IntroductionThe VL family of circuit breakers by Siemens utilizes a compact andmodular design which can be configured to suit a wide range ofratings and applications. Designed for global requirements, thesebreakers include the following standards and markings:

UL (UL 489)CSA (CSA-C22.2) NOM (NMX-J-266-ANCE-2002) 1)IEC (IEC-60947-2)CE (EN 60947-2)CCC1)

The range of frames includes 150A to 1600A and each rating is available with interchangeable trip units. The frames are available in three (3) interrupting ratings classes:

N – NormalH – HighL – Very High

The assortment of trip units allows a choice of trip functions andeach trip unit features adjustable settings. The interchangeable tripunits are available in three (3) varieties as well:Model 525 – Thermal-magneticModel 545 – ElectronicModel 576 – Electronic with LCD display

The VL family also includes Molded Case Switches, Motor CircuitProtectors, special 600V DC breakers, and other complete breakerswith non-interchangeable trip units.

Internal accessories are field installable and are conveniently located in pockets behind the front accessory cover. To simplifythe selection of accessories, just two (2) groups of internal accessories cover the entire VL product family. To accommodatethe wide variety of application requirements for connecting,mounting, and operating the breakers, a wide range of externalaccessories is also available. Some of these accessories are listed in this guide.

VL circuit breakers have been tested for series connected short circuit ratings. Refer to the website for more information.

Maximum Recommended Connection Voltage Comments

DC switchingThe DG through PG frame circuit breakers with thermal-magnetictrip units, as motor circuit protectors, or as molded case switchesare suitable for switching and protecting DC circuits.

The DG through PG frame circuit breakers with electronic trip unitsare not suitable for DC currents.

For switching DC currents, the maximum allowable DC voltage perconducting path has to be considered.��

For voltages greater than 250V, the series connection of 2 or 3 conducting paths is required. To maintain the thermal-trippingcharacteristics, the current needs to flow through all conductingpaths. Recommended circuit arrangements are shown below.

With DC applications, the operating values of the instantaneousvalues are increased by 30 to 40%

Technical dataUnusual Operating Conditions ReferenceNote: The information provided on this and the next page is intended for reference andrecommendation only. Because several variablescan act on a circuit breaker’s performance at thesame time, the data below is based less on controlled testing, than on experience and engineering judgment. Contact Siemens for further information on special conditions and treatment.

High Ambient TemperaturesBecause thermal-magnetic trip breakers are temperature sensitive and calibrated for a specific ambient of 40° C (104° F) (averageenclosure temperature), a higher ambient willcause the breaker to trip at lower current than its nameplate rating, in other words, causing thebreaker to “derate” (see Table 1). Similarly, thecurrent carrying capacity of a circuit conductor is based upon a certain ambient temperature, ahigher ambient will reduce its current carryingcapacity, causing it to “derate.” Thus, with afluctuating temperature, a thermal-magneticbreaker will derate nearly parallel with its connected circuit conductors and maintain closecircuit protection. If the application temperatureexceeds 40° C (104° F) and is known, either abreaker specially calibrated for the higher ambient or one oversized according to Table 1may be selected. In a case such as this, the circuit conductors should be oversized as well.

Siemens Electronic Trip Unit Breakers are insensitive to temperature changes. However,they do include circuitry to protect the components from abnormally high temperatures.

AltitudeReduced air density at altitudes greater than6600 ft. (2000 meters) affects the ability of a molded case circuit breaker to transfer heat and interrupt faults. Therefore, circuit breakers applied at these altitudes should have interrupting, insulation and continuous currents derated as indicated in Figure1.��

Unusual Operating Conditions Reference400 Hz Systems ��Circuit Breaker Derating RequiredThis table lists the maximum continuouscurrent carrying capacity for Siemensbreakers at 400Hz. Due to the increasedresistance of the copper sections resultingfrom the skin effect produced by eddy currentsat these frequencies, circuit breakers in manycases require derating. The thermal deratingon these devices is based upon 100%, threephase application in open air in a maximum of 40°C (104° F) with 48 in. (1219 mm) of the specified cable or bus at the line and loadside. Additional derating of not less than 20%will be required if the circuit breaker is to be utilized in an enclosure. Further derating may be required if the enclosure ambient temperature exceeds 40°C(104° F).

Cable and Bus SizingThe cable and bus sizes to be utilized at 400Hzare not based on standard National ElectricCodes tables for 60Hz application. Larger crosssections are necessary at 400Hz. All bus barsspecified are based upon mounting the bars inthe vertical plane to allow maximum air flow.All bus bars are spaced at a minimum of 0.25in. (6 mm) apart. Mounting of bus bars in thehorizontal plane will necessitate additionaldrafting. Edgewise orientation of the bus maychange the maximum ratings indicated. Ifadditional information is required for otherconnections of cable or bus, contact Siemensfor information.

Application RecommendationsIt is recommended that temperatures bemeasured on the line and load terminals or T-connectors of the center pole. These

are usually the hottest terminals with a balanced load. A maximum temperature of 75°C (35°C over a maximum ambient of 40° C) would verify the particular application.Temperature profiles taken on these breakerscan be correlated to ensure that the hottestpoints within the breaker are within therequired temperature limits.

Interrupting Rating Circuit breakers used in 400 Hz systems are limited to a 5000 A interrupting rating. If higher ratings are required, consult Siemens.
