Protection C60 Vigi modules

Earth leakage protection Instantaneous: 10 to 1000 mA

Selective s: 300 mA and 1000 mA

Function
b They are used with C60 2P, 3P and 4P circuit breakers to provide:
PB101058-40

v protection for users against indirect contacts

v additional protection for users against direct contacts (10 mA and 30 mA)
v protection for electrical installations against insulation faults (fire hazard, etc.).
b Basic C60 circuit breakers retain their characteristics.

Description
The Vigi earth leakage module is electromagnetic. It operates without an auxiliary
power supply. The C60 Vigi module combines the relay and toroid in a single box.

Instantaneous
It ensures instantaneous tripping (without time-delay).
Selective s
Complete vertical discrimination is ensured if the following two conditions occur
simultaneously:
b the downstream device is an instantaneous device and the upstream device is a
selective s or time-delay device
b the sensitivity I∆n of the downstream device is less than I∆n/2 of the upstream
device.

Combination
The C60 circuit breaker + C60 Vigi module combination constitutes a residual current
device in compliance with IEC 60947-2 and EN 61009.
