Long-time protection
The long-time protection function protects cables (phases and neutral) against
overloads. This function is based on true rms measurements.

Thermal memory
The thermal memory continuously accounts for the amount of heat in the cables,
both before and after tripping, whatever the value of the current (presence of an
overload or not). The thermal memory optimises the long-time protection function
of the circuit breaker by taking into account the temperature rise in the cables.
The thermal memory assumes a cable cooling time of approximately 15 minutes.

 Short-time protection
c the short-time protection function protects the distribution system against
impedant short-circuits.
c the short-time tripping delay can be used to ensure discrimination with
a downstream circuit breaker.
c this function carries out true rms measurements.

c the I2t ON and I2t OFF options enhance discrimination with downstream
protection devices.
c use of I2t curves with short-time protection:
v I2t OFF selected: the protection function implements a constant time curve;
v I2t ON selected: the protection function implements an I2t inverse-time curve up to
10 Ir. Above 10 Ir, the time curve is constant.

Protection of the fourth pole on four-pole circuit breakers

Protection of the neutral conductor depends on the distribution system.
There are three possibilities:

Type of neutral Description

Neutral unprotected The distribution system does not require protection
of the neutral conductor.
Neutral protection The cross-sectional area of the neutral conductor is half
at 0.5 In that of the phase conductors.
c the long-time current setting Ir for the neutral is equal
to half the setting value
c the short-time pick-up Isd for the neutral is equal
to half the setting value
c the instantaneous pick-up Isd (Micrologic 2.0)
for the neutral is equal to half the setting value
c the instantaneous pick-up Ii (Micrologic 5.0)
for the neutral is equal to the setting value
Neutral protection at In The cross-sectional area of the neutral conductor is equal
to that of the phase conductors.
c the long-time current setting Ir for the neutral is equal
to the setting value
c the short-time pick-up Isd for the neutral is equal
to the setting value
c the instantaneous pick-ups Isd and Ii for the neutral
are equal to the setting value

Technical appendix Thermal memory

Thermal memory
The thermal memory is a means to simulate temperature rise and cooling caused
by changes in the flow of current in the conductors.

These changes may be caused by:

c repetitive motor starting;
c loads fluctuating near the protection settings;
c repeated circuit-breaker closing on a fault.

Control units without a thermal memory (contrary to bimetal strip thermal

protection) do not react to the above types of overloads because they do not
last long enough to cause tripping.
However, each overload produces a temperature rise and the cumulative effect
can lead to dangerous overheating.

Control units with a thermal memory record the temperature rise caused
by each overload. Even very short overloads produce a temperature rise
that is stored in the memory.
This information stored in the thermal memory reduces the tripping time.

Micrologic control units and thermal memory

All Micrologic control units are equipped as standard with a thermal memory.

c for all protection functions, prior to tripping, the temperature-rise and cooling time
constants are equal and depend on the tripping delay in question:
v if the tripping delay is short, the time constant is low;
v if the tripping delay is long, the time constant is high.

c for long-time protection, following tripping, the cooling curve is simulated

by the control unit. Closing of the circuit breaker prior to the end of the time
constant (approximately 15 minutes) reduces the tripping time indicated
in the tripping curves.
