circuit breakers constitute a fexible
and cost-effective means to meet the
various needs of DC systems.
A wide, complete and high-performance range
Schneider Electric DC circuit breakers provide a comprehensive solution for the
many applications found in DC systems.
The Compact NS and Masterpact NW ranges offer, for the common voltages and
pole versions, a wide selection of current ratings (16 to 4000 A) and breaking
capacities (up to 100 kA).

Even though they use the accessories of the corresponding AC ranges, the Compact
NS and Masterpact NW DC ranges have been specially designed for DC systems.
Specifc accessories have been developed to meet the needs of series or parallel
connection of poles by users in a simple and dependable manner (see page
opposite).

Compact NS and Masterpact NW DC
circuit breakers offer optimised
pole-connection possibilities.
Designed for direct current
Performance levels and quality signed Schneider Electric
The creation of a dependable and high-performance DC range requires a large
amount of specifc design and development work in addition to that invested in the
original AC range.
Schneider Electric called on its proven industrial experience in the AC feld and its
recognised know-how in current interruption to develop a high-performance DC
range.
Schneider Electric decided to use the cases and accessories of its Compact NS and
Masterpact NW ranges with:
a high-performance design for the breaking chambers or the poles intended
specifcally for DC applications (e.g. 100 kA at 250 V per pole for Compact NS and
85 kA at 900 V for two poles for Masterpact NW)
fast trip units developed for DC applications
optimised pole-connection and isolation possibilities that are both simple and
dependable.
Optimised solutions for the many types of DC systems
The many types of DC systems make it necessary, for cost and technical-
optimisation reasons, to connect the poles of two, three or four-pole circuit breakers
in series or in parallel.
b The Compact NS and Masterpact NW ranges enable series connection of poles,
thereby optimising breaking capacity for high voltages.
Series connection reduces the voltage across the terminals of each pole (the total
voltage is divided by two, three or four depending on the circuit breaker) and the
operation of all poles provides the breaking capacity of the overall device.
This makes it poss ble to break short-circuit currents at high voltages while optimising
solutions (e.g. a Compact NS 100 kA 250 V per pole can be used on a 750 V system
with three poles connected in series, thus reducing the cost compared to a 750 V
solution.
b The Compact NS range enables parallel connection of the poles, thereby
optimising the use of the rated currents.

Optimised and dependable series or parallel
connection of poles
Series connection - controlled temperature rise and
guaranteed performance
Schneider Electric DC circuit breakers comply with product standards IEC 60947-1
and 2.
To that end, series connection of poles meets:
temperature-rise conditions. Connections specifcally designed to dissipate heat
mean the thermal model is equivalent to that for AC applications. The devices
dissipate the temperature rise produced by relatively short series connections
optimum safety conditions. Connections are designed for extreme operating
conditions (insulation and safety clearances, ultimate breaking capacity, high
pollution levels, etc.).
Parallel connection - optimisation
Certain DC systems require high power levels (hundreds to thousands of amperes)
at reduced voltages, most often y 250 V.
The confgurations of DC systems and the exceptional performance levels of
Compact NS circuit breakers mean the poles can be parallel connected. This
technique virtually doubles, triples or quadruples the current rating depending on the
type of circuit breaker and thus reduces the cost of solutions.

Functions
and characteristics
There are three types of DC distribution
systems (see the table).
The operational voltage in conjunction with
one of the three systems determines the
number of poles taking part in current
interruption.
Selection of a circuit breaker depends essentially on the distribution-system
parameters presented below which are used to determine the corresponding
characteristics:
type of system - determines the type of product and the number of poles
connected in series for each polarity
rated voltage - determines the number of series poles taking part in current
interruption
nominal current - determines the rated current of the circuit-breaker
maximum short-circuit current at the point of installation - determines the breaking
capacity.

Comparison of series and parallel connection in terms of performance
Series connection of poles divides the
voltage per pole and optimises breaking
capacity for high-voltage systems.
Series connection of poles on a DC circuit breaker is the means to:
divide the system voltage by the number of poles
use the rated current for each pole
use the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker for all the poles.
For example, a Compact NS630, 3P DC type, with the three poles connected in
series, provides:
a maximum voltage of 750 V (250 V per pole)
a rated current of 630 A
a breaking capacity of 100 kA / 750 V.
Consequently, a 630 A / 250 V device can be used in a 750 V system.

b

Parallel connection of poles divides the
current per pole and optimises the rated
current for systems that do not exceed the
withstand voltage of each pole.
The maximum useable rating and the value
of the magnetic setting are indicated (see
page B-8)and(see page B-9).
Parallel connection of poles, on the contrary, imposes the system voltage on each
pole, but is the means to:
divide the current fowing through each pole by the number of poles
increase the rated current.
For example, the same Compact NS630 DC 3P circuit breaker with three poles in
parallel provides:
b a maximum voltage of 250 V (250 V per pole)
b a rated current of 1500 A (see table page B-9)
b a breaking capacity of 100 kA / 250 V.
Consequently, a 630 A device used in a 250 V system can handle 1500 A.

an equal number of poles for each polarity, i.e. a total of two or four
all poles of the two polarities must have breaking capacity u Isc max. at Un,
i.e. 60 kA/500 V in this case
all poles of the each polarity must have breaking capacity u Isc max. at Un/2,
i.e. 60 kA/250 V in this case.

Calculation of the short-circuit current across the terminals of
a battery
During a short-circuit, the battery discharges a current equal to
Vb = maximum discharge voltage (battery 100 % charged)
Ri = internal resistance equivalent to all cells (a function of the capacity in ampere-
hours).
b
b
Example
consider a set of four 500 Ah batteries connected in parallel
discharge voltage of one battery: 240 V (110 cells 2.2 V each)
discharge current of one battery: 300 A with a run-time of 30 minutes
discharge current of all four batteries: 1200 A with a run-time of 30 minutes
internal resistance 0.5 mW per cell, i.e. for one battery:
Ri = 110 x 0.5 x 10
-3
= 55 x 10
-3
W
short-circuit current of one battery: Isc = 240 V / 55 x 10
-3
W = 4.37 kA
neglecting the resistance of the connections, for all four batteries discharging the
short-circuit current in parallel, the total short-circuit current is four times that of one
battery, i.e. Isc = 4 x 4.37 kA = 17.5 kA.
Note: if the internal resistance is not known, it is possible to use the following rough
approximation: Isc = kc where c is the capacity of the battery in ampere-hours and k is a
coeffcient close to 10 and always less than 20.

PABXs: Isc from 5 to 25 kA at 240 V DC with L/R = 5 ms

When a short-circuit occurs across the terminals of a DC circuit, the current rises
from the load current (y In) to the short-circuit current Isc over a period of time that
depends on the value of the resistance R and inductance L of the short-circuited
loop.
The equation determining the current in the loop is:
u = Ri + L di/dt
The curve of I versus time is defned (neglecting In) by the equation:
i = Isc (1 - exp(t/t))
where t = L/R is the time constant for the rise to Isc.
Practically speaking, after a time t = 3t, the short-circuit is considered to be
established, because the value of exp(-3) = 0.05 is neglig ble compared to 1 (see the
curve opposite).
The lower the time constant (e.g. battery circuit), the shorter the time required for the
current to rise to Isc.
To express breaking capacity, the interrupted short-circuit current with the following
time constants is used:
L/R = 5 ms, fast short-circuit
L/R = 15 ms, standardised value used in standard IEC 60947-2
L/R = 30 ms, slow short-circuit.
In general, the value of the system time constant is calculated under worst-case
conditions, across the terminals of the generator.
Breaking-capacity values for:
Compact NS (table page A-17) are the same for 5 ms and 15 ms
Masterpact NW (table page A-19) are indicated for 3 values, 5 ms, 15 ms and 30 ms.

Compact NS circuit breakers may be stored in their original packing between -
50 C and +85 C
Masterpact NW circuit breakers may be stored without the control unit between -
35 C and +85 C. The control unit must be stored at a temperature between -25 C
and +85 C.

Altitude
Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are designed to operate at their
rated values at altitudes under 2000 metres.
Above 2000 metres, the changes in the characteristics of the ambient air (electrical
resistance, cooling capacity) result in a reduction of the characteristics below.

Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are suitable for
isolation as defned by IEC 60947-1 and 60947-2:
the isolation position corresponds to the O (OFF) position
the operating handle and the indicators cannot indicate the OFF position unless
the contacts are effectively open
padlocks may not be installed unless the contacts are open.
The isolation function is certifed by tests guaranteeing:
the mechanical reliability of the position-indication system
the absence of leakage currents
overvoltage withstand capacity between upstream and downstream connections.
For Compact NS, installation of a rotary handle or a motor mechanism does not alter
the reliability of the position-indication system.

Vibrations
Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are guaranteed against
electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations.
Tests are carried out in compliance with standard IEC 68-2-6 for the levels required
by merchant-marine inspection organisations (Veritas, Lloyds, etc.):
2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude 1 mm
13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g.
Excessive vibration may cause tripping, breaks in connections or damage to
mechanical parts.

Installation in class II switchboards
All Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are class II front-face devices.
They may be installed through the door of class II switchboards (as per standard IEC
60664) without downgrading switchboard insulation. Installation requires no special
operations even when the circuit breaker is equipped with a rotary handle or a motor
mechanism.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers are protected against:
overvoltages caused by devices that generate electromagnetic disturbances
overvoltages caused by atmospheric disturbances or by a distribution-system
outage (e.g. failure of a lighting system) and devices emitting radio waves (radios,
walkie-talkies, radar, etc.)
electrostatic discharges produced by users. The circuit breakers have successfully
passed the electromagnetic-compatibility tests (EMC) defned by international
standard IEC 60947-2, appendix F.
The above tests guarantee that:
no nuisance tripping occurs
tripping times are respected.
Compact NS and Masterpact NW circuit breakers comply with the following
electromagnetic-compatibility standards:
IEC/EN 61000-4-2 - electrostatic immunity discharge test, part 2 (circuit breakers)
IEC/EN 61000-4-3 - electromagnetic-feld immunity test
IEC/EN 61000-4-4 - electrical fast transient/burst immunity test
IEC/EN 61000-4-5 - surge immunity test
IEC/EN 61000-4-6 - immunity to conducted disturbances, induced by
radiofrequency felds
CISPR 11 - radio-frequency conducted and radiated emission tests required for
CE marking
EN 61000-6-2 - immunity standard for industrial environments
EN 50081-1-2 - emissions in commercial and industrial environments.

Functions
and characteristics
The COM option is required for integration
of the circuit breaker or switch-disconnector
in a supervision system.
Masterpact uses the Digipact or Modbus
communications protocol for full
compatibility with the SMS PowerLogic
power-monitoring system. An external
gateway is available for communication on
other networks:
b Profbus
b Ethernet
The COM option in Masterpact is made up of:
For fxed devices
a device communication module, installed behind the Micrologic control unit and
supplied with its set of sensors (OF, SDE ,PF and CH micro-contacts) and its kit for
connection to XF and MX communicating voltage releases.
For drawout devices
a device communication module, installed behind the Micrologic control unit and
supplied with its set of sensors (OF, SDE, PF and CH micro-contacts) and its kit for
connection to XF and MX communicating voltage releases
a chassis communication module supplied separately with its set of sensors (CE,
CD and CT contacts).
Status indication by the COM option is independent of the device indication contacts.
These contacts remain available for conventional uses.
Digipact or Modbus device communication module
This module is independent of the control unit. It receives and transmits information
on the communication network.
Digipact or Modbus chassis communication module
This module is independent of the control unit. The Modbus chassis communication
module makes it possible to address the chassis and to conserve the address when
the circuit breaker is in the disconnected position. Consumption: 30 mA, 24 V.
XF and MX communicating voltage releases
The XF and MX communicating voltage releases are equipped for connection to the
device communication module.
Remote-tripping functions (second MX or MN) are independent of the
communication option. These releases are therefore not equipped for connection to
the device communication module.

Communication with the circuit breaker
Compact NS is possible using a number of
hardware solutions:
b Advantys OTB Modbus interface module
with built-in inputs/outputs
b SC150 interface
b communicating auxiliary contacts.
A number of hardware solutions are available for the range:
Advantys OTB Modbus interface module with 12 inputs/8 outputs built in and
expandable by adding optional modules from the Twido range
communicating auxiliaries
They replace the standard auxiliaries and connect directly to the Digipact bus, with
three equipment levels:
communicating auxiliary contacts, comprising:
- OF (on/off), SD (trip indication) and SDE (fault-trip indication) contacts
- electronic module
- prefabricated wiring.
communicating auxiliary contacts and motor-mechanism module, comprising:
- OF (on/off), SD (trip indication) and SDE (fault-trip indication) contacts
- MCH motor-mechanism module (220 V AC)
(1)
- electronic module
- prefabricated wiring.
communicating carriage switches for the chassis, comprising:
- CE / CD (connected/disconnected position) contacts
- electronic module
- wiring connector
SC150 interface
Using the SC150 interface, it is possible to integrate a device equipped with non-
communicating auxiliaries into a supervison system.
The SC150 interface is used to connect:
the auxiliary contacts on the circuit breaker (OF, SD, SDE, SDV, CD, CE)
the remote-operation system (on, off, reset)
one unassigned digital input.
Software
To make use of the information provided by the communicating devices, it is
necessary to use software incorporating a Modbus driver. Schneider Electric offers
two solutions: the RCU utility and SMS software.
RCU utility
This is a set of Modbus drivers that, in conjunction with a PC, can be used to:
view device status (on/off and fault trip)
view variables: currents, voltages, power, energy (instantaneous and maximum
values)
remotely open and close the device.
SMS (System Management Software)
SMS is power-management software to control and monitor LV and MV electrical
installations.
The SMS family includes a number of products offering different features for all types
of applications.
SMS can communicate with all intelligent devices in the electrical installation.

Common-point changeover contacts are used to remote circuit-breaker status
information and can thus be used for indications, electrical locking, relaying, etc.
They comply with the IEC 60947-5 international recommendation.
Functions
OF (ON/OFF) - indicates the position of the circuit breaker contacts
SD (trip indication) - indicates that the circuit breaker has tripped due to:
an overload
a short-circuit
an earth-leakage fault
operation of a voltage release
operation of the push to trip button
disconnection when the device is ON.
Returns to de-energised state when the circuit breaker is reset
b SDE (fault indication) - indicates that the circuit breaker has tripped due to:
an overload
a short-circuit.
Returns to de-energised state when the circuit breaker is reset
CAM (early-make or early-break function) - indicates the position of the rotary
handle. Used in particular for advanced opening of safety trip devices (early break)
or to energise a control device prior to circuit-breaker closing (early make)
CE / CD (connected/disconnected position) - microswitch type carriage switches
for withdrawable circuit breakers.
Installation
OF, SD and SDE functions - a single type of contact provides all these different
indication functions, depending on where it is inserted in the device. The contacts clip
into slots behind the front cover of the circuit breaker.
The SDE function on a circuit breaker equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit
requires the SDE actuator.
CAM function - the contact fts into the rotary-handle unit (direct or extended).
CE / CD (connected/disconnected) function - two parts must be ftted on the fxed

MX or MN voltage releases are used to trip the circuit breaker.
This release trips the circuit breaker when the control voltage drops below a tripping
threshold:
tripping threshold between 0.35 and 0.7 times the rated voltage
circuit breaker closing is possible if the voltage exceeds 0.85 times the rated
voltage. For a lower value, circuit breaker closing cannot be guaranteed.
Circuit breaker tripping by an MN release meets the requirements of standard
IEC 60947-2.
Time-delay unit for an MN release
Eliminates nuisance tripping due to transient voltage dips lasting 200 ms.
It is used in conjunction with:
a 250 V DC MN release, control voltage 220/240 V AC
a 48 V DC MN release, control voltage 48 V AC.
MX shunt release
Trips the circuit breaker when the control voltage rises above 0.7 x Un.
Control signals can be of the impulse type (u 20 ms) or maintained.
Operation
When the circuit breaker has been tripped by an MN or MX release, it must be reset
locally.
MN or MX tripping takes priority over manual closing.
In the presence of a standing trip order, closing of the contacts, even temporary,
is not possible.

Wiring diagram of a point-to-point remote ON / OFF function
Note
An opening order always takes priority over a closing order.
If opening and closing orders occur simultaneously, the
mechanism discharges without any movement of the main
contacts. The circuit breaker remains in the open position
(OFF).
In the event of maintained opening and closing orders, the
standard mechanism provides an anti-pumping function by
blocking the main contacts in open position.
Anti-pumping function. After fault tripping or intentional opening
using the manual or electrical controls, the closing order must
frst be discontinued, then reactivated to close the circuit
breaker.
When the automatic reset after fault trip (RAR) option is
installed, to avoid pumping following a fault trip, the automatic
control system must take into account the information supplied
by the circuit breaker before issuing a new closing order or
blocking the circuit breaker in the open position. (information
on type of fault: overload, short time delay, earth-leakage fault,
fault vigi or short-circuit, etc.)

the closing pushbutton.
Electrical closing via the BPFE pushbutton takes into account all the safety functions
that are part of the control/monitoring system of the installation.
The BPFE connects to the closing release (XF) in place of the COM module.
The COM module is incompatible with this option.
Different types of voltage exist and the XF electromagnet is compulsary if the BPFE
option is selected.

This function opens the circuit breaker via an electrical order. It is made up of:
a shunt release (second MX)
or an undervoltage release (MN)
or a delayed undervoltage release MNR: (MN + delay unit).
These releases (2
nd
MX or MN) cannot be operated by the communication bus.
The delay unit, installed outside the circuit breaker, may be disabled by an
emergency OFF button to obtain instantaneous opening of the circuit breaker.

Instantaneous voltage releases (MN)
The MN release instantaneously opens the circuit breaker when its supply voltage
drops to a value between 35 % and 70 % of its rated voltage. If there is no supply on
the release, it is impossible to close the circuit breaker, either manually or electrically.
Any attempt to close the circuit breaker has no effect on the main contacts. Circuit-
breaker closing is enabled again when the supply voltage of the release returns to
85 % of its rated value.

Electrodynamic forces on the conductors
The circuit breakers can be connected with copper, tinned copper or tinned
aluminum conductors (rigid or fexible bars, cables).
In the event of a short-circuit, electrodynamic forces will be exerted on the
conductors.
They must therefore be correctly sized and maintained in place using supports.
Electrical connection points on all types of devices (contactors, circuit breakers, etc.)
should not be used for mechanical support.
Ties for fexible bars and cables
The table below indicates the maximum distance between ties depending on the
prospective short-circuit current.
The maximum distance between ties attached to the switchboard frame is 400 mm.

Installation
recommendations
When installing a Compact NS100 to NS630 circuit breaker, minimum distances
(safety clearances) must be maintained between the device and panels, bars and
other protection devices installed nearby. These distances, which depend on the
ultimate breaking capacity, are defned by tests carried out in accordance with
standard IEC 60947-2.
If installation conformity is not checked by type tests, it is also necessary to:
use insulated bars for circuit-breaker connections
block off the busbars using insulating screens.
Terminal shields, interphase barriers and the insulation kit are recommended and
may be mandatory depending on the utilisation voltage and the type of installation
(fxed, withdrawable).

Mounting the circuit-breaker
It is important to distribute the weight of the device uniformily over a rigid mounting
surface such as rails or a base plate.
This mounting plane should be perfectly fat (tolerance on support fatness: 2 mm).
This eliminates any risk of deformation which could interfere with correct operation
of the circuit breaker.
Masterpact devices can also be mounted on a vertical plane using the special
brackets.

Mounted on the right or left-hand side of the
craddle, this device inhibits opening of the
cubicle door when the circuit breaker is in
connected or test position. It the breaker
is put in the connected position with the
door open, the door may be closed without
having to disconnect the circuit breaker.

This option prevents door opening when the circuit breaker is closed and prevents
circuit breaker closing when the door is open.
For this, a special plate associated with a lock and a cable is mounted on the right
side of the circuit breaker.
With this interlock installed, the source changeover function cannot be implemented.

Wiring of voltage releases
During pick-up, the power consumed is approximately 150 to 200 VA. For low control
voltages (12, 24, 48 V), maximum cable lengths are imposed by the voltage and the
cross-sectional area of cables.

Cable connections
If cables are used for the power connections, make
sure that they do not apply excessive mechanical
forces to the circuit breaker terminals.
For this, make the connections as follows:
extend the circuit breaker terminals using short bars
designed and installed according to the
recommendations for bar-type power connections:
for a single cable, use solution B opposite
for multiple cables, use solution C opposite.
in all cases, follow the general rules for connections
to busbars:
position the cable lugs before inserting the bolts
the cables should frmly secured to the framework of
the switchboard (E).

The connections are held by the support which is solidly
fxed to the framework of the switchboard, such that the
circuit breaker terminals do not have to support its
weight C. (This support should be placed close to the
terminals).

Electrodynamic stresses
The frst busbar support or spacer shall be situated within a maximum distance from
the connection point of the breaker (see table below). This distance must be
respected so that the connection can withstand the electrodynamic stresses between
phases in the event of a short circuit.

Clamping
Correct clamping of busbars depends amongst other things, on the tightening
torques used for the nuts and bolts. Over-tightening may have the same
consequences as under-tightening.
For connecting busbars (Cu ETP-NFA51-100) to the circuit breaker, the tightening
torques to be used are shown in the table below.
These values are for use with copper busbars and steel nuts and bolts, class 8.8. The
same torques can be used with AGS-T52 quality aluminium bars (French standard
NFA 02-104 or American National Standard H-35-1).

The limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is its
aptitude to limit short-circuit currents.
Ics = 100 % Icu
The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NS range greatly reduces the
forces created by fault currents in devices.
The result is a major increase in breaking performance. In particular, the service
breaking capacity Ics is equal to 100 % of Icu.
The Ics value, defned by IEC 60947-2 standard, is guaranteed by tests comprising
the following operations:
break three times consecutively a fault current equal to 100 % of Icu
check that the device continues to function normally:
it conducts the rated current without abnormal temperature rise
protection functions perform within the limits specifed by the standard
suitability for isolation is not impaired.

Longer service life of electrical installations
Current-limiting circuit breakers greatly reduce the negative effects of short-circuits
on installations.
Thermal effects
Less temperature rise in conductors, therefore longer service life for cables.
Mechanical effects
Reduced electrodynamic forces, therefore less risk of electrical contacts or bus bars
being deformed or broken.
Electromagnetic effects
Less disturbances for measuring devices located near electrical circuits.
b
b
b
The exceptional limiting capacity of the Compact NS range is
due to the rotating double-break technique (very rapid natural
repulsion of contacts and the appearance of two arc voltages
in-series with a very steep wave front).
Current-limiting curves
The current-limiting capacity of a circuit breaker is expressed by two curves which
are a function of the prospective short-circuit current (the current which would fow if
no protection devices were installed):
the actual peak current (limited current),
thermal stress (A
2
s), i.e. the energy dissipated by the short-circuit in a conductor
with a resistance of 1 W.
Example
What is the real value of a 80 kA prospective short-circuit for L/R = 15 ms limited by
an NS250 DC upstream ?
Answer: 18 kA peak (see next page).

The table above indicates that the permissible stress is 1.32x10

All short-circuit currents at the point where an NS160N (Icu = 35 kA) is installed are
limited with a thermal stress less than 6 x 10

Cable protection is therefore ensured up to the limit of the breaking capacity of the
circuit breaker.

Protection discrimination is an essential element that must be taken into account
starting at the design stage of a low voltage installation to ensure the highest level of
availability for users.
Discrimination is important in all installations for the comfort of users, however it is
fundamental in installations requiring a high level of service continuity, e.g. industrial
manufacturing processes.
Industrial installations without discrimination run a series of risks of varying
importance including:
production deadline overruns
interruption in manufacturing, entailing:
production or fnished-product losses
risk of damage to production machines in continuous processes
restarting of machines, one by one, following a general power outage
shutdown of vital safety equipment such as lubrifcation pumps, smoke fans, etc.

What is discrimination?
Discrimination, also called selectivity, is the coordination of automatic protection
devices in such a manner that a fault appearing at a given point in a network is
cleared by the protection device installed immediately upstream of the fault, and by
that device alone.
total discrimination
Discrimination is said to be total if, for all fault current values, from overloads up to
the non-resistive short-circuit current, circuit breaker D2 opens and D1 remains
closed.
partial discrimination
Discrimination is partial if the above condition is not respected up to the full short-
circuit current, but only to a lesser value termed the selectivity limit current (Is).
no discrimination
In the event of a fault, both circuit breakers D1 and D2 open.
