Product Information

However if we calculate it we get a higher permissible Zs while still being in compliance with BS7671 411. In other words – in the final distribution electrical switchboards of buildings in which the nominal current does not exceed 125A. For a TT system we assume most of the volt drop is in the earth path, not the live, so the voltage from faulty kit to earth is more like 200V plus, so the maximum safe exposure time is reduced. For example, the BS EN 60898-1 standard describes B, C and D operating curves with ratio to rated current. A frequent enquiry Stroma Certification receives is regarding the maximum values of earth loop impedance (Z s) for legacy circuit breakers manufactured to BS 3871.

Don't worry though, you'll be sent straight back to the community after completing the registration. Also, the requirements of this standard are adapted for non-technical users which is why limited technical information is printed in detail on CBs.

Manufacturers may also provide maximum Z s values for their MCBs and RCBOS which are for conductor operating temperatures of 70 o C.

Dear Sahad, it is normal having MCCB certified as per 947 in commercial/small commercial buildings with MCB’s certified as per 898. INDEED , THERE WILL BE CONFUSION HERE AS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THE IEC-60947 IS USED COMMONLY IN SPECIFYING LV SWITCHGEAR DESIGN AND IT’S COMPONENTS WHILE THE IEC-60898 IS NOT COMMONLY USED.does state that the permissible Zs can be calculated and in my opinion it is the best method to ensure that we are not failing Zs values that are still low enough to achieve the required disconnect time. I would like to know what have been the design and technological trend in low and medium current and high current miniature circuit breakers.

This allows for fluctuations in supply voltage and I a is the current that will cause the circuit breaker to operate in the required disconnection time.I cu is the maximum short-circuit current that the circuit- breaker can break without damage which might be 6,000 A or 10,000 A and in the case of MCCBs, 200,000 A for specific voltage ratings. Alternatively, the maximum Z s value can calculated using the time- current characteristic of the MCCB being used, as shown in Fig. The prospective fault current ratings of BS 3871 circuit breakers are indicated by the letter ‘M’ followed by a digit.
