All versions of Omega Air Circuit Breakers with MATRIX releases are self- powered. Display (O-LED type) is a standard feature in MATRIX Protection & Control (P&C) Units (MTX-1.5G Onwards) and it needs 10% of I-frame value to Power-Up through CTs.
If an auxiliary power source of 24Vdc (thru PS Module or any controlled supply source) is available, display will get Power-Up at NO-load/OFF condition also in these units (MTX-2.5 onwards).

Power Supply Module have 3 sets of auxiliary power output. Set - 2 & 3’s combined VA burden is 15.5VA & Set -1 with an additional VA burden of 4.8VA. So, total output power available from PS Module is 20.3VA.
Power output set -2 or 3, has to be loaded first, while connecting P&C Unit & External Modules with Power Supply Module.
Recommended wire for connection of MATRIX release with PS Module through AS+/AS- SIC port in ACB is 24AWG ( 7/0.2).
Let us consider a Panel Board having 5 nos. Omega ACBs of different MATRIX P&C Units & auxiliary power has to be supplied through PS Module as there is no auxiliary power (24Vdc) source available:–
Solution: Total VA requirement of all P&CU & Modules are as follows:
Max VA available through PS module:
O/P set 1: 4.8 VA
O/P set 2: 15.6 VA
| P&CU & Modules | Count (Nos.) | Total VA burden |
|---|---|---|
| MTX3.5EC | 1 | 3 |
| MTX3.5 + Modbus COM | 3 | 9 |
| ZSI module | 4 | 4 |
| Total | 16 |
So, using only a single PS Module, the above set up can be powered ON.
However, above PS module quantity selection can vary depending on the location/distance of the modules in the panel as well as the type of module used (refer Point A Note I, II, III)
