DOs in case of electrical shock :

To treat a person who has sustained electrical injury:

Unplug the appliance and/or turn off the MCB (at the fuse box)

- (Merely turning the switch off will not necessarily stop the flow of current)

Call an ambulance

If the victim is not breathing, immediately begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

2

First Aid in case of Electric Shock

Which factors cause an electric shock?

Contact with live wires is often fatal. The intensity of a shock depends on

Voltage

Type of current

Length of exposure time

Path it takes through the body (heart or head are the most dangerous routes)

What can happen if you get an electric shock?

Heart Failure (cardiac arrest)

Burns

Nerve, Muscle, and Organ Damage

Human body's reaction to electric shockWhen excessive electrical currents pass through the human body, the nervous system is thrown out of gear. This causes the body to react to the passage of current through it as follows :

3 mA - A tingling sensation is felt

10-15 mA - Muscle spasm and tightening occurs

20-30 mA - The heart may fibrillate; severe shock is felt

>50 mA - Lethal. Fibrillation of the heart occurs

3

First Aid in case of Electric Shock

To prevent shock:

- Place the victim's feet higher than the head by about a foot

- Cover person with a blanket or coat if available

Check for indications of shock:

- Cold, Moist Skin

- Fast Heartbeat

- Paleness

- Feeling Faint

Check for burns, which may not be visible from the outside. Sites to inspect in particular are:

- The fingers and toes

- Skin touching against metal accessories like jewellery or a belt buckle

Take off any clothing over the burn-but only if it comes away without pulling skin along with it

As long as the skin is unbroken, you can rinse the burn in cool, running water to ease pain

Cover any surface burns with a sterile dressing or clean cloth

Separate burnt fingers or toes with the dressing

Take the victim to the emergency room-even if the person is breathing, is conscious, and insists that he is all right

Donts in case of electrical shock :

Do not touch the person with your bare hands before you are certain there is no live electricity

WARNING: Never move the person if they are touching a power line or other source of high voltage. Under such circumstances keep a distance of at least 20 feet.

The above precautions are for your own safety

CAUTION: For the safety of the victim, do not move him/her if spinal injury is possible from an explosion or fall associated with the accident.

Do not remove clothing that is stuck to the wound

- Never put ice on a burn

- Do not apply ointments or grease to burned skin (as with burns from flames)

4

First Aid in case of Electric Shock

Do not bandage with a towel, blanket, or cotton dressing that will stick to the wound. (Instead, use a sheet for large area)

Take care not to break any blisters that have formed

Shield the burned area from chafing

What should you do if not sure if the power is off?

If turning off the electricity is impossible or you can't tell whether it is off (unless it is high-voltage current), then to approach the victim:

Stand on a mat (preferably rubber, but piled up newspapers/ magazines could be used if necessary), and

Extend a wooden or cloth object, such as a

- Broom handle

- Chair

- Piece of clothing, or

- Rope

Wiring Diagram

RCCB is a current operated voltage independent device. They provide protection even when the voltage is dip or neutral conductor is interrupted. In a healthy circuit, the vector sum of all the currents in 3 phases and neutral is equal to zero. In case of current leakage to earth, the device senses the imbalance between incoming and outgoing currents in the system and provides automatic disconnection from supply.

Why use an RCCBs?

RCCBs are devices which protect the user from the harmful effects of electric shocks. These function by detecting the residual current, comparing the value with the rated residual operating value and opening the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value.

RCCBs are an efficient means for ensuring peoples protection against electrical shocks resulting from direct and indirect contact.

RCCBs are used for various applications depending upon different current sensitivities.

RCCBs Application

30 mA personal protection domestic installation / direct contact

100 mA limited personal protection / indirect contact

300 mA building / fire protection

IEC 61008 defines RCCBs as per following class : Class AC-for normal AC supply networks having no harmonics Class A-for disturbed AC supply networks having harmonic disturbances Class B-class A + for DC networks

15

Why Hi RCCBs?RCCB being a very sensitive device may trip due to some electrical disturbances in the system, which deforms the sine wave. These disturbances can be: External Disturbance - HV network disturbance, lightening Internal Disturbances - Switching surges, harmonics, non linear loads like

VFD, thyristor, electronic loads, pulsated DC loads

These disturbances may interfere with the operation of RCCBs connected to network, apart from other electronic devices connected to system.

These disturbances can have following effects on the working of residual current device:

Nuisance Tripping RCCB may trip without a genuine earth leakage Continuity of supply is affected, though no compromise in peoples safety

Blinding RCCB may not trip on a genuine earth leakage Peoples safety is no longer guaranteed

In both of the above cases, either continuity of supply or peoples safety is compromised which is not desirable.

16

RCCBs

Technical details :

Protects a circuit automatically in the event of an earth leakage

Conforms to IEC 61008 IS12640-1

With earth fault indicator & positive contact indication

Electronic filter circuits for treatment of electrical signals to improve the performance compared to standard RCCBs

Earth leakage tripping band of 80 - 100% of sensitivity which is higher than normal RCCBs

Selection / installation tips for RCCBs / RCBOsCareful selection of RCCBs is required for ensuring optimum protection to human life & installation.1. The current rating of RCCB should not be less than circuit design current

2. Select 2P RCCBs for single phase supply distribution and loads

3. Select 4P RCCBs for three phase supply distribution and loads

4. Select the correct trip sensitivity as per following table:

For protection of human life against direct contact 30mA

For protection of human life against indirect contact 100mA

For protection of installation against electrical fires 300mA

5. Neutral wire should not be looped. Looping of neutral may cause unwanted tripping of RCCBs

6. RCCBs must be tested regularly (once in a month) by pressing Test trip push button to check its healthiness

7. Use IP65 enclosures for installation of devices in dusty and humid outdoor area

8. RCCBs shall only be connected downstream of MCB

9. Ensure correct earthing throughout the installation. Periodically check that all earthing points are healthy

10. Wire shall be terminated tightly on the device terminals to ensure proper connection

17

Technical details :

For electrical networks with high harmonics / pulsated DC currents and transients

Conforms to IEC 61008 & EMC standard EN 61543

With earth fault indicator & positive contact indication

Correct selection of MCBs

Correct selection of MCBs is very important to ensure optimum protection to installations.

Generally in any installation, we have different kinds of loads like incandescent lights, HPMV lamps, Fluorescent Lights, Motors, Fans, Pumps, Electronic loads like UPS, Servers, Computers and Printers etc. which all have different electrical characteristics.

It is very important to choose right kind of MCBs to protect each type of load, depending upon load characteristics.

B curve MCBs are used for :

Protection of resistive loads that have starting current equal to their running current

Protection of DG sets (since DG sets have low short-circuit capacity)

B curve MCBs have magnetic threshold setting between 3 5 x Ir

C curve MCBs are used for :

Slightly inductive loads with moderate (below 5 Ir*) starting current

General houseload loads like lights, fans & household electrical appliances

C curve MCBs have magnetic threshold setting at 5 10 x Ir

D curve MCBs are suitable for :

Inductive loads with a high (5-10 x Ir) inrush current

Suitable for UPS, small motor & pumps, small transformers etc.

D curve MCBs have magnetic threshold setting at 10 20 x Ir which does not give nuisance tripping while starting the load

Ir rated current

Following are some of the main points which should be kept in mind while selecting MCBs for a particular application.

The current rating of MCBs should be more than load current in the circuit;For example, if the load current in a circuit is 9A, the minimum MCB rating should be 10A.

The current carrying capacity of wire should be more than MCB current rating; For example if we select MCB of 10A, then current carrying capacity of wire should be more than 10A.

MCBs are available in B, C & D tripping category. They should be selected as per load characteristics as shown in table on next page.

Types of MCBs to be used for different loads

Causes of over-voltage :

Neutral break in system

Faulty connections during installation / maintenance work

Poor voltage regulation

Over-compensation by capacitors (in industries)

Neutral break is shown below, is the most common phenomenon:

In the case of the neutral being broken, houses 2 and 3 are supplied by an artificial neutral, created by the downstream network. One of them shall experience over-voltage and the other, under-voltage due to difference in their instantaneous loading conditions.

Problems due to over-voltage :

Sudden failure of electronic devices

Reduction in useful life of equipment

Increased failure, high running & maintenance cost

Heating in systems

Insulation failure

Hager offers Over-voltage release MZ209, which continuously monitors voltage between phase & neutral. It breaks the supply by opening the circuit breaker in case the voltage between phase and neutral conductor increases from the pre-determined level (280V AC) and thus prevents damage to household devices.

20

Over-voltage in residential & commercial installation is a common problem which can cause serious damage to household electronic & electrical devices. Over-voltage not only reduces the operating life of equipment, it also increases running & maintenance cost.

Over-voltage release-MZ209

Over-voltage release MZ209 can be used with hager MCBs, RCCBs & RCBOs to provide total protection to installation against overload, short-circuits, earth-leakage & over-voltage faults in a system.

The over voltage auxiliary prevents re-closing until the voltage comes back within the normal threshold.

Indication that the protection device has tripped due to over voltage is provided by a flag on the auxiliary. The flag indicator appears Red if the tripping is caused due to an over voltage.
