I2t and I4t characteristic curve for overload protection
Example of configuration for ETU45B
The best protection for the whole switchgear is achieved by set-
ting the tripping characteristic curve to an optimum value. In or-
der to achieve optimal discrimination for upstream fuses or me-
dium voltage protection systems, the inclination of the
characteristic curve can be selected for the overload range.
The overload protection L (long time protection) for the solid-
state releases ETU45B and ETU76B allows the characteristic
curve to be switched between I2t and I4t.
The I4t characteristic improves discrimination for downstream
circuit breakers and fuses.

Modularity has also been strictly emphasized during the deve-
lopment of the solid-state releases. These are some of the
modules which can be easily retrofitted at any time:

In the case of quick changes of power supply conditions,
e. g. for switchovers from transformer to generator operation or
if a section of the supply is disconnected when the shift
changes, SENTRON 3WL allows the relevant protection parame-
ters to be quickly adapted to the new conditions.
The ETUs contain two independent tripping characteristic cur-
ves (parameter sets). The switchover is completed within
200 ms and is performed with the help of an external signal.

CubicleBUS modules
Digital output modules with rotary coding switch
6 items of binary information concerning the state of the circuit
breaker (reasons for tripping and warnings) can be output via
this module to external signaling devices (e. g. LED, horn) or be
used for the selective shut-down of other system components
(e. g. frequency converters).
Digital output modules are available in versions with and without
a rotary coding switch. On modules with a rotary coding switch
it is possible to choose between two signaling blocks each with
6 defined assignments and to set an additional response delay. Analog output module
All the digital output modules are available as a version with re- Digital input modules
lay outputs (CO contacts, up to 12 A). Up to two modules of this With the digital input module, up to 6 additional binary signals
type can be connected to one SENTRON 3WL. (24 V DC) in the circuit breaker environment can be connected
to the system. It is thus possible for example to send messages
concerning the state of a switch disconnector or a control cabi-
net door to the PROFIBUS DP/MODBUS.
With the digital input module on the CubicleBUS it is also pos-
sible for the two different protection parameter sets held in the
ETU76B solid-state releases to be switched over automatically in
a few milliseconds. It is thus possible, for example, to automati-
cally change the parameters of a coupling switch should the
transformer infeed fail.
One module each of this type can be used for holding the six
items of digital information and for automatically switching over
Digital output module with rotary coding switch the parameters.
Digital output modules, configurable
The configurable output module is available for higher-perfor-
mance solutions. With this module, random events on the
CubicleBUS can be switched directly to one of six available out-
puts or three of these outputs can be assigned with up to six
events. In other words, up to six events can be placed on one
physical output with OR operation. Either BDA/BDA Plus or
Switch ES Power is used for configuring.
A relay variant is also available here the same as for the output
modules with rotary coding switch. Only one module of this type
is possible per SENTRON 3WL.
ZSI modules (short-time grading control)
The use of ZSI modules is recommended when Siemens circuit
breakers are arranged in several staggered levels but full gra-
ding with the smallest possible delay is to be assured neverthe-
less.
The circuit breakers are interconnected by these modules. In
case of a short-circuit, each affected circuit breaker asks the cir-
cuit breakers directly downstream whether the short-circuit has
also occurred in the next, lower level. The short-circuit is exactly
localized as the result, and only the next upstream circuit brea-
Digital output module, configurable ker in the energy flow direction is switched off.
Analog output modules
The analog output module can be used to output the following
measured values to analog indicators in the control cabinet
door:
IL1, IL2, IL3, IN or
UL12, UL23, UL31, UL1N or
PL1, PL2, PL3, Stot or
p.f.1 , p.f.2 , p.f.3, I % or
favg, ULLavg, Ptot, p.f.avg
Four 4-20-mA/0-10-V interfaces are available for this. The
measured values to be output are selected with a rotary coding
switch. By using the analog output module it is possible to do ZSI module (short-time grading control)
without additional converters and their conventional installa-
tion/wiring in the main current path. Up to two modules of this
type can be connected to one SENTRON 3WL.

The characteristic curves show the behavior of the solid-state re- 10

fore the tripping operation. If the overcurrent tripping occurs im-
mediately after switch on and the solid-state release is therefore 1 i min i max
