9 - Additional protections and functions
Introduction
Some protections have additional functions which extend their characteristics and performance:
Name Type of protection Page
Thermal Memory overheating of the cables 72
Zone selectivity management of trip commands in a network of circuit-breakers 72
Blocks blocking of protection on the basis of programmable events 75
Startup different thresholds on the basis of monitoring thresholds 75
The presence of Ekip Synchrocheck allows the protections of the module to be activated (page 76)
Thermal Memory
The function, which can be activated for L and S protections, allows overheating in the cables connected to
the device controlled by Ekip Touch to be prevented: in the case of several open commands within a brief
interval, the unit considers the time between commands and the entity of the faults so as to reduce trip time.
NOTE: the function also changes the trip time in the case of overloads which have not led
to the open command
S, S2, G zone selectivity
The function, which can be activated for S, S2 and G protections (if available and enabled), allows several
devices belonging to the same installation (including Ekip Touch) to be interconnected, so as to handle trip
commands in the best possible way in the case of S, S2 and G protections.
The function, which can be activated for S, S2, G and Gext protections (if available and enabled), allows
several devices belonging to the same installation (including Ekip Touch) to be interconnected, so as to
handle trip commands in the best possible way in the case of S, S2, G and Gext protections.
The function allows the devices to be coordinated so that, if a fault occurs:
• the device nearest to the fault trips
• the other devices are blocked for a programmable time
NOTE: connection can be made between ABB devices that have the zone selectivity function
Characteristics
Ekip Touch has five selectivity connections, located on the rear connectors of the CB:
Name Type Description Connection
Szi Input S and S2 protection selecitivity input
From devices on the load
side
Szo Output S and S2 protection selecitivity output To devices on the supply side
Gzi Input G protection selectivity input
From devices on the load
side
Gzo Output G protection selectivity output To devices on the supply side
Szc Common Common connection of selectivity network The entire selectivity network
