  4. Highlights from 2005 NEC Article 409

  5. Overview of Supplement SB from UL 508A

  6. Overview of Supplement SB from UL 508A • Paragraph SB3.2.1 states that the primary short circuit protective device for the Control Circuit is also included in the calculation for the SCCR for the Power Circuit. • Therefore, the SCCR of a Supplementary Protector or set of Fuses used on the primary side of a Control Power Transformer are included in the determination of the SCCR of the Control Panel. • Control Circuit Components downstream of these devices would not be included in the calculation of the SCCR • Examples of Control Circuit Components: Control Circuit Components are not included in the Panel SCCR calculation

  7. Overview of Supplement SB from UL 508A • SB4.2 - Determine the SCCR of Individual Power Circuit Components • From the device markings • From a UL Table that lists the assumed max SCCR for unmarked components • From Manufacturer’s UL listed Combination Motor Controller testing of multiple components • SB4.3 - Modify the SCCR when using Current Limiting Feeder Components • Review the Peak Let-through Currents • Current Limiting Circuit Breakers • Fuses • SB4.4 - Determine the SCCR of the Control Panel based on the lowest SCCR of any component or circuit

  8. Overview of Supplement SB from UL 508A • SB4.2 - Determine the SCCR of Individual Power Circuit Components • From the device markings • From a UL Table that lists the assumed max SCCR for unmarked components • From Manufacturer’s UL listed Combination Motor Controller testing of multiple components • SB4.3 - Modify the SCCR when using Current Limiting Feeder Components • Review the Peak Let-through Currents • Current Limiting Circuit Breakers • Fuses • SB4.4 - Determine the SCCR of the Control Panel based on the lowest SCCR of any component or circuit

  23. UL Listed High SCCR for SIRIUS Component Assemblies with Breakers, Fuses & MSPs This data can be used by the customer for calculation of their panel SCCR, but it can not be posted to the UL website

  24. UL Listed High SCCR for SIRIUS Component Assemblies with Breakers, Fuses & MSPs } UL Files for Support Documentation

  25. UL Listed High SCCR for SIRIUS Component Assemblies with Breakers, Fuses & MSPs • Excerpt from the UL File for 3RT102 Contactors The customer can provide copies of these reports to UL, if requested

  26. PD&C Internet Resource Center for SCCRs Link to UL Website

  27. UL Website for SCCR for Combination Motor Controller Components

  28. UL Website for SCCR for Combination Motor Controller Components Alphabetized, so we will move down the list as more competitors are added

  29. UL Website for SCCR for Combination Motor Controller Components Same as the Summary file on the Siemens Website

  31. Overview of Supplement SB from UL 508A • SB4.2 - Determine the SCCR of Individual Power Circuit Components • From the device markings • From a UL Table that lists the assumed max SCCR for unmarked components • From Manufacturer’s UL listed Combination Motor Controller testing of multiple components • SB4.3 - Modify the SCCR when using Current Limiting Feeder Components • Review the Peak Let-through Currents • Current Limiting Circuit Breakers • Fuses • SB4.4 - Determine the SCCR of the Control Panel based on the lowest SCCR of any component or circuit

  32. SB4.3 – Current Limiting Devices

  33. SB4.3 – Current Limiting Devices • Example 1: Standard Breaker • ED63B100 100A 25 kA @480V • All components downstream have a rating of at least 25 kA • Panel SCCR = 25 kA • Example 2: Current Limiting Breaker • CED63B100 100A 200 kA @480V • At 100 kA the CED63 has a peak let through current of 22 kA • All components downstream have a rating of at least 25 kA • All components have a SCCR higher than 22 kA • Panel SCCR = 100 kA 22 kA 100 kA

  34. Overview of Supplement SB from UL 508A • SB4.2 - Determine the SCCR of Individual Power Circuit Components • From the device markings • From a UL Table that lists the assumed max SCCR for unmarked components • From Manufacturer’s UL listed Combination Motor Controller testing of multiple components • SB4.3 - Modify the SCCR when using Current Limiting Feeder Components • Review the Peak Let-through Currents • Current Limiting Circuit Breakers • Fuses • SB4.4 - Determine the SCCR of the Control Panel based on the lowest SCCR of any component or circuit

  39. SCCR Control Panel Calculation Examples

  40. Process Flow Charts • Determination of the SCCR of a Component (SB4.2) • Determination of the SCCR with Current Limiting Feeder Components (SB4.3) • Determination of the SCCR of the Control Panel (SB4.4)

  41. What does this mean to Siemens? • We must focus on SCCR Ratings as a competitive advantage for our customers • Customers will migrate to tested combinations • Focus will be on single manufacturers for Power Circuit Components • Lack of focus may cause loss of breaker sales to fuses • Use tested combinations as advantage to displace niche and emerging competitors • Testing combinations is expensive and time consuming • It is unlikely that Manufacturers will test with competitor’s products • OEMs would have to submit their panel at their expense when not using combination tested components • What to do when Customers request SCCRs for individual components • Clarify Request • Individual Components • Tested Combinations • Use E-mail script from SiteScape • Send them to our on-line Resource Center

  42. Issues / Comments • Not all States have adopted the 2005 Code • Inspectors have not been trained on UL 508A SCCR process • If we don’t educate our customers, our competitors will • Talk with confidence

  43. Summary of Resources • On-line Resource Center • White Paper • Combination Motor Controller files • Additional UL files for non-Combination testing • Link to Official UL Website for SCCRs by competitor • Links to Standards Organizations for additional information • SiteScape • A copy of this Power Point • Folder Path: Product Information / Controls – D, Dx, T, V Modules / General • File Name: SCCR Overview UL508A NEC409 May 11 2006.PPT • E-mail Script for Customer Inquiries • Folder Path: Product Information / Controls – D, Dx, T, V Modules / General • File Name: SCCR E-mail Script.doc

  44. Next Steps • Continue testing combinations to fill in gaps • SIRIUS Contactors & Overload Relays with Sentron breakers • SIRIUS 3RW4 Soft Starters (testing complete, must be posted) • Test NEMA, IEC & DP with new Circuit Breakers • NGG • EG • 3VL • Develop a database for Minimum SCCRs by Component • Develop a search engine for SCCRs • Individual Components • Combination Motor Controller Components • Continue to post up-to-date information to the Internet Resource Center • Siemens will sponsor a Webcast with Plant Engineering Magazine
