Branch Rated & Supplementary Circuit Protection

Branch Rated & Supplementary Circuit Protection

Weidmuller’s DIN-rail mounted circuit breakers are an
essential part of our Electronics portfolio, with functionality
that provides protection from damaging over-currents in
motor and control circuits.

A wide range of these products are UL 489 listed for branch

circuit protection, and other devices are UL recognized as
supplementary protectors, suitable for applications where
branch circuit protection is already installed or not required.

The narrow width of many of these products helps users

to minimize the size and cost of the enclosure, and the
availability of accessories such as auxiliary contacts, touch
protection, lockable levers and busbar assemblies provide for
a safe and dependable installation.

Supplementary Circuit Breakers

Supplementary Circuit Protection

Compared to traditional fuse installation, the UL1077/CSA C22.2

No.235 compliant circuit breakers listed here assist with the
complex task of selecting correct types and characteristics and offer
a less bulky installation solution. Our range of miniature, molded-
case circuit breakers, in combination with our accessories for
factory or on-site installation, offer enhanced control and monitoring
capabilities. Installation kits include all parts and instructions to
make the on-site job easy.

We supply UL1077/CSA C22.2 No.235 compliant 1, 2 and 3-pole-

type circuit breakers from 0.5 to 60 Ampere and with type C
and D characteristics.

Attachments such as neutral switches, auxiliary contacts and shunt

The 9926 circuit breakers do not have provisions for marking tags. A pos-
sible solution is to cut the adhesive SchS2 tag rail to length (approximately
20 mm on a single pole unit so the current rating remains visible or approx-
imately 30 mm on a two pole unit). The SchS2 accepts DEK, WS and ESG
8/17 marking tags. The part number for adhesive SchS2 is 1720600000.

SPD II 1 Series

SPD II 1 - Surge Protectors for AC Power Distribution

SPD II PV - Surge Protectors for DC Photovoltaic Installations

Weidmuller’s SPD II 1 series transient voltage surge protectors

consist of a range of innovative, compact modules for the
protection of low voltage AC distribution systems or (PV models)
for DC photovoltaic installations. In AC applications, the SPD II 1
would be installed downstream of the main circuit breaker and
fuse(s), connected between each live conductor to be protected
and ground. For multi-phase circuits, multiple modules are used
with jumper options between ground terminals and permitting
a single connection to ground. In photovoltaic applications,
the SPD II 1 PV would typically be in a combiner enclosure
protecting the DC output and return conductor to ground.
Voltage limiting technology is integrated, which differentiates
between transient pulses and longer-lasting overvoltages. This
circuitry eliminates the disadvantages of varistor devices (MOVs)
which, in competitive products, may switch-on inadvertently
in conditions where the supply voltage is not well-regulated.
Weidmuller’s hybrid arrester design ensures efficient MOV
operation and hence conserves energy, maximizes the operating
lifetime of the arrester and eliminates arcing when the thermal
disconnect operates.
Each module is a two-part construction, comprising a TS35 DIN-
rail mountable base and a pluggable replaceable arrester, with
each single-conductor assembly only 18mm wide. Products are
specified by their working voltage level, or maximum continuous
operating voltage (MCOV) and each has a maximum surge
current rating of 50kA.
Base/arrester assemblies are available either with or without a
remote signaling option and arresters are available as spare parts.
• Models for LV AC distribution or photovoltaic installations
• Quick replacement with spare pluggable, replaceable arresters
• Nominal voltages up to 480VAC (550V MCOV) or 1200VDC
• Maximum surge current (Imax) 50kA
• Remote status signaling option
• UL1449 Ed3 approved and CSA equivalent
• No discharge path fuse needed (Type 2)

SPD II & III - AC Surge Protectors

SPD II & III - AC Surge Protector

The SPD II range of surge protectors are used for
transient surge protection of single and multi-phase power
circuits at the main electrical panel. SPD IIIs are for the pro-
tection of individual electrical devices. They provide com-
mon-mode protection (between each Line and Ground),
with impulse discharge capacity (Imax) 40kA for SPD II
and 20kA for SPD III.

The SPD design is based on high-energy varistors (MOVs)

equipped with thermal disconnects and integral failure
indicators. A remote signaling contact for disconnection
indication is standard on each unit. For ease of replace-
ment, varistors are housed in pluggable modules with
connections that are mechanically keyed to the base to
prevent incorrect arrestor module replacement.

Typical applications include low voltage distribution or

protection of industrial control systems, equipment
assemblies and devices.

Lightning and surge protection for control and instrumentation signals

Essential information for users can be found in the IEC 61643-22 standard (application standard for measurement and
control signals) and in the IEC 62305-4 standard (application standard for installing internal lightning protection).
It is important to determine which protection category is required. There are divisions for D1 (lightning protection), C2 (surge
protection / overvoltage protection) and C1 (end device protection). These categories or classes are specified for the
following products. All products were subjected to a test in accordance with product standard IEC 61643-21:2008.

VARITECTOR SPC

VARITECTOR SPC
Pluggable lightning and surge protection for measurement and control circuits

Pluggable lightning and surge protection for 2 analog signals or

4 binary signals in measurement/control circuits – with integrated error
detection and alert functions in only 17.8 mm width.

Our pluggable VARITECTOR SPC surge protection is characterised by highest

protective functions with compact dimensions. The arrestor of the modules can
be removed, measured or exchanged during running operation impedance-neutral
– without interrupting the measuring circuit. These features make this product
the ideal secure protection mechanism for interfaces within instrumentation and
control circuits.

Maintenance intervals are simplified by the V-TEST test unit, which is used for
testing the function of the VARITECTOR SPC. This test method satisfies the
requirements of standard IEC 62305.

With the VARITECTOR SPC R modules, error detection and error messages are
realised by internal monitoring. The green LED indicates the active protective
function. The red LED indicates a fault condition. This information is transmitted
to the V-Control evaluation unit. From there, the information can be sent across
to e.g. a controller.

Due to the impedance-neutral removing of the arrestor, the VARITECTOR SPC

modules can be used instead of terminals. For four binary signals or
two analog signals, just 17.8 mm of space on the mounting rail is used.
By simply snapping onto a grounded mounting rail, time savings are also
ensured when connecting. A color code identifies the various voltage
levels for all VARITECTOR SPC modules. This simplifies maintenance
work during operation. The EMC set offers additional convenience for
connecting shielded cables. All VARITECTOR products comply with the
latest IEC 61643-21:2008 requirement for a new overstress mode.

VARITECTOR SSC 6AN

VARITECTOR SSC 6AN

Lightning and surge protection in terminal block design

Lightning and surge protection in 6 mm overall width for

measurement and control circuits including isolation/
measuring function

The VARITECTOR SSC combined surge protection, a direct PE contact

function, separation of signal paths and operational status indication in
one module. It is suitable for C&I applications.

The disconnect lever in the terminal guarantees that the measurement/

control circuit can be quickly and precisely switched off to test the signal
path. Using a test plug (PS 2.3 mm), the measuring instrument can
be easily inserted into the integrated test socket on Torx®/Slot headed
screws. The shield can be attached onto the additional lower level of
the VSSC 6AN which then leads directly to the PE potential on the
mounting rail. Permanent shielding can be implemented easily using
the EMC set. Weidmuller’s SNAPMARK device marker can be snapped
onto a terminal so that the equipment identification can be easily read
regardless of the installation position. The VSSC 6AN features all the
advantages found in the VARITECTOR SSC product line: a thin 6.2 mm
width, quick PE contact to rail (with up to 20 kA discharge capacity),
simple color coding for quick identification, large-surface versatile
markers, and the new Torx®/slot headed screw.

All VARITECTOR products comply with the latest IEC 61643-21:2008

requirement for a new overstress mode and with categories D1, C3, C2
and C1 according to IEC 61643-22.

Convenient
Connection convenience is assured by a
clamping rage of 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² with
a Torx®/slot headed screw and a 0.8 Nm
tightening torque.

Space-saving
A terminal of just 6.2 mm for two binary signals
or one analog signals. Terminals can be fitted
side by side.

120
VARITECTOR SSC 6AN

Simple and precise isolation

The disconnect lever guarantees a simple signal
path disconnection and a safe disconnect point
that is easy to see.

Fast identification
Versatile marking options: markers for
equipment and terminals and SNAPMARK
markers that are easy to read in any
installation position.

Testing and measuring

To enable simple testing it is possible to insert
the test plug (PS 2.3 mm) of the measuring
instrument into the integrated test socket of the
Torx®/slot headed screw.

Easy and safe

A shield can be mounted on both sides of the
unit which will provide direct connection to PE.
It features a very high discharge current of up to
20 kA for increased plant safety.

VARITECTOR SSC 4AN

VARITECTOR SSC
Lightning and surge protection
in terminal block design
The new and comprehensive surge protection family
for measurement and control technology in 6 mm
overall width

The interfaces in C&I applications must be protected against

surges, since coupling of surges on lines can interfere with
or destroy signal inputs. It is therefore necessary that C&I
devices be protected in their immediate vicinity. For this
purpose, VARITECTOR SSC, with its compact terminal-block
format, is ideal for this application. The protective circuits are
matched to the current loops and to binary signals.

The VARITECTOR SSC products are tested according to

the latest standards (IEC61643-21): They satisfy the safe
short-circuit mode in the event of overload by AC currents in
classes D1, C2 and C1. The products are ATEX-tested for use
in intrinsically safe circuits.

Easy to use
The clamping area of 0.5 mm² – 6 mm² is
covered with combined Torx®/Slot headed
screw and a tightening torque of 0.8 Nm.

Space-saving
Modular width of terminals just 6.2 mm for two
binary signals or per analog signal.

144
VARITECTOR SSC 4AN

Large variety
A solution for every type of surge protection:
More than 100 variations: current loops and
binary signals for 5 V, 12 V, 24 V, 48 V and
60 V, with integrated components, e.g. varistors.

Quick identification
Large-area marking options: marking of devices
and single connections as well as color-
coded marking of the voltage levels for fast
identification in the switching cabinet.

Simple and safe

Simple installation and high safety through
direct PE contact when mounting on the
terminal rail, with a very high discharge current
of up to 20 kA.

SD Series Guide to applications and selection

The SD Series of signal protection devices includes models for a full range of applications operating at voltages up to
250V AC. The optional fuse/disconnect package provides both fused protection against fault currents and a convenient
method of isolating field circuitry from protected circuitry without requiring additional disconnect terminals. The standard fuse
(replaceable) is rated 250mA. 50mA fuses are available by special request. Solid links can be used in applications where only
the disconnect feature is required.
This feature is important in applications where a signal protection device is used with a bulk power supply feeding multiple
loops. The individual fuse module prevents a fault or follow on current on one loop disrupting the power supply to the others.
In addition, loops can be removed from the circuit for maintenance or added without requiring additional disconnect terminals.
The following guide provides application information for the SD series. For technical information, see page 178.

Transmitter and sensor protection

Transmitters and sensors are widely used in highly exposed areas and where lightning damage is common. In many cases,
the ideal solution for 2-wire transmitters or sensors is the TP48, which mounts directly onto the transmitter via spare cable
entries. Where these entries are not available or 3-wire devices are used, the compact design and simple installation of the
SD Series makes it an ideal choice for transmitter protection.

The SDs within the junction box should be installed as close as possible to the sensor or transmitter they are protecting, but
no further than one meter away. A bond is required from the general mass of steelwork to the sensor or transmitter housing,
using either a flat short braid or a cable at least 0.16 inch2 (4mm2) cross sectional area. In most instances, this bond is made
automatically by fixing the metallic transmitter housing to the plant structure and ensures the voltage difference between the
signal conductors and the transmitter housing is below the transmitter’s insulation rating. Please note that the transmitters or
sensors are connected to the SD protected equipment terminals, not the field cables.

longer than 0.5 metres / 20 inch. The earth-side connection should be as short as
possible. Installation site: At the feed point of the facility, for Type I and II. In the
immediate vicinity of the end device being protected for Type III.
Capacitive coupling Coupling of the interference circuit and the useful circuit because of a potential
difference with coupling capacitances.
Combination circuit Protective circuit (e.g. from gas discharge tube, varistor and/or suppressor diode)

circuit, a 8/20 μs pulse. The ratio of peak open-circuit voltage (U0c) to peak short-
circuit current (Isc) is 2 ohms.
Common-mode interference The interference source is between a signal wire and a reference conductor (e.g.
capacitive coupling, or increase in potential of spatially dispersed earths).
Continuous operating current Ic Current per protective path for continuous voltage Uc.
Cut-off mechanism Device which disconnects the arrester in case of a system malfunction and
displays this.
Degree of protection for housing Degree of protection ensured by the housing against touch access to live parts
(IP code) and against the ingress of solid foreign objects or water. Testing in accordance
with IEC 529 section 7.4.
Differential-mode interference Interference source and useful source are in series (e.g. magnetic or galvanic
coupling).
EMC Electromagnetic compatibility.
External lightning protection The external lightning protection consists primarily of an air-termination device,
arresters and an earthing system. It is responsible for protecting the facility
buildings from lightning strikes which could cause fire or mechanical destruction.
Follow-on current If Current that flows through the surge protection device immediately following a
discharge and is delivered from the power grid.
Follow-on current extinguishing The VPU I, II and III series do not generate any power follow current between
capability Ifi L-PEN (follow current) and thus simplify the installation. Therefore, the strength
of the short circuit current, or power follow current, from the generator or
transformer, does not have to be taken into account.
