The new xStart system has been developed taking consideration of standards which are valid worldwide, and thus can be used all over the world.
All demands of the differing test authorities (e.g.: UL, CSA, CCC) are fulfilled.
Consequently, export of the devices is simplified significantly and double inventory requirement (Europe and overseas devices) is no longer necessary.

3. ICD Compliance: Gateway to China
The CCC mark is required for specified products for sale in China
Chinese GB standards are similar to IEC standards
ICD Products requiring the CCC mark are:
Low-voltage motor control components, auxiliary contacts
Pushbuttons, relays above 36V and below 1000V
Indicator lights, changeover switches, limit switches
Low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies
XT complies with and is marked with CCC

4. ICD Compliance: Gateway to China
ICD products in process for CCC marking:
S801 N, R, T, V frames pending
Partial Freedom line pending
50mm DP line in process
IT contactors/starters have Certified Body certificates, could be CCC certified by repeating EMC tests in Chinese lab.

5. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
European Union Directive
Requires the marking and registration of
specific electrical & electronic products,
primary focus is consumer goods.
Requires the collection and reuse or recycling at the end of the product life cycle.
The cost is borne by the producer or importer of the equipment.
Recycleable product marking

6. Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
European Union Directive
Restricts the use of several hazardous substances in certain electrical & electronic products.
Implementation date is July 2006
Restricted substances
Hexavalent Chromium
PBB & PBDE
Mercury
Cadmium
Lead
XT will conform by end of 2005
Minor modifications to screw heads and large contactor pcb’s

7. Meeting UL Type E / Type F with XTPR MMP + XTCE Contactors=
The combination of the “Type E” motor starter with a contactor results in a “Type F” motor-starter combination.
Explanation “Type E”: Mechanical (manually actuated) switching, protection against overload and short-circuit in the device.
Explanation “Type F”: Mechanical (manually actuated) switching, protection against overload and short-circuit in the device, electromechanical control (contactor).
Manual Type E Controller plus contactor = Type F Combination Motor Controller

10. Applications: Group Motor Installation
Group Motor Installations
NEC Group Motor rules in Article
UL requires that overload and controller be listed for Group Motor applications
Magnetic (short circuit) trip of the MMP provides excellent group motor ratings
Up to 65kA maximum available short circuit current
XTPB & XTPR devices are UL Listed for Group Installations
See Application Manual for more information

11. UL Distinctions – UL 508 Type E
UL 508 Type E Manual Self Protected Combination Starter (MMP Alone)
Single Device having integral short circuit protection, a main set of contacts, and motor overload protection
Legitimate short circuit protective device & disconnect means for the down stream motor
Still requires an upstream feeder short circuit protective device but does not require a dedicated in branch circuit protection or disconnect means
The unit clears a fault and does not experience welding of the power poles
Remains fully functional should a short circuit within its ratings occur
XTPR 32 & 63amp are UL Listed as Type E devices

12. UL Distinctions – UL 508 Type F
UL 508 Type F Combination Motor Controller (CMC)
CMC consists of a Line Side Adapter, MMP,
Wiring Connector Link and XTCE Contactor
MMP is a self-protected manual combination starter and provides complete motor branch circuit protection
Disconnecting Means
Short Circuit Protection
Overload Protection
Contactor switches the motor instead of the MMP
Contactor is not self-protected
Provides long life required for most motor switching applications (millions vs. MMP thousands of operations)
Magnetic coil provides for remote control via pushbuttons/PLC
High fault Type 2 coordination achieved without oversizing
XTFC (15, 32 & 52A) are UL Listed as Type F devices

13. Underwriters Laboratory UL 508A – Control Panels

Independent Testing Company
Offering 3rd Party Certification
NEMA Centric, but Going Beyond (cUL)
Consistent with NEC
Offer a Variety of Listing Services
UL 891 – Deadfront Switchboards
UL 1058 – Drawout ACBs
UL 67 – Panelboards

14. Applying the Standard Short Circuit Protection – Panel Rating
No change to the standard, but….
Enforcement Begins April 2006
Customers will have to label with a value
Customers can use fuse table or listed combinations with breakers

15. Applying the Standard
Short Circuit Current Ratings
Requires marking SCCR (Short Circuit Current Rating) on industrial control panels.
To provide info for safe installation and inspection of panels based on application: i.e. available fault current to panel.
 SCCR of the panel is based on one of the following:
Short circuit rating of a listed and labeled assembly
Short circuit rating established using an approved method – UL 508A-2001 Supplement B is an example
Components not to be considered in Short Circuit Current Ratings
Transformers, reactors, dry-type capacitors, resistors, varistors, and voltmeters

16. Applying the Standard OEM / Panelbuilder determines SCCR on panel by:
Short Circuit Current Ratings
OEM / Panelbuilder determines SCCR on panel by:
Short circuit test of the panel construction
Obtain documented tested combinations of components list from a manufacturer who has tested and documented combinations of components, and add these combinations to panelbuilder’s UL procedure.
Evaluate panel per UL508A, Supplement B (required by 4-06 if jurisdiction does not adopt 2005 NEC earlier).
All components in power circuit must have ratings
Panel SCCR is the lowest component short circuit rating
Components or combination of components
Supplement B provides tables of components w/o marked short circuit ratings

17. ICD Action Plan
Developing list of EE components with short circuit values (cat no., short circuit current at application voltage, UL file info, current limiting yes/no) from UL files.
Developing list of EE combination short circuit values (SCPD cat no., motor control cat no., short circuit current at application voltage, UL file info) from UL files.
Product Line Teams Involved: Power control, Drives, Breakers, Disconnect Switches and Transformers
Provide lists to customers via UL data base and website
Target completion date of August 2005
