Derating of MCB for use with fluorescent lights

Ferromagnetic and electronic ballasts have a high inrush current for a
short time. These currents can cause the tripping of circuit breakers.
At the time of the installation, it should take into account the maximum
number of ballasts per circuit breaker that the manufacturers of lamps
and ballasts indicate in their catalogues.

n Technical data Association between distribution boards

Association applies to devices installed
Association of protection devices in the same distribution board as well
Association is the technique by which the breaking capacity of a MCB as in different boards. It is therefore
is increased by coordinating it with another protection device, placed generally possible to benefit from the
upstream. This coordination makes it possible to use a protection advantages of the association between Table no 1
device with a breaking capacity which is lower than the maximum devices located, for example, in a main
prospective short-circuit current at its installation point distribution board and in a secondary
board.
The breaking capacity of a protection device must be at least equal to
the maximum short-circuit which may occur at the point at which this Table no 2
device is installed.
In exceptional cases, the breaking capacity may be lower than the
maximum prospective short-circuit, as long as:
• It is associated with a device upstream which has the necessary
breaking capacity at its own installation point
• The downstream device and the trunking being protected can
withstand the power limited by the association of the devices.
Association therefore leads to substantial savings.
The association values given in the tables on the following pages are MCB - switch association
based on laboratory tests carried out in accordance with IEC 60947-2.
The switches must be systematically
Note: In the case of single phase circuits (protected by P+N or 2P MCBs) in a 415 V AC supply, protected by an MCB placed upstream.
supplied upstream by a 3-phase circuit, it is advisable to use the association tables for 230 V.
There is considered to be protection
against overloads if the rating of switch I
Example of association is at least equal to that of the upstream
MCB, D. If this is not the case, the
thermal stresses (devices and
conductors) must be checked.
The tables on the following pages give
DPX 250 ER 250 A the breaking capacity limits of the
Breaking capacity = 50 kA MCB - switch associations.

Lexic MCB 40 A - c curve

Breaking capacity alone = 10 kA
Breaking capacity in association
with DPX 250 ER = 25 kA

3-level association
An association may be created on three levels
if one of the conditions below is met.
• The upstream device A must have an
adequate breaking capacity at its installation
point. Devices B and C are associated with
device A. Simply check that the association
values B+A and C+A have the necessary
breaking capacity.
In this case, there is no need to check the
association between devices B and C.
• The association is made between
successive devices: Upstream device A,
which has an adequate breaking capacity at
its installation point, device C is associated
with device B which is in turn associated with
device A.
Simply check that the association values C+B
and B+A have the necessary breaking
capacity. In this case, there is no need to check
the association between devices A and C.

Association in IT connection systems

The values given in the tables should only be used
for TN and TT systems.
Although this practice is not widely used, these values may also be
used for installations with IT systems. It is therefore advisable to check
that each protection device, on its own, can break, on a single pole, the
maximum double fault current at the point in question.

Discrimination of protection devices Current discrimination

The discrimination is total for IscB
Discrimination is a technique which consists of coordinating the
protection in such a way that a fault on one circuit only trips the
protection placed at the head of that circuit, thus avoiding rendering
the remainder of the installation inoperative. Discrimination improves
continuity of service and safety of the installation
Discrimination rules are set by the regulations concerning public
buildings and for safety installations in general.
Discrimination between A and B is
said to be “total” if it is provided up to
the value of the maximum prospective
short-circuit at the point at which B is
installed.
By extension, in the tables on the
following pages, total discrimination,
indicated by T, means that there is
discrimination up to the breaking
capacity of device B.
Discrimination between A and B is said
to be “partial” in the other cases.
The discrimination limit (given in the following tables) is therefore
defined. This gives the short-circuit current value below which only
MCB ­B will open and above which MCB A will also open. When the downstream MCB B is a limiting device, the short-circuit
current is limited in terms of time and amplitude. The discrimination is
There are a number of techniques for providing discrimination: therefore total if the limited current IscB, which device B allows to pass,
• Current discrimination, used for terminal circuits which have low short- is lower than the tripping current of device A
circuits.
• Time discrimination, provided by a delay on tripping the upstream
MCB
• Logical discrimination, a variant of time discrimination, used on
electronic MCBs via a special link between the devices.
Since almost all faults occur during use,
partial discrimination may be
DPX 250 ER adequate if the discrimination limit is
160 A higher than the value of the maximum
short-circuit which may occur at the
point of use (or at the end of the
trunking). This is referred to as
“operating discrimination“. This
technique is very often adequate, more
economical and less restricting in terms
of implementation.
The discrimination limit for the
Lexic MCB 40 A association DPX 250 ER (160 A) with
Lexic MCB 40 A (C curve) is 6 kA. Since
the prospective ISC at the point
of installation is 8 kA, the discrimination
is not total. However, there is Time discrimination

Selectivity between two levels of protection

• The downstream circuit breaker must always have a magnetic threshold and a rated current lower than those of the upstream protection.
• Selectivity is indicated total (T) if there is selectivity up to the value of breaking capacity (according to IEC / EN 60947-2) of the downstream
circuit breaker.

Selectivity between modular circuits breakers and fuses:

• Selectivity limit at 400 V±: values in Ampere.

Marking example :

Type AC Direct contacts

Direct contact is caused by humans and may be due to either
carelessness or clumsiness.
Type A-S What is a direct contact? How can we protect ourselves?
Here are the answers...
This is when someone makes contact with a live electrical component
Type Hpi of a device or installation.
For example :
• a person inadvertently touching a live cable.
• a child sticking a metal object into a power socket.
• using male/male extensions or unprotected test cables.
In this case only basic protection is effective

Other examples
Someone touching a live busbar in a distribution panel or cabinet, or
someone touching flush-mounted electrical trunking with the end of a
tool, etc. In this case basic protection plus additional protection is
effective.
How can we protect ourselves?
There are two ways (independent of the neutral earthing system) of
ensuring that personnel are protected against direct contact.
• Preventing access to live parts where possible.
Basic protection via physical or electrical isolation of live parts.
This protection must ensure that live parts cannot be touched, even
inadvertently.
How?
By using barriers, enclosures, closed cabinets which physically or
electrically isolate live parts presenting a danger to the user, shuttered
sockets, or insulation.
• Additional protection
Must be provided by a 30‑mA residual current device such as Lexic
range of residual current devices. This protection is required in case
the basic protection detailed above fails.

• A protective RCD according to the neutral earthing system.
50 V is considered as the safe limit of voltage for human body in dry
condition.
How does an electrical current affect the human body?
When subject to a voltage, the human body reacts like any other
receiver with a given internal resistance. An electrical current passes
through the body with three serious risks :
• Locking of the muscles, or tetanisation : the muscles through which
the current passes contract and remain contracted : if this includes
the rib cage, breathing may be impeded.
• Action on the heart : the cardiac rhythm is completely disrupted
(ventricular fibrillation).
• Thermal effects may cause varying levels of damage to body tissue,
including severe burns in the case of very high currents.

A person is in danger of electrocution if the fault current raises

the voltage of the accessible metal part above 50 V to earth.

Important note:
Under the Indian Electricity Rules [rules 61 (A), 71 (1) and 73 (1)],
installation of an RCCB is mandatory in all installations of 5 KW
and above, in all luminous tube signs and X-ray installations. The
bureau of Indian standards recommends that RCCBs installed
at construction sites, temporary installations, agriculture and
horticulture premises, limit the residual current to 30 mA.

two parameters required to assess the risk :
What are the operating principles of a residual current device?
What are the selection criteria for a residual current device?
Here are the answers...

Operating principle of a residual current device

No fault present
Therefore no current is induced
in coil K1, and coil K2 is not
excited. The contacts do not
open. The equipment operates
normally
If = 0, thus
I1 = I2
∅1 = ∅2
∅1 - ∅2 = 0

i∆ : current flowing through body.

t : time taken for current to pass through body.
These curves show the various zones of effect of an alternating current
on people : they derive from IEC 60 479 and determine

Insulation fault
4 main risk zones
Zone Physiological effects A current is thus induced in coil
designation K1...
zone AC-1 Usually no reaction
If ≠ 0
zone AC-2 Usually no harmful physiological effects
zone AC-3 Usually no organic damage to be expected. Likelihood of cramp like I1 > I2, thus
muscular contractions and difficulty in breathing for durations of current-
flow longer than 2 s. Reversible disturbances of formation and conduction of ∅1 > ∅2, thus
impulses in the heart, including atrial fibrillation and transient cardiac arrest ∅1 - ∅2 ≠ 0
without ventricular fibrillation increasing with current magnitude and time
zone AC-4 Increasing with magnitude and time, dangerous pathophysiological effects
such as cardiac arrest, breathing arrest and serious burns may occur in
addition to the effects of zone-3
zone AC-4.1 Probability of ventricular fibrillation increasing up to about 5% C1 - C2
zone AC-4.2 Probability of ventricular fibrillation up to about 50% C2 - C3
zone AC-4.3 Probability of ventricular fibrillation above 50%
* For durations of current flow below 10 ms, the limit for the body current at line b remains constant
at a value of 200 mA.

...coil K2 is excited, the

contacts open and the
equipment is automatically
switched off

Selecting a residual current device

First determine your requirement. This exists on two levels :
1 The need to protect against direct or indirect contacts.
2 The need to ensure protection against overloads and short-circuits.
If protection against indirect contact is required, use residual current
devices with a sensitivity of : 30 mA,
100 mA,
300 mA,
The rating (40, 63 A, etc.) is selected according to the load.
If protection against direct contact is required, use residual current
device with a sensitivity of 30 mA.
The sensitivity of a residual current device I∆n is the current level at
which tripping is sure to occur. To do this, the standards concerning
residual current devices stipulate that tripping must occur between
I∆n / 2 and I∆n.

Residual current circuit-breaker with or without overload
protection? Which do I choose?
Choose a residual current circuit-breaker (RCCB) if you do not need to
protect against overload and short circuits (caution! an RCCB must be
connected to some form of line protection device : either a circuit-
breaker or a fuse).
Choose a residual current circuit-breaker with overload and short circuit
protection (RCBO) if this type of protection is not available.

Residual current circuit-breakers without overload and short

circuit protection (RCCB)

These provide two functions : fault current detection,

measurement and cut-off : and isolation of an
installation.
RCCBs are governed by standards IS 12640 (part 1),
IEC 61008-1.

Residual current circuit-breakers with overload and short circuit

protection (RCBO)

These provide three functions : fault current

Residual current circuit-breakers are
governed by standards IS 12640 (part 2),
IEC 61009-1.

The "test" function
A residual current device is a safety device, and it is therefore vital
that it is regularly tested. This function is therefore required by the
standard governing residual current protective devices, and ensures
correct operation. All Lexic RCDs are equipped with this function.

n Brief description of programming functions

Weekly programs
To create a weekly program, select “MENU”, “PROGRAM”, and then “CREATE” to easily enter programs which are repeated on a weekly basis.
A weekly program consists of a switch-on/switch-off times and days which are assigned as “switched-on” or “switched-off”. The following
predefined blocks can be selected: “MONDAY – SUNDAY”, “MONDAY – FRIDAY” 1) or “SATURDAY – SUNDAY”,1); the assigned days of the week are
fixed. The switch-on/switch-off times must be entered. The user can also set custom day blocks. By selecting “CUSTOM”, switch times can be
freely assigned to any days of the week. This option also allows the user to set switch times at midnight.
1)
Excluding AlphaRex³ DY, AstroRex DY64

Yearly programs [AlphaRex3 DY21, AlphaRex3 DY22]

This menu item allows the user to enter (additional) yearly programs, which are only executed within a defined validity period. They can overlap with
one another and with the weekly programs on the same channel based on an “OR” connective. The validity period is defined by entering the start
date (at 00:00:00) and the end date (at 24:00:00). The start date must be entered before the end date. With the “EVERY YEAR” option, the
additional switch times have the same validity period each year (Christmas, national holidays, birthdays, etc.) Select the “ONCE” option when
additional switch times are needed within a validity period (e.g. during holidays), but the start/end dates of  the holiday period change from year to
year.

Special programs (priority program) [AlphaRex3 DY21, AlphaRex3 DY22]

Weekly and yearly programs on the same channel are not executed during the validity period of a special program. However, other special
programs can be executed during the validity period. Different special programs can overlap with each other based on an “OR” connective. With
the “EVERY YEAR” option, the additional switch times have the same validity period each year (Christmas, national holidays, birthdays, etc.). Select
the “ONCE” option when additional switch times are needed within a validity period (e.g. during holidays), but the start/end dates of the holiday
period change from year to year. Additional options include “MON TO SUN”/“CUSTOM”: the respective channel only switches according to the
special program; “PROG ON”/“PROG OFF”: the respective channel is switched on/off during this time period.

n Basic functions for “astro”

Location (astro) [AlphaRex3 D21 astro, AlphaRex3 D22 astro, AlphaRex3 DY21, AlphaRex3 DY22]
The sunrise/sunset times, which change daily, are calculated for the location programmed in the AlphaRex. The unit is delivered with the location
set to “GERMANY – SOEST” by default. Enter the actual location for optimal operation. This can be done in two ways. Select “MENU”, “SET” and
“ASTRO” to access the two options “LOCATION” and “COORDINATES”. “LOCATION”: With this menu item, the user can select the country and city
which is closest to the site of operation. “COORDINATES”: Alternatively, the user can select this menu item to set the geographical coordinates of
the location. The longitude and latitude values are entered in degrees or degrees and arcminutes 2) (precision can be set in expert mode).
Information on coordinates and time zones can be found in the time zone map included with every time switch.

Offset
By selecting “MENU”, “SET”, “ASTRO” and “OFFSET”, time differentials can be set for the calculated switch times. This can be done in two ways:
time offset or angle offset.
In time offset, a time differential can be entered to shift the switch time by up to +/- 120 min relative to the sunrise/sunset times.
In angle offset 2), a value can be entered in degrees and arcminutes to shift the switch time by up to +/- 12° 00´ relative to the sunrise/sunset times.
The time differentials are set separately for sunrise and sunset using the menu items “SUNSET” (opens the screen for setting the sunset offset) and
“SUNRISE” (opens the screen for setting the sunrise offset).

the sun is visible on the horizon).

Offset correction function 2)

Select “MENU”, “SET”, “ASTRO” and “CORRECTION” to set a time correction for the 6-month periods surrounding summer and winter. The time
correction is set to 0 min. by default and can be set from 1 min. up to 30 min. The time correction for sunset is entered in the “SUNSET” menu item.
The time correction for sunrise is set in the “SUNRISE” menu item. The correction function overlaps with the calculated astronomical switch times,
including the offset settings.
Example:
Setting a time correction extends the daily switched-on time by up to 60 min. in the middle of the six winter months (switches off up to 30 min. later
in the morning and switches on up to 30 min. earlier in the evening). In the middle of the six summer months, the time correction reduces the daily
switched-on time by up to 60 min. (switches off up to 30 min. earlier in the morning and switches on up to 30 min. later in the evening). The time
correction varies continuously between the two max. values during the rest of the year.
Basic settings using a PC and day key
All of the basic settings described above, with the exception of the current time and date, can be set up using the AlphaSoft software from
Legrand and imported to the time switch using the data key. 2) Excluding AstroRex DY64

n Additional functions
Relay function
The relay state can be changed by selecting “MENU” and “FUNCTIONS”. The relay is preset to the “AUTO” function; the time switch switches
at the programmed times. The following can also be selected: “ALWAYS ON”, “ALWAYS OFF” and “EXTRA”. If “EXTRA” is selected, the
switching status specified by the program is inverted. The time switch resumes switching according to the programmed switch times after the
next switch command.

Holiday program
In holiday program, the holiday period is set with a start and an end date. It can be activated with the “ACTIVE” program item and deacti-
vated with “PASSIVE”. If the holiday program is activated, the time switch does not carry out any programmed switch commands during this
time period. Instead, it remains “ALWAYS OFF” or “ALWAYS ON” during the holiday period, as requested. When the holiday period has ended,
the time switch resumes switching according to the programmed switch times.

1 h test
The “1 h TEST” function can be used for a switching simulation. If “1 h TEST” is activated, the switch outputs are switched for one hour.
After the time has ended, the time switch resumes switching according to the programmed switch times.

PIN code
Input and programming can be locked using a four-digit “PIN CODE”. The time switch can be unlocked using the “PIN CODE”. The time
switch can also be unlocked using the “RESET” function, which also deletes all settings and programs.

Operating hours counter

This function displays the time for which the relay has been switched on and the date of the last reset. Counting range: 65,535 h.

Contrast adjustment
This function allows the user to adjust the display contrast.

Expert mode*
Expert mode is activated by selecting “OPTIONS” and “EXPERT”. After expert mode is activated, the following additional functions can be
used: control input “extra” 1), control input “out” 1), cycle function, channel-switching function (2-channel time switches), mains-synchronous
operation, offset correction function 2), geographical coordinates in degrees and arcminutes 2).

AlphaRex3 D21s, AlphaRex3 D21 astro, AlphaRex3 DY21 2) AlphaRex3 astro, AlphaRex3 DY

Control input with switch-off delay

Adjustable switch-off delay via control input. The control input enables an additional switching of the relay, parallel to the switching program.
The switch-off delay can be set from 0 s to 23 h 59 min 59 s. The switch-off delay begins as soon as the voltage is removed from the control
input.

Control input “extra”*

Override of switching state via control input. If the “EXTRA” function is activated, the switching state specified by the program is inverted.
The time switch resumes switching according to the programmed switch times after the next switch command. The “EXTRA” function is ended
prematurely if the button is pressed again or if a pulse is received at the control input.

Control input “off”*

Switch off via control input. Activating the “OFF” function causes the time switch to be switched off via the control input. The “OFF” function
is ended if the button is pressed again or if a pulse is received at the control input. The time switch resumes switching on/off according to
the programmed switch times.

Pulse function
Programmable with precision to the second.

Cycle function
Function for cyclical switching. With this function, the time switch is switched on once within a defined time period and for a defined duration.
The cycle time can be set between 2 s and 2 h. The switch-on time can be set between 1 s and 1 h 59 min 59 s.
Zyklus max 2 h
Min. Max.
Cycle 2s 2h
Switch-on time 1s 1 h 59 min 59 s 1 s ... 1 h 59 min 59 s

Random function
If the random function is activated, set switch times are randomly shifted within a range of +/- 15 minutes.

Channel-switching function*
With 2-channel time switches, this function can be activated so that the time switch regularly switches between the outputs assigned to the
channels, in order to protect connected devices (for example lights/lamps) or so that two devices can be used simultaneously.
The channel-switching function is activated by selecting “MENU”, “OPTIONS” and “CHANNEL 1<>2”. The time switch switches between
the outputs according to whether the menu item “DAILY” (once per day at 12:00 p.m.) or “WEEKLY” (once per week on Sunday at 12:00
p.m.) is selected.

Mains-synchronous operation
Mains-synchronised clock precision. By activating the “SYNC” function and then “ACTIVE”, the quartz-controlled time switch becomes a
synchronous time switch.

In some countries, and depending on the end use of the building,
national regulations may always stipulate the installation of SPDs (for
