About this deal

For non-residential properties that do not fit into these categories, a risk assessment must be carried out, a process that has also been simplified in the 18 th edition, detailed in section 443.4 of the IET Wiring Regulations. Where this risk assessment is not conducted, the regulations require that surge protection is implemented. Types of Surge Protection IF you put in the maximum breaking time of 10ms you will come up with a very large minimum cable requirement,and may well (incorrectly) conclude the cable is not protected. Before delving into the detail of this change, as ever it pays to start at the beginning – namely the Fundamental Principles of Part 1. So the Zs calculation formula for a 0.1s to 5s disconnection time for a BS EN 60898 MCB or BS 3871 to calculate the maximum Zs would be:

The person introducing a modification/alteration becomes the original manufacturer with the corresponding obligations for that assembly. Now I’ll set up a nifty little tool; a special transformer that lets me produce output of arbitrary phase angle. The output is still 277V RMS relative to our zero reference, but I can shift its phase relative to phase A. Lets call the output of this transformer ‘phase W’. I adjust phase W so that it is very slightly delayed from phase A, and graph the two phases. The reference calibration temperature for types B, C or D shallbe 30 'C and for types 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 shall be either The correction factor is 0.8, this 0.8 correction factor is to allow for the rise in temperature under fault conditions. For this reason, while fuses can be cascaded, and if the thin one blows, the fatter one behind it will not, for all values of fault currrent, for MCBs no such statement can be made. Indeed it is common to find a random selection of breakers open under fault, and for really high current faults the fuse at the origin fails instead.So now we have the two important facts: voltage is measured between two points, and an AC voltage is an average over time. At time zero, phase A is zero, but phase W is negative, say by a couple of volts. Then at time 1/240 phase A is at its positive peak, but phase W is slightly below. A teensy bit later, phase A is on its way down, and phase W hits its peak. And so on through the cycle. Both phases have the same amplitude, but hit their peaks at different times. There is usually a slightly different voltage between the two, but since sometimes A is more positive and sometimes W is more positive, the two graphs _must_ cross. Make a graph of the difference between A and W, and you will find out that it is a sine wave with low amplitude. In fact, it is a law of mathematics that the sum or difference of two sine waves of the same frequency (but possibly different amplitudes or phases) is another sine wave of the same frequency, again with different frequency or phase. Now, imagine that I start delaying phase W more and more. As I do so, it gets more and more different from phase A. The sine wave that is the difference between phase A and phase W gets larger and larger. Eventually this resultant sine wave is actually _greater_ than phase A. This difference sine wave reaches its peak when phase W is exactly 1/2 cycle from phase A, meaning that the +peak of A corresponds to the -peak of W. At this point, the amplitude of the _difference_ between the two phases is twice the amplitude of each phase alone. This is to say that if phase A is 277V relative to neutral, and phase W is 277V relative to neutral, and 180degrees out of phase with phase A, then the voltage A to W is 534V. Max Zs is the maximum permissible values of earth fault loop impedance (Ω), some maximum Zs values are listed in BS 7671, the maximum earth loop impedance values listed in the Zs tables are used to compare against the actual measured earth loop impedance values to ensure compliance with BS 7671.

is the old British standard for MCB's so BS 3871 does not tell anyone what type of MCB it is. I looked at http://www.beamainstallation.org.uk/assets/pdfs/CircuitBreaker.pdf which explains how the standards evolved. A Type 2 device offers protection against over-voltages from switching and indirect lightning strikes. This type more commonly uses a metal oxide varistor (MOV) to divert the current away. Type 3 Step 1 is to remember that voltage is _always_ measured between two points. So when you say that a particular circuit is 277/480V wye, you provide the following information: Measured phase to phase the voltage is 480V. Measured phase to neutral the voltage is 277V. The source is wye connected, eg. a transformer bank with 277V secondaries.Additionally, any commercial, industrial, or public building that is supplied by overhead lines requires surge protection – so the majority of buildings will require surge protection. Residential properties will depend on use and occupancy levels. should be taken as soon as possible to improve the safety of the installation." would be appropriate but maybe your not talking about the LoadMaster When purchasing a consumer unit or distribution board, the manufacturer’s instructions will state which devices can be used in the unit – and don’t forget according to BS 7671 (regulation 510.3) there is an obligation on designers and installers to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when selecting and erecting equipment. Cor 40 O C , lhe purpose of the latter value being to avoid the necessity of de-rating thermaiiy sensitive circuit- That just because individual components conform to their respective product standards and are UKCA marked, it does not indicate their compatibility for integration into an assembly.

Section 536 is about ensuring (amongst other aspects) that the performance of devices for protection against faults and overloads are coordinated so that the effectiveness of the operation of individual items of equipment, under both normal and abnormal operating conditions, does not impair the safety or proper functioning of the installation. It includes, for example, the set of regulations that provides requirements for selectivity of protective devices for residual currents, overloads and short-circuits. One of the more common types of BS 3871 circuit breaker found on installations is the Crabtree C50 which was produced in single phase and 3 phase versions. These are all Type 2 circuit breakers and their fault current rating can be determined by the infill paint in the operating handle. White paint infill indicates a 3kA rating and yellow paint indicates a 4.5kA rating.So now consider phase A in our 277/480V wye system. We can plot the voltage relative to our earth reference as a function of time, and get a graph, ideally a nice sine curve. At time zero the voltage will be zero. At 1/240 of a second, the voltage will be +392V (277V * 1.414, the square root of 2). Then at 2/240 second the voltage will again be zero. At 3/240 of a second the voltage will be -392V, and at 4/240 second (1/60 second) the voltage will again be zero. This cycle will repeat. If devices from different manufacturers are used together, the venting characteristics may not be coordinated which could result in significant further damage to adjacent devices or other parts of the distribution board. If you are looking for a reason to scrap the existing, then absence of that data is as good a reason as any Now for something nifty: the _instantaneous_ voltages between points must always add up. If I measure 5V (DC) from A to B, and 6V (DC) from B to C then I will get 11V from A to B. If I measure 5V from X to Y and 6V from X to Z, then I will measure 1V from Y to Z. Finally , if I measure 5V from A to B, I will measure -5V from B to A. But this is all DC, or instantaneous voltage.
