Function and Working Principle
The ABB PR122/P-LSIG E1-E6 operates as an intelligent protection module installed within an air circuit breaker system.
During normal operation, the overcurrent release continuously measures electrical parameters such as current values and system conditions. When abnormal current levels are detected, the internal electronic protection logic evaluates the fault type and sends a trip command to the circuit breaker mechanism.
The basic working process includes:
- Monitoring electrical current conditions
- Detecting overload situations
- Identifying short-circuit faults
- Detecting earth fault conditions
- Processing protection algorithms
- Sending trip commands to the breaker
Main protection functions include:
- L – Long-time protection: Protects against overload conditions caused by excessive current over time.
- S – Short-time protection: Provides delayed short-circuit protection.
- I – Instantaneous protection: Provides rapid response to severe short-circuit faults.
- G – Ground fault protection: Detects abnormal current leakage to ground.
