Masterpact MTZ1 Anti-Pumping Function

Masterpact MTZ devices provide a mechanical anti-pumping function. In the event

of simultaneous maintained opening and closing orders, the standard mechanism
blocks the main contacts in the open position. After a trip due to an electrical fault
or intentional opening using the manual or electrical controls, the closing order
must first be discontinued, then reactivated to close the circuit breaker. This
prevents a cycle of closing and opening.
When remote operation features are used, allow at least four seconds for the
spring charging motor (MC) to charge the device closing spring completely before
actuating the shunt close (XF).
To prevent the device from closing prematurely, the ready-to-close contact (PF)
can be connected in series with the shunt close (XF).

Masterpact MTZ1 Control Modes

The control mode of the Micrologic X control unit sets how the opening and closing
functions of the circuit breaker are controlled.
Two control modes are available: Manual and Auto.
Manual mode only accepts orders made using one of the following:
• The mechanical buttons on the front of the circuit breaker.
• The external pushbutton connected to the undervoltage release (MN)/shunt
trip (MX)/shunt close (XF).
• The electrical closing pushbutton (BPFE).
Auto mode has two settings: Local or Remote. All orders accepted in manual
mode are accepted in auto mode, as well as orders from local or remote
communication as follows:
• Auto Local: the operator needs to be close to the circuit breaker to establish
communication and only orders sent from a local source through
communication are accepted:
◦ Ecoreach software through the USB connection.
◦ Masterpact MTZ Mobile App through Bluetooth with the Masterpact
Operation Assistant Digital Module.

• Auto Remote: the operator does not need to be next to the circuit breaker to
establish communication and orders are only accepted sent from a remote
source through the communication network.
NOTE: Ecoreach software connected through the communication network can
be used to send control orders to the circuit breaker.
The control mode factory setting is Auto Remote.

Diagnostic Data after a Masterpact MTZ Circuit Breaker Trip

The diagnostic data is available when the Micrologic X control unit is powered.
If the Micrologic X control unit is not permanently powered by an external 24 Vdc
power source, connect the Micrologic X control unit to an external power supply
(such as the Mobile Power Pack as an example) through the mini USB port to
have access to the diagnostic data.
When the Micrologic X control unit is powered externally, the availability of
diagnostic data depends on the Micrologic X control unit status:
• If the Micrologic X control unit is healthy, all diagnostic data is available.
• If there is an invalid Micrologic X control unit self-test, what diagnostic data is
available will vary.
• If the Micrologic X control unit is inoperative, no data is directly available.
However, some data can be extracted using the NFC function with the
Masterpact MTZ Mobile App.
The trip cause LEDs and the service LED are powered by the Micrologic X control
unit internal lithium battery and will remain on for four hours when there is no other
power to the control unit. To switch on the trip cause LEDs again after four hours,
press the Test/Reset button.

Check Masterpact MTZ Devices High-Voltage Insulation

Dielectric tests (high potential and insulation resistance tests) are used to check
the insulation between phases and between each phase and ground. The
equipment used to conduct these tests creates a high potential voltage
(thousands of volts) to check dielectric or insulation integrity.
If included in the Micrologic X control unit, the voltage power supply (VPS) module
connects and disconnects the control unit from the voltage connections in the
circuit breaker.
Before conducting any high-voltage insulation tests, move the VPS module to the
disconnected position and unplug any cables from the mini USB port on the front
face of the Micrologic X control unit. For information on VPS disconnection,
consult instruction sheet NVE40741 on the Schneider Electric website.

CAUTION
DETERIORATION OF VPS MODULE
Disconnect the VPS module by pulling it out to the disconnected position before
running a dielectric test on the equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment
damage.

Check insulation resistance and record the results on the test form.

Step Action

Disconnect the VPS module and unplug any cables from the mini USB port on the front face
1 of the Micrologic X control unit.

2 Close the device.

Measure the insulation resistance using a 500 Vdc insulation resistance tester between one
3 of the phases and the other two phases grounded. Repeat for each phase.

4 Open the Masterpact MTZ device by pressing the opening pushbutton.

Measure the insulation resistance using a 500 Vdc insulation resistance tester between one
5 of the phases and ground, with all other phases grounded. Repeat for each phase.
