If -ve is earthed, all poles will be placed in series in the +ve leg. If
the +ve is earthed, all poles will be placed in the -ve leg.
Note: an extra pole will be needed on the earthed polarity to provide
isolation.
s Network connected to the earth - middle point earthed:
The number of poles required to break Isc should be placed on
each polarity.
s Network insulated to the earth:
The number of poles required to break Isc should be split between
the two polarities.

Discrimination
Co-Ordination between circuit protective devices
The proper co-ordination of two circuit protective devices is essential
LQDOOLQVWDOODWLRQVLQRUGHUWRIXOOWKHUHTXLUHPHQWVRIWKH:LULQJ
Regulations which set out to ensure the safe continuity of supply of
electrical current under all conditions of service. If a fault does occur,
the circuit protective device nearest the fault should operate, allowing
the device immediately upstream to continue to supply healthy
circuits. This is called discrimination.
Sometimes the upstream device is selected to protect the
downstream device(s) against high prospective short circuit currents
and will operate to provide this protection should the actual short
circuit current rise to a level which cannot be handled by the device
nearest the fault. This is called back-up protection and devices
should be so chosen as to allow discrimination up to the point the
back-up device takes over.
Discrimination
Discrimination, which is sometimes called selectivity, is the
co-ordination of two automatic circuit protective devices in such a
way that a fault appearing at any given point in an installation is
cleared by the protective device installed immediately upstream of
the fault and by that device alone.
$W@LOKD

the right). For this example the time/current characteristics of a 32A

type B circuit breaker complying with BS EN 60898, with a 100A
category A circuit breaker to BS EN 60947 Part 2 are checked for
current
discrimination.
Because the thermal characteristic curve of the upstream circuit
breaker clears the knee of the characteristic curve of the smaller
downstream breaker, it can be said that overload discrimination is
achieved under all conditions. However because the instantaneous
characteristic curves cross at 0.01 sec, short-circuit discrimination is
limited up to the point they cross, which in this case is approximately
2.7kA. The point at which the two time/current characteristics cross
is called the limit of discrimination or selectivity. In this example the
level of discrimination Is is 2.7kA, so we only have partial
discrimination between these two devices.
Time discrimination
Time discrimination is achieved by delaying the opening of the
upstream circuit breaker until the downstream circuit breaker
haopened and cleared the fault. The total clearing time of the
downstream circuit breaker must be less than the time setting of the
upstream circuit breaker and the upstream circuit breaker must be
able to withstand the fault current for the time setting period.
Therefore the upstream circuit breaker must be a category B
breaker which has been designed and tested for this purpose.
To determine time discrimination it is only necessary to
compare the time/current characteristic curves of the two devices to
ensure that no overlap occurs.
Upstream

Category B

protective devices remain closed ensuring continuity of supply to the
rest of the installation.
When this ideal situation is achieved under all conditions it is called
total discrimination.
Discrimination between two protective devices can be based on
either the magnitude of the fault which is called current
discrimination or the duration of the time the upstream device can
withstand the fault current; this is called time discrimination.
Current discrimination
In order to achieve current discrimination in a distribution system it
is necessary for the downstream device to have a lower continuous
current rating and a lower instantaneous tripping value than the
upstream device. Current discrimination increases as the difference
between the continuous current ratings of the upstream and
downstream devices increases.
A simple way of checking current discrimination at both overload and
short-circuit conditions is to compare the time/current characteristic
curves of both devices plotted to the same scale. Transparency
overlays, if available, make this task much easier (see diagram on

Current (Amperes)
Short circuit discrimination

A more accurate way of checking the discrimination between two
circuit protective devices at short circuit levels is to compare the
energy let-through of the downstream device with the no-tripping or
pre-arcing energy levels of the upstream device.
In order to check current discrimination at short circuit levels
between:
Fuse Upstream - Fuse Downstream
It is only necessary to compare the I2t values of each fuse. This
information is usually available in very simple tabular form (see Table
1 page D.61). If the total let-through energy (I2t) of the downstream
fuse is less
than the pre-arcing energy (I2t) of the upstream fuse, then total
discrimination is achieved at short-circuit levels.

Back-up Protection
Sometimes known as cascading, when the energy limiting capacity of
an upstream breaker is used to allow the use of a downstream circuit
breaker having a short circuit breaking capacity (Icu) lower than the
prospective fault level at the point at which it is installed.

It should be noted that when two circuit protective devices are used
in association to improve the short-circuit capacity of the
downstream device, total selectivity can never be achieved up to the
assigned breaking capacity of the association.
The upstream device must at some point operate to provide the
necessary protection to the downstream circuit breaker. This point,
which is known as the take-over current, must not be greater than the
rated short-circuit capacity of the downstream circuit breaker alone.
It therefore follows that the limit of selectivity IS will be less than the
take-over current IB. See Diagram above.

Example
A panelboard is to be installed at a point where the prospective fault
level is 25kA. 250A incoming and 16A TP outgoing circuits. Select the
lowest cost circuit breakers which may be used. See diagram below.
Incoming - Hager H250 MCCB having an Icu of 40kA.
Fuse Upstream - Circuit breaker downstream. The same procedure

applies to fuse/circuit breaker as it does to fuse/fuse association to
check current discrimination.
While for all practical purposes, a desk top study of time/current and
let-through energy (I2t) characteristics are perfectly adequate, the
British Standards for circuit breakers do recommend testing to

This allows circuit breakers of lower breaking capacity than the PSCC
to be installed. The principle is that two breakers operating in series
will clear a larger fault and that energy let through by the upstream
breaker will not damage the down stream device.
