I. Purpose and Scope of Application
The HYM1L Series Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (hereinafter referred to as
“earth leakage circuit breaker”) is one of the new earth leakage circuit
breakers designed and developed by our company with international
advanced technology. This series of products is suitable for the circuits with
AC 50 Hz, rated isolation voltage of 800 V, rated working voltage of 400 V,
and rated current up to 630 A and below, which can provide indirect contact
protection for people with fatal electric shock, and can also be used to
prevent major fire hazard caused by grounding fault current caused by
equipment insulation damage. It can be used to protect the overload, short
circuit and undervoltage of the line, and can also be used for infrequent
transfer of lines. Furthermore, this series adds the A-type residual current
(with DC component) protection function.
The earth leakage circuit breaker is characterized by small size (equal to that
of the corresponding molded case circuit breaker), high breaking current,
short flashover and adjustable residual current operating time. It can be
equipped with alarm contact, shunt trip, undervoltage release, auxiliary
contact, handle rotation operating mechanism, electric operating mechanism
and other accessories, and can adopt the wiring in front of the plate, behind
the plate and of the plug-in type, which is an ideal product for users.
The product complies with GB/T 14048.2.

6. Electric operating mechanism
When the electric operating mechanism is used for the earth leakage circuit
breaker, reliable closing and opening of the circuit breaker shall be ensured
at any voltage between 85% and 110% of the rated control power supply
voltage.
7. Shunt trip
When the power supply voltage is equal to any voltage between 70% and
110% of the rated control power supply voltage, the circuit breaker can be
reliably interrupted by operating the shunt trip.
8. Undervoltage release
When the power supply voltage drops to 70% ~ 35% of the rated power
supply voltage, the undervoltage release shall act to interrupt the earth
leakage circuit breaker. When the power supply voltage is lower than 35%
of the rated power supply voltage, the undervoltage release shall prevent the
earth leakage circuit breaker from closing. When the power supply voltage is
equal to or greater than 85% of the rated power supply voltage, reliable
closing of the earth leakage circuit breaker shall be ensured.
9. LB earth leakage alarm module (see Figure 1)
The HYM1LB Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker is plugged with LB earth
leakage alarm module on the right side of the circuit breaker. Terminals P1-
P2 of this module are externally connected with AC 400 V or AC 230 V power
supply. When earth leakage occurs in the main circuit of the earth leakage
circuit breaker and IΔ ≥ IΔn, the earth leakage circuit breaker does not trip,
the relay in the alarm module acts, and the terminals S1, S2 and S3 are
internally connected with relay contacts to send out alarm signals.

Where S2-S3 are normally-closed contacts and S1-S2 are normally-open
contacts:

B. When I∆≥ I∆n, the earth leakage indicator light is on, and S2-S3 is open
and S1-S2 is closed.
C. Under the condition that the earth leakage indicator light is on:
(1) If I∆＜I∆n, the alarm state can be released by pressing the "Reset"
button, then the earth leakage indicator light will go out, the alarm state
will be released, and the module will return to the "A" state.
(2) If after the "Reset" button is pressed, the earth leakage indicator will go
out, and it will light up immediately after the "Reset" button is released,
which indicates that when I∆≥ I∆n, the alarm state is not released, and
that the module will remain in the "B" state all the time and will not return
to the "A" state until I∆＜I∆n.
Attention: The HYM1LB Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker will not trip due
to earth leakage fault even if it is not connected to the auxiliary power
supply Us. Whether S2-S3 and S1-S2 are closed in each working state
can be detected by a multimeter.

V. Structure and Principle of Operation
1. This series of earth leakage circuit breakers are electronic circuit
breakers, which are mainly composed of zero-sequence current
transformers, electronically controlled earth leakage trips and circuit
breakers with overload and short-circuit protection. All parts are installed
in a pair of molded cases.

- 8 -
2. When an earth leakage or an electric shock occurs in the protected
circuit, as long as the earth leakage current reaches the set earth
leakage operating current value, the output signal of the secondary
winding of the zero-sequence current transformer will trigger the
thyristor to conduct, and the earth leakage trip will be energized and
pulled in, so that the earth leakage breaker will be tripped, thus cutting
off the power supply to protect against earth leakage and electric shock.
See Figure 2 for the principle of operation.
3. When the protected circuit is overloaded or short-circuited, the thermal-
magnetic trip completes the delay or instantaneous tripping to make the
earth leakage circuit breaker operate, thus cutting off the power supply
to protect against overload or short-circuit.

VII. Use and Maintenance
1. Fix the earth leakage circuit breaker vertically (please use a Phillips
screwdriver to prevent damage to the housing). The appearance of the
earth leakage circuit breaker is in good condition, and no-load operation
works normally. The rated values of the earth leakage circuit breaker
and its accessories shall be consistent with the working conditions of the
installation site. As the earth leakage circuit breaker is equipped with
electronic circuit board, it is forbidden to measure the phase-to-phase
insulation resistance between the outgoing line terminals of the earth
leakage circuit breaker to avoid damaging electronic elements. If the
insulation test is carried out, it’s required to
a) Use a 500 V megger;
b) Measure the insulation resistance between terminals 1-2, 3-4 and
5-6 when the earth leakage circuit breaker is switched off;
c) Measure the insulation resistance between the terminals of the
main circuit and the shell (covered with metal foil) when the earth
leakage circuit breaker is closed;
d) The measured insulation resistance shall not be less than 1.5 MΩ.
2. The incoming line of the power supply must be directly above the earth
leakage circuit breaker, that is, the side marked with "1, 3, 5, N", and the
load conductors (including the neutral wires) must pass through the
earth leakage circuit breaker, and the load neutral wires must be
insulated from the ground.
3. The handle of the earth leakage circuit breaker can be in three positions:
"Closed", "Open" and "Tripped". When the handle is in the trip position,
it shall be pulled in the "Open" direction to make the circuit breaker trip
again, and then the "Closing" operation can be carried out.

4. If the earth leakage circuit breaker is opened due to the failure of the
protected line, the reason shall be found out, and the closing operation
can only be carried out after troubleshooting.
5. Various characteristics of the earth leakage circuit breaker and its
accessories are set by our company according to the order requirements,
and cannot be adjusted freely during use.
6. As required by the user, the rated residual operating current IΔn and
earth leakage operating time shall be set (HYM1L non-delay earth
leakage operating time is not adjustable, while HYM1LY earth leakage
operating time is adjustable).
7. According to Chapter II "Normal Working Conditions" of this instruction
and the above articles of this chapter, the circuit breaker can be closed
and put into operation. During the operation of the circuit breaker, the
testing device shall be operated at least once a month to confirm that
the earth leakage protection function of the circuit breaker is normal.
VIII. Attention
1. The earth leakage circuit breaker cannot protect human body from
electric shock caused by contact with two load lines at the same time,
and therefore users shall pay attention to the electricity safety.
2. Do not test the device by means of short circuit between phase wires
and the ground, so as not to affect the service life of the device.
IX. Ordering Information
When ordering, users must indicate:
1. Name and model of the earth leakage circuit breaker
