Communication-capable Circuit Breakers
WL Circuit Breaker
External power consumption of a WL Circuit Breaker with CubicleBUS
WL Circuit Breakers with
CubicleBUS are designed to
provide internal and external
communication when the main
contacts are open. It is therefore
necessary to connect an
external power supply.
General information
The current sensing devices of WL
Circuit Breakers consist of two
components. The Rogowski coils
deliver the current measuring
values, and the energy converters
provide the trip units with power.
For breakers without an additional
external supply, the trip units are

already activated and monitor the
current at minimum values of 80A
for Frame Size II, and 150A for
Frame Size III.
The current from the sensors are
sufficient to not only activate the
protective functions of the ETU745
or ETU748 trip units, but also to
activate the display, however, the
back-lighting requires an external
power supply. If the CubicleBUS has
been connected to a UL Listed 24V
DC class 2 power supply, the display
is fed with energy from this supply.
The display of the ETU776 only
functions when an external
CubicleBUS power supply has been
connected. The protective functions
are fully operational when primary
current is flowing even though the
display is not active.

If additional CubicleBUS components
are applied on a WL Circuit Breaker,
the breaker must be connected to
an external UL Listed 24V DC class
2 power supply.
The CubicleBUS consists of four
wires, two for the communications
and two for the UL Listed 24V DC
class 2 power supply. The
CubicleBUS is connected to the
external terminal X8.1 to X8.4.
