Page 113: Protective Functions
9.1.5 Protective functions 9.1.5.1 Basic protective functions The basic protective functions of the trip unit are ensured without additional auxiliary voltage. The required energy is supplied by the  circuit breaker's internal energy transformers. To evaluate the currents, the electronic system of the trip unit calculates the r.m.s value. The individual functions are parameterized according to the types via: - rotary coding switch (ETU745) - electronic data transfer (ETU776) via:...
Page 114 Motor protection function 0.02 sec.), a special motor protective function is enabled which prevents short-time  When the short-time delay is set to 20ms (t  (page 9-13) tripping during the turn-on inrush for motors. At the same time, a phase loss sensing function is enabled and the thermal time constant used for long-time protection is changed from one suitable for bus protection to one suitable for motor protection.
Page 115 Neutral conductor protection – N-tripping Trip units ETU745 - 776 also make it possible to protect the neutral conductor against overload. This requires a current transformer for the  (page 9-97) neutral conductor, which can be retrofitted if necessary. For tripping, the same long-time delay t applies as for overload tripping.
Page 116 Thermal memory can be switched On/Off Trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to continue with the internally calculated reproduction of the thermal processes in downstream switchgear and consumers even if the circuit breaker is open and the electronic system has no external supply. In this way, an effective protection against thermal overload can also be guaranteed for frequent closing and opening processes.
Page 117 Short-time delayed short-circuit protection switchable to I Trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to switch over from a constant delay time to an I t-characteristic. In this way, the delay time depends on the short-circuit current, but with a constant I -value, providing better coordination with downstream fuses.
Page 118 Ground-fault protection switchable to I t characteristic The ground-fault protection modules for trip units ETU745 - 776 make it possible to switch over from a constant delay time to an  t characteristic. This provides an inverse-time tripping characteristic with a constant I value, providing better selectivity of the ground-fault protection in systems with several grading levels.

10.2 Resetting the Bell Alarm with reclosing lockout (optional) WL circuit breakers are normally configured to be immediately "Ready-to-close" again following a trip. With the automatic reset of the Bell Alarm, the tripping coil is automatic resetting after the trip unit has tripped. The circuit breaker is immediately "Ready-to-close" again. For confirmation, the tripped indicator must be reset, either manually on the trip unit or via the remote reset coil.

Page 229: Mechanism Operated Contacts (Moc)
12.8 Mechanism Operated Contacts (MOC) The circuit breaker may be equipped with an external auxiliary switch assembly. These external auxiliary switches are known as  Mechanism Operated Contacts. In short, the assembly is also referred to as the MOC. The MOC assembly is mounted within the circuit breaker compartment (cradle) and is connected to the main breaker-driveshaft  via a coupler, which is added to the circuit breaker during the MOC installation.
Page 230: Moc Versions
12.8.1 MOC Versions The MOC device may be ordered in two versions for drawout circuit breakers: The auxiliary contacts, in the “Connect Only” version of the MOC, only change state when the circuit breaker is opened/closed while it  is in the “CONNECTED” position within the circuit breaker compartment. There are two distinct models of the “Connect Only” MOC, one  for circuit breaker frame size 2 (WLMOCC) and a second for circuit breaker frame size 3 (WLMOCC3).
Page 231 The coupler snaps onto the end of the steel mainshaft. The steel band should not be removed when installing the coupler. Also ensure  that the coupler is oriented properly when installed. Figure 3 illustrates the proper installed orientation of a shaft extension (circuit breaker shown in the OPEN position), with the tampered flange facing the rear of the circuit breaker..
Page 232 12.8.2.2 Installing the MOC Baseplate Assembly The MOC baseplate assembly is secured to the circuit breaker compartment (cradle) by two tabs in the rear and two screws in the front. With the screws inserted from the inside of the cubicle, and the nuts and lockwashers on the outside, the nuts must be torqued to  71 lbin (8 Nm).
Page 233 12.8.2.4 Removing the Contact Blocks NOTICE MOC Reliability May cause intermittent signaling. All four contact blocks, whether wired or not, must be installed into the MOC assembly to ensure reliable operation. The contact blocks must be removed in order to access the terminals for wiring. The contact blocks should be removed by applying a small amount of outward pressure with a thin blade screwdriver, in the area shown in Figure 6.
Page 234 12.8.2.5 Wiring the Contact Blocks The contact blocks are designated (front of cradle to rear of cradle) S50, S51, S52, and S53. Each contact block contains one “a” and one “b” contact, with the terminal designations as shown below. Each terminal accepts a maximum of one wire, 14 AWG (or smaller), and shall be tightened to 7 lbin (0.8 Nm).

These settings should be restored at the conclusion of all inspection and testing. Proper handling of WL Circuit Breakers It is important to adhere to all rigging and transportation requirements for Siemens type WL circuit breakers (page 4-1).
Page 327: General Notes
25.1 General Notes A few facts about WL trip units and breakers will help the tester understand how best to accomplish the required testing quickly and easily. Air Core Sensor Technology WL Breakers are equipped with air-core current sensors (Rogowsky coils, also known as linear couplers) and, as such, the ETUs cannot be tested by conventional secondary injection techniques.
Page 328 Ground Fault Mode Selection (Setting) Before beginning to test, the Ground Fault Mode setting should be verified. a. If connected to a 3- or 4-wire residual system, the mode switch must be in the summation position. In this mode, the ETU will per- form a vector summation of phases A, B, C and if connected, N (Neutral).
Page 329: Primary Injection Phase Current Testing
25.2 Primary Injection Phase Current Testing Circuit Breakers Without Ground Fault Protection WL Breakers equipped with trip units without ground fault protection can be easily single phase tested by injecting current into either the line or load connection of any phase and out the opposite connection. Figure 2 Circuit Breakers With 3- or 4-Wire Residual Ground Fault Protection WL Breakers equipped with trip units with residual ground fault protection must be phase injected such that the ETU sees two active phases...
Page 330: Primary Injection Ground Fault Current Testing
25.3 Primary Injection Ground Fault Current Testing Circuit Breakers With 3-Wire Residual Ground Fault Protection Testing is accomplished by routing current through one phase of the breaker. The Ground Fault Mode switch must be in the up position (summation symbol) in order for the residual ground fault detection to be tested. Circuit Breakers using 4-Wire Residual Ground Fault Protection via the External Neutral Sensor (air core) To test a WL breaker equipped with trip 4-wire residual ground fault protection, the ETU must first be activated by injecting 80-100A through the breaker itself (Source A).
Page 331 Also using a single source, the system can be tested to verify that the circuit breaker will not trip. Figure 6 Secondary Terminals X8-9 & X8-10 External Air-Core GF Sensor on Neutral or Ground Bus Source Circuit Breakers using Direct Sensing Ground Fault Protection via the External GF Sensor (iron core) The WL trip units can be connected to an external 1200:1 iron core sensor to provide indication of a ground fault.
Page 332: Achieving Correct External Neutral Sensor Polarity
25.4 Achieving Correct External Neutral Sensor Polarity (for air-core sensors WLNCT2 and WLNCT3) The polarity of the neutral sensor must be observed when installing the neutral sensors in the apparatus. The "dot" side of the sensor, iden- tified as P2 in the drawing below, must face in the same direction as the bottom stabs on the breaker. The schematics and elevation drawing identify the P2 side with a "dot"...
