Inspect the circuit breaker for corrosion damage and report the damage to the carrier.
Replace or dry the desiccants and weld the plastic film. Inspect the packaging at regular
intervals.
Handling
NOTICE
Damage due to incorrect setting down
The circuit breaker and the guide frame must not be set down on their rear side nor on the
terminals of their main circuit connection after removal from the packaging, unless the
suitably shaped wooden board provided has first been placed underneath.
After unpacking, stand the circuit breaker vertically on its underside or lay it horizontally on
its side.
The circuit breaker and the guide frame are shipped together in one packing unit. The circuit
breaker and guide frame are next to each other in the packaging. The circuit breaker can be

Description
2.1 Characteristics of the 3WL10 air circuit breaker
Air circuit breaker 3WL10
14 Manual, 11/2017, L1V30499596002-01
Features
The 3WL10 air circuit breaker meets the following requirements:
●High breaking capacity
●Selective protective response
●Integrated metering function with internal voltage tap and expansion module MF Basic /
MF Advanced (with electronic trip units of the 6-series)
●Connection to a fieldbus communication system or Ethernet-based IP communication
(with electronic trip units of the 6-series)
The most important features of the 3WL10 circuit breaker are:
●Compact dimensions
●Rated current In= 630 / 800 / 1000 / 1250 A
●Three breaking capacity classes: 42 kA, 55 kA, and 66 kA (Icu at 440 V)
●Optionally a fixed breaker or a withdrawable breaker
●Electronic trip units
●Optional integrated metering function (electronic trip units of the 6-series only)
●Use in AC applications
●No derating of the circuit breaker up to +70 °C in accordance with IEC 60947-2
●Modular and easy-to-fit accessories
Benefits
The 3WL10 circuit breaker provides many different advantages:
●Low space requirements
The 3WL10 air circuit breakers are extremely compact. 3-pole and 4-pole devices of size
0 fit into a 400 mm wide switchboard panel. Two 3-pole 3WL10 circuit breakers can also
be installed side by side in a 600 mm wide switchboard panel.
●Highly modular design
Components such as auxiliary releases, spring charging motors, electronic trip units,
external current sensors, auxiliary circuit signaling switches, automatic reset devices, and
interlocks can all be exchanged or retrofitted at a later stage, thus allowing the circuit
breaker to be adapted to new, changing requirements.

Description

Air circuit breaker 3WL10
Manual, 11/2017, L1V30499596002-01 15
●Retrofittable functions for electronic trip units
Upgrading the electronic trip units is possible at any time. This is done simply by
replacing the ETU. For example, the RC functionality can be added by replacing the
rating plug in the ETU660.
Rating plugs, the metering function, and communication modules for the electronic trip
units are available for fast and easy retrofitting and adaptation to changing requirements.
Subsequent upgrading of the ETUs of the 3-series to the ETUs of the 6-series is possible.
●Flexible communication / metering function
The use of modern communication-capable circuit breakers opens up completely new
possibilities in terms of start-up, parameterization, diagnostics, maintenance and
operation. This allows many different ways of reducing costs and improving productivity in
industrial plants, buildings and infrastructure projects to be achieved:
–Simultaneous use of up to two different bus systems, such as PROFIBUS,
PROFINET, Modbus TCP, or Modbus RTU
–Fast and reliable parameterization
–Timely information and response can prevent plant stoppages
–Effective diagnostics management
–Measured values are the basis for efficient load management, for drawing up power
demand profiles, and for allocating energy to cost centers
–Preventive maintenance reduces the risk of expensive plant downtimes
–Metering function with a very wide range of measured values, such as current,
voltage, energy, power
Applications
●As incoming feeder, distribution, coupling and outgoing feeder circuit breakers in
electrical installations
●For switching and protecting motors, capacitors, generators, transformers, busbars, and
cables.
●When connected to an electronic I&C system, the 3WL10 air circuit breakers offer a wide
range of options for monitoring network events.

2.2 Possible uses and portfolio
Air circuit breaker 3WL10
Manual, 11/2017, L1V30499596002-01 17
Portfolio
The 3WL10 air circuit breaker is part of the Siemens 3WL range, which covers all breaking
capacity classes between B and C.
BG Frame size
Frame size and breaking capacity classes
The 3WL10 air circuit breaker has size 0 and is suitable for:
●Rated currents between 630 A and 1250 A
●Rated voltages up to 690 V
The available breaking capacity classes are 42 kA, 55 kA and up to 66 kA at 440 V AC.
Selective response
With its contact system, the 3WL10 air circuit breaker is designed for time-selective
time-delayed tripping.
●A short-circuit-induced trip can be delayed for up to 400 ms (short-time-delayed
short-circuit protection ST).
●For maximum requirements, the instantaneous short-circuit protection (INST) can be
disabled to temporarily deactivate or increase the response threshold of the short-circuit
protection ST up to the Icw value of the device. After this utilizable time and current limit
has been exceeded, the circuit breaker instantaneously trips within 10 ms and interrupts
the overcurrent within 30 ms.
These settings give downstream devices time to clear the fault in the feeder affected (time-
selective response, thus ensuring maximum availability).
On the other hand, a system can be protected specifically by optimization of the circuit
breaker for fast response. In this case, it clears a lower-level fault as quickly as possible,
irrespective of selective response.

2.2 Possible uses and portfolio
Air circuit breaker 3WL10
18 Manual, 11/2017, L1V30499596002-01
Electronic trip unit (ETU)
The 3WL10 circuit breaker provides two series of electronic trip units: Electronic trip units of
the 3-series and electronic trip units of the 6-series. To ensure the protection function of the
device during operation at any time, all electronic trip units are powered via transformers in
each of the main circuits.
The current sensor of the 3WL10 comprises an iron-core transformer for powering the ETU
and a Rogowski coil for sensing the current to be able to detect operating states and fault
conditions precisely. Each transformer can be optimized accordingly for its specific task.
Thanks to the high accuracy of current measurement, the 3WL10 air circuit breaker is
suitable for power/energy measurement. In addition, precise and sensitive adjustment of
ground fault current monitoring is possible.
Depending on the type, the electronic trip units provide the following protection functions:
●Overload protection LT (Long Time)
Adjustable in steps of 40 % to 100 % of the rated current Inof the air circuit breaker.
●Short-time-delayed short-circuit protection ST (short time)
for time-selective response in case of a short-circuit
●Instantaneous short-circuit protection INST
●Protection against residual currents to ground GF (ground fault).
The electronic trip units of the 6-series also provide enhanced protection functions that can
protect against power system anomalies affecting the voltage, frequency, and power flows,
and can provide additional information for energy management and communication
functions:
●Metering functions
●Communication
●Flexible, local, digital inputs and outputs, and an external function box
●Software commissioning support with powerconfig
●Test and analysis options and archiving with parameterization and test devices TD410 or
TD420 and the software powerconfig / powerlog
