<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 />
