Identifying NEC requirements for selective coordination and its effects from energy-based circuit breaker tripping
Thursday, April 18, 2013, at 11 a.m. PT /1 p.m. CT/2 p.m. ET
A properly engineered system delivers high levels of selective coordination to allow localization of a fault at the branch level, leaving the remainder of the system undisturbed and preserving continuity of service. Optimizing trip functions can affect these critical systems. Learning objectives: • Identify NEC requirements for selective coordination and instantaneous trip functions of circuit breakers
• Discuss the limitations of using time-current curves to achieve total coordination
• Determine how to use short circuit coordination data and optimize system design – even down to 0.01 seconds
• Offer a glimpse into the future of Selective Coordination tools for delivering three-tiered circuit breaker options based on standard inputs Speaker: John Carlin, PE, Engineering Supervisor with Schneider Electric Engineering Services Central Studies Group, Lexington, Kentucky
