Kurzbeschreibung

Selective main circuit breakers of the S 750 series fully comply with E DIN VDE 0641-21.

They operate voltage-independent, i.e. their function does not depend on auxilary source

(SHU). They are designed for mounting onto 40 mm busbar systems (4- or 5-pole, 5/10 mm x 12 mm).

Independant of current rating of S 750. short circuit discrimination of up to 10.000 A or even

higher is available for the downstream circuit-breakers.

The short-circuit capacity of the S 750 is 25 kA (system voltage 230/400 V AC) throughout the

entire range of rated current.

Due to its particular current-limiting selectivity features, STOTZ selective main circuit breakers

support downstream circuit-breakers in limiting the energy when a short circuit occurs, thus

reducing the load on the back-up fuse and the entire electrical installation.

STOTZ selective main circuit breakers are suitable to disconnect and release electric circuits.

STOTZ selective main circuit breakers can be operated by ordinary people. The contact

position is indicated clearly and unambiguously by (1) the position of the operating lever,

clearly identified by the 0-I positions, and (2) also by a separate position indicator

(RED = on, GREEN = off).

Selective main circuit breakers S 750 operate voltage-independent (VI) according to

E DIN VDE 0641-21. i.e. they do not need a control circuit to make or break a contact.

STOTZ selective main circuit breakers S 750 are available with

tripping characteristic E (E = Exact)

They are particularly suitable for the following applications:

● in the meter-mounting board as the main isolating device for the customer

●  in main distribution frames or switchgear as selective group or back-up breaker,

especially where a high degree of service safety is required, e.g. for “installations for

gathering of people”, in “medical locations” and for the supply of safety equipment.

STOTZ selective main circuit breakers fully comply with the requirements of the German

utilities directive (Technical Connection Requirements of Network Operators) concerning the

mandatory pre-meter isolation and protection functions.

Locking

The S 750 (DR) is provided with an integrated locking tab which

makes it possible to block the all poles simultaneously. The

integrated locking tab locks the circuit-breaker in ON or

OFF position and can be additionally protected by a pad

lock, wire seal or cable tie. When locked in ON position, the

protective function is maintained in case of a fault: The

blocked switch handle still permits the tripping of the me

chanism and opening of the contacts in case of overload

or short-circuit (trip-free mechanism). The indicator shows

“green” also in case of a fault with ON position locked –

giving you the certainty that power is switched off.

Function

Selective Main Circuit-Breaker series S 750 DR

ABB’s S 750 DR is used as a reliable group protec

tion device worldwide. S 750 DR is the right

choice when it comes to selectivity for critical

power application such as hospitals, airports and

data center. But also in residential application

SMCB technology has big advantages. In Germany

SMCB technology became the standard choice for

meter board application where the products

works as a group protection device for down stream circuits.

In order to avoid unauthorized manual switching

the S 750 DR. The S 750 DR is provided with an

integrated locking tab which makes it possible to

block the all poles simultaneously. 

The integrated locking tab locks the circuit-breaker in ON or OFF

position and can be additionally protected by a

padlock, wire seal or cable tie. When locked in ON

position, the protective function is maintained in

case of a fault: The blocked switch handle still

permits the tripping of the mechanism and open

ing of the contacts in case of overload or

short-circuit (trip-free mechanism). The indicator

shows “green” also in case of a fault with ON po

sition locked – giving you the certainty that power

is switched off.

Furthermore ABB offers the auxiliary contact for

the S 750 DR range. S 750 DR-AUX is a two

change-over contact that indicates the contact

position of the S 750 DR pole(s) independently

and potential-free. This helps to easily monitor individual circuits

Purpose

– Ensure power supply capability over a large temperature range

– Protect wires and cables in case of operational overload or short-circuit

– Additional limitation of let-through current and let-through

energy in case of short-circuit tripping in final circuit

– Disconnection and isolation of the system, also by ordinary people

– Special selectivity with respect to downstream circuit

breakers and upstream fuses

– Ensure a high availability of the electrical power supply

Function

ABB SMCB operate according to a voltage-independent principle.

They do not require an auxiliary source, neither for making /

breaking contact nor for the protective function. For overload

tripping, a thermostatic bimetal is used. As usual for circuit-

breakers, it is necessary to separate the main contacts in a time

less than 1ms by using a short-circuit “hammer trip” solenoid to

ensure effective short-circuit limitation. When the downstream

protection device has tripped because of a short-circuit, the

contact tips reclose automatically through a simple spring-type

system without requiring auxiliary energy.

If a short-circuit occurs between the S 750 (DR) and the

downstream circuit-breaker, another bimetal release enables

short-time delayed tripping. Both the selective release and the

overload release trip the mechanism and ensure that the contact

tips remain in the open position enabling isolating. The current

is limited and the arc is quenched as in the case of standard

circuit-breakers by means of quick contact opening by a “ham

mer trip” solenoid and quick build-up of the arc voltage in the

quenching chamber.

This operating principle achieves a particularly high selective behaviour

– the current-limiting selectivity.

In case of short-circuit in final circuits, the S 750 (DR) supports the downstream

circuit breaker and limits the energy and thus minimizes the im

pact on the whole installation and the feeding supply network.

This selective behaviour of the S 750 (DR) offers major advanta

ges compared to fuse-based technologies.

Selective main circuit-breakers of the S 750 and S 750 DR series are SMCBs

according to DIN VDE 0641-21 with voltage-independent Operating principle.

This means that they do not rely on a control circuit to make or break contact

(SHU) and are therefore particularly suitable for use in energy distribution

systems with maximum availability requirements. Two mounting variants

are available: S 750 for bus bars and S 750 DR for DIN rail mounting.
