Basis —Time-current characteristic (TCC) curves for the S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 are shown in this publication. These curves are plotted for a system frequency of 60 Hz, and for a Vista or Vista SD CT ratio of 660:1. Except for the K-speed curve family, all TCC curves were developed using the following equation: Where: t is the minimum tripping time for Vista Coordination and Vista Speed curves, and the average tripping time for IEEE and IEC curves, in seconds; A, B, C, and p coefficients are provided later for each time-current characteristic curve; I rms is the nominal power frequency (fundamental) current in amperes, measured by the Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0; I min-pickup is the minimum power frequency (fundamental) pickup current, in amperes, at which the TCC curve begins timing; TM is the time multiplier (time dial); and, TA is the time adder. The K-speed curve family was developed using discrete data points. These data points can be found in the Time- Current Characteristic Curves section of sandc.com. Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 TCC curves are applicable to both 50- and 60-Hz systems. They are also applicable over the Vista or Vista SD switchgear’s entire operating temperature range of -40°F (-40°C) to +104°F (+40°C). No adjustments must be made to these curves for ambient temperature within this temperature range. Tolerances —Tolerances for each TCC curve family are listed on the first page of each curve family. The interrupting time is 29 milliseconds. The total minimum clearing time—from initiation of the fault to total clearing—is 43 milliseconds. Power-Up Current—With a CT ratio of 660:1, the S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 requires a minimum current level of 14 amperes in each phase or 42 amperes in a single phase to power up and trip. With a CT ratio of 1320:1, the S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 requires a minimum current level of 28 amperes in each phase or 84 amperes in a single phase to power up and trip. Application—The maximum continuous current-carrying capability of S&C Vista Underground Distribution Switchgear is 900 amperes, and the maximum continuous current-carrying capability of S&C Vista SD Underground Distribution Switchgear is 630 amperes. The S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 is capable of sensing current in the range of 14-25,000 amperes RMS. Because the time-current characteristics in this docu- ment are electronically derived, they are not subject to change due to aging, transient overcurrents, or fault currents. It is, therefore, only necessary to reset the fault interrupters following a fault-clearing operation. t(I rms )= A +B •TM+TA I rms I min–pickup p C October 22, 2018 © S&C Electric Company 2018, all rights reserved Information Bulletin 680-211 S&C Vista ® Underground Distribution Switchgear and Vista ® SD Underground Distribution Switchgear Outdoor Distribution (15.5 kV through 38 kV) Table of Contents Section Page Base TCC Curves Vista Coordination Curves 2 Tap Curves 3 Main Curves 18 Vista Speed Curves 36 E-Speed Curves 37 K-Speed Curves 56 T-Speed Curves 72 IEEE Curves 86 IEC Curves 88 Section Page Time-Current Characteristic Curves

Basis—Time-current characteristic (TCC) curves for the S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 are shown in this publication. These curves are plotted for a system frequency of 60 Hz, and for a Vista or Vista SD CT ratio of 660:1. Except for the K-speed curve family, all TCC curves were developed using the following equation:

Where:

t is the minimum tripping time for Vista Coordination and Vista Speed curves, and the average tripping time for IEEE and IEC curves, in seconds;

A, B, C, and p coefficients are provided later for each time-current characteristic curve;

Irms is the nominal power frequency (fundamental) current in amperes, measured by the Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0;

Imin- p i ckup i s the min imum power f requency (fundamental) pickup current, in amperes, at which the TCC curve begins timing;

TM is the time multiplier (time dial); and,

TA is the time adder.

The K-speed curve family was developed using discrete data points. These data points can be found in the Time-Current Characteristic Curves section of sandc.com.

Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 TCC curves are applicable to both 50- and 60-Hz systems. They are also applicable over the Vista or Vista SD switchgear’s entire operating temperature range of -40°F (-40°C) to +104°F (+40°C). No adjustments must be made to these curves for ambient temperature within this temperature range.

Tolerances—Tolerances for each TCC curve family are listed on the first page of each curve family. The interrupting time is 29 milliseconds. The total minimum clearing time—from initiation of the fault to total clearing—is 43 milliseconds.

Power-Up Current—With a CT ratio of 660:1, the S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 requires a minimum current level of 14 amperes in each phase or 42 amperes in a single phase to power up and trip.

With a CT ratio of 1320:1, the S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 requires a minimum current level of 28 amperes in each phase or 84 amperes in a single phase to power up and trip.

Application—The maximum continuous current-carrying capability of S&C Vista Underground Distribution Switchgear is 900 amperes, and the maximum continuous current-carrying capability of S&C Vista SD Underground Distribution Switchgear is 630 amperes. The S&C Vista Overcurrent Control 2.0 is capable of sensing current in the range of 14-25,000 amperes RMS.

Because the time-current characteristics in this docu-ment are electronically derived, they are not subject to change due to aging, transient overcurrents, or fault currents. It is, therefore, only necessary to reset the fault interrupters following a fault-clearing operation.

Base TCC Curves—Vista Speed Curves

Vista Speed Curves

Parameters for Vista Speed curves generate the minimum tripping TCC curve. Tolerances for these curves are detailed in Table 2, and parameters for each TCC curve are shown below the corresponding graph, with the exception of K Speed curves, whose data points are found in the Time-Current Characteristic Curves section of sandc.com.

Category Setting Current Above 30 A① Current at or Below 30 A①

Time Overcurrent Response

Minimum Trip Time The greatest of minimum tripping curve or 8 ms

Maximum Trip Time

Maximum trip time is the greatest of minimum tripping curve:

• -10% expressed in terms of primary current

• +20% expressed in terms of time

• +10 ms (60-Hz systems) or +15 ms (50-Hz systems)

• +16 ms (60-Hz systems) or +20 ms (50-Hz systems) for currents from 1-2 times the current corresponding to a 10-ms trip time

• +14 ms for currents greater than 2 times the current corresponding to a 10-ms trip time

Maximum trip time is the greatest of minimum tripping curve:

• -3 A expressed in terms of primary current ●

• +20% expressed in terms of time

• +10 ms (60-Hz systems) or +15 ms (50-Hz systems)

• +16 ms (60-Hz systems) or +20 ms (50-Hz systems) for currents from 1-2 times the current corresponding to a 10-ms trip time

• +14 ms for currents greater than 2 times the current corresponding to a 10-ms trip time

Timing starts if

• Primary current -10% is equal to or greater than the minimum trip current, or low-current cutoff if enabled

• Primary current -3 A is equal to or greater than the minimum trip current or low-current cutoff if enabled ●

Timing does not start if primary current is less than the minimum trip current, or low-current cutoff if enabled

① With a CT ratio of 660:1, this value is 30 A . With a CT ratio of 1320:1, this value is 60 A .

● With a CT ratio of 660:1, tolerance is -3 A . With a CT ratio of 1320:1, tolerance is -6 A .
