Series Rating —Panelboards andSwitchboards
Effective: January 2008 Page 3
Applying Series Ratings
The following is provided to use the series rating tableson the following pages:
Step 1.Determine the available system voltage and faultcurrent.
Step 2. Select the appropriate table using the system voltage.
Step 3.Use the appropriate “Series Equipment Rating”column equal to, or greater than, the available faultcurrent, to determine the allowable UL recognizedcombinations of main (upstream) and branch (down-stream) overcurrent devices. Main devices are shownin bold/shaded areas. Respective branch breakers areshown directly below their associated main device.If a rating is not initially found in a column, firstlook to the columns to the right for higher “SeriesEquipment Ratings” within the same table. If stillnot found, use ratings from table of a higher systemvoltage (higher numbered table).
Example 1:208Y/120 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire, ac system with availablefault current of 26,438 amperes. Main (upstream) deviceis a 3-pole, 225 ampere, EDS breaker. The branch (down-stream) breakers are single- and 2-pole, 20, 30 and 60amperes, 120 volt and 120/240 volt BAB breakers.
1. Go to the 120/240 volts table (Table 1).
2. Look down under the 22 kA column. This rating isnot shown.
3. Look to the columns to the right. This combinationrating is shown under the 42 kA column, and thereforeis valid.
Example 2:
480Y/277 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire, ac system with available faultcurrent of 62,097 amperes. Main (upstream) device is a 3-pole250 ampere, HJD breaker. The branch (downstream) break-ers are 2- and 3-pole, 60, 70 and 100 ampere EHD breakers.
1. Go to the 480Y/277 volts table (Table 4).
2. Look down under the 65 kA column. This rating isnot shown.
3. Look to the columns to the right. This rating is notshown.
4. Look at the table with the next higher system voltage.(480 volts, Table 5).
5. This combination rating is shown under the 65 kAcolumn, and therefore is valid.
Example 3:480Y/277 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire, ac system with availablefault current of 24,324 amperes. Main (upstream) device isa 3-pole, 225 ampere, FD breaker. The branch (downstream)breakers are single-pole, 20 ampere, GHQ; 2-pole, 30ampere, GHB; and 3-pole, 50 ampere, GHB devices.
1. Go to the 480Y/277 volts table (Table 4).
2. Look under the 25 kA column. This rating is not shown.Look to the columns to the right. This rating is shownunder the 35 kA column, and therefore is valid forcombinations with the 2- and 3-pole GHB breakers.
3. Go to the 277 volts table (Table 3).
4. Look under the 25 kA column. This rating is not shown.Look to the columns to the right. This rating is shownunder the 35 kA column, and therefore is validfor combinations with the single-pole GHQ breaker.
Other Applications of Series Ratings
Series ratings can also be applied under the followingguidelines:
■ Any FULLY RATED breaker can be applied upstream,downstream or in the middle of any of the series ratingsstated in the tables.
■ Any series rating stated in the tables may have additionalseries rated branch breakers of the EXACT SAME TYPEfurther downstream in that rating.
COMBINING SERIES RATINGS are allowed under certainconditions. Main and branch ratings may be combined if:
■ Breakers A, B and C are in series respectively frommain to branch. Breakers A and B series rate together.Breakers A and C series rate at the same interrupting level(or higher). It is allowable to use A, B and C together at
the A-B series rating.
It is improper to combine series ratings under the followingcondition:
■ Breakers A, B and C are in series respectively from mainto branch. Breakers A and B series rate together. BreakersB and C series rate at the Breaker B interrupting ratinglevel. It is not allowable to use A, B and C together at theA-B series rating. However, combining multiple overcur-rent devices as in this example, can be accomplished if all devices in the series combination have been testedtogether and listed in triple rating Table 13.
Note: The information contained in this manual also applies tospecifying the upstream overcurrent protective device for use withthrough-feed and sub-feed panelboards without an integral main.
