Portfolio of 3WL10 air circuit breakers

The 3WL10 air circuit breaker is part of the Siemens 3WL range, which covers all breaking
capacity classes between B and C and extends to 630 to 6300 A in the basic versions.

Frame size and breaking capacity classes
The 3WL10 air circuit breaker has size 0 and is suitable for:
● Rated currents between 630 A and 1250 A
● Rated voltages up to 690 V
● Breaking capacity I
Selective response
With its contact system, the 3WL10 air circuit breaker is designed for time-selective time-
delayed tripping.
● A short-circuit-induced trip can be delayed for up to 400 ms (short-time-delayed short-
circuit protection ST).
● Between these, you have extensive possibilities for fine adjustment of the values, in
respect of current response thresholds, delay times and for switching between
characteristics, such as fixed delay time and inverse-time I²t characteristic
● For maximum requirements, the instantaneous short-circuit protection (INST) can
additionally be disabled to temporarily deactivate or increase the current response
threshold of the short-circuit protection ST up to the I
utilizable time and current limit has been exceeded, the circuit breaker instantaneously
trips within 10 ms and interrupts the overcurrent within 30 ms.
These settings give downstream devices time to clear the fault in the feeder affected (time-
selective response, thus ensuring maximum availability in the outgoing feeders).
On the other hand, a system can be protected specifically by optimization of the circuit
breaker for fast response. In this case, it clears a lower-level fault within 30 ms, irrespective
of any selective response.
