Protective Device Coordination
Protective Device Coordination Study-
Description:
• An organized time-current study of protective devices from the utility to a device.
• A comparison of the time it takes protective devices to operate when certain levels of normal or abnormal current pass through them.

Protective Device Coordination
Protective Device Coordination Study-
Objective:
• Determine the characteristics, ratings, and settings of overcurrent protective devices
• Ensure that the minimium, un-faulted load is interrupted when the protective devices isolate a fault or overload anywhere in the system.

Protective Device Coordination Study-
Frequency:
• This study should be revised as new protective are added or as existing devices are modified.
• At a minimum, it is recommended that this study be performed every 5 years.

(b) Electric power and lighting circuits.
(1) Routine opening and closing of circuits. Load rated switches, circuit breakers, or other devices specifically designed as disconnecting means shall be used for the opening, reversing, or closing of circuits under load conditions. Cable connectors not of the load break type, fuses, terminal lugs, and cable splice connections may not be used for such purposes, except in an emergency.

(b) Electric power and lighting circuits.
(2) Reclosing circuits after protective device operation. After a circuit is de-energized by a circuit protective device, the circuit protective device, the circuit may not be manually reenergized until it has been determined that the equipment and circuit can be safely energized. The repetitive manual reclosing of circuit breakers or reenergizing circuits through replaced fuses is prohibited.
Note: When it can be determined from the design of the circuit and the overcurrent devices involved that the automatic operation of a device was caused by an overload rather than a fault condition, no examination of the circuit or connected equipment is needed before the circuit is reenergized.

(b) Electric power and lighting circuits.
(3) Overcurrent protection modification. Overcurrent protection of circuits and conductors may not be modified, even on a temporary basis, beyond that allowed by 1910.304(e), the installation safety requirements for overcurrent protection.
