​DC-Specific Design​

​Inheriting Schneider Electric's Quality Assurance​
● Building upon AC products, we have created and designed specific characteristics for DC applications to ensure the reliability of DC products.
● Leveraging Schneider Electric's extensive industrial experience in AC applications and recognized expertise in current interruption, a series of high-performance DC products has been developed.
● ​​ComPacT NSX​​ and ​​Masterpact NW​​ series feature:
● Arc chamber electrodes specifically designed for DC applications (e.g., 100kA per pole at 250V for ComPacT NSX, 85kA for two poles at 900V for Masterpact NW).
● Fast trip units developed for DC applications.
● Simple, reliable optimized pole connection and insulation choices.

​Optimized Solutions for Various DC Systems​

● Due to cost and technical optimization needs, various DC systems require series or parallel connection of two-pole, three-pole, or four-pole circuit breakers.
● ​​ComPacT NSX​​ and ​​Masterpact NW​​ series products enable series connection, optimizing high-voltage breaking capacity. Series connection reduces the voltage across each pole terminal (total voltage divided by two, three, or four depending on the breaker type) and provides the full breaking capacity of the entire device for all pole operations.
● This enables interruption of short-circuit currents at high voltages and optimizes the solution (e.g., ComPacT NSX at 100 kA per pole 250V in three-pole series can be used for a 750V system, reducing cost compared to a 750V solution).
● ​​ComPacT NSX​​ series products enable parallel connection, optimizing the utilized rated current.

​Optimized, Reliable Series or Parallel Connection​

​Series Connection - Controls Temperature Rise and Ensures Performance​
● Schneider Electric DC circuit breakers comply with IEC 60947-1 and 2 product standards.
● To achieve this, series connection meets:
● Temperature rise conditions. Connection methods specifically designed for heat dissipation demonstrate a thermal model equivalent to that of AC applications. The equipment can dissipate the temperature rise generated by the relatively short series wiring.
● Optimal safety conditions. Designed according to connection methods for extreme operating conditions (insulation and safety clearances, ultimate breaking capacity, high pollution degree, etc.).
​Parallel Connection - Optimization​
● Some systems require products to handle high power (currents reaching hundreds or thousands of amperes) at low voltages (mostly ≤ 250V).
● ​​ComPacT NSX​​ circuit breakers can meet such requirements through parallel connection schemes.
● This technology increases the breaking current by two, three, or four times depending on the circuit breaker type, thereby reducing the cost of these solutions.
