2Generality
The BY11600 is a separate type B differential current protection (and monitoring) device (MRCD), according to
Annex M of the European standard CEI EN 60947-2: 2019-03, identical to the international standard IEC 60947-2:
2016 -06 / COR1: 2016-11.
It is built in a sealable container for 3-module DIN 46277 (EN 50022) bar, with protection of the adjustments by
means of a transparent door, with access to the 2 operating buttons (Test and Reset) with a special tool.
It is classified as MRCD with voltage source, at a nominal voltage of 230 Vac 50/60 Hz.
It can function both as a non-delayed and delayed device, according to the requirements of the standard.
It is designed for control on a three-phase network at 400V 50/60 Hz but also single-phase, and can operate for
frequencies greater than 400Hz (up to a maximum of 1kHz).
It uses a separate Bytronic detection device (Current Transformer, CT) of the TORB series, to be chosen based on
the use of 6 models, with an internal diameter between 35 and 210mm.
The BY11600 is able to recognize which detection device it is connected to, thanks to the "CT recognition
procedure”, Described in detail below.
Overall, the BY11600 has 8 step current settings (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, 5 and 10A), one of which is instantaneous
(0.03A) and the other 7 delayed, with 9 step-adjustable non-operation times (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 5 and
10 s).
Based on the CT used, only the current flows that it is able to manage are made available.
For any selected current flow rate, tripping is guaranteed for a sinusoidal differential current of more than 10
times at the rated frequency and 20 times direct current, keeping the non-tripping time when in the delayed
mode.
The BY11600 has 2 relay outputs of 230V 10A AC1 as standard, one with a 'fault' for controlling suitable
interruption devices or for monitoring intervention, and the other with 'alarm', fully programmable by the user,
for example to monitor residual current of 6mA.
It also has a 128x128 pixel high contrast 'ink look' graphic display, on which the settings and measurements are
shown in detail, as well as the operating states and alarm / fault conditions.
During normal operation, all the information relating to the measurements (Irms, Iac and Idc), adjustments of the
Failure output and type of detection device are collected on the single measurement page that is always visible.
No button action is required to view other information. The possibility of testing or restoring is also reported. In
case of intervention, the display page automatically changes to show its diagnostic data. Upon reset, the main
page reappears. All this, after installation, allows you to use the instrument even after a long time without the aid
of the instruction manual.
The particular technology with which the BY11600 was created makes it practically immune to magnetic fields
external to the detection device (e.g. terrestrial magnetic field) and also does not require any degaussing
procedure for the CT. In addition, the devices of the TORB series are practically insensitive to temperature
variations within the expected operating range.
The alarm / fault conditions indicated on the display are also indicated by the 2 LEDs with which it is equipped,
one red with high brightness (Fault) and one green for the indication of ON and alarm.
It is also possible to perform the 'Reset' remotely on a standard opto-isolated input.
By using the BY11800 add-on module, the BY11600 can be monitored remotely on a high-speed opto-isolated
RS485 network, with MODBUS RTU or ASCII MODBUS protocol with automatic recognition.

3.2 Choice of detection device (TORB)
The detection device must NECESSARILY be of Bytronic manufacture and belong to the "TORBxxx" family.
Bytronic declines any responsibility deriving from the use of non-original devices.
The number represented after the prefix "TORB" represents the internal diameter of the hole for the passage of the cables.
The limits of use of the various devices are summarized in the table:

Table 1: Choice of detection device
Note (1): The 0.03A range is not available when combining this model.
Note (2): The minimum selectable range is 0.1A but, only at this range, the measurement error is not guaranteed (can be
greater, max. +/- 10%).
Use a sensing device having an internal diameter at least double the diameter of the cable or cable bundle.
All models can withstand the overload regime determined by the non-tripping limit current (Inno), in the
absence of a differential current I. However,in order to guarantee intervention in all conditions in the
presence of I, the following system prescriptions must be respected, especially for the 'Passage of
conductors in the detection device' (3.3.4).
3.3 Planting requirements
3.3.1 Short circuit and overload protection
An upstream protection device against overloads and short-circuit currents must be provided upstream.
The protection device must have a breaking capacity at least equal to the short circuit current presumed at the point of
installation.
3.3.2 Auxiliary power protection
The connection of the auxiliary power supply (Us) must take place via 1A protection fuses.
3.3.3 Connection and positioning of the detection device
The type of connection of the detection device is all the more important as:
•the currents to be detected are low and for which it is required to intervene and / or
•the installation environment is hostile, due to the presence of strong radio frequency electromagnetic fields (e.g.
repeaters, radio links, transmitters, etc.) or due to the presence in the system of elements which are in turn
disturbing elements such as inverters, phase cutting, tripping of remote control switches etc. etc., and / or
•the connection distance between the detection device and the MRCD is long
Clearly it would be desirable that ALL precautions be taken to avoid untimely interventions, which can cause significant
economic losses due to the unnecessary detachment of the load (system restart, stop important processes, etc ...).

However, adopting all the precautions beforehand even where objectively it is not necessary, means facing higher plant costs
which in small plants can be significant.
It is therefore advisable to follow an 'increasing guarantees' scheme, establishing what is necessary according to the Table 2
and gradually taking more targeted (and expensive) measures if problems arise with the system built.

Table 2: Choice of the type of basic connection to the detection device
Note [1]: The device is optional and when present, its nature is studied on a case by case basis
Note [2]: The device is strongly recommended and in any case when present, its nature is studied on a case by case basis
Note [3]: The device is mandatory and its nature is studied on a case-by-case basis
Regardless of the type of connection made, the following precautions must ALWAYS be taken:
1. The sensor wiring must be SEPARATED from the other wiring in the panel (it must not be
'bundled' or put in the same sheaths with power, power or control cables).
2. The wiring must follow a path as far as possible away from cables and power devices
3. The CT MUST be installed as far as possible from power and control devices (remote switches,
electromagnets, inverters, transformers, drives, permanent magnets, etc., etc. ..).
Being by its nature and operation a device sensitive to both continuous and alternating magnetic
fields, it is absolutely necessary to avoid that it can 'receive' electromagnetic signals from nearby
devices.

In detail, the types of connection and the recommended methods are as follows:
TYPE OF CONNECTION /
ADDITIONAL DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
Twisted cable.
2 standard electric wires, at least 0.5 sq. Mm in section, which must be carefully
intertwined (twisting) with each other.
It is not suitable for currents <0.1A and for distances greater than 50cm.
It is the most economical solution but it exposes to untimely tripping risks in the
presence of EMC disturbances.
Shielded cable with EMC fixing.
The maximum recommended length for connection with the detection device is
3m.
This is the solution to always adopt when you can.
Connections over 3mt for differential currents <0.1A (0.03A) are always STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED. The risk of untimely interventions, despite the precautions and
precautions, are almost inevitable.
We always recommend good quality cable, for example type BELDEN 9841 or
equivalent cable (available on request). The shielding must be connected to the DIN
bar (which in turn must be connected to the switchboard and to the earth) but ONLY
near the connection terminals of the BY11600 (not at other points), using special
metal clamps. Do not connect the shield in other ways (e.g. with welded wire).
There are solutions for the "fast" connection of the shielding to the DIN bar, such as
this type of hook:
This hook (for BELDEN 9841 cable or equivalent) is also available on request.
Additional EMC devices
ALWAYS apply for connections> 3mt.
They can be of various kinds, and consist of elements such as ferrites or special
shielded cables with reinforced shielding, also in combination with each other.
Their use in particular cases may also be necessary for connections of less than 3m
in length, in particularly hostile environmental conditions. The appropriate
application of these devices requires the intervention of our Technical Assistance
service, because they are highly dependent on the type of system and specific
environmental conditions.
Regardless of the type of cables used, the connection on the detection device must take place with 6.3mm Female Faston,
to be crimped on each of the 2 conductors and to be inserted indifferently (without polarity) in the TORBxxx contacts.
When using shielded cable:
•DO NOT connect the shield near the TORB detection device (isolate it), e
•From the BY11600 side, the 2 wires to be inserted in the respective terminals must be stripped (7mm).

3.3.4 Passage of conductors in the detection device
The following requirements must be observed:
•Use a detection device having an internal diameter (d2) at least double the diameter of the cable or cable bundle
(d1), and in any case in accordance with the Table 1;
•Keep the conductors together, as close as possible to the center of the sensing device. A conductor closer than
the others to the edge of the cable passage can determine the saturation of the ferromagnetic core with
consequent non-linear, incorrect or even absent response;
•To help adequately protect the detection device from any mechanical damage due to the repulsive effect of the
conductors as a result of any short-circuit currents (single-phase) not intercepted in time by the short-circuit
protection device, mechanically block the cable bundle immediately upstream and downstream (e.g. with clamps,
tapes or high-resistance clamps). The lock must be able to withstand a force F in Newton of at least:
        

Where is it:
Icc is the effective value of the presumed short-circuit current at the CT, in Ampere;
Lis the distance between the upstream and downstream blockages in meters;
dis the distance between the conductors in meters;
depending on the type of system and the direction and phase of the currents in each conductor.
•The bundle of cables that passes through the detection device must not have bends at a distance of less than 2 times
the diameter in both directions;
•In extremely critical cases, install a ferromagnetic sleeve arranged around the conductors inside the detection device
with diameter D = internal diameter and length L = 2D, to make uniform the distribution of the magnetic field,
avoiding untimely intervention by high inrush currents ;
•The detection device must be crossed in the same direction by all the active conductors of the line, including the
neutral (when present). The neutral must NOT be earthed downstream of the detection device;
•In the event that the protected power line has a metal armature that must be earthed, this must NOT cross the CT.
If it is grounded and crosses the CT, it must be passed back to the CT to cancel any fault current that may travel
through it.
