Features
The Ultimate in Compactness and
Operational Capability
Icw,1s = Ics for all Loadline Z Frame ACBs
Loadline Z Frame is the worlds first DoubleBreak ACB, having two breaking
contacts per phase. The expressly designed pole structure means that the short
time withstand rating (Icw, 1sec) is equal to the service short-circuit breaking
capacity (Ics) for all models. Full selectivity is warranted up to the full system fault
level. Loadline Z Frame ACBs have one of the worlds smallest depth resulting in
space saving in switchboards.
More than twenty design patents have been registered for the ACB.
The height and depth dimensions are identical in all sizes up to 3200A. There are
two common widths or frame size, from 800-2000A and from 2500-3200A for the
standard series. The panel cut-out size is the same for all types of Loadline Z
Frame, which makes it easy to arrange the ACBs in switchboards. Maximum power
from minimum volume was central to the design specification. With a depth of
290mm for the fixed type and 345mm for draw-out, it is one of the smallest ACBs
in the world. ACBs with front connections are available off-the-shelf.
Front connections are especially suitable for smaller-depth switchboards.

Increased Accessibility from the Front

Enhances ease of installation, operation, and maintenance.
The double insulated design ensures that most accessories can be safely and easily,
installed by the user. Control, auxiliary and position switch terminals are mounted
at the front on the ACB body for easy access. Horizontal, vertical and front
terminal connections, can also be changed by the user for any last minute
alterations. Due to the increased level of harmonics within the distribution network,
the neutral phase is fully rated as standard.

operation
No extra arc space required, vertical stacking permitted

The Loadline Z Frame ACB dissipates all arc energy within its unique DoubleBreak
arc chamber. The internal energy dissipation within the ACB allows the clearance
distance of the ACB to nearby earthed metal to be zero. This will assist in
minimising switchboard height and costs.
No extra
arc
space
required
Replacement of the main contacts

The fixed and moving main contacts can easily be replaced in the field, thus
prolonging the life of the circuit breaker. Changing each pole takes around
15 minutes.

A High Performance and Reliability

Very fast interruption by DoubleBreak system
The DoubleBreak main contact system ensures extremely fast interruption of
short circuit currents and substantially reduces main contact wear. The internally
symmetrical DoubleBreak structure means the moving contact is isolated from
the supply voltage even when the ACB is reverse connected. The neutral poles
of all Loadline Z Frame ACBs are of early make/late break design. This eliminates
the risk of abnormal line to neutral voltages, which may damage sensitive
electronic equipment.
DoubleBreak contacts increase service life - electrical and mechanical endurance
ratings are the best available and exceed the requirements of IEC 60947-2.
No clamp screws used for the main circuit contact units

There are no clamp screws or flexible leads in the main circuit contact units.
This substantially enhances the durability of the main circuit contact units and
improves the reliability in ON-OFF operation.
Easy maintenance
Design of Loadline Z Frame incorporates its isolating clusters and main contacts
on the ACB body allowing for quick easy maintenance of the main electrical
contact points and for maintenance to be completed without having to isolate
the switchboard.

Enhanced Selectivity
Protection relays have LSI characteristics as standard
This provides an adjustable time delay on overload (L) and also the l2t ramp
characteristic (S).
As shown, these are essential to provide selectivity when grading with other
protective devices such as downstream fuses and upstream relays.
The standard LSI curve provides more than five million combinations of time
current characteristics. Zone selective interlocking is available to provide zero time
delay selectivity. As the rated breaking capacity is identical to the rated short-time
withstand current, full selectivity can be achieved.

Loadline Z Frame ACB Provides Positive Protection for

Electric Power Systems
The Loadline Z Frame ACB series is equipped with an
RMS sensing over-current release (OCR) having a
wide range of protection functions and capabilities.
For general feeder circuits (L-characteristic)
The DoubleBreak main contact system ensures extremely fast interruption of
short circuit currents and substantially reduces main contact wear. The internally
symmetrical DoubleBreak structure means the moving contact is isolated from
the supply voltage even when the ACB is reverse connected. The neutral poles
of all Loadline Z Frame ACBs are of early make/late break design. This eliminates
the risk of abnormal line to neutral voltages, which may damage sensitive
electronic equipment.
DoubleBreak contacts increase service life - electrical and mechanical endurance
ratings exceed the requirements of IEC 60947-2.

For full details refer to the tables on page 21

N-phase protection function (optional)
In three-phase, four-wire systems that contain harmonic distortion, the 3rd
harmonic may cause large currents to flow through the neutral conductor. The
N-phase protection function prevents the neutral conductor from sustaining
damage or burnout due to these large currents. Available in all OCRs.
Ground fault trip function (optional)

This function eliminates external relays to provide a ground fault protection to
TN-C or TN-S power distribution systems on the load side (unrestricted). Ground
fault protection on the line side is also available as an option. (restricted).
Earth leakage trip function (optional)

Used in conjunction with an externally mounted Zero-phase Current Transformer
(ZCT), this function provides protection against leakage to earth of very small
levels of current. Trip or alarm indication and contact output is available to
enhance the level of system protection.
Phase rotation protection function (optional)

This function detects the negative-phase current occurring due to reverse phase
or phase loss and prevents burnout of a motor or damage to equipment.
Advanced LCD display, over-current relay

The AGR-31B OCR comes standard with an LCD display. It can monitor and
indicate phase currents, voltages, power, energy, power factor, frequency, and
more. For features refer to page 20.
Remote communications protocols (optional)

Data communications via Modbus protocol, an open network, are supported.

For details please refer to page 10. For other protocols please contact
Tyco Electronics.
Contact temperature monitoring function (optional)

This function monitors the temperature of the ACBs main contacts. An alarm
indicates when the temperature exceeds 155C. Continuous monitoring of the
contact temperature provides valuable input for preventative and predictive
maintenance programs.
Zone Interlocking (optional)

In many conventional discrimination systems, short time delays are used to allow
a short-circuit current to be tripped by the circuit breaker nearest the fault. The
disadvantage of this type of system is during a fault; considerable thermal and
mechanical stresses are placed on the entire system. With the Loadline Z Frame
Zone Interlock system the breaker nearest the fault (irrespective of the short time
delay setting) will trip first.
Example of operation:
If a fault occurs in Zone 2, only Zone Interlock A will sense any fault current fault,
a no fault signal will be sent by Zone Interlock B & C, consequently Zone
Interlock A trips the ACB immediately, overriding its short time delay.

Types of Mounting
Draw-out type
This type of ACB consists of a breaker body and a draw-out cradle. The breaker body
can be moved within or removed from the draw-out cradle that is fixed in the
switchboard There are four breaker body positions: CONNECTED, TEST ISOLATED,
and WITHDRAWN. The switchboard panel door can be kept closed in the
CONNECTED, TEST, and ISOLATED positions (shut-in three positions).
Connected position
Both the main and control circuits are connected for normal service.
Test position
The main circuit is isolated and the control circuits are connected. This position
permits operation tests without the need for opening the switchboard panel door.
Isolated position
Both the main and control circuits are isolated. The switchboard panel door does
not need to be opened.
Withdrawn position
The breaker body is fully withdrawn from the draw-out cradle.
14
5/9/07

Page 18
Fixed type (standard series only)

This type of ACB has no draw-out cradle and is designed to be directly mounted in
the switchboard.
Connection methods
Main circuit terminals
Three types of main circuit terminal arrangements are available: vertical terminals,
horizontal terminals and front connections. Different types of terminal
arrangements can be specified for the line and load sides.
Horizontal terminals
Vertical terminals
Front connections
Control circuit terminals

Control circuit terminals are front located to allow easy wiring/access.
The terminal blocks (for auxiliary switches, position switches, and control circuits)
are positioned on the top of the ACB front panel and can be accessed from the
front for wiring.

Spring Charged Operation

Manual charging type
For this type of ACB, the closing springs are charged by means of the spring
charging handle. ON/OFF operation of the ACB is performed by means of
ON/OFF buttons on the ACB.
Charging the closing springs
Pumping the spring charging handle by hand charges the closing springs.
Closing the ACB
Pressing the ON button on the ACB closes the ACB.
Opening the ACB
Pressing the OFF button on the ACB opens the ACB.
The ACB cannot be closed as long as the OFF button is pressed.
Motor charging type

For this type of ACB, the closing springs are charged by means of a motor.
ON/OFF operation of the ACB can be performed remotely. A manual charging
mechanism is also fitted to facilitate inspection or maintenance work.
Charging the closing springs
A motor is used to charge the closing springs.
When the closing springs are released to close the ACB, they are automatically
charged again by the motor for the next ON operation.
Closing the ACB
Turning on remote ON switch enables the ACB to be remotely closed.
Anti-pumping mechanism Even if the ON switch is kept on, ACB closing
operation is performed only once.
To close the ACB again, remove the ON signal to reset the anti-pumping
mechanism and then reapply the ON signal.
If ON and OFF signals are simultaneously given to the ACB, the ON signal
is ignored.
Opening the ACB
For opening the ACB remotely, specify the shunt trip device (See P. 30) or the
under-voltage trip (See P. 34).

Over-current Releases (OCRs)

The AGR series of over-current releases (OCRs) featuring high reliability and
multiple protection capabilities is available for Loadline Z Frame. Controlled by
an internal 16-bit microprocessor, the OCR provides reliable protection against
over-current.
The OCR L-characteristic is for general feeder applications.
The range consists of:
Type AGR-11BL: Standard OCR with adjustment dial
Type AGR-21BL: Standard OCR with LCD
Type AGR-31BL: Enhanced OCR with backlit LCD
Optional protection functions of the OCR include those against ground fault, earth
leakage, under-voltage and reverse power.
Pretrip alarm function can also be installed.
Protective functions
1 Adjustable long time-delay trip function LT
RMS sensing is used to accurately read through distorted waveforms.
HOT start mode (applicable to L-characteristic of AGR-21BL,31BL)

HOT or COLD start mode is user-selectable.
In HOT start mode, the OCR operates faster than in COLD start mode in response
to an overload. The HOT start mode gives protection, taking account of the
behaviour of loads under heat stress.
2 Adjustable short time-delay trip function ST

The ST delay trip function has a definite time delay characteristic and a ramp
characteristic. These characteristics are switch-selectable.
The ramp characteristic provides close selectivity with downstream circuit
breakers or fuses.
The definite time characteristic operates when the load current reaches 1000% or
more of the rated current [In].
The ST trip function is factory set to the definite time characteristic.
17
5/9/07
12:14
Page 21
3 Adjustable instantaneous trip function INST/MCR

The INST trip function trips the ACB when the short circuit current exceeds the
pickup current setting, irrespective of the state of the ACB.
The making current release (MCR) trips the ACB when the short circuit current
exceeds the pickup current setting during closing operation. After the ACB is
closed, the MCR is locked and kept inoperative.
The INST and MCR are switch-selectable for AGR-21BL and 31BL. (AGR-11BL is
INST only, MCR is not selectable) Note: The MCR needs the control power. If the
control power is lost, the MCR provides the INST trip function only.
4 Adjustable pretrip alarm function PTA

The pretrip alarm function provides an alarm signal via the alarm contact
(1a-contact) when the load current exceeding a predetermined value lasts for
a predetermined time.
The pretrip alarm is automatically reset when the load current drops to the
predetermined value.
Note that this function needs the control power.
5 Ground fault trip function GF

The peak value sensing is used (the residual current of each phase is detected).
The GF pickup current can be set between 10% and 100% of the CT rated primary
current [ICT].
<Ramp characteristic is added>
The ramp and definite time characteristics are switch selectable. The GF trip
function comes into operation with the definite time characteristic when the load
current reaches 100% or more of the CT rated primary current [ICT].
The GF trip function is factory set to the definite time characteristic.
When using a three-pole ACB in a three-phase, four-wire system, a separate
neutral CT must be used (supplied).
6 Earth leakage trip function ELT (For AGR-31BL only.)

In conjunction with an external Zero phase Current Transformer (ZCT), the ELT
function provides protection against earth leakage.
The ELT pickup current can be set at 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 1A (medium sensitivity) or
3 and 5A (low sensitivity).
This function needs the control power.
Note 1:
For details on specifications of the external ZCT, contact

Tyco Electronics.
Note 2:
The ELT function comes usually with operation indications. If you

need nothing but earth leakage indications without earth leakage
tripping operation, please specify at the time of ordering.
Note 3:
The ELT function is available up to 2500A rated current [In]
7 N-phase protection function NP

This NP function is available on four-pole ACBs and prevents the neutral
conductor from suffering damage or burnout due to over-current.
The NP trip pickup current can be set between 40% and 100% of the OCR rated
primary current.
It is factory set to a value specified at the time of ordering.
Note 1:
The NP trip function comes usually with operation indications. The

NP trip pickup current setting is shared by the LT trip function.
Note 2:
The HOT start mode is available for AGR-21BL and AGR-31BL. The
operating time for the NP trip function is linked to that for the LT
trip function.

NON setting and fail-safe feature

1 Non setting
Setting a trip pick up current function to NON allows you to render the
corresponding protection function inoperative.
Functions having the NON option include LT, ST, INST/MCR, and GF.
Appropriate NON setting will be a useful means for optimum selectivity.
2 Fail-safe feature
The OCR has a fail-safe mechanism in case protection functions are improperly set
to NON.
If the ST and INST trip pick up current functions are both set to NON, the failsafe mechanism will activate the INST trip function to trip the ACB when a fault
current equal to or more than 16 times the rated current [In] flows through
the ACB.
If the ST and MCR trip pick up current functions are both set to NON, the fail safe
mechanism will activate the ST delay trip function to trip the ACB when a fault
current equal to or more than 10 times (5 times for generator protection) the
rated current [In] flows through the ACB.
Field test facility

Type AGR-21BL and 31BL OCRs are equipped with a field test function to verify the
long time delay, short time delay, instantaneous and ground fault trip features
without the need for tripping of the ACB.
To check type AGR-11BL, use the type ANU-1 OCR checker (optional).
Operation indication function

1 Indication via single-contact (AGR-11BL)
When the LT, ST, INST or GF trip function is activated, an output is generated via
1a-contact.
The 1a-contact will turn off after 40 ms or more.
A self-hold circuit is needed.
2 Indication via individual contacts (AGR-21BL & 31BL)

When the LT trip, ST trip, INST/MCR trip, GF trip, ELT, NS, REF, UVT, pretrip alarm,
or contact temperature monitoring function is activated, LCD will indicate their
operation individually and output is generated via the corresponding contact. The
OCR also has a self-diagnostic feature that monitors the internal tripping circuits. If
detecting any fault in the circuits, this feature turns on the system alarm indicator.
The control power is needed.

Main circuit safety shutters
The main circuit safety shutters automatically conceal the main circuit contacts on
the draw-out cradle when the ACB is drawn out.
The top and bottom shutters operate independently and can be separately
padlocked in the closed position.
Up to three padlocks (with 6 hasp) can be installed on each side using
padlocking unit. (Padlock not supplied).
In the closed position, the shutters are locked to the extent that they cannot be
easily unlocked by hand. They can be unlocked and held open if required for the
purpose of inspection or maintenance.
Control circuit safety shutter

The control circuit safety shutter covers the control circuit contacts, ensuring safety.
Position padlock lever

Using the position padlock lever prevents the breaker body from inadvertently being
drawn out. The position padlock lever in the pulled-out position locks the breaker
body in the CONNECTED, TEST or ISOLATED position. Up to three padlocks (with
6 hasp) can be installed.

Locking Devices (factory fitted)
Castell interlock
The key interlock is a system of interlocking between ACBs, each fitted with a key
lock of lock-in OFF type.
A key must be inserted to release the lock before the ACB can be closed.
The ACB must be opened and locked in the OFF position before the key can
be removed.
Utilising the lock-in OFF type key lock feature and then a limited number of keys,
by default, provides an effective and reliable interlock system.
Using the same keys also allows interlocking between an ACB and other devices
(such as a switchboard door).
ACBs can be supplied with a type FS-2 Castell lock (with an angular movement
90 clockwise to trap key) or the provision to fit a Castell lock.
A double Castell interlocking facility suitable for applications such as UPS systems
is available as a special specification contact Tyco Electronics.
Facility or full option including locks are available, see following order code chart.
Cylinder lock
The key lock is the lock-in OFF type that locks the ACB in the open position.
When the ACB is fitted with a key lock, the operator cannot operate the ACB
unless using a matched key, see following order code chart.
Example: Interlock for prevention of parallel feeding from two sources

Padlockable device
Permits the ACB to be padlocked in the OFF position. Max. three padlocks with 6
hasp can be fitted. Padlocking is possible only when ON-OFF indicator shows OFF.
When the ACB is padlocked in the OFF position both manual and electrical closing
become inoperative, but the charging of the closing spring by manual or motor is
still possible.
Note 1: OFF padlock facility cannot be fitted with key lock or key interlock.

Continuously-rated shunt trip device (factory fitted)
The continuous-rated shunt trip device allows the ACB to be opened when an
external protection relay against over-current or reverse power is activated.
Because of its continuous rating, the device can also be used to provide an
electrical interlock to the ACB.
Continuously rated shunt trip and under-voltage trip cannot be fitted to the same
ACB. However, instantaneously rated shunt trip can be used together with undervoltage trip with special specification. Special double opening and closing coils are
available. Contact Tyco Electronics for details.

Under-voltage trip device (UVT) (factory fitted)

The under-voltage trip device (UVT) trips the ACB when the control voltage
drops below the opening voltage. When the control voltage is restored to the
pick up voltage, the ACB can be closed. The pick up voltage is fixed to 85% of
the rated voltage.
The UVT consists of a tripping mechanism and an under-voltage trip control
device. The trip control device is available in two types, standard and delayed.
Type standard provides an instantaneous trip to the ACB when the control voltage
drops below the opening voltage. The delayed type provides a delayed trip to the
ACB when the control voltage remains below the opening voltage for at least 500
ms. Adding a push button switch (with normally opened contacts) between
terminals 24 and 30 allows the ACB to be tripped remotely.
Under-voltage trip control circuit (for ac)
signal is 48v dc/5 mA.

* Tripping
Apply tripping signal for at least 80ms. If a constant tripping signal is applied a
n/o auxiliary switch must be used in series with the PB.

Mal-insertion prevention
Interchangeability exists within the Loadline Z Frame series of ACBs.
Because of this feature, there is a possibility for an ACB of a different
specification being placed into the draw-out cradle. Using the mal-insertion
prevention device eliminates such a possibility.
This device is capable of distinguishing nine different breaker bodies.

Shutter Padlocking Device

The main circuit safety shutters automatically conceal the main circuit
contacts on the draw-out cradle when the ACB is drawn out.
The top and bottom shutters operate independently and can be separately
padlocked in the closed position.
Up to three padlocks (with 6 hasp) can be installed on each side using
padlocking unit. (Padlock not supplied)
In the closed position, the shutters are locked to the extent that they cannot
be easily unlocked by hand. They can be unlocked and held open if required
for the purpose of inspection or maintenance.

Capacitor Trip Device

In conjunction with the continuously-rated shunt trip device, the capacitor trip
device can be used to trip the ACB within a limited period of 30 seconds if a
large voltage drop occurs due to an ac power failure or short-circuit.
When the continuously-rated shunt trip is used with a capacitor trip device, A
contact of auxiliary switch of ACB should be inserted into the series, otherwise
internal damage may occur.
When ordering the capacitor trip device, a 48V dc shunt trip is required to be
ordered separately.

Recommendation for Busbars connection

The busbars to the ACB should be firmly supported near the ACB terminal. Fault
currents flow through the busbars developing large electromagnetic force
between the busbars, and the support must be strong enough to withstand such
forces. The ACB should not be relied on as a single support.

Application Data
What Is Discrimination?
Discrimination, also called selectivity, is the coordination of protective devices such
that a fault is cleared by the protective device installed immediately upstream of
the fault and by that device alone.
Total discrimination
Discrimination is said to be total if the downstream circuit breaker opens and the
upstream circuit breaker remains closed. This ensures maximum availability of
the system.
Partial discrimination
Discrimination is partial if the above condition is not fulfiled up to the prospective
short-circuit current, but to a lesser value, termed the selectivity limit current (Is).
Above this value both circuit breakers could open, resulting in loss of selectivity.
How To Read The Discrimination Tables

Boxes containing the letter T indicate total discrimination between the relevant
upstream and downstream circuit breakers. Total discrimination applies for all fault
levels up to the breaking capacity of the upstream or the downstream circuit
breaker, whichever is the lesser.
For the other boxes, discrimination is either partial or there is no discrimination.
Worked Examples
Q (1) A main switchboard requires a 1600A ACB feeding a 400A MCCB. The fault
level is 65kA. What combination of protective devices would provide total
discrimination?
A (1) A Loadline 1600A, Z2 ACB feeding a Loadline YA5J MCCB would provide
total discrimination up to 65kA. See page 63.
Note: Discrimination would be total whether the Loadline ACB had an integral or
external protection relay because Icw (1s) = Ics. Most other ACBs have
Icw(1s) < Ics.
