Communication option
In conjunction with the COM communication option, the control unit transmits the
following:
b settings
b all “ammeter” measurements
b tripping causes
b maximeter readings.
Protection
Protection thresholds and delays are set using the adjustment dials.
Overload protection
True rms long-time protection.
Thermal memory: thermal image before and after tripping.
Setting accuracy may be enhanced by limiting the setting range using a different
long-time rating plug.
Overload protection can be cancelled using a specific LT rating plug "Off".
Short-circuit protection
Short-time (rms) and instantaneous protection.
Selection of I2t type (ON or OFF) for short-time delay.
Earth-fault protection
Residual or source ground return earth fault protection.
Selection of I2t type (ON or OFF) for delay.
Residual earth-leakage protection (Vigi).
Operation without an external power supply.
q Protected against nuisance tripping.
k DC-component withstand class A up to 10 A.
Neutral protection
On three-pole circuit breakers, neutral protection is not possible.
On four-pole circuit breakers, neutral protection may be set using a three-position
switch: neutral unprotected (4P 3d), neutral protection at 0.5 Ir (4P 3d + N/2), neutral
protection at Ir (4P 4d).
Zone selective interlocking (ZSI)
A ZSI terminal block may be used to interconnect a number of control units to provide
total discrimination for short-time and earth-fault protection, without a delay before
tripping.
Overload alarm
A yellow alarm LED goes on when the current exceeds the long-time trip threshold.
Fault indications

Test
A mini test kit or a portable test kit may be connected to the test connector on the
front to check circuit-breaker operation. For Micrologic 6.0 A and 7.0 A control units,
the operation of earth-fault or earth-leakage protection can be checked by pressing
the test button located above the test connector.

Neutral protection
On three-pole circuit breakers, neutral protection may be set using the keypad or
remotely using the COM option, to one of four positions: neutral unprotected (4P 3d),
neutral protection at 0.5 Ir (4P 3d + N/2), neutral protection at Ir (4P 4d) and neutral
protection at 1,6 Ir (4P 3d + 1,6N). Neutral protection at 1,6 Ir is used when the
neutral conductor is twice the size of the phase conductors (major load imbalance,
high level of third order harmonics).
On four-pole circuit breakers, neutral protection may be set using a three-position
switch or the keypad: neutral unprotected (4P 3d), neutral protection at 0.5 Ir (4P 3d
+ N/2), neutral protection at Ir (4P 4d). Neutral protection produces no effect if the
long-time curve is set to one of the IDMTL protection settings.

Measurements .........................................................
The Micrologic P control unit calculates in real time all the electrical values (V, A, W,
VAR, VA, Wh, VARh, VAh, Hz), power factors and cosj factors.
The Micrologic P control unit also calculates demand current and demand power
over an adjustable time period. Each measurement is associated with a minimeter
and a maximeter.
In the event of tripping on a fault, the interrupted current is stored. The optional
external power supply makes it possible to display the value with the circuit breaker
open or not supplied.
Instantaneous values
The value displayed on the screen is refreshed every second.
Minimum and maximum values of measurements are stored in memory (minimeters
Default display. Display of a maximum current and maximeters).

Demand metering
The demand is calculated over a fixed or sliding time window that may be
programmed from 5 to 60 minutes. According to the contract signed with the power
supplier, an indicator associated with a load shedding function makes it possible to
avoid or minimise the costs of overrunning the subscribed power. Maximum demand

Note:
All the events are time stampled: time-stamping is activated as soon as time is set manually or by
a supervisor. No external power supply module is required (max. drift of 1 hour per year).

Maximeters
Only the current maximeters may be displayed on the screen.
control unit stores the waveforms. The waveforms may be displayed in the form of
oscillograms by a supervisor via the COM option. Definition is 64 points per cycle.
Pre-defined analogue alarms (1 to 53)
Each alarm can be compared to user-set high and low thresholds. Overrun of a
threshold generates an alarm. An alarm or combinations of alarms can be linked to
programmable action such as selective recording of measurements in a log,
waveform capture, etc.
Event log and maintenance registers
The Micrologic H offers the same event log and maintenance register functions as
the Micrologic P. In addition, it produces a log of the minimums and maximums for
each “real-time” value.
