M-PACT Plus
Rated from 400 to 4000A the M-PACT Plus circuit
breaker has been designed to meet the most
stringent demands in fault detection and safe
interruption thereof.
Available in 2 frame sizes:
- frame size 1 ranging from 400 to 2500A
- frame size 2 ranging from 800 to 4000A
The range has been developed to be aesthetically
and technically coordinated with other protective
devices within the GE industrial product ranges.
The breaker range has a common height and depth and
is available in both fixed pattern and drawout versions
which can be manually or electrically operated.
Designed to offer multiple mains connection options it
also comes with a wide range of easy-to-install
accessories.

Fixed Circuit Breaker
All M-PACT Plus fixed pattern air circuit breakers incorporate
a stored energy mechanism. The spring can be charged
either manually or electrically via a motor operator that is
automatically activated after the closing operation.
IP43 front panel and door escutcheon seals are standard
features with IP20 protected secondary isolating contacts.
For enhanced protection, an optional IP54 door panel is also
available.

Withdrawable Circuit Breaker
Pre-mounted into a self-contained 'cassette', this versatile
circuit breaker can be inserted or withdrawn via sliding rails
using a racking drive mechanism controlled by a racking
handle. It provides three set positions:
Disconnected / Test / Connected.
Any attempt to withdraw the unit whilst in service will
automatically trip the breaker, either by the racking position
safety mechanism or by the insertion of the racking handle.
It can be racked to the disconnected position with the cubicle
door closed or open.
• Insulated, earthed steel shutters to isolate the main
contact zone
• Front access padlocking for safety shutters
• Secure padlocking in the "Disconnect" position
• Clearly visible operational position indication
• Carriage position switch (optional)
• Termination: Flat copper palms (standard) with captive
M10 fixing nuts
• 'T' terminal adaptors for horizontal/vertical connection
(optional)
• Front access connections (optional)
• Automatic disconnect of secondary circuits
• Lifting lugs for ease of removing the circuit breaker from
the cassette
• Front access of secondary terminals for simple connection
• Cassette side mounting fixing parts (optional)
Installation
Circuit breakers are delivered pre-mounted in the cassette
(standard)
Versatile fixing awrrangements allow mounting onto any
switchboard or cubicle using four M8 bolts (see dimensional
drawings for mounting details and recommended clearance
distances)

M-PACT Plus
State of the Art Electronic Trip Units
• A line offering a new range of electronic trip units designed to extend and/or upgrade the
functionality offered by the existing M-PACT Plus air circuit breaker.
• Two types are available. The simple and effective MPRO-27 and the MPRO-50 offering
extended functionality.
• Each has a LCD screen with ammeter and a menu driven setting interface, allowing a simple
and accurate setting of all parameters.
• This global line of electronic trip units uses the most recent technology to offer each user an
unique combination of selectivity speed and functionality.
Plug'n Play
Electronic trip units are normally supplied factory fitted.
However spares are available that can be simply plugged in
to breakers installed in the field.(1)
Each trip unit then needs to be adjusted to the required
settings. If the installation is not powered up the installed
battery pack or the seperately available test kit with Power
Pack can be used as alternate power source.
(1) When ordering a spare trip unit the serial number of the
installed breaker is needed for the factory settings
MPRO-27 & MPRO-50
The basic MPRO-27 type has been designed to replace
the existing MPRO-17 and MPRO-18 plus units offering an
extended functionality and a standard ammeter.
The MPRO-50 type replaces the existing MPRO-30 and
MPRO-40 designs covering an extended functionality with
protection devices as fuse links, overload protection and
reduced instantaneous (RELT). Each MPRO-50 comes with a
simple to connect 4 wire modbus communciation option.
Main Adjustment Options
LT-LTD protection
Each device has an overload setting range of 0.4 to a times
In and offer a choice of 22 time bands designed for use with
circuit breakers.
A second set of 22 time bands shaped to match the time
current curves of fuses is available on the MPRO-50 type.
ST-STD protection
A timed delayed short circuit protection is installed with a
current setting of 2 to 12 times the set LT current value. The
short circuit protection time can be set, at one of 17 bands
ranging from 90 milliseconds to 1 second.
Optionaly this device can be set to one of three I2t curves.
I-protection
A switchable and selective instantaneous protection with
a setting range of 2 to 15 times the breaker rating that is
programmed to wait one half cycle until the downstream
device has reacted.
Other protection features
A host of other protection devices is availble including Ground
Fault sum and Ground Fault source return (allowing UEF, SEF
& REF) and a reduced instantaneous device. The reduced
instanataneous device allows the user to conditionally
programme the breaker to trip faster and at lower short
circuit settings than it would on the standard instantaneuos
device.
This RELT device allows the user to reduce the short circuit
current level and its time span, thus reducing the amount of
electrical energy in the direct vicinity of the breaker.

M-PACT Plus
Accessories
A wide range of optional accessories have been developed
that are compatible with all M-PACT Plus air circuit breakers,
regardless of nominal rating or frame size. Each one
incorporates 'easy-fit' design features for quick installation,
either in the factory or by the user on site.
Motorised spring charging unit
The unique motor/gearbox unit is specially designed to
operate with the full range of M-PACT Plus breakers.
It is easily fitted with just two bolts. In the event of circuit
breaker closure, this unit will automatically recharge the
spring in readiness for instant reclosure should the need
arise. High speed recharging ensures that the springs are
fully charged within approximately three seconds following a
release. As an optional feature, a "springs charged" contact is
available for the motor unit.
Circuit breaker closing coil
The closing coil is an easy-to-fit, clip-on unit, with simple
plug-in connectors. This permits either local or remote release
of the spring charged closing mechanism by electrical
operation.
An additional anti-pumping safety feature also ensures that
the electrical closing signal must be released before further
closure is attempted, and a cut-off is instigat-ed should a
closing signal be maintained.
Because each coil operates within a wide voltage range,
the number of individually rated coils required is drastically
reduced.
Shunt trip
Energisation, locally or remote, will instantaneously activate
the circuit breaker mechanism, ensuring rapid disconnection
of the main contacts.
In addition, a series connected auxiliary switch ensures
automatic isolation whenever the circuit breaker is open.
Shunt trip releases also have a wide operational voltage
range, and they include the same easy-fit, clip-on/plug-in
connectors as the closing coil above.
Undervoltage release
Instantaneously releases the circuit breaker trip mechanism
should the supply voltage dip below the pre-set value.
Simple to install, these devices have the same easy-fit
features as previously described.
Note: This is a 'no-volt/ no-close device. The circuit breaker
cannot be closed (manually or electrically) unless the
undervoltage release coil is energised.
Time delay undervoltage release Similar to the above, but
this electronic device prevents nuisance tripping of the circuit
breaker if circuit interruption is not desirable when supply
voltage drop is only transient. Fixed time delay 3 sec ±1sec.
Auxiliary trip combination
The M-PACT Plus circuit breaker can be equipped with the
following auxiliary trips or releases 1 x Shunt trip + 1 x Closing
