<strong>WL</strong> <strong>Circuit</strong> Breaker<br />

Breaker Status Sensor (BSS)<br />

BSS stands for “breaker status sensor.” All<br />

microswitches that contain information on<br />

the state of the circuit breaker are either<br />

installed directly to the BSS or connected<br />

to it. The BSS makes this digital information<br />

available on the CubicleBUS.<br />

This picture shows the BSS signaling contacts and how they have to be connected. The BSS is<br />

factory installed when the communications option is ordered with the assembled breaker.<br />

<strong>WL</strong> PROFIBUS/MODBUS Communication and Electronic Accessories<br />

If the status of the circuit breaker in the<br />

switchgear is to be displayed or read via<br />

communications, the BSS module and<br />

the appropriate signaling switch must<br />

be installed (if they are not already).<br />

The circuit breaker must be installed<br />

with an electronic trip unit of type<br />

ETU745 or higher.<br />

SECTION 2<br />

The BSS can also be field installed.<br />

The BSS indicates the following<br />

information:<br />

• Closing spring (charged/discharged)<br />

• Position of the main contacts<br />

(open/closed)<br />

• Ready-to-close signal<br />

• Bell Alarm switch on the trip unit<br />

(connected to the red mechanical<br />

trip indicator)<br />

• Signaling switch on the first shunt trip<br />

• Signaling switch on the second shunt trip<br />

The BSS is included when you order the<br />

communications option with the assembled<br />

circuit breaker.<br />

If a BSS is required without communication<br />

(e.g. for operating the BDA), it can be<br />

ordered separately.<br />
