IEC 60364.4.43-2008
LOW-VOLTAGE
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS-3
Part 4-43:
Protection for safety Protection against
overcurrent
434.2.2
A
protective
device
may
be
placed
on
the
supply
side
of
the
reduced
cross-sectional area or another change
made, provided that it possesses an operating
characteristic
such
that
it
protects
the
wiring
situated
on
the
load
side
against
short-circuit, in accordance with
434.5.2.
NOTE The requirements of
434.2.2 may be met by the method given in Annex D.
434.3 Omission of devices for
protection against short-circuit
Provided that both of the following
conditions are simultaneously fulfilled:
?
the
wiring
is
installed
in
such
a
way
as
to
reduce
the
risk
of
a
short
-circuit
to
a
minimum (see
item b) of 434.2.1), and
? the wiring
is not
placed close to combustible
material, devices for protection against
short-circuit need not be provided for
applications such as:
a) conductors
connecting generators, transformers, rectifiers,
accumulator batteries to
the associated
control panels, the protective devices being
placed in these panels;
b)
circuits
where
disconnection
could
cause
danger
for
the
operation
of
the
installations concerned,
such as those cited in 433.3.3;
c)
certain measuring circuits;
d) at
the origin
of an
installation where the
distributor
installs
one or more devices
providing
protection
against
short-circuit
and
agrees
that
such
a
device
affords
protection to the
part of the installation between the origin and
the main distribution
point of the
installation where further short-circuit
protection is provided.
434.4 Short-
circuit protection of conductors in parallel
A
single
protective
device
may
protect
conductors
in
parallel
against
the
effects
of
shortcircuit
provided
that
the
operating
characteristics
of
that
device
ensures
its
effective
operation
should
a
fault
occur
at
the
most
onerous
position
in
one
of
the
parallel
conductors. Account shall be taken of the sharing
of the short-circuit currents
between
the
parallel
conductors.
A
fault
can
be
fed
from
both
ends
of
a
parallel
1
conductor.
If
operation
of
a
single
protective
device
is
not
effective,
then
one
or
more
of
the
following
measures shall be taken:
a) The wiring
shall be carried out in such a way as to reduce to
a minimum the risk of
a short-circuit
in any parallel conductor, for example by
protection against mechanical
damage,
and conductors shall be installed in such a manner
as to reduce to a minimum
the risk of
fire or danger to persons.
b) For two
conductors in parallel, a short-circuit protective
device shall be provided at
the supply
end of each parallel conductor.
c) For
more than two conductors in parallel, short-
circuit protective devices shall be
provided at the supply and load ends of
each parallel conductor. Guidance is given in
Clause A.3.
434.5
Characteristics of short-circuit protective
devices
Each short-circuit protective
device shall meet the requirements given in
434.5.1.
434.5.1
The rated
breaking capacity shall be not less than the
prospective maximum
shortcircuit
current
at
the
place
of
its
installation,
except
where
the
following
paragraph applies.
A lower rated breaking capacity is
permitted if another protective device having the
necessary
breaking
capacity
is
installed
on
the
supply
side.
In
that
case,
the
characteristics of the devices shall
be coordinated so that the energy let
through by
these two devices
does not exceed that which can be withstood
without damage by the
device on the
load side and the conductors protected by these
devices.
NOTE In certain cases other
characteristics may need to be taken into account
such as
dynamic
stresses
and
arcing
energy
for
the
device
on
the
load
side.
Details
of
the
characteristics needing
coordination should be obtained from the
manufacturers of the
devices concerned.
434.5.2
For
cables
and
insulated
conductors,
all
current
caused
by
a
short-circuit
occurring at
any point of the circuit shall be interrupted in a
time not exceeding that
which brings
the insulation of the conductors to the permitted
limit temperature.
For operating times
of protective devices <0,1 s where asymmetry of
the current is of
2
importance and for current-limiting
devices
k
2
S
2
shall be greater than the value
of the
letthrough energy
(
I
2
t
)
quoted by the manufacturer of the protective
device.
For
short-circuits
of
duration
up
to
5
s,
the
time
t
,
in
which
a
given
short-circuit
current
will
raise
the
insulation
of
the
conductors
from
the
highest
permissible
temperature
in
normal
duty
to
the
limit
temperature
can,
as
an
approximation,
be
calculated from the formula:
t
= (
k * S /
I)
2
(3)
where
t
is the duration, in s;
S
is the cross-
sectional area, in mm
2
;
I
is
the effective short-circuit current, in A,
expressed as an r.m.s. value;
k
is
a
factor
taking
account
of
the
resistivity,
temperature
coefficient
and
heat
capacity of the
conductor material, and the appropriate initial
and final temperatures.
For common
conductor
insulation, the values of
k
for line conductors are
shown in
Table 43A.
434.5.3
For
busbar
trunking
systems
complying
with
IEC
60439-2
and
powertrack
complying with
the IEC 61534 series, one of the following
requirements shall apply:
? The rated
short
-time withstand current
(
I
CW) and the rated peak
withstand current
of
a
busbar
trunking
or
powertrack
system
shall
not
be
lower
than
the
prospective
short-circuit current r.m.s. value and
the prospective short-circuit peak current value,
respectively. The maximum time for
which the
I
CW is defined for
the busbar trunking
or
powertrack
system
shall
not
be
less
than
the
maximum
operating
time
of
the
protective device.
?
The
rated
conditional
short
-circuit
current
of
the
busbar
trunking
or
powertrack
system
associated
with
a
specific
protective
device,
shall
not
be
lower
than
the
prospective shortcircuit current.
435 Coordination of overload and short-
circuit protection
435.1 Protection
afforded by one device
A
protective
device
providing
protection
against
overload
and
short-circuit
currents
shall fulfil the
applicable requirements of Clauses of 433 and 434.
