| The circuit breaker is used for motor protection; it trips during the starting process, resulting in a failed start. | 1) If the motor is started directly, the starting current will be at least eight times the normal operating current, and may even exceed ten times. If the instantaneous overcurrent protection setting multiplier is improperly selected, the circuit breaker will trip during startup, preventing the motor from completing its start-up process. | 1) Whether the connected load is a motor that requires direct-on-line starting, and what the starting current is; 2) Appropriately determine the circuit breaker’s rated current and the multiple of the instantaneous trip setting. |
| 2) If the distribution cabinet is located far from the equipment, resulting in significant line voltage drop, the motor terminal voltage will fall below its rated voltage, causing the starting current to increase and triggering a trip. | 1) Determine the motor terminal voltage (P = IUcos Φ); 2) Appropriately determine the circuit breaker’s rated current and the multiple of the instantaneous trip setting current. | |
| 3) If the motor is started under load, verify that the load is operating normally. Any signs of stalling or abnormal noises in the mechanical components can lead to poor operation, resulting in difficult starting, a sudden surge in current, and excessively long start-up times, which may trigger a trip. Additionally, equipment such as pumps and conveyors, when started under load, may trip if the start-up duration exceeds the allowable limit. | 1) Inspect the mechanical condition of the motor (and its load). 2) Appropriately determine the circuit breaker’s rated current and the multiple of the instantaneous trip setting current. | |
| During operation, the circuit breaker occasionally trips. | 1) Overload tripping caused by three-phase load imbalance. | 1) Determine whether the three-phase currents are relatively balanced. |
| 2) On-site equipment frequently experiences short-term overloads, causing the system to trip after energy has accumulated for a certain period. | Ensure that the circuit breaker is operated within its rated range; the trip setting of the circuit breaker may be appropriately increased. | |
| 3) Grounding protection of the distribution-type three-pole circuit breaker has operated. | 1) The Ir4 setting value is greater than the unbalanced current. 2) Disable the grounding protection function. | |

When conducting analysis, it is essential to consider the line configuration, including the length and cross‑sectional area of the connecting cables, as well as the duration of short‑circuit faults. | 1) Inspect the circuit breaker’s status on-site; if no tripping failure is observed, the product shall be deemed to be in normal condition. 2) Test the characteristics to determine whether the circuit breaker is qualified or not; 3) Select circuit breakers appropriately. |
