The peak value of the fi rst current wave often reaches a valuebetween 10 and 15 times the transformer’s effective rated current.For power ratings below 50 kVA, it may reach between 20 and 25 times the rated current. This transientcurrent decreases very rapidly with a time constant T varying from several ms to 10, 20 ms.Main protection on the primary sideThe tables below are the result of a set of tests on co-ordination between circuit-breakers and BT/BTtransformers. The transformers used in the tests are normalized. The table, referring to a primarysupply voltage of 230 or 400 V and to single-phase and three-phase transformers, indicate whichcircuit-breaker should be used according to the transformer power rating.The transformers considered have the primary winding outside the secondary winding.The circuit-breakers suggested allow:• transformer protection in the event of maximum short-circuit;• prevention of unwanted tripping when the primary winding is powered up using1. modular circuit-breakers with a high magnetic threshold, curve D or K2. circuit-breakers with magnetic only releaser;• guaranteed circuit-breaker electrical life.Protection on the secondary sideDue to the transformer’s high insertion current, the circuit-breaker on the primary winding may notguarantee thermal protection for the transformer and its feeder line on the primary side.This is typical of modular circuit-breakers which must have a higher rated current than the transformers.In such cases, in the event of a single-phase short-circuit at the transformer’s primary terminals(minimum Icc at end of line), check that the circuit-breaker’s magnetic releaser is tripped. In thenormal application in distribution panels, this condition is always satisfi ed provided that the lengthof the feeder lines is reduced.The transformer can be provided with thermal protection by installing a circuit-breaker with a ratedcurrent less than or equal to that of the transformer secondary winding immediately downstream ofthe LV/LV transformer.11ABB11/57
