Selectivity :

- Between A & B : a selectivity is not necessary because there is no differences on the system if it’s the first or
the second which is tripping.

- Between A & C : a selectivity is necessary because in the case of fault downstream a feeder, it should keep the
busbar supplied.

- Between A & D : a selectivity is necessary because in the case of fault downstream a feeder, it should keep the
busbar supplied.

- Between B & C : a selectivity is necessary because in the case of fault a bus zone, it should keep the other
busbar supplied.

- Between C & D : a selectivity is necessary because in the case of fault downstream a feeder, it should keep the
busbar supplied.

- Between C & E : a selectivity is necessary because in the case of fault downstream a feeder, it should keep the
busbar supplied.

- Between D1 & E : a selectivity is not necessary because there is no differences on the system if it’s the first or
the second which is tripping.

7. SELECTIVITY BETWEEN CHARGER FUSE & DCDB INCOMER
BREAKERS :

Discrimination Between : A-B

Selectivity between A & B

Supply side: Fuse – NH2 gG 400A (ABB)

Load side: MCCB – ABB_T5N400 400A (Thermal: 1.0, Magnetic: 10x In) (Icu=36kA)

There is not necessity to guarantee selectivity between A & B, however resetting of MCCB is much
easier, faster, cheaper and safe than replacement of fuses. Therefore it is better to guarantee selectivity
between the two.

Overload Zone
Please note that the maximum full load is 41,198 W.
Therefore, max. full load current = 41,198/110 = 374.53A (see below Table-1 on page 6)
The overload pickup of the incomer is 400A (400A x 1.0 setting). From the above curve, please note
the incomer breaker will trip first for the overload current starting from 400A up to 1023A. Therefore,
the breaker and fuse are well coordinated for the overload condition.

5 OF 41 PH10-1C-10-60-7001_R0
Short-circuit Zone
The through fault current of the battery is 21.82kA. This fault current is about 12.25kA in the LVDC
board after cable length between the battery and LVDC board. (Refer to attached short-circuit
calculation at DCDB on page 35-37) The overlapping between NH4-800A fuse and DC incomer
breaker occurs at over 20kA which is more than maximum fault current. Therefore 800A fuse is not
blown by the DCDB short-circuit fault, NH2-400A fuse or incomer breaker will trip first to block fault
current.

BREAKER :

Discrimination Between : A-C

Supply side: Fuse – NH2 gG 400A (ABB)

Load side: MCCB – ABB_T5N400 320A (Thermal: 1.0, Magnetic: 10x In) (Icu=36kA)

Overload Zone
Please note that the maximum one DC bus load is 34,107 W.
Therefore, max. full load current = 32,653/110 = 296.85A (see above Table 1on page 6)
The overload pickup of the coupler is 320A. From the above curve, please note the coupler breaker
will trip first for the overload current starting from 320A up to 1357A. Therefore, the breaker and fuse
are well coordinated for the overload condition.

Short-circuit Zone
The through fault current of the battery is 21.82kA. This fault current is about 12.25kA in the LVDC
board after cable length between the battery and LVDC board. (Refer to attached short-circuit

7 OF 41 PH10-1C-10-60-7001_R0
calculation at DCDB on page 35-37) The overlapping between NH4-800A fuse and DC incomer
breaker occurs at over 20kA which is more than maximum fault current. Therefore 800A fuse is not
blown by the DCDB short-circuit fault, NH2-400A fuse or coupler breaker will trip first to block fault
current..

FEEDERS :

Discrimination Between : A-D1, E

Selectivity between A & D1, E

Supply side: Fuse – NH2 gG 400A (ABB)

Load side: MCCB – Schneider_NS160 DC 160A (Thermal: 1.0, Magnetic: 8xIn) (Icu=100kA)

Overload Zone
In the overload zone, the load side breaker must trip more rapidly than the supply-side fuse because
there is no overlapping between two time-current curves.

Short-circuit Zone
In the short-circuit area, a selectivity is guaranteed by fuse E (160A). 160A fuse must trip rapidly more
than supply side 400A fuse. Therefore, selectivity is in order.

COUPLER BREAKER :
Discrimination Between : B-C

Selectivity between B & C

Supply side: MCCB – ABB_T5N400 400A (Thermal: 1.0, Magnetic: 10x In) (Icu=36kA)
Load side: MCCB – ABB_T5N400 320A (Thermal: 1.0, Magnetic: 10x In) (Icu=36kA)

Overload Zone
Please note that the maximum one DC bus load is 34,107 W.
Therefore, max. full load current = 32,653/110 = 296.85A (see above Table 1on page 6)
The overload pickup of the coupler is 320A. From the above curve, please note the coupler breaker
will trip first for the overload current starting from 320A up to 400A, above which the incomer breaker
shall pick up in order to clear the fault. Therefore, the breakers are well coordinated for the overload
condition.

Short-circuit Zone
Short circuit discrimination is not possible between incomer and coupler breaker. These are only
guaranteed faults which occur up to 3.2kA by current discrimination.

1) Circuit Breaker 160A D1 (T3C160 TMD160)

Discrimination Between : C-D1

Selectivity between C & D1

Supply side: ABB_T5N400 320A (Thermal: 1.0, Magnetic: 10x In) (Icu=36kA)
Load side: Schneider_NS160 DC 160A (Thermal: 1.0, Magnetic: 8xIn) (Icu=100kA)

Overload Zone
Please note that the total UPS load is 18.6kVA. ie 18600 VA x 0.85 pf = 15810 W
Therefore, the max. full load current = 15810/110 = 143.73 A
The overload pickup of the UPS feeder is 160A. From the above curve, please note the UPS feeder
breaker will trip for the overload current starting from 160A up to 336.3A, above which the coupler
breaker shall pick up in order to clear the fault. Therefore, the breakers are well coordinated for the
overload condition.

11 OF 41 PH10-1C-10-60-7001_R0
Short-circuit Zone
In the short-circuit area, load side breaker will trip faster than coupler breaker however the gap of the
time is small to secure selectivity. So that a selectivity is guaranteed by load side 160A fuse. See the
below curve;

Coupler breaker trip time is 15ms in short-circuit condition, but 160A fuse is faster than 10ms.
Therefore 160A load side fuse must trip rapidly more than coupler breaker fuse.
