5 Importance of Short-Circuit Current Ratings Short-Circuit: An over-current fault the exceeds normal full load currents... 10x, 100x, 1,000x of FLC Catastrophic results if SC Faults are not cleared properly SC Faults are critical to: Worker Safety Customer Applications (Critical Care, Continuous Process) Circuit Components, Assemblies & System Installations Productivity & Downtime ($100k s per hour) We forget how much power we are really discussing: 400V 480V 690V Current (A) Available Short Circuit Current (I pa) Non-Current Limiting Peak Let-Thru (I pl) Let-Thru (I 2 t) Time Clearing Time (t c) Normal Load Current Short Circuit Current 5

6 What is a Short-Circuit Current Rating? Short-Circuit Interrupting Rating (Breaking Capacity): The maximum short circuit current at rated voltage that a over-current protective device can safely interrupt and clear (Fuses & Circuit Breakers) Short-Circuit Current Rating SCCR: The maximum available short-circuit current an electrical component can sustain without the occurrence of excessive damage when protected with an over-current protective device Motor Protection Circuit Breaker Protective Device Icu/Ics = 400V Combination Motor Controllers Icu/Ics = 400V IEC Type 2 Coordination

Short-circuit current rating of a listed and labeled assembly b. Short-circuit current rating established utilizing an approved method FPN: UL 508A-2001, Supplement SB, is an example of an approved method General Use Industrial Control Panels: Construction Panels Power Circuits Control Circuits Ratings Markings Specific Use IC Panels Supplement SB: SCCR for IC Panels 11 11

12 UL 508A Supplement SB UL 508A Industrial Control Panels Panel Builders Standard Standardized process to determining SCCR for panels Limited traditional analysis methods Evaluates Voltage Ratings (Y/D Systems) Default to minimum assigned ratings Forces all power components to have high fault SCCR ratings Umbrella Testing UL Witnessed all High Fault Tests! 12

13 UL 508A SB Determining SCCR s - 3 Basic Steps UL 508A Supplement SB Short-Circuit Current Ratings for Industrial Control Panels Shall be determined by the following evaluation procedure: SB4.1: Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) a) First, establish the short circuit current ratings of individual power circuit components as specified in SB4.2 b) Second, modify (limit) the available short-circuit current within a portion of a circuit in the panel due to the presence of current limiting components as specified in SB4.3 c) Third, determine the overall panel short-circuit current rating as specified in SB4.4 13

14 UL 508A SB4.2 Individual Power Circuit Components SB4.2.1 All power circuit components, including disconnect switches, branch circuit protective devices, branch circuit fuse holders, load controllers, motor overload relays, terminal blocks, and bus bars, shall have a short-circuit current rating expressed in amperes or kilo-amperes and voltage. Exception No. 1: Power transformers, reactors, current transformers, dry-type capacitors, resistors, varistors, and voltmeters are not required to have a short circuit current rating. Exception No. 2: The S contactor of a wye-delta motor controller is not required to have a shortcircuit current rating. 14

15 UL 508A SB4.3 Feeder Devices that Limit SC Current SB4.3 Feeder components that limit the short-circuit current available: SB4.3.1 For branch circuits supplied by a power transformer with an isolated secondary winding, a power transformer with an isolated secondary SB4.3.2 For branch circuits supplied by a Listed circuit breaker marked current limiting in the feeder circuit, the short circuit current rating SB4.3.3 For branch circuits supplied by a Class CC, G, J, L, RK1, RK5, or T fuse in the feeder circuit, the short-circuit current rating 15

16 UL 508A SB4.3 Current-Limiting Components SB4.3.2 For branch circuits supplied by a Listed circuit breaker marked current-limiting in the feeder circuit, the short-circuit current rating on the line side of the circuit breaker shall be one of the following: a) The short-circuit current rating of the feeder circuit breaker when all of the components in the branch circuit have a shortcircuit current rating not less than the published peak letthrough current of the circuit breaker, see Figure SB4.1, and the short-circuit current rating of all branch circuit protective devices on the load side are not less than the short-circuit current rating of the feeder circuit breaker; Feeder CB Current Limiting 65kA SCCR 65kA SCC Available 17kA Ip Let-through b) The smallest short-circuit current rating of any branch circuit protective device on the load side of the feeder circuit breaker, when the conditions of SB4.3.2(a) exist except the short-circuit current rating of the branch circuit protective devices on the load side are less than the short-circuit current rating of the feeder circuit breaker. c Branch Circuit PD 65kA SCCR Motor Controller 18kA SCCR a) 65kA Panel SCCR 16

17 UL 508A SB4.4 Overall SCCR of the Panel 10kA 100kA SB4.4.1 For each branch circuit provided with branch circuit protection within the industrial control panel, the smallest short-circuit current rating of all power circuit components on the load side of a branch circuit protective device and the control circuit over-current protection in SB3.2.1 shall be determined and compared with the short-circuit current rating of the branch circuit protective device. The smaller of the two ratings shall be assigned to the line side of the branch circuit protective device. 65kA 70kA 65kA In other words, use the lowest rating of a component or branch protective device to determine branch rating. 10kA Panel Rating 17

18 UL 508A SB4.4 Panel SCCR Validate Results 1. Panel SCCR will be determined by the smallest SCCR of any feeder or branch over-current protective device or component Available Fault Current: 480V 2. Branch Circuit Protection Devices, BCPDs must cover panel available fault level 3. All components and controllers with SCCR s based on high-fault ratings must be used with the specified branch circuit protective device 4. And finally, the panel SCCR must cover the available fault current supplying the panel! 18
