T= ( 6Irl/I ) 2tL Delay accuracy: ± 10%
Among them, T is the action time value, Irl is the long delay protection setting value, I is the fault current, and tL is the long delay time setting value

short-circuit short delay protection
Short-circuit short time delay protection prevents the impedance short circuit of the power distribution system. The delay of trip is to realize the selective protection.

Automatic shift mode
In the automatic shift mode, the shift values and the floating values are:

Shift value (mA) 200 300 400 500
Floating value (mA) 100 150 200

When the residual current exceeds the floating value of the shift and fails to achieve its action value, and maintains stable for 60s, it will float up by one shift, and so on, until the maximum shift; When the residual current is less than the floating value of the next shift and remains stable for 120s, it will float down by one shift, and so on, until the minimum shift. Take the “automatic” shift, with the initial residual current of the line being 100mA, as example. The circuit breaker is energized and the shift setting is automatically fixed at 300mA. After the residual current increases to 150mA and above, and keep stable for 60s, the shift changes to 400mA; When the residual current decreases to 100mA and below, and keep stable for 120s, the shift changes to 200mA.

Automatic reclosing/locking
Automatic reclosing: After the residual current exceeds the action current value shift and gets tripped, it will be able to reconnect automatically after 20~60 seconds, but the manual closing is not time-limited.
Locking: The locking time is 5s, that is, when there is another leakage fault within 5s after the product reclosing, the circuit breaker can trip again and lock in the time of action, and it is necessary to manually close instead of automatically reclosing; When the product has a leakage failure outside 5s after the re-closing, the circuit breaker is tripped but not locked during the action time, and it can be automatically reclosed within 20~ 60 seconds.

Over-voltage protection function
When the line phase voltage is higher than the over-voltage protection setting value, the circuit breaker performs protective tripping. When the line voltage is restored to normal voltage, the circuit breaker can be automatically closed and put into operation. The setting value of over-voltage protection is 250V ~ 300V, and the factory value is set to 265V. Users can set or close the protection by themselves.

Under-voltage protection function
When the line phase voltage is lower than the under-voltage protection setting value, the circuit breaker performs protective tripping. When the line voltage is restored to normal voltage, the circuit breaker can be automatically closed and put into operation. The setting value of the under-voltage protection is 150V~200V, the factory setting value is 165V. Users can set or close the protection by themselves.

Phase loss protection function
When there is a phase loss on the line power supply terminal, the circuit breaker performs protective tripping. When the line is restored to normal voltage, it can be automatically closed and put into operation. The factory default setting is closing.

Linkage protection function
Through the linkage interface, it can be linked with other fire protection equipment for linkage protection, specifically as follows:

Product installation

Product installation notes

  • Please check whether the product specifications are correct and the accessories are complete before installation;
  • Please read the instructions for use carefully, to ensure proper installation and daily maintenance;
  • Products must be installed vertically;
  • According to the product rated current and relevant criteria, select the appropriate wire and connect in strict accordance with the provisions of wiring.

The upper part is the power supply terminal, in which 1, 3 and 5 are respectively connected with phases A, B, C, and N is connected with zero line. The lower part is the load terminal, in which 2, 4 and 6 are respectively connected with phases A, B, C, and N is connected with zero line;

  • The cross-sectional area of incoming and outgoing lines shall meet the construction requirements as specified in the standard, and the conductive part shall not be exposed beyond the shell;
  • Install the arc plate correctly after wiring is completed;
  • Install in places where non-electrician and minors are not accessible, to prevent electric shock or changes to the correct configuration and wiring of the product;

Operation of LCD products
The circuit breaker is equipped with a test power-up function upon power-on (which can be turned off), which can effectively guarantee safety of the follow-up equipment.

Product commissioning
After the wiring is complete and correct through check, energize the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is in a disconnected state, set the parameters according to the operation instructions. After the setting is complete, perform the closing operation. The running states are shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
In the closing condition, press [test trip] key to carry on the residual current test trip, and perform reclosing within 20S-60S.

Closing operation of the circuit breaker

  1. Automatic closing
    Press [closing] key for 2 seconds, and LCD will display “during closing..”. After the closing, the state of the LCD screen appears as “closing operation”, and the circuit breaker enters the normal operation state.

  2. Manual closing

  3. Use the attached manual wrench, insert it into the hole, and rotate clockwise by around 360°. After the success of closing, the state of the LCD screen is automatically updated as “closing operation”, and the circuit breaker enters the normal operation state.
    Note: Manual switching can be performed when the circuit breaker’s main contact is disconnected. The closing operation is shown in the above Method 2. Pay attention to the safety of load equipment and personnel during manual closing.

Disconnection operation of circuit breakers

  1. In the running state, press the [opening] key. After the successful opening, the state of the LCD screen is shown as “opening standby”.
  2. If manual opening is needed, use wrench, insert it into the hole, and rotate clockwise by around 180°. After the successful opening, the state opening/closing is shown as “opening”.

Operation of digital tube products

The circuit breaker is provided with the switch-on trail power function (which can be turned off), which can effectively prevent the safety of the follow-up equipment. See the setting code table for specific operation.

Test run of products
After the connection is finished, the circuit breaker will be electrified after being checked to be free of errors. The circuit breaker is in segment status, and the parameters are set according to the operation instructions. After the setting is completed, the closing operation is performed. During the closing, the closing indicator light flashes, which is always on after the closing is completed.
In the closing state, press [trial trip] key for residual current trial trip, in which reclosing can be repeated within 20s to 60s.

Closing operation of circuit breaker

  1. Automatic closing
    Long press the [close] key for 2 seconds. The closing indicator light flashes, which is always on after the closing, and when the closing and opening indication is “close”, the circuit breaker enters the normal operation status.

  2. Manual closing
    Insert the manual wrench mentioned in the annex in the hole and turn clockwise about 360°. After the closing is successful, the closing indicator light is always on, the closing indication is “closed” and the circuit breaker enters the normal operation status.

Note: when the main contact of the circuit breaker is disconnected, the manual closing can be carried out. See mode 2 above for closing operation. Pay attention to the safety of the load equipment and personnel during manual closing.

Disconnection operation of circuit breaker

  1. Under the operation state, press the [open] key. After the opening is successful, the closing indicator lights are off and the closing and opening indications are “open”.
  2. If manual opening is required, insert a wrench into the hole and turn it clockwise 180 °. After the opening is successful, the opening and closing indications are “open” and the closing indicator light is off.
