l

The breaker closest to the
fault will override any
customer-defined delay
setting and open
instantaneously to clear
the fault, allowing line-side
breakers to remain closed
and online

l

The PXR trip unit displays
when the ZSI system is
engaged, communicating,
and helping to keep you
and your employees safe—
so you no longer have to
just trust that the ZSI is
operational, unlike with

Interrupting Ratings

The Power Defense molded
case circuit breaker line is a
global product, with
interrupting ratings across a
broad range of voltages.
These interrupting ratings
are optimized for power
distribution and meet the
broadest range of application
needs. See each frame for the
specific interrupting levels.

Modular Accessories

The Power Defense molded
case circuit breakers feature
new, modular accessories
that are designed to make
customization of the breaker
for the unique requirements
of the application easier than
ever before. A common line
of auxiliary switch and bell
alarms allow for inter­changeability between the
different Power Defense
breaker frames, enabling the
final configuration of the
breaker at the point of use
and minimizing the amount of
inventory required. Compact,
modular shunt trips and under
voltage releases have been
designed to be easily installed
and removed as the project or
application dictates.

Some of the most common
accessories and their function
are described below.

Internal Accessories

Auxiliary Switches—Provide
circuit breaker primary
contact status information.
The auxiliary switch is used
for remote indication and
interlock system verification.
These switches mount
internal to the breaker in the
right side accessory cavity.

Alarm Switches—Used for
remote indication of
automatic trip operation. The
switch automatically resets
when the circuit breaker is
reset. These switches mount
internal to the breaker in the
right side accessory cavity.

Shunt Trip—Provides
capability to trip the breaker
by remote control. Shunt trips
are designed to be applied at
specific AC or DC voltages.
These devices are installed
internal to the breaker in the
left side accessory cavity.

Undervoltage Release
(UVR)—Monitors a voltage,

typically of a line voltage, and
trips the circuit breaker when
the voltage falls below 70%
of the nominal voltage
designated for the UVR.
These devices are installed
internal to the breaker in the
left side accessory cavity.

External Accessories

Te r m i n a l s —Multiple cable
terminal options are available
for each frame, providing
alternatives to connect
primary power and loads to
the circuit breaker.
Additionally, control wire
terminals provide a means to
tap off control power. Multi­wire terminals on the load
side of the breaker can also
be used to distribute the load
from the circuit breaker to
multiple devices without the
use of separate distribution
terminal blocks.

Terminal Shields—Provide
protection against accidental
contact with live
terminations, as well as
clearance between circuit
breaker poles or adjacent
circuit breakers, and are
required for some terminal
applications.

Interphase Barriers—Offer
additional electrical clearance
between circuit breaker poles
for special termination
applications.

Operating Mechanisms—
Manually operated
mechanisms designed to
open, close and reset circuit
breakers. These are available
in three basic configurations—
flange mounted, through-the­door and direct (close­coupled)
of options for different
applications.

Remote/Electrical
Operators—A motor driven,

stored energy operator that
enables a user to locally or
remotely switch the breaker
between the OFF, ON and
TRIP positions, including
reset switching. These
operators mount on the front
cover of the circuit breaker,
within the trim line of the
circuit breaker, and are
designed to be applied at
specific AC or DC voltages.

—

to provide a variety

Locking Devices—Offer the
capability to lock the breaker
handle in the OFF or ON
position (trip-free operation
allows the breaker to trip
when locked in the ON
position). Power Defense
offers three primary types,
including handle blocks,
padlockable hasps, and
provisions for Kirk trapped
key locks (Kirk lock must be
purchased separately).

Walking Beam Interlock—
Provides a mechanical
interlock between two
adjacent circuit breakers of
the same frame size and pole
configuration, preventing
both breakers from being
switched ON at the same
time. To install a walking
beam interlock, the circuit
breakers must be ordered
with the factory modification
to accept the interlock.

Plug-In Adapters—Provide a
rear connection and mounting
base to simplify installation
and front removal of circuit
breakers. Plug-in adapters are
available for frames PD-1,
PD-2 and PD-3.

Drawout Configurations—
Provide a robust system to
remove or exchange breakers
and is typically used in critical
power operations. It provides
a rear connection and cell,
and provides indication of
the circuit breaker position.
Drawout configurations are
available for frames PD-3,
PD-4 and PD-5.
