Summary

3. Protection of life and property

4. Protection of life and property
France
People die of electrocution
People suffer serious injuries
Securing an installation means preventing, by all possible means, a person from sustaining a dangerously high current

5. The electrical risk People risk : electrical contact in Low Voltage
Safety voltage for people
AC voltage : 50 V dry atmosphere (25V wet atmosphere)
DC voltage : 120 V dry atmosphere (60V wet atmosphere)
Fire risk for equipements and installations
300 mA can generate fire in installations (leakage current)
Direct contact
Indirect contact
Uc = contact voltage

6. Effect of current on human body IEC 60479-1
AC voltage
15 to 100 Hz
No let go
Current on-time (ms)
Perception
Fibrillation
AC-1 : Perception AC-2 : Involontary contractions AC-3 : Difficulty in breathing AC-4 : Serious pathophysiological effects

7. How to protect ?
Challenge : very low current detection (not accessible with overcurrent protection)
People protection  30 mA
Fire protection risk  300 mA
1. Principal protection : forbid dangerous electrical contacts with live conductors
Distance / Insulation / Equipotentiality
2. Additionnal protection : Earth Leakage Protection
 Residual Current Device

8. Protection of life and property
Differential protection to protect against isolation faults and optimize continuity of service
Ensure protection against isolation faults
Protects people against direct or indirect contacts Protects property against the risks of destruction and fire
Optimize continuity of service in installations
Measure earth current leakage to ground in order to get isolation status Centralize information with communication to organize preventive maintenance and create an installation historic

16. Vigirex relays range
Protection relays
Interrupt the supply of power to the monitored system in the event of a fault
If you protect your installation you are also monitoring it but…
… If you monitor your installation you aren’t protecting it
Monitoring relays
Indicate overruns of leakage current thresholds
They reset automatically when the fault is no longer present
