Typical problem in the
Conventional system
Solution by using MMS system
Short-Circuit Breaking Protection
When numerous small and medium motor loads exist in a circuit requiring high breaking capacity circuit breaker with a small rated current for short-circuit protection. The MMS can be used in 100kA short-circuit current circuits for 3-phases. 240V motors with rated capacity up to 15kW, and in 50kA short-circuit current circuits for 3-phase, 415V motors with rated capacity up to 30kW.
Back-Up Breaking System
When a back-up MCCB is installed upstream to solve the problem described in “short-circuit breaking protection”, a short in one of the load circuits also trips the upstream breaker and stops the other operating load circuits. Despite their compact size, the 32AF and 63AF MMS provide high-performance short-circuit current breaking. They eliminate the need for an upstream circuit breaker for back-up use.
Overload Protection
Motor protection breakers cannot be adjusted to match the rated current of the motor being protected Equipped with a wide-range current adjustment dial (with max/min ratio of 1.4 to 1.6), the MMS easily adjusts to match the rated current of the motor, for optimum protection.
Control Panel Size
Considerable space is required to install a back-up circuit breaker or a combination starter consisting of a circuit breaker and a thermal overload relay. As a result, the panel size has to be increased. The compact size of the MMS, including thermal overload relay functions, enables a small installation area with less wiring space, for a reduction in panel size.
