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:

1. In the library, select the class, manufacturer, and type to get to the breaker data.
2. In the window on the right, click a cell in the Style column for the style you want to modify.



3. 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 Descriptions

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.
