Adding Coordination Data to the Breaker Library
Based on a manufacturer’s datasheet on breaker series coordination, you can add or modify the breaker data in the library, as follows:
- In the library, select the class, manufacturer, and type to get to the breaker data.
- In the window on the right, click a cell in the Style column for the style you want to modify.
- Click the Series Coordination tab. This is the list of downstream breakers that coordinate with the current breaker style. The various columns represent the criteria for coordination, as described below.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Voltage |
The information in this row is valid only for the shown voltage. |
|
Upstream Amp Rating |
The information in this row is valid only for the shown Amp Rating of upstream breaker. If the Upstream Amp Rating is not a criterion, then All is selected for the Description. |
|
Poles |
The information in this row is valid only for the shown number of poles for downstream breakers. |
|
Min/Max Amp Rating |
These two columns provide the range of Trip Amps of downstream breaker for which the row is valid. |
|
SST Plug Amps |
If a certain SST plug size needs to be used for coordination, this column is used. |
|
Max Coord (kA) |
This is the maximum short circuit current in kA to which coordination is possible. |
