Product Information

In other words, adding together CE marked products from one manufacturer with another’s CE marked products does not necessarily equal a CE marked assembly which is compliant with BS EN 61439. This may also be true when mixing product ranges from the same manufacturer. This is reinforced in Note 1 of regulation 536.4.203 which states that ‘ The use of individual components complying with their respective product standards does not indicate their compatibility when installed with other components in a low voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly.’ That just because individual components conform to their respective product standards and are UKCA marked, it does not indicate their compatibility for integration into an assembly.

Additionally, any commercial, industrial, or public building that is supplied by overhead lines requires surge protection – so the majority of buildings will require surge protection. Residential properties will depend on use and occupancy levels. When carrying out an earth loop impedance test you are carrying out the test under normal conditions, so to take into account of the rise in cable temperature under fault conditions we need to apply the 0.8 correction factor to the maximum Zs value, therefore 1.37 * 0.8 = 1.096 (rounded to 1.1) which you then compare to your test results. At time zero, phase A is zero, but phase W is negative, say by a couple of volts. Then at time 1/240 phase A is at its positive peak, but phase W is slightly below. A teensy bit later, phase A is on its way down, and phase W hits its peak. And so on through the cycle. Both phases have the same amplitude, but hit their peaks at different times. There is usually a slightly different voltage between the two, but since sometimes A is more positive and sometimes W is more positive, the two graphs _must_ cross. The Cmin factor is applied to the voltage to earth (Uo), so if the voltage is 230 the calculation would be 230×0.95 = 218.5 volts. One of the more common types of BS 3871 circuit breaker found on installations is the Crabtree C50 which was produced in single phase and 3 phase versions. These are all Type 2 circuit breakers and their fault current rating can be determined by the infill paint in the operating handle. White paint infill indicates a 3kA rating and yellow paint indicates a 4.5kA rating.The reference calibration temperature for types B,Cor D shall be 30 'Cand for types 1, 2,3 and 4 shall be either Before delving into the detail of this change, as ever it pays to start at the beginning – namely the Fundamental Principles of Part 1. Of note here is that a protective device may conform to the appropriate product standard (e.g. BS EN 60898) and be UKCA marked. If the devices are from different manufacturers, they are likely to be designed differently and will perform differently – though both may comply with the appropriate safety requirements of BS EN 60898. On a slightly more benign note, circuit-breakers are designed to run warm in normal conditions when carrying load current. The thermal performance of the assembly is considered in BS EN 61439 to ensure that the internal temperature is not excessive and the operation of protective devices is not impaired – when excessively warm for example, the thermal overload operating current of a device will reduce, potentially causing premature operation. Excessive temperatures may affect the control circuits of electronic equipment mounted in the enclosure. WHY used square root 3 in calculation –> this is the answer,please read discussion on this forum : http://www.electrical-contractor.net/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/129279/1_732_square_root_of_3_where_d.html

Knowing the right type of device to install is essential to protect equipment in all types of buildings, as is reflected in the evolving guidance. The last bit is to ask ‘how do I calculate the voltage difference between two phases with some other phase angle?’ Clearly this is some function of the amplitude of the phases, and also a function of the phase angle between them. Simplify the question by stating that both phase A and phase W have the same phase to neutral RMS voltage V. Call the phase angle between these two phases T. The voltage between the phases is then given by V * 2 * sin(T/2). So for the 180 degree phase difference we get V * 2 * sin(180/2) = V *2 MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker ( BS 3871 ) is a mechanical device operate automatic operation designed to connect and disconnect the electrical circuit in the ordinary and extraordinary situation.Suitable for AC and DC voltage.It mean main function is to protected equipment or circuit from overload and short circuit. All SPDs work by diverting surge currents to earth to reduce the over-voltage to a level that will not damage the components of the system or equipment connected to it. There are three types of surge protection devices: Type 1The reference calibration temperature for types B, C or D shallbe 30 'C and for types 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 shall be either Virtually every building in the UK, regardless of use, will contain electrical devices and equipment, which are central to everyday living and convenience. However, transient over-voltages, also known as power surges, can seriously damage these pieces of equipment. Damaged equipment not only incurs the expense of repair or replacement but also further, long term costs such as lost data if storage devices are damaged. New Requirements So the Zs calculation formula for a 0.1s to 5s disconnection time for a BS EN 60898 MCB or BS 3871 to calculate the maximum Zs would be: The regulation in question, 536.4.203, was introduced by BEAMA (the UK trade association for manufacturers of electrical equipment including switchgear) to warn designers and installers of the possible dangers of mixing devices from different product ranges or manufacturers in the same distribution board; mainly, but not exclusively, circuit-breakers. When installing a new final circuit for example, if there is spare space in a consumer unit and a circuit-breaker that appears to fit is to hand, it is tempting to use it. Another example is replacing a circuit-breaker with an RCBO to afford better protection for the user. The correction factor is 0.8, this 0.8 correction factor is to allow for the rise in temperature under fault conditions.

K~ 145 for rubbers and 115 for PVC insulation , with certain assumptions about starting temperature.

Now, imagine that I start delaying phase W more and more. As I do so, it gets more and more different from phase A. The sine wave that is the difference between phase A and phase W gets larger and larger. Eventually this resultant sine wave is actually _greater_ than phase A. This difference sine wave reaches its peak when phase W is exactly 1/2 cycle from phase A, meaning that the +peak of A corresponds to the -peak of W. At this point, the amplitude of the _difference_ between the two phases is twice the amplitude of each phase alone. This is to say that if phase A is 277V relative to neutral, and phase W is 277V relative to neutral, and 180degrees out of phase with phase A, then the voltage A to W is 534V.
