Masterpact circuit breakers are the product

of Merlin Gerins vast experience in the field
of power circuit breakers. They incorporate
all the qualities of traditional air circuit
breakers while drawing on certain of the
advantages specific to moulded-case circuit
breakers. In particular, they require no
preventive maintenance.
ease of installation
Masterpact is a complete and rationally
designed range.
c 10 ratings;
c 4 breaking-capacity levels;
c 6 control units;
c a complete range of auxiliaries and
accessories;
c numerous versions (three and four-pole
devices, fixed and drawout versions, etc.).
025179
2500 A Masterpact circuit breaker
Masterpact circuit breakers are easy to

incorporate in switchboards.
c a single frame size from 800 to 3200 A,
thus making for standardised columns;
c an upper safety clearance equal to zero
due to the arc-chute cover, on both the fixed
and drawout versions;
c built-in measurement functions in the
control units;
c auxiliaries are the same for the entire
range and may be easily implemented (only
a screwdriver is required).
Top: front connection

Bottom: rear vertical connection
Masterpact circuit breakers are easy to

connect to the main distribution system.
c all types of connections are available
(horizontal and vertical terminals, front and
mixed connections);
c connections are possible with bars of any
thickness;
c connection to the input power source is
possible on the upper or lower terminals of
the circuit breakers.
Due to their small size, Masterpact circuit
breakers can replace most existing
circuit breakers.
continuity of service
Masterpact circuit breakers are designed
with continuity of service in mind. The
result is:
c total time discrimination on the N1 and H1
circuit breakers and maximum discrimination
on H2 circuit breakers;
c factory pre-setting of Masterpact circuit
breakers which never require any periodic
maintenance;
c high electrical endurance: 10 000 cycles at
1600 A and 30 cycles at 50 kA, without
maintenance;
c preventive indications: load-shedding
indication switch, long-time threshold
overrun alarm, etc.;
c easy access to the main contacts fitted
with mechanical wear indicators. An optional
function on the STR68 control unit is the
remote indication of contact wear, thus
making possible continuous monitoring of
circuit breakers during their service life.
,
036634
operating safety
The insulating casing of Masterpact
circuit breakers provides for:
c user safety:
v double insulation on the front face
(class II),
v auxiliary circuits in a compartment
insulated from the power circuits;
c switchboard safety when the circuit
breaker is in the open position:
v each pole is effectively isolated in its own
housing,
v limitation of external disturbances.
Positive contact indication
The position indicator cannot indicate
open unless the poles are effectively
separated by the required distance.
The circuit breakers automatically open
during racking in and out.
reliability
c Masterpact circuit breakers comprise ten
times fewer parts than traditional devices.
They are easier to produce and more
reliable.
c the Masterpact circuit-breaker factory is
certified ISO 9002;
c the design of Masterpact circuit breakers
is modular with delayed differentiation
(highest possible number of common parts
on all models). The result is shorter delivery
times and enhanced reliability.

IEC 947-2
Masterpact circuit breakers comply with all

the major international standards:
c International standard IEC 947-2;
c North American standards (please consult
us):
UL 489, ANSI C37-50, CSA C22-2,
NEMA AB1 et SG3;
c Japanese standards: JIS 160 and C 8372.
They also comply with the following national
standards:
c France NF C 63-120;
c Germany VDE 0660;
c United Kingdom BS 4752;
c Australia AS ;
c Italy CEI.
Masterpact circuit breakers comply with the
specifications of the marine classification
companies (Veritas, Lloyd's Register of
Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, etc.).
Standardised characteristics indicated on

the rating plate:
Ui: rated insulation voltage
Ue: rated operational voltage
Icu: ultimate breaking capacity, for various
values of the rated operational voltage Ue
Ics: service breaking capacity
Icw: short-time withstand current
: suitable for isolation
IEC 947-2
This standard replaces IEC 157-1,
applicable since 1973.
The circuit breaker selection criteria are
unchanged, but the new standard provides
the user with a better guarantee concerning
quality and performance.
Circuit breakers are subjected to tests that
are more representative of real operating
conditions.
IEC 947-2 also clarifies the notion of
breaking capacity.
c Icu : the ultimate breaking capacity, which
must be greater than or equal to the 3-phase
short-circuit current at the point of
installation of the circuit breaker, a value
unlikely to be reached under real conditions;
c Ics : the service breaking capacity,
generally expressed as a percentage of the
ultimate breaking capacity (25, 50, 75 or
100 % of Icu). It corresponds to a shortcircuit current that is more likely to be
reached under real conditions. The circuit
breaker must continue to operate normally
after having interrupted a current equal to
Ics several times;
c Icw : short-time withstand current for
circuit breakers belonging to category B
(category B refers to circuit breakers with
time discrimination and category A to those
without time discrimination).
Furthermore, IEC 947-2 takes into account
recent technological advances:
c suitability for isolation recognised for
circuit breakers having passed special
electrical and mechanical tests;
c industrial earth-fault circuit breakers
covered by an appendix;
c definition of tests designed to ensure
coordination between two circuit breakers.
tropicalisation
As standard, Masterpact circuit breakers
comply with NF C 63-100 standard level 2
conditions (95 % relative humidity at 45 C
or 80 % at 55 C, hot and humid climate
conditions). They also comply with the
following standards:
c IEC 68-2-30 damp heat;
c IEC 68-2-2 dry heat;
c IEC 68-2-11 salt spray;
c IEC 68-2-1 low temperatures during
storage.
Corrosive atmospheres: Special grease or
other surface coatings available (please
consult us).
pollution degree
Masterpact circuit breakers are certified for
operation in pollution degree IV
environments as defined by
IEC standard 947 (industrial environments).

positive contact indication
All Masterpact circuit breakers are also

disconnectors (suitable for isolation) as
specified by IEC 947-2. They bear the
corresponding symbol on the front cover:
All Masterpact circuit breakers offer positive

contact indication. The toggle position
rigorously reflects the position of the main
contacts. It can indicate the "OFF" position
only if the contacts are effectively open and
a suitable distance apart.
E18569
035932RC
maximum dependability
This characteristic considerably increases

the dependability of the circuit breaker.
The conditions specified by IEC 947-2 for
this function are:
c positive contact indication;
c impulse withstand: 8 kV at sea level;
c very low leakage current, checked on new
circuit breakers and on circuit breakers
subjected to tests representative of the end
of service life.
Moreover Masterpact circuit breakers have a
double-insulation front face (i.e. a class II
device) allowing control from the outside.
installation
Masterpact circuit breakers may be installed
on horizontal metal surfaces or on rails.
They are secured by four points accessible
at the bottom of the chassis (drawout
versions) or on either side of the circuit
breaker (fixed versions). A single door
cut-out is required for the entire range and
provides access to Masterpact controls
(see the description on page 2).

"earth fault" protection

(T or W)
E31225
zone selective interlocking

(Z)
A number of circuit breakers are

interconnected one after another by a pilotwire. In the event of a short-time or earth
fault, the control unit applies the set time
delay only if it receives a signal from a
downstream circuit breaker. If not, it trips
instantaneously (tripping time as 0.1 shorttime setting). In this way, the fault is cleared
rapidly by the nearest circuit breaker. The
thermal stresses in the installation are
minimised while maintaining time
discrimination throughout the entire
installation.
Opto-electronic outputs
The use of opto-transistors ensures total
isolation between the internal circuits of the
control unit and the circuits wired by the
user.
This earth fault protection is designed to

protect the installation against the risks of
fire due to high earth faults (not to be
confused with schemes designed for the
protection of persons against electrical
shock).
Two types of earth protection are available
for Masterpact:
c residual current type (T): the control unit
calculates the vector sum of the phase and
neutral (if distributed) currents;
c source ground return type (W): the control
unit acts directly on the signal received from
an external current transformer installed on
the source earthing circuit.

continuously indicates the current of the
phase with the greatest load (Imax). By
pressing a scroll button, it is also possible to

In addition, three bargraphs provide an
immediate visual indication of the load on
each of the three phases.

releases
Two types of voltage releases can be used
for remote opening of Masterpact circuit
breakers.
Undervoltage releases
c instantaneous (MN)
This release instantaneously opens the
breaker when its supply voltage drops below
a value between 35 % and 70 % of its rated
voltage.
If the release is not energised, the breaker
cannot be closed (either manually of
electrically). Any attempt to close will have
no effect on the main contacts.
Closing is possible when the release voltage
reaches 85 % of its rated value.
c time delayed (MNR)
To prevent the breaker tripping in the event
of transient voltage dips, this release has a
built-in time delay.
A special version, available on request,
allows instantaneous tripping (from a
mushroom-head emergency off button) by
the wiring of an external contact.
closing release (XF)

This device releases the breaker closing
mechanism when the spring is charged.
Energisation can be maintained, as the
closing release provides an antipumping
function.

Note: anti-pumping function:

After the breaker has been opened, either by

controller option selection (cont.)
controller UA
E30183
053059
Controller UA can be used with Masterpact

circuit breakers to implement a sourcechangeover system offering the following
automatic functions:
c switching from one source to another
depending on the presence of voltage UN
on the "Normal" source;
c control of an engine generating set;
c shedding and reconnection of non-priority
circuits;
c switching to the "Replacement" source in
the event of a failure on one of the phases of
the "Normal" source.
Electrical characteristics
Power is supplied from the auxiliaries control
plate ACP. The same voltage must be used
to supply the ACP plate, the IVE unit and the
circuit breaker motor mechanisms. If this
voltage is the same as the source voltage,
the "Normal" and "Replacement" sources
can be used directly for the power supply. If
not, a BC type or equivalent isolation
transformer must be used.
Control voltages
c 220 to 240 V 50/60 Hz;
c 380 to 415 V 50/60 Hz - 440 V 60 Hz.
Operation
c a four-position switch can be used to
select:
v automatic operation;
v forced operation on source N;
v forced operation on source R;
v stop (circuit breakers open and manual
operation);
c adjustment of time delays in front:
v t5 from 60 to 600 seconds;
c circuit breaker status indication on the
front of the controller: on, off, fault trip;
c test button on the front of the controller
to check the transfer from the Normal
source to the "Replacement" source and the
return to the "Normal" source;
c integrated terminal block for connection of

the following signals:
v inputs:
order for voluntary transfer to source R
(e.g. energy management commands),
supplementary control contact: (not
carried out by the controller). Transfer to
"Replacement" source only if contact closed
(ex: UR frequency control),
v outputs:
control of engine generator set,
load shedding of non-priority circuits,
indication of operation in automatic mode;
c 3 switches provide the following functions:
v selection of the type of "Normal" source,
i.e. single-phase or three-phase;
v enable or disable voluntary energy
management transfer if the "Replacement"
source is not operational;
v selection of the maximum tolerated
starting time for the engine generator set
("Replacement" source): 120 s or 180 s.
Batibus option for controller UA

A communication function can be used to
check the following from a remote location:
c status of the circuit breakers (open,
closed or fault trip);
c voltage presence on the Normal and
Replacement sources;
c presence of an order forcing operation on
the Replacement source (e.g. for energy
management purposes);
c values of settings and configurations,
c status of the non-priority circuits (whether
subject to load shedding or not).
In automatic mode, this communications

option also offers the possibility of remote
forced operation on the Replacement
source.

Masterpact: installation and connection
safety clearance
Certain distances must be maintained

between a circuit breaker and other
elements such as panels, bars and other
circuit breakers. Taken together, these
distances form the safety clearance for the
circuit breaker. The diagrams and the table
below indicate the required distances when
installing Masterpact circuit breakers.
These distances are the results of tests

carried out in accordance with standard
IEC 947-2 and are in part determined by the
ultimate breaking capacities.

power supply

power supply for control

units and complementary
functions
(3)
All the protection functions of the control unit

are powered by current sensors built into the
circuit breaker.
However power must be supplied:
c to terminals F1 and F2 for the indication
and display functions:
v if the device has a low 3-phase load (less
than 20% of the rated current) or a singlephase load,
v if display and indications are required
when the circuit breaker is off;
c to terminals F11 and F12 for the M
modules.
(1) Provided cable: length 1.5 m (connected to

chassis).
(2) Available supply sources:
24-48 V DC, 125 V DC, 100-240 V AC.
(3) Backup power for trip unit information with BAT
module (remove jumpers).
(4) Provided cable.
(5) Voltage connection (load side shown, line side
also available). 3 or 4 poles available.
(6) JBUS, RS 485-9600 baud network.
(7) MR6 module wiring.
To ensure proper isolation of the circuits,

two separate power supplies are required.
They can be implemented as follows:
c for terminals F1 and F2:
v by direct supply of AC current (specify the
required voltage when ordering: 100, 220,
380 V 50/60 Hz),
v or by an AD module, with or without BAT
(1 AD for each STR68),
v or by direct supply of 24 V DC current (5
W, Class 2 insulation, < 10% ripple);
c for terminals F11 and F12:
v by another AD module (1 AD for each
STR68, in addition to the modules supplying
terminals F1 and F2),
v or by direct supply of 24 V DC current,
isolated from the circuit supplying terminals
F1 and F2 (5 W, Class 2 insulation, < 10%
ripple).

fuses that discriminate with respect to the
protection devices on the automatic control
circuits to avoid disturbing the operation of
the source-changeover system.

Version represented: With lockout after a

fault.
If lockout after a fault is not required, contact
PF of the Normal breaker must be
connected directly in series with auxiliary
switch OF of the Replacement breaker
and vice versa, without passing through the
switch SDE.
The indication circuits, represented on the

diagram by broken lines, are optional.
Accessories such as voltage relays,
indicating lights and fuses are not supplied
with the circuit breaker.
