2. Important Information
NOTICE
Read these instructions carefully, and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device before
trying to install, operate, service, or maintain it. The following special messages may appear throughout
this documentation or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that
clarifies or simplifies a procedure.
PLEASE NOTE
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel.
No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this
material.
A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of
electrical equipment and its installation and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
3. Component names
The default prefix of component names is defined in accordance with standard IEC 81346-2.
This standard defines the following rules depending on the type of equipment.
ZT
Incomer: ZQ (ZT + ZC )
ZSUP = ZC + ZG ZSUP = ZQ + ZC ZQ (ZT + ZC )
Outgoer: ZSUP =
ZSUP = nT
n T− 1
nT is the total number of transformers operating
simultaneously.
Incomer = the conductor between the transformer and the
main switchboard.
Outgoer = the circuits supplying the entire installation
downstream of the main switchboard.
5⋅ ∑S rT + 1,1⋅ SrM
TN-C system
TT system
IT system
TN-C system earthing is not recommended on the sites where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
7. Diversity factor Ks
The IEC 60439-1 standard defines simultaneity factor values that can be used in the absence of more
preciseinformation for prefabricated electrical panels and busbars.
EcoStruxure Power Design-Ecodial does not apply these values by default to calculate the operating
currents forpipes and busbars. This must be changed by the user manually.
The determination of ks factors is the responsibility of the designer, since it requires a detailed knowledge of the
installation and the conditions in which the individual circuits are to be exploited.
For this reason, it is not possible to give precise values for general application.
When a part of the network is not supplied in a given operating mode, it is shown in blue in the single-line
diagram. Given that the "closed" status condition is the most common in installations, only the "open" status
condition is shownin the single-line diagram.
9. Selectivity
9.1. Selectivity of LV protective devices
9.1.1. Principle
Tripping curve
Non-tripping curve
If the selectivity limit current is lower than the short-circuit current that can occur on the circuit protected
by thedownstream protective device, Selectivity is said to be partial.
If the selectivity limit current is higher than the maximum short-circuit current that can occur on the circuit
protected bythe downstream protective device, Selectivity is said to be total for the given installation.
9.1.3. Means to achieve total Selectivity
If the curves cross in the crossing detection zone, i.e. below the downstream instantaneous-setting current, the
settings on the protective devices may be adjusted to achieve Selectivity. Use of time-delayed trip units makes
this easier.
If the Selectivity limit is in the table zone, the rating of the upstream protective device must be increased. In this
case, EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial retains the circuit design current Ib as the reference for the thermal
setting of the protective device to avoid oversizing the cable.
the sensitivity of the upstream device is greater than double the sensitivity of the downstream device,
the breaking time of the upstream device is 1.4 times longer than that of the downstream device.
≥ 2 → current discrimination OK
Ikmi
However if the breaking-time Selectivity condition is not met, there is no Selectivity between the two residual-current
protective devices (even if the sensitivity Selectivity condition is met).
Depending if the MV protective device is a fuse or relay the rules to ensure Selectivity between MV and LV are
slightly different.
For MV fuse:
all parts of the minimum pre-arcing fuse curve must be located to the right of the CB curve by a factor of 1.35
or more (e.g. where, at time T, the CB curve passes through a point corresponding to 100 A, the fuse curve at
the same time T must pass through a point corresponding to 135 A, or more, and so on...),
and all parts of the fuse curve must be above the CB curve by a factor of 2 or more (e.g. where, at a current
level I the CB curve passes through a point corresponding to 1.5 seconds, the fuse curve at the same current
level I must pass through a point corresponding to 3 seconds, or more, etc.).
The factors 1.35 and 2 are based on standard maximum manufacturing tolerances for MV fuses and
LV circuit-breakers.
The factors 1.35 and 0.3 s are based on standard maximum manufacturing tolerances for MV current
transformers,MV protection relay and LV circuit-breakers.
Where a LV fuse-switch is used, similar separation of the characteristic curves of the MV protective device
and LV fuses must be respected.
10. Cascading
10.1. Default and individual parameter settings
On the Project parameters tab, in the zone for device selection, it is possible to request that the system attempt to
set up cascading for all final protection devices, i.e. those immediately upstream of the loads. It is on the final circuits
that there is the greatest number of outgoers and consequently that cascading can provide the greatest benefits.
In addition, there is an individual parameter for each circuit breaker in the installation, among the circuit-breaker
properties, to activate or deactivate system attempts to establish cascading.

Type A
Tripping is provided for residual sinusoidal alternating currents and specified residual pulsating direct currents.
Type B
Tripping is provided for currents identical to those for class A and for residual direct currents produced by three-phase
rectification.
In addition, Schneider Electric offers the following types of residual-current devices in its catalogue:
SI (super immunised) with reinforced immunity to nuisance tripping in polluted networks,
SiE designed for environments with severe operating conditions.
The table below presents the recommended type and immunity level as a function of the external conditions and the
level of disturbances on the electrical network.
EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial offers a choice between the two possibilities.
If no choice is made (parameter set to Any), the proposed solutions include both integrated and separate devices that
are compatible with the breaking device.
The necessary assessment of the electrical installation is required to know the ‘high sensitivity
residual current protection’.
Use the residual current protection devices with a sensitivity I∆n less than or equal to 30 mA.
The situations and applications presented below require highly-sensitivity residual-current devices, i.e. devices with a
sensitivity I∆n less than or equal to 30 mA.
The necessary assessment of the electrical installation is required to know the ‘medium sensitivity
residual current protection’.
Use the residual current protection devices with a sensitivity I∆n less than or equal to 300 mA or
500 mA.
The situations and applications presented below require medium-sensitivity residual-current devices, i.e. devices with
a sensitivity I∆n less than or equal to 300 mA or 500 mA.
AFDD are aimed to reduce the risk of electrical fire. By continuously analyzing many electrical
parameters, it detects the appearance of electric arcs that are responsible for starting fires. It
isolates the circuit concerned which reduces flame appearance occurrence.
The installation standard IEC 60364-4-42 recommends the use of AFDD to protect against arc
fault in final circuits:
• In locations with sleeping accommodations (e.g. hotels, nursing homes, bedrooms in
homes)
• In locations with risks of fire due to high quantities of flammable materials (e.g. barns,
wood-working shops, stores of combustible materials)
• In locations with combustible constructional materials (e.g., wooden buildings)
• In fire propagating structures (e.g. high-rise buildings)
• In locations where irreplaceable goods are housed (e.g. museums).
More specifically, the installation of AFDD is highly recommended to protect circuits with
highest risk of fire, such as:
• protruding cables (risk of knocks)
• outside cables (greater risk of deterioration)
• unprotected cables in secluded areas (like storage rooms)
• ageing, deteriorating wiring or wiring for which the connection boxes are inaccessible.
AFDD must not be installed on circuits requiring a high level of continuity of service.
The device will work together with a concentrator or a gateway to collect and process the data.
It provides circuit monitoring and diagnosis down to load level.
16.3. Procedure if the cumulative voltage drop for a load exceeds the permissible
value
If the calculated, cumulative voltage drop exceeds the maximum, permissible value, EcoStruxure Power Design -
Ecodial displays a message to signal the detected error.
To clear the detected error, reduce the voltage-drop tolerances for the upstream circuits supplying the load ( Circuit
voltage-drop tolerances).
In the example below, the calculated voltage Below, the voltage-drop tolerance for cable WD3
drop for load AA7 is 6.06%, i.e. greater than the has been reduced to 3%. EcoStruxure Power
maximum permissible value of 6%. The Design - Ecodial consequently increases the size
tolerance for circuit voltage drops is set to 5%. of the cable and the voltage drop for load AA7 is
now less than 6% (4.98%).
∆u ∆u tolerance
+3.86% 5% → 3%
∆u
+ 1.93%
To maintain the maximum voltage drop for AA7 to less than 6%, it is necessary to reduce the voltage drops on the
upstream circuits (WD3 and WD7) by reducing the voltage-drop tolerance(s).
There are two possible methods.
Reduce the tolerances for all upstream circuits, in which case the size (cross-sectional area) of all upstream circuits
will be increased.
Reduce the tolerance for a single upstream circuit, namely the circuit selected by the designer as the best for an
increase in size.
EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial presents in the results zone of the window:
the installation-method number,
the reference method used,
a complete description of the installation method,
a diagram.
17.3. Enhancement
As per the IEC 60364-5-52, for the “reference method of installations F & G”, the current carrying capacities are
already available up to 630 mm2.
For the other reference methods, the ‘current carrying capacity’ values for the conductors with size more than a 240 or
300 mm2 are defined by formulas, and this will help the application to get the conductor sizing done for the higher
sizes up to 1000 mm2.
For example in a circuit where the requested design current is 220A, using a Compact NSX250 with Mircologic 2.2 trip
unit the cable sizing can be made taking into account:
In = 250 A, the cable is sized to 95 mm²,
Or Ir = 220 A, the cable is sized to 70 mm².

EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial includes a function to waiver thermal protection for circuit breakers supplying
loads.
In this case, two types of circuit breakers are proposed by EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial:
circuit breakers without thermal protection and equipped with an MA trip unit,
circuit breakers equipped with a control unit enabling inhibition of thermal protection (e.g. Micrologic 5 or
equivalent).
In that case, EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial sizes the circuit breaker and the cable to accept 1.5 times the
design current of the circuit.

The ratio Gh/Sn is calculated by EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial for each capacitor bank, taking into account the
loads declared as harmonic loads.
The ratio Gh/Sn can also be entered directly for each capacitor bank. In this case, the values are locked and will not
be modified by EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial in the event of changes in the installation.
If Gh/Sn exceeds 50%, a special study must be carried out to determine the type of capacitor bank because harmonic
filtering must be installed.

Type Definition
Type 1 Deterioration of the contactor and the relay is acceptable under two conditions:
no danger to operating personnel,
no danger to any components other than the contactor and the relay
Type 2 Only minor welding of the contactor or starter contacts is permissible and the contacts
must be easily separated. Following type-2 coordination tests, the switchgear and
controlgear functions must be fully operational.
When the switchgear and controlgear includes both the circuit breaker and contactor functions, coordination is
considered to be total.
The short-circuit currents Ik3max, Ik2max and Ik1max are calculated in compliance with Cenelec TR50480 technical
report.
For the double-fault current, EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial check that the breaking capacity at the phase-to-
phase voltage is greater than:
the current Ief calculated in compliance with Cenelec TR50480 technical report
0.15 times the 3-phase short-circuit current at the point considered if this current is less than or equal to 10
000 A,
0.25 times the 3-phase short-circuit current at the point considered if this current is greater than 10 000 A.
The short circuit set of values stay same across The short circuit set of values vary across tap off
any tap off points points based on there distance from origin.
When designing systems where the details When designing systems where BTS riser needs
about the BTS are not know at the design time, to be used, it is advised to use Non Uniform BTS

Important note: The busbar trunking system selected by EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial will remain the same
irrespective of whether a uniform / non uniform distribution type is chosen as far as the voltage drop is acceptable.
EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial does not distinguish between uniform and non uniform from a schematic
perspective (SLD).
In case of BTS where feeder distribution is non uniform, the component voltage drop and short circuit set represented
in the report section, shows the total cumulative values of the tap off points along with the component’s voltage drop
and short circuit set.
EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial selects the fuses rating according to voltage and transformer power in order to:
break short-circuit current across the terminal of the transformer secondary,
prevent unexpected tripping due to transformer inrush current.

32. UPS
32.1. UPS inputs connection
In EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial only on-line UPS are available, for more information on this technology:
Electrical Installation Wiki.
EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial proposes 2 possibilities for the inputs connection:
common, in that case Normal and Bypass are connected and fed by one feeder circuit with one common
upper protection,
separated, in that case Normal and Bypass are connected to separate upstream feeder.
The default value proposed by EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial depends on the UPS characteristics and power:
for small UPS (low power) the connections are common by default,
for medium and high power UPS the connections are separated by default.
When the default value is “Common” it’s possible to change it to “Separated”, in that case the lock next to the
parameter closes .
Common Normal and Bypass connection Separated Normal and Bypass connection
Here is an example with 2 feeders connected downstream an USP with respective power demand:
- 100 kVA,
- 10 kVA.
Taking into account the diversity factor of 0.9 on bubsar WC15 the total power demand for the UPS is 99 kVA.
The following table shows the solutions proposed by EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial depending the requested
level of redundancy.
This is the total number of UPS unit for the solution including:
In case of a solution with common bypass, the number of bypass displayed by EcoStruxure Power Design - Ecodial
will be lower than the number of UPS unit.

• Class I tests: They are conducted using nominal discharge current (In), voltage
impulse with 1.2/50 μs waveshape and impulse current Iimp.
The class I tests is to simulate partial conducted lightning current impulses. SPDs subjected to class
I test methods are generally recommended for locations at points of high exposure, e.g., line
entrances to buildings protected by lightning Protection systems.
• Class II tests: They are conducted using nominal discharge current (In), voltage
impulse with 1.2/50 μs waveshape
• Class III tests: They are conducted using the combination waveform (1.2/50 and
8/20 μs).
SPDs tested to class II or III test methods are subjected to impulses of shorter duration. These SPDs are generally
recommended for locations with lesser exposure.
This option is used to enable or disable the surge protection device calculation for the
installation.If the option chosen in "Yes"
• One or more surge protection devices are calculated for the installation based on the risk assessment
of the installation
• High level risk assessment of the installation is carried out by the software to ensure that the correct
category / class of the surge arrester is chosen.
o In the cases where a lightning protection system is used for the installation ( i.e. there is a
lightning rod on the building or within 50m of the building), the designer needs to provide the
correct value of Imax i.e. either 12.5kA or 25kA ( as per IEC 62305-2). Minimum required is
12.5kA / pole
o In the cases where there is no lightning protection system used for the installation, the
designer needs to choose the correct value of overvoltage risk for the installation. The
categories are
Low
• Imax = 20kA
• Building located in an urban or suburban grouped housing area
Medium
• Imax = 40 kA
• Building located in plains
High
• Imax = 65kA
• Building located in an area where there is a special risk ( pylon, tree,
mountainous region, mountain peak, damp area or pond )
If additional accessories are not added, then ignore them and Ecodial will propose a basic breaker
selection asper the inputs and size the electrical network accordingly.
