1 General
1.1
Scope of the document

This document is a guideline for engineering and design of the ICB (Input
Circuit Breaker) and the control of it.
The ICB combines the switching device MCB (Main Circuit Breaker) and
the protection relay.
The ICB is a major protection device of the drive system and connects /
disconnects the main power supply to the drive.
This engineering guideline provides information about the interface
between the ACS 1000 and ICB as well as information on the
requirements for the MCB or fused contactor from a hardware
performance and a control point of view,

Figure 1: System components overview

The ICB consists of:
Switch gear enclosure
MCB (Breaker or fused contactor)
CTs (Current transformers)
Protection relay
The MCB is controlled by the frequency converter. The closing command

is given exclusively by the frequency converter, since the MCB has to be
interlocked with the VSD system.
ACS 1000
8/36

The protection relay of the ICB is used for:
Transformer primary cable protection
Transformer protection
Transformer secondary cable protection
Backing up the frequency converter protection
In some cases a thermal motor protection relay can also trip the MCB.
This feature is required by certain standards.
For more information about requirements and functionality of the MCB,
please see the following document:
3BHS230517 Main Circuit Breaker Design for VSD [5]
ACS 1000
9/36

3 ICB requirements
In case of a failure (e.g. short circuit) on the cabling on the transformer
primary winding, the ICB must detect the fault instantaneously and clear
it.
Short circuit occurs
Open and / or trip command is set at the
frequency converter control output
No further damage of frequency converter
No hazard to personnel
Max. protection trip time

Max. safety trip time
Figure 2: Overview ICB timing

The time required to open the MCB is limited due to the fuseless design
of the ACS 1000. In order to prevent any hazard to personnel, the ICB
must detect and break a transformer secondary side 3-phase short-circuit
within:
Max. safety trip time = 250 ms (1)
In order to prevent further damage to the frequency converter, e.g. diode
failures, the MCB must break after the open / trip command has been
initiated (including opening and arcing time) within:
Max. protection trip time = 120 ms
For more information about requirements and functionality of the MCB,
please see the following document:
3.1
3BHS230517 Main Circuit Breaker Design for VSD [5]
MCB requirements
Based on IEC, NEMA and local standards, which define the major
characteristics and requirements, the MCB has to be specified and
selected according to:
The rated primary voltage of the converter transformer
The primary current of the converter transformer
If the fault clearing time of the MCB is longer the mains network data (max. short circuit capacity, voltage)
and the transformer data of the drive (power, impedance) have to be checked with the ACS 1000 feeder
factory, whether a longer clearing time (Max protection trip time) can be tolerated.
ACS 1000
10/36
The line short-circuit current
The MCB must be able to:
Make and carry nominal load currents
Clear short-circuit currents.
The MCB shall be opened within Max. protection trip time (see Figure 2)
in response to an open / trip command of the ACS 1000 control.
The control interface has to be specified in accordance with the selected
control scheme. The common control schemes are described in 6
Connection diagrams.
As a minimum, a MCB feedback signal indicating MCB status closed is
required.
Optional MCB feedback signals are:
Relay output indicating MCB status open
Relay output indicating MCB status available

i.e.: main circuit breaker not in test position, not drawn out or not
faulty.
See section 4.3.3 Signal settings for control signals for more details about
MCB signals.
3.2
Protection relay requirements

The protection relay must be able to:
Detect a short-circuit in the transformer primary cable *
Detect a short-circuit on the transformer primary side *
Detect a ground fault on the transformer primary side
Tolerate the transformer inrush current without tripping
* not required when the MCB is a fused contactor

The setting of the protection relay has to be determined based on the
project specific transformer data.
The ACS 1000i is always equipped with a transformer protection relay
and CTs for transformer protection. The line side cabling between the
feeder and the ACS 1000i input terminals is not covered by the
ACS 1000i protection relay.
For more information about protection relay requirements and a typical
protection scheme, please see the following document:

4 MCB control
4.1
Closing the MCB

All the following conditions have to be fulfilled in order to close the MCB:
No trip (initiated by hardware or software) is active.
The ACS 1000 internal grounding switch must be open.
The input disconnector (optional) must be closed.
The MCB must be in operating position (i.e. racked in and available

for closing).
The MCB must have been open for at least 5 seconds before it can
be closed again.
The closing command will be released by the frequency converter upon

request if all the above conditions are fulfilled. Additional project specific
conditions may be required.
The closing command for the MCB must be given exclusively from the
frequency converter. The closing command will be given upon a closing
request to the ACS 1000 control. The closing request or command can be
initiated from a local or a remote control location (see section 4.6 Local
and remote MCB control).
The time delay for closing the MCB is monitored. See section 4.3.3 Signal
settings for control signals for more details about MCB signals.
4.2
Opening / tripping the MCB

The following signals open / trip the MCB:
A signal from the tripping loop (see 4.3.4 MCB tripping loop)
A signal from the ACS 1000 application control software initiated by

the control door pushbutton, a digital input signal, or fieldbus system,
depending on the ACS 1000 Signal settings
o
An external MCB open command request is not accepted while

the ACS 1000 is running and will be ignored until the motor is
stopped.
A signal from the ACS 1000 interface board (hardware or software

protection)
A signal from a trip-circuit directly wired to the MCB
The MCB shall be opened within Max. protection trip time (see Figure 2)
in response to an open / trip command. See chapter 3 ICB requirements.

MCB control signal
4.3.1
MCB logic terminology

In this document, when referencing MCB coil control logic, the terms high
active and low active are used. These terms can also be written as
energize to activate and de-energize to activate, respectively.
As an example, a low active trip command or coil refers to a trip circuit
which is energized under normal operation. Removal of power causes a
trip action.
A high active close command or coil refers to a close circuit which is deenergized under normal operation. Application of power causes a close
action.
NOTICE
A slash / before the signal name indicates an inverted signal. For
example MCB ORD CLOSE indicates that the logic is high active or
energize to close, whereas /MCB ORD OPEN indicates that the logic
is low active or de-energize to open. This indication can also be found in
standard and project specific wiring diagrams.
4.3.2
Control signals
The following table shows the ACS 1000 digital inputs (DI) and outputs
(DO) on the standard I/O boards IOEC1 (-A5191) and IOEC2 (-A5201)

MCB tripping loop

The tripping loop is a hard-wired circuit, tripping the MCB if the loop is
interrupted. The tripping loop is wired from terminals X300:3 to X300:11
(See chapter 6 Connection diagrams).
The signals wired to the tripping loop are monitored. Table 3 shows the
digital inputs and the corresponding tripping loop terminals.

4.3.5
Fast MCB trip by the converter

The digital outputs DO5 and DO6 of IOEC 1 (-A5191) and IOEC 2
(-A5201) are controlled by:
the ACS 1000 control software
the hardware protection of the ACS 1000
The hardware protection (realized on the ACS 1000 INT-board) is

enabled by a soldering joint on the IOEC boards. The hard-coded
protection comprises internal HW and SW supervision and triggers the
following digital outputs:
DO1.6 /MCB ORD TRIP
DO2.5 /MCB ORD OPEN
DO2.6 MCB ORD CLOSE
Remark:
DO1.5 (MOTOR HEATER ORDER ON) is also controlled by the HW
protection circuit. This is not relevant for the MCB control. It is also not
required from a functional point of view, but it allows the same board
configuration to be used for IOEC 1 and IOEC 2.
The fiber optic link between INT board and IOEC board uses failsafe low
active logic.
NOTICE
Each of the IOEC boards 1 and 2 has the above mentioned soldering
joint when the drive leaves the factory. The soldering joint must be
conducting on the new board if a board is replaced.

information.
4.4.2
Optional MCB control interface with relays

The interface relays -K5321, -K5322, and -K5323 are controlled by the
standard MCB control DOs (see section 4.4.1 Standard MCB control
interface) using the internally supplied relay control voltage (U R ) supplied
with the internal 27 Vdc bus via an internal isolated DC to DC power
supply to the standard tripping loop input terminals -X300:3/4. See Figure
4 for wiring details. U R can be selected as either 24 Vdc or 48 Vdc. Refer
to position 202, MCB Interface in the ACS 1000 Type Code [3], Revision
L or higher for ordering information.
The switching capacity for the interface relays is given in Table 5.
Connection examples for the interface relays are given in 6 Connection
diagrams.

Optional MCB control interface with relays and open circuit monitoring
Open circuit monitoring for the open and trip circuit between the ACS
1000 and the MCB can be added if the MCB is equipped with high active
open / trip coils. This option is only available when 48 Vdc tripping loop
voltage is selected for the character MCB Interface in the ACS 1000
Type Code [3], Revision L or greater.
NOTICE
This option is only functional with a U MCB voltage range of 40-220 Vdc.
The relays will not function with 24Vdc or any AC voltage leve.
Protection category 3 (ISO 13849-1) can be achieved, depending on the
MCB control wiring (see 6 Connection diagrams).
The ABB SPER 1B1 C4 monitoring relay is used for this function. See the
respective Data Sheet (www.abb.com) for more information.
The relays K5322 and K5323 are energized during normal operation,
meaning their contacts R5/R6 and R3/R4 are open and will close,
energizing the MCB coils upon an open / trip command. Because of this
high active logic, the ACS 1000 is not able to open / trip the MCB if the
wire between the ACS 1000 and the MCB is disconnected or severed.

19/36
4 MCB control
The monitoring relays induces a small current (< 5 mA) through the open /
trip circuit of the MCB. An alarm / trip will be generated after
approximately 3 seconds at terminal X314 (see Table 3) if this current
cannot maintained in either of the respective circuits, enabling the
operator to initiate corrective measures.
A second pair of contacts from monitoring relays F5331 and F5332 are
wired together in parallel to the tripping loop. When an open circuit fault is
detected in both the MCB order open and trip circuits, the tripping loop
voltage is removed and an Emergency Off fault is generated.
The SPER relays themselves cannot detect the difference between an
open circuit because of a line break or because of a real MCB open / trip
command. In order to avoid false open circuit alarms or faults, auxiliary
contacts from relays K5322 and K5323 are wired directly to time delay
relays K5331 and K5332, respectively. Contacts from these time delay
relays are wired into both the open circuit monitoring alarm and trip
circuits to bypass the signals when an MCB open / trip command is
active.
NOTICE
Time delay relays K5331 and K5332 should be set to an off delay of 1s
in order to verify that the Tripping Loop digital inputs correctly register
the open circuit trip.

Fused input contactor option

A fused input contactor can be optionally mounted into the ACS1000i
cabinet. With this configuration, the entire ICB (see Figure 1) is internally
wired.
This option is only available for ACS 1000i and only up to either 6.6 kV or
6.9 kV input voltages, depending on the type of contactor chosen. For
more information refer to position 25, Input Contactor, fused in the ACS
1000 Type Code [3]. For wiring details see Figure 6.
Relays -K5311 and -K5312 are controlled by the standard MCB order trip
and MCB order close DOs (see section 4.3.2 Control signalsControl
signals) with the internal 27 Vdc bus via an internal isolated DC to DC
power supply. These relay contacts provide the commands for the fused
input contactor -Q1011, which serves as an internal MCB.
An auxiliary contact from fused input contactor -Q1011 is also internally
wired directly to the MCB Closed feedback IOEC 2 (-A5201) DI10.

Local and remote MCB control

The close and open command for the MCB can be given to the ACS 1000
from a local or remote control location.
Local:
The MCB can be closed or opened by using the pushbuttons on the
control section door of the drive when local is selected on the control
panel CDP 312.
Exception: The MCB can also be opened and closed via the pushbuttons
on the control section door when the drive is in remote control, provided
that Signal 11.04 (11.05) in the ACS 1000 Signal and Signal Table [2] is
set to 1 = NOT SEL.
Remote:
The MCB can be closed or opened via the digital inputs on IOEC 2 or via
a serial interface (i.e. Modbus) when remote is selected on the control
panel CDP 312.
NOTICE
Local operation can be disabled by digital input IOEC2 DI 14 (DI2.14)
(high active).
4.6.1
Remote control via digital inputs

The ACS 1000 software offers the possibility to close / open the MCB
from one or two remote control locations.
Commands from these two stations cannot be given simultaneously in
case the MCB is controlled by two remote control locations. The active
remote control has to be selected first.
Signal groups 12.02, 11.04 and 11.05 in the ACS 1000 Signal and Signal
Table [2] are provided to make the necessary selections according to the
signal interface (digital inputs and / or fieldbus).
4.6.1.1 Selection of control location

The following control locations can be selected with Signal group 12.02 Ext1/Ext2 Select (O):
Digital input on IOEC 2

o
22/36
This selection is used to switch from control location 1 to

control location 2 and vice versa. In the Signal & Signal
Table the expression EXT1 is used for control location 1
and the expression EXT2 for control location 2.
Control location 1 or control location 2
Control location 1 or 2 via a serial interface
Signal 12.02 is 7 = EXT1 (control location 1)
ACS 1000
This is the default selection
4.6.1.2 Selection of digital inputs for the control location

The digital inputs which are to be used to close or open the MCB are
selected with Signal groups 11.04 - Ext1 MCB Control (for control location
1) and 11.05 - Ext2 MCB Control (for control location 2).
The default setting of 11.04 is 9 = DI7P,13P, which means that the digital
inputs DI 2.7 (REM ORD ON-LINE) and DI2.13 (REM ORD OFF-LINE)
are used to close / open the MCB.
In addition to the setting for the selection of the control location it is also
possible to choose whether only one signal is used for opening / closing
or two separate signals with Signal group 11.04.
4.6.2
Remote control via serial interface

The MCB can also be operated via a serial interface. The necessary
setting for Signal 11.04 and 11.05 in the ACS 1000 Signal and Signal

6 Connection diagrams
There are various possibilities for the MCB control wiring, depending on
the number of signals used to close, open and trip the MCB and on the
required safety function category.
The shown connection diagrams are typical for this type of application.
Please read section 4.1 Closing the MCB before reading the following
paragraphs for better understanding.
6.1
Safety function category

The achieved safety function category (ISO 13849-1) of the MCB control
depends on the selected MCB control configuration, the quality of the
used contacts in the tripping loop and the kind of monitoring of the MCB
control circuit.
All proposed MCB control configurations have at least safety function
category 1.
The safety function category achieved depends on the selected
configuration, see section 6.2.1 One high active coil to close, open and
trip the MCB to 6.2.4 Two high active coils to close and open and one low
active coil to trip the MCB.
To achieve safety function category 3 (ISO 13849-1) all contacts in the
tripping loop have to be redundant or the contacts must be designed
according to this category.
6.2
Control configurations
There are four different most common control configurations:
1
One high active coil to close, open and trip the MCB
This is the typical configuration to control a fused contactor. The
control signal is a continuous signal (Signal 21.06 set to one signal).
For connection diagrams refer to section 6.2.1 One high active coil to
close, open and trip the MCB.
One high active coil to close and one low active coil to open / trip
the MCB
This configuration requires a pulsed signal to close the MCB (Signal
21.06 set to two signals).
close and one low active coil to open / trip the MCB.
ACS 1000
One high active coil to close and one high active coil to open / trip
the MCB
28/36

The use of the MCB open circuit monitoring as described in section
4.4.3 Optional MCB control interface with relays and open circuit
monitoring is recommended.
This configuration requires a pulse signal to close the MCB (Signal
close and one high active coil to open / trip the MCB.
4
Two high active coils to close and open and one low active coil to
trip the MCB
This configuration offers the highest safety level and is recommended
in case a new breaker is used.
This configuration requires a pulse signal to close the MCB (Signal
For connection diagrams refer to section 6.2.4 Two high active coils
to close and open and one low active coil to trip the MCB.
The selection of one or two signals (continuous or pulse) to be used for

opening and closing the MCB depends on the setting of Signal 21.06 as
shown in Table 2: MCB control Signal.
ACS 1000
29/36
6.2.1
One high active coil to close, open and trip the MCB
In this configuration, the close / open and the trip signal of the ACS 1000
control (see section 4.3.2 Control signals) are connected in series to
achieve redundancy.
The safety function category 3 is achieved if all contacts in the tripping
loop are redundant (refer to section 6.1 Safety function category.

Special cases
6.3.1
MCB functions as a grounding isolator switch

In certain cases, the MCB can also function as a grounding isolator switch
in order to ground the primary side of the transformer. In this case, an
unwanted MCB Discrep alarm (see Section 5.2.2 - MCB discrepancy)
may come in when the MCB is in the grounded position. This is because
when the MCB is in this position, it sends a MCB IS CLOSED feedback
and removes the MCB IS OPEN feedback. See Figure 15 for wiring
details.
This alarm can be avoided by wiring an additional normally closed MCB
IS GROUNDED contact in series with the MCB IS CLOSED feedback
signal to maintain a closed status when the MCB is grounded. If the MCB
IS OPEN feedback signal is also being used, an additional normally open
MCB IS GROUNDED contact must be wired in parallel.

6.3.2
Reoccurring emergency off caused by open circuit monitoring

When an emergency off fault is present on the drive but no emergency off
has been pushed, it could be an indication that the open circuit monitoring
is active (see section 4.4.3 Optional MCB control interface with relays and
open circuit monitoring). When an emergency off fault message reoccurs
immediately (within 2-5 seconds) after resetting, check monitoring relays
F5331 and F5332 for fault indication which will be indicated by an LED on
the face of the relays themselves.
If a fault condition exists, check the MCB order open / trip logic circuit for
possible wire disconnection or severed wires.
