Adjustment factors for maximum allowable current for

MDWP and MDWS
The sizing of miniature circuit breakers must be optimized to provide safety and avoid untimely tripping, like premature thermal tripping.
In continuous operation, the characteristics of the installation place, such as altitude, ambient temperature and surrounding devices,
directly influence the characteristics of the thermal tripping. To avoid undue tripping, the following sizing factors must be taken into
account to determine the new rated current of miniature circuit breakers:

J Sizing factor for altitude

J Ambient temperature factor for the place where the miniature circuit breaker will be installed

Sizing factor for altitude

Environments located more than 2,000 meters above sea level have low atmospheric pressure. The lower the atmospheric pressure,
the lower the thermal dissipation of the heat generated by the miniature circuit breaker. To compensate for this effect, the following
factors must be applied when sizing the product rated current.

Altitude (m) Rated current factor In Rated voltage factor Ue

2,000 1 1
3,000 0.96 0.88
4,000 0.93 0.78
5,000 0.90 0.68

Ambient temperature factor for the place where the miniature circuit
breaker will be installed
The tripping characteristics and the miniature circuit breakers are affected by the ambient temperature. The following table shows the
withstand current according to the ambient temperature. When installed inside any enclosure, the temperature inside the enclosure
with all surrounding devices connected must be considered as ambient temperature, since the dissipated power of the surrounding
devices influences the temperature rise inside the enclosure. In miniature circuit breakers, the following sizing factors must be applied
when sizing the product current.

Residential applications (IEC 60898-1)

For residential applications, the rated temperature for the table is 30 °C. The table below shows the rated current with ambient temperature
factor from -35 °C to +70 °C.

Adjustment factors for maximum allowable current for

miniature circuit breaker MDW and MDWH
The sizing of miniature circuit breakers must be optimized to provide safety and avoid untimely tripping, like premature thermal
tripping. In continuous operation, the characteristics of the installation place, such as altitude, ambient temperature and
surrounding devices, directly influence the characteristics of the thermal tripping.
To avoid undue tripping, the following sizing factors must be taken into account to determine the new rated current of
miniature circuit breakers:
J Sizing factor for altitude
J Sizing factor due to the influence of adjacent devices (grouping)

Sizing factor for altitude

Environments located more than 2,000 meters above sea level have low atmospheric pressure. The lower the atmospheric
pressure, the lower the thermal dissipation of the heat generated by the miniature circuit breaker. To compensate for this
effect, the following factors must be applied when sizing the product rated current.

Altitude (m) ≤ 2,000 ≤ 3,000 ≤ 4,000 ≤ 5,000

Sizing factor for ambient temperature where the miniature circuit

breakers are installed
WEG miniature circuit breakers are calibrated to operate at an ambient temperature of 30 °C. The following table shows the
withstand current according to the ambient temperature.
When installed inside any enclosure, the temperature inside the enclosure with all surrounding devices connected must be
considered as ambient temperature, since the dissipated power of the surrounding devices influences the temperature rise
inside the enclosure.
In miniature circuit breakers, the following sizing factors must be applied when sizing the product current.

Sizing factor for the influence of surrounding devices (grouping)

When 2 or more miniature circuit breakers are mounted side by side and operate simultaneously, the thermal dissipation of
these devices is reduced. In this case, the grouping factor 0.8 must be used to multiply the rated current of the miniature
circuit breakers.

Constant long-duration loads

In applications where the rated load will be constantly switched on for periods over one hour, such as solar generation and
electric vehicle charging stations, the use of WEG MDWH miniature circuit breakers is recommended.

Switch-disconnectors - SIW

Safe disconnection in your

electrical installations
The SIW switch-disconnectors have the same frames as the MDW miniature circuit breakers in the two,
three and four-pole versions, but they do not have thermal and magnetic releases, that is, they do not
have tripping characteristic curves. Their function is to disconnect electrical circuits with currents up to
100 A. The SIW switch-disconnectors also feature auxiliary contact blocks and padlock supplied
as accessories.

surge suppressors

Safety and protection for

your electrical network

SPW02 SPW12 SPWC

Available in the single-phase, plug-in version for degree of protection I and II, the products of the
SPW02 and SPWC lines are protection devices against voltage surges in the power line.

Developed in versions with or without remote signaling contact, the SPW02 and SPWC lines feature
visual signaling to indicate the moment to replace the protection module, and they are divided into four
models, according to the prospective maximum discharge current (wave 8/20 µs): 12, 20, 40 and 60 kA.
Removable protection modules are supplied as replacement accessories to all the models.
The new line of SPW12 surge suppressors was developed for Direct Current (DC) applications and
can also protect your photovoltaic system against induced surges, ensuring greater and better
protection for your loads and your distributed generation system.

Degree of protection Signaling contact connector

(for SPWC only)

The surge protectors Class I are indicated for locals subject to direct and high
Removable protection
intensity strokes, typical characteristic of installations and buildings supplied module
directly by overhead distribution power lines exposed to lightning discharges.
It is recommended the installation of the surge protector class I in the input point
of the power line in the building.
For locals where the power grid is subject to indirect lightning discharges, typical
case of internal installations of homes and/or buildings supplied by embedded/
Input standard:
underground power lines, the surge protectors Class II are recommended. It is Class 1
recommended the installation on the switch board panel. Class 2

For surge suppressors Class I/II, both functions aforementioned are present in
the same product. Namely, protection against the direct and indirect effects
resulting from a lightning discharge.

Notes: 1) The connection to the MEB or PE bar depends on where exactly the surge protectors will be installed and how the MEB is actually implemented. Therefore, the connection
will be to the MEB when:
- The MEB is located upstream the main distribution board (with the MEB located, as it should be, in the immediate surroundings of the input point of the power line in the
building), and the surge protectors are installed onto the MEB and not on the board; or
- The surge protectors are installed on the main distribution board of the building, and the PE bar of the board accumulates the MEB function. As a result, the connection will
be done to the PE bar itself when the surge protectors are installed on the distribution board, and the PE bar of the board does not accumulate the MEB function.
2) The hypothesis configures a scheme that enters TN-C and the installation continues TN-C, or that enters TN-C and then turns into TN-S. The input neutral, necessarily PEN,
must be grounded to the MEB direct or indirectly. The passage from the TN-C to TN-S scheme, with the separation of the incoming PEN conductor into neutral conductor
and PE conductor, would be done on the main distribution board (globally, the scheme is TN-C-S).
3) The hypothesis configures three possible grounding schemes: TT (with neutral), IT with neutral and line that enters the building already in TN-S scheme.
4) There are situations in which one of the two schemes becomes mandatory, like in the case mentioned in item b of 6.3.5.2.6 (ABNT NBR 5410:2004).

It is necessary to use additional protection when the SPW installation busbar has a short circuit level above 5 kA. For those
cases, the additional protection must be provided by means of one of the following alternatives:

The additional protection must be the same or bigger than the circuit breaking capacity where the surge protection is installed considering:
J Provide the continous energy supply to the installation. In this case, the additional protection will protect the surge protector and maintain
the energy supply to the installation. It is necessary to replace the additional protection in order to keep the installed protect against new
overvoltages discharges. We suggest to use auxiliary contacts in order to indicate the occurrence of a discharge.
J Continuity of surge protection: in this case, the additional protection of the surge protector is the same protection of the installation.
When protecting the surge protector, the protection will also cut of the energy of the installation.

Appendix 1: association of circuit breakers — cascading

Cascading or backup protection is the association of two circuit breakers in series for protection against short circuit and
overload, as shown in Figure 1. Normally, the device located on the supply/feeding side (C2) performs the protection, and it
can trip with or without the help of the device located on the load side (C1) such association ensures the performance of the
circuit protection without causing excessive stress and/or wear to the protection devices. In this kind of configuration, the
output or load circuit breaker (C1) may have a short-circuit breaking capacity smaller than the short-circuit current rms value
(Icp) of the power supply that feeds this circuit. The income circuit-breaker (C2) or both can trip when a short circuit occurs in
the system they protect. This kind of association allows reducing the breaking capacity Icu of the output circuit breaker (C1),
making this association cheaper.

According to NBR IEC 60947-2 / Annex A, all the arrangements that have cascading characteristics are normally tested so as
to ensure the aforementioned performance. The following tables contain the possible association of circuit breakers as a
function of the system rated voltage and prospective short-circuit current. These tables indicate the maximum short-circuit
breaking capacity (Icu) that the income (C2-supply) and output (C1-load) circuit breaker association withstands.

The breaking capacities reinforced by cascading indicated in the tables are valid for output circuit breakers (C1) with 1P,
1P + N, 2P, 3P or 4P.

The association described above is not restricted to two consecutive circuit breakers, but to all the circuit breakers installed
downstream from the income circuit-breaker (C2).

We are not necessarily limited to using the circuit breakers combined in the same switchboard. They may belong to different
switchboards/panels.

Icc

Icc = Rated conditional short-circuit current (rms)

Icu ≥ Icc

Icu1 < Icc Icu2 < Icc Icu = Final short-circuit breaking capacity of the device
