With regard to lifting, follow the instructions: the circuit-breakers must be placed on a sturdy supporting surface and lifted, preferably, by means of a special fork-lift truck. However, the use of ropes is allowed. In this case, the lifting ropes must be hooked up as shown in the figures (the lifting plates are always supplied with the circuit-breaker).
Installation of the fixed part (Fig. 12) Attach the fixed part by means of the screws (1), washers (2) and nuts (3) (M8 x 16), supplied by ABB SACE. if other screws are used, make sure that the head of the screws does not extend more than 5.5 mm from the base of the fixed part.

Notes (*) For the E1-E2-E3 fixed parts, there are four fixing points, whereas...
5.1.2 Examples of positioning the connection busbars according to the types of terminals The connection busbars enable the connection between the terminals of the circuit-breakers and the busbars of the switchgear. Their sizing must be carefully studied by the switchgear designer. Some examples of possible constructions in relation to the shape and size of the circuit-breaker terminals are given in this paragraph.
5.1.3 Assembly procedure for the connection busbars Check the state of the contact surfaces of the connections very carefully: they must be very clean with no burrs, dents or traces of rust which must be eliminated using a fine file or an emery cloth to prevent localized increases in temperature. On completion of the operation, remove all traces of grease or dust with a cloth soaked in a suitable solvent.
5.3.2 Withdrawable circuit-breaker For connection of the moving part to the auxiliary circuits, a connection with sliding contacts is available on the fixed part (see figure), identified by code X on the electrical circuit diagram. The terminals of the fixed connector are immediately accessible when the compartment door is open. Furthermore a terminal box identified by code XF is available for connecting the position contacts of the moving part in relation to the fixed part.
Conversion of the auxiliary contacts or of the signalling contacts (disconnected - test isolated - connected), from normally closed (opening) to normally open (closing) or vice versa The contacts are wired at the factory as shown on the electrical circuit diagram. If it is necessary to change their state for installation requirements, proceed as follows.
Putting into service General procedures – Check tightness of the power connections at the circuit-breaker terminals – Carry out all the preparatory operations on the release – Make sure that the value of the auxiliary circuit power supply voltage is between 85 and 110% of the rated voltage of the electrical applications –...

Racking-in/out operation WARNING A) Open the circuit-breaker before carrying out any racking-in/out operation. B) The circuit-breaker (moving part) and fixed part are fitted with a lock which prevents the fixed part from being racked into the circuit-breakers with a different rated current: the congruence of the anti-racking-in lock must be checked by the operator before carrying out the racking- in operation to avoid any unnecessary stress.
b) Passing from the DISCONNECTED to the TEST ISOLATED position Make sure that the indicator (9) is in the DISCONNECTED position. For the connection procedure, make sure that the key (12) is in the correct position and/or the padlock (14), if any, has been removed. Make sure that the circuit-breaker is open.

10. Accessories 10.1 Electrical accessories Shunt opening/closing (YO/YC) and second shunt opening release (Y02) This allows remote opening or closing control of the apparatus. Given the characteristics of the circuit-breaker operating mechanism, opening (with the circuit-breaker closed) is always possible, whereas closing is only possible when the closing springs are loaded. Most of the releases can operate with either direct or alternating current.
Page 26
Time delay device for undervoltage release (D) The undervoltage release can be combined with an electronic time-delay device for installing outside the circuit-breaker, which enables a delay in the tripping of the release with preset, adjustable times. The use of the delayed undervoltage release is recommended when the power supply network of the release can be subject to power cuts or short-lived voltage drops, in order to avoid trips.
Page 27
Mechanical and electrical trip signalling for overcurrent releases The following signals are available following tripping of the overcurrent release: a) Mechanical trip signalling for overcurrent releases This enables a visual signalling on the operating mechanism by pushing the trip pushbutton in when the circuit-breaker has been opened following tripping of an overcurrent release.
b ) Homopolar toroid for the power supply earthing conductor (star center of the transformer) PR122 and PR123 microprocessor-based electronic releases may be used in combination with an external toroid located on the conductor, which connects the star center of the MV/LV transformer (homopolar transformer) to earth: in this case, the earth protection is defined as Source Ground Return.
For the change over, the customer can use a suitable electronic relay, whose diagram is supplied by ABB SACE. The mechanical interlocks between two or three circuit-breakers are made by means of cables that can be used for circuit-breakers installed, either side-by-side or one over the other.
11. Protection releases - General notes Emax, the range of ABB air circuit-breakers, now has a new range of electronic relays. These are called PR121, PR122 and PR123, and they substitute the previous range PR111, PR112 and PR113. The new protection releases integrate all the functions of their predecessors, adding new and interesting technical features that are useful for satisfying every current and future system installation need.
Voltage Sensor (see also VT) 11.2.2 Notes A. Use the “Belden 3105A”- type two-wire cable for instance (not supplied by ABB SACE). B. Use the “Belden 3106A”- type three-wire cable for instance (not supplied by ABB SACE). C. The unit has a “backup-protection” function; if the first command to the opening solenoid does not open immediately the circuit-breaker (TC partially fault), TRIP commands are repeatedly sent until the circuit-breaker opens (providing a Vaux is present) or the current disappears (if self-power supplied).
12.2.1 General The PR121/P unit is a high-performance self-supplied protection unit with Protection functions for the ABB SACE 'Emax' range of 3-pole and 4- pole low voltage air circuit-breakers. The unit's user interface also enables parameter setup and complete pre-alarm and alarm management with LED warning/alarm indicators for the protection and watchdog functions.
The presence of the auxiliary power supply enables the relay unit to be used even with the circuit-breaker open. The characteristics of the power pack are given in the table below.

12.3 Other functions 12.3.1 Indication of the cause of the trip and trip test button Using the "i Test" button, you can retrieve the information stored in the past 48 hours. You can also perform a trip test by pressing and holding the button for 7 seconds and an Autotest by pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds, again with the PR030/B battery unit connected and no current flowing through.
(see Watchdog). To be able to do the test, you need to connect the PR030/B battery unit. 12.5.2 Initial settings ABB SACE will see to applying the adhesive labels on the PR121/P for all the variables relating to the circuit-breaker (e.g. Type of circuit-breaker, Rating Plug size, etc.).
1 2 . 5 . 4 PR121/P default settings The PR121/P is supplied by ABB SACE with the following preset parameters: Protection Thresholds Time 1 In 144 s 0.1 s 4 In 0.1 s Mains frequency 50 Hz Neutral sel.
12.7 Definition of the alarms and signals for the PR121/P unit 12.7.1 Optical signals The following table shows how the LEDs are managed in accordance with the IEC standard 60073 (and clause 4.2.3.2 in particular). The LED alerts you to the status of the function set on its zone; e.g. in the figure in par. 12.5 the LED referenced as 1 identifies the status of the function L.
Using the BT030 wireless communication unit, the PR121/P can be connected by radio to a hand-held PC (PDA) or normal PC, thus extending the amount of information available to the user. In fact, using the SD-Pocket communication software by ABB SACE, you can read the values of the currents flowing through the circuit-breaker, the value of the last 20 currents broken and the protection settings.
The PR122/P is a high-performance self-supplied protection unit with Protection, Measurement, Data storage, Communication (optional), Self-test, Load control and Zone selectivity functions for the ABB SACE 'Emax' range of 3- and 4-pole low-voltage air circuit-breakers. The unit's user interface also enables parameter setup and complete the prealarm and alarm management for the protection and watchdog functions.
With the optional PR120/V module, the PR122/P also assures the following protections: Symbol Protection against undervoltage overvoltage residual voltage reverse active power underfrequency overfrequency phase-to-phase voltage unbalance (as an alternative to phase currents) 13.2.2 Electrical characteristics Rated operating frequency 50/60 Hz ±10% Pass band 3000 Hz max Peak factor...
Protection against instantaneous short-circuit“I”; Protection against closing on short-circuit “MCR”; Protection against earth fault with adjustable delay “G”; Protection against instantaneous short-circuit at high currents "Iinst"; Protection against phase unbalance “U”; Protection against overtemperature “OT”. The PR122/P unit allows current signal processing of the neutral pole with different relationships relative to the value of the phases. N.B.: Beyond 15.5xIn of current on the Ne, the protection is considered as being set to 100%.
Page 46
1 3 . 2 . 9 Description of the protection functions 13.2.9.1 Protection “L” The "L" is the only protection that cannot be disabled because it is for self-protection against overloading of the relay itself. The types of trip curves settable are divided into two groups according to the standard they refer to.
13.2.9.2.3 Zone selectivity “S” The zone selectivity function, guaranteed only if an auxiliary voltage is provided, enables the area of the fault to be isolated, only isolating the part of plant nearest to the fault, while keeping the rest of the plant operational. This is done by connecting all the zone selectivity outputs of the releases belonging to the same zone to one another (ZSO=K51/SZout) and taking this signal to the zone selectivity input (ZSI=K51/SZin) of the next release on the supply side.
The PR122/P unit can provide two different types of earth fault protection as an alternative: Internal protection G This is provided inside the relay by vectorially summing the phase and neutral currents. The fault current is defined by the following formula: In the case when the circuit does not show any fault, the module of the sum of these currents is always nil;...
1 3 . 2 . 9 . 8 Load control function Single loads can be enabled/disabled on the load side before the overload protection L intervenes and trips the circuit-breaker on the supply side. This is done by contactors or switch-disconnectors (wired outside the release), controlled by the PR122/P by means of contacts on the PR120/ K module or on the PR021/K external unit.

14.2.9.2.3 Zone selectivity “S” The zone selectivity function, guaranteed only if an auxiliary voltage is provided, enables the area of the fault to be isolated, only isolating the part of plant nearest to the fault, while keeping the rest of the plant operational. This is done by connecting all the zone selectivity outputs of the releases belonging to the same zone to one another (ZSO=K51/SZout) and taking this signal to the zone selectivity input (ZSI=K51/SZin) of the next release on the supply side.
As a result, the currents in the circuit-breaker will be defined as "forward" or "backward" if their are in phase or out of phase with the previously- defined power flow (for the default setting, see par. 14.4.4). In short: Ifault (I Power flow set Power flow set →...
If the power flow is in phase with the direction set on the relay, the output DFout is enabled (1). Vice versa, if the power flow is out of phase, the output DBout is enabled (1). The typical configuration of the system of circuit-breakers for which the SdZ D is likely to be used is the sort of ring illustrated in the following figure.

N.B.: In the event of Warning and Alarm, the display is momentarily turned off, to preserve its functionality. The monitored temperature is not visible on the display. The protection is always active, both with auxiliary supply and in self-powering. Disabling the Trip control of the protection means that the PR123/P unit could work, with the circuit-breaker closed, in a range of temperatures where correct operation of the electronics is not guaranteed.
1 4 . 2 . 9 . 1 4 Double protections setting Using the double protections setting, the PR123/P can save a set of alternative parameters for all the protections. The second set of parameters (set B) can replace the default set (set A) by means of an external command. The passage from set A to set B can be made when there is a change in the mains configuration or when there is an emergency capable of changing the load capacity and the short-circuit levels.

These functions are not limited to the ABB SACE devices: any apparatus using the Modbus RTU standard protocol is recorded and tested. For the ABB SACE circuit-breakers with an electronic release, the software provides a vast range of additional functions, for checking the wiring, setting opening, closing or reset commands, and reading diagnostic information.
16.4 Data logger (recorder) The data logger function is available on the PR122/P and PR123/P units and it can be used to save the instantaneous values of certain analog and digital measurements automatically in a large-sized memory buffer. The data can easily be downloaded from the unit using either the SD-Pocket application with a Bluetooth port, or the SD-TestBus application via a Modbus bus, and transferred to any personal computer for processing.
If you select "None" for the stop event, the data logger can be stopped only by a stop command from the operator panel, from the system or following a trip generated by the relay. 16.4.2.4 Setting and viewing customized stop events (triggers) From the system, you can set customized stop events (triggers) to coincide with the events shown in paragraph 16.5.
Maximum recording time is established by the sampling frequency set only, as described in the table in paragraph 16.4.2.2; recording time may be lower than maximum time attainable when the sum of stopping delay and time elapsing between a restart trigger and a trigger is lower than the maximum value, as described in the figure below: Recording time Stopping delay...
