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.

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

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.

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

mounting board and in general-purpose electric main distribution boards

using any tools, with screwless connection on load side

and additional cage terminals for the supply to the busbar system

Fields of application

– As isolating device in meter boards for downstream

customer´s installation

2CDC 021 007 S0011

– In main distribution boards or switchgear as a selective

group or back-up protection device, especially where a

high degree of continuity of supply is required, e.g. for

installations related to “Safety Services” (IEC 60346-5-56),

“Medical Locations” (IEC 60364-7-710) etc.

– For general applications with tripping characteristic E

– For the protection of areas where high current peaks

(e.g. start-up currents) occur during operation, using

circuit-breakers with tripping characteristic K (S 750 DR)

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.

For overload tripping, a thermostatic bimetal is used,

as in the case of a standard circuit-breaker.

And also as for circuit-breakers, it is necessary to separate

main contacts quickly by using a short-circuit “hammer trip”

solenoid to ensure effective short-circuit limitation. When the

downstream protective device has tripped because of a short

circuit, the contact tips reclose again. This occurs without

auxiliary energy through a simple spring-type system.

If a short circuit occurs between the S 750 and the down

stream mcb, another bimetal release enables the short-time

delay tripping. Both the selective release and the overload

release trip the mechanism and ensure that contact tips

remain in the open position to comply with isolation require ments.

The current is limited and the arc is quenched as in the case

of circuit-breakers.

The underlying switching principle enables a special selectivity

behaviour: current-limiting selectivity. When a short circuit

occurs, the S 750 supports the downstream mcb and also

limits the energy that has an impact on the installation and –

subsequently – on the network of the supplier. The selectivity

behaviour of the S 750 offers major advantages compared to

fuse-based technologies.

Function

STOTZ selective main circuit breakers operate voltage

independent. They do not require auxiliary energy for swit

ching the device on or off or for their protection functions.

A straight forward design ensures the reliable protection

function. The functional elements consist of proven electro

mechanical components specifically designed for these

requirements.

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.

For these applications, selective main circuit breakers:

− ensure load current carrying capability over a large

temperature range;

− protect cables in the case of functional overload;

− protect cables in the case of a short circuit;

− clear high short-circuit currents reliable;

− limit the let-through current and let-through energy also

in the case of selective short-circuit disconnection by

downstream mcb

− provide disconnection and re-connection of installation,

also by ordinary people;

− provide selectivity with respect to downstream

circuit-breakers and upstream fuses;

− ensure highest availibility of electrical power supply for the customer.

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)

Selective main circuit breakers S 750 series The technology

Brief description

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.

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 continuity of supply is required, e.g. for “installations for

gathering of people”, in “medical locations” and for the

supply of safety equipment.
