MODbreak Moulded Case Circuit Breakers
Faster tripping
The unique speed contact system accelerates the opening of contacts during
short circuit. This ensures faster tripping an ultimate current limiting feature.
The result-very low let-through, cut-off current and fault clearing time
Mechanical Anti-reclosing
This unique feature ensures that under short circuit conditions, the contacts open
and latch even before the release gives a trip command to the mechanism.
This avoids contact re-closing and bounce
Low Watts loss
The entire current carrying path is optimally designed to achieve very low watt loss.
Silver contacts offer low contact resistance, which help to achieve a low heat connection.
Positive Isolation
The MCCB toggle indicates the true position of the main
switching contacts
Double Insulation
Internal accessories are housed in insulated casings to ensure
a first level of insulation. When the front cover is opened for
the fixing of internal accessories, the MCCB is totally insulated
ensuring double insulation.
Standards Compliance
MODbreak complies with AS 60947-2, AS/NZS 3947-6, IEC
60947, and the European CE Mark.
Forward or Reverse connection
MODbreak MCCBs can be forward or reverse connected to allow
reversal of line and load connections. This is especially important
for MB and MBC chassis where MODbreak MCCBs are reverse
connected on the chassis as standard.

Transfer Switch Controller
Type: TL101CIP
The TemLogic 2 TL101 automatic transfer switch (ATS) controller will control & supervise the
primary & secondary power of an installation and initiate transferring of the mains to a backup source in the event of main source interruption. The utility changeover, from one power
source to the other can be fully automatic or manually operated. The logic controller includes
the necessary functions to monitor energy distribution systems and generating sets, and
MODbreak transfer switch.
Automatic transfer takes place when predefined conditions entered by the user take place
such as:

Power failure of one power source

Power supply voltage/frequency etc. not falling within programmed limits

The need to use the most economical power source
The TL101CIP is programmed from the front panel with visual led indication. Alternatively, the circuit breakers can be manually
controlled using the function keys on the front face of the controller.

The DOL table is based on holding 125 % FLC continuously and 600 % FLC for 10 seconds.
The primary task of the above circuit breakers is to provide short circuit and cable protection. The motor starter would normally be supplied with an
overload relay that will detect lower level current overloads or phase loss.
80, 100 and 125 amp refers to Din-T10H type.
MOD6 MCBs are C curve MCBs. Din-T MCBs are C or D curve types, and either can be used for motor starting.
Thermal magnetic MCCB current adjustment range 0.8 to 1.0 x In. Set magnetic trip to maximum or equivalent to 15 x motor FLC.
Electronic MCCB base current adjustment ranges 0.4 to 1.0 x In. Set Short Time setting to maximum or equivalent to 15 x Motor FLC.
Lower ampere rated MCCBs are possible for many applications. The above MCCB sizes generally provide additional ampere capacity.
MODbreak MCCBs have a maximum instantaneous trip setting of 10 x In. Consideration should be given to the use of high efficiency motors with a short
time current inrush of between 15 to 20 x In.
Refer NHP for tables for reduced voltage, and Type 2 coordination motor starting.

The DOL table is based on holding 125 % FLC continuously and 600 % FLC for 20 seconds.
The primary task of the above circuit breakers is to provide short circuit and cable protection. The motor starter would normally be supplied with an
overload relay that will detect lower level current overloads or phase loss.
80, 100 and 125 amp refers to Din-T10H type.
MOD6 MCBs are C curve MCBs. Din-T MCBs are C or D curve types, and either can be used for motor starting.
Thermal magnetic MCCB current adjustment range 0.8 to 1.0 x In. Set magnetic trip to maximum or equivalent to 15 x motor FLC.
Electronic MCCB base current adjustment ranges 0.4 to 1.0 x In. Set Short Time setting to maximum or equivalent to 15 x Motor FLC.
MODbreak MCCBs have a maximum instantaneous trip setting of 10 x In. Consideration should be given to the use of high efficiency motors with a short
time current inrush of between 15 to 20 x In.
Refer NHP for tables for reduced voltage, and Type 2 coordination motor starting.

MODbreak Electronic MCCB DIP Switch Setting
Refer below for DIP switch positions and settings.
Long Time Delay (LTD) Overload Protection (It = x IN)
Thermal Memory
The thermal memory feature is enabled or disabled by switching the DIP switch above the symbol θ on the OCR facia.
Up = BYPASS (OFF) / Down = ON.
The thermal memory feature is similar to the effects of hot and cold starting on an overload relay or thermal magnetic MCCB.
Thermal memory can protect the system from thermal stresses generated by cumulative heating caused by cyclic overload
conditions, thereby allowing the MCCB & system to return to a safe operating temperature. This function also allows for an
optimisation of cables or busbar protection in the case of low amplitude repetitive faults. The “Advance tripping” of the MCCB also
increases overall life and eliminates installation downtime.

Inverse Overload Curve Type Selection



Allows a degree of curve adjustment to allow for grading with upstream or downstream devices.
Adjust the tripping characteristics of the MCCB for motor starting to take into account motor start up times.
Refer MODbreak characteristic curves on previous pages for each setting characteristic.
Short Time Delay (STD) Short Circuit Setting (IS = x IN)
Time Delay for Short Circuit Protection
Allows for the selection of a short delay just prior to the MCCB tripping if a short circuit occurs.

•
When the current flowing through the MCCB is less than 30% of the preset OCR current setting, the LED is OFF.
•
When the current reaches ≥ 30% of IN, the green LED is ON.
•
At 85% of Ir the OCR enters alarm mode and starts to blink OFF and ON.
•
At 115% of Ir the OCR enters into pick up mode and is indicated by sequential ON OFF operations of the LED.
•
Above the 115% level the OCR will trip the MCCB.

About MODbreak Electronic MCCB OCRs
Example of setting the LTD – Long Time Delay setting, which is used to reset the amp rating of the MCCB.
EXAMPLE
250A Trip Unit
The DIP switches allow LTD setting changes - refer examples below. The photo below shows the FACTORY DEFAULT settings.
The raised white indicator indicates the up or down position of the DIP switch (switch in photo is shown down)
EXAMPLE
250A Trip Unit
To calculate the current setting, simply add up the DIP switch multiples.
For example: when the DIP switches are switched DOWN the amp ratings are selected.
•
•
•
•
0.4 + 0.05 + 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.25 = 1, in other words, set at 100% of the trip unit rating = 250A.
0.4 + 0.05 + 0.2 = 0.65 x 250A = 162.5A
0.4 = 0.4 x 250A = 100A.
If 0.4 and the other LT settings are switched to the upper position, the Long Time characteristic is switched
OFF. The MCCB is now short time and instantaneous only.
