Detais about LSIG protection

Question

Accepted Answer

LSIG protection refers to Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground fault protection settings in circuit breakers.

LSIG protection is commonly used in circuit breakers to provide comprehensive protection against various types of faults.
Long-Time setting protects against overloads by allowing the circuit breaker to trip after a specified time delay.
Short-Time setting protects against short circuits by tripping the circuit breaker faster than the Long-Time setting.
Instantaneous setting provides immediate tripping for high magnitude faults to prevent damage to the system.
Ground fault protection detects faults to ground and trips the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock hazards.
LSIG protection settings can be adjusted based on the specific requirements of the electrical system.
Example: A circuit breaker with LSIG protection may have Long-Time setting of 1 second, Short-Time setting of 50 milliseconds, and Instantaneous setting of 10 milliseconds.
