The fifth character of the catalog number is the letter L, which indicates that all Trip Units come with
long-time overcurrent protection. Additional letters
are appended to the catalog number to indicate
installed protective functions, as in Table 4. These
suffixes are valid for both MicroVersaTrip Plus and
MicroVersaTrip PM style Trip Units. They are
appended from left to right in the order given.

Battery Function
Pressing the BATTERY key on the face of the Trip
Unit powers the unit from its internal battery. Battery power is maintained for 30 seconds after the last
key is pressed. This self-powered mode allows setting
up the Trip Unit or viewing trip targets when the
breaker is de-energized and external control power is
unavailable. All normal setup, meter, and status
functions can be performed with battery power.
Note that at temperatures above 40 C, the BATTERY A T T E N T I O N : La batterie peut exploser en cas de

a short-time trip. The choices of time-delay bands
are listed in Table 12. The delay with I2T IN is for a
current of 600% of xLT at the lower limit of the
band. The delay with I2T OUT is for the lower limit of
each band.

Ground-Fault Delay
This function sets the delay before the breaker trips
when the ground-fault pickup current has been
detected. The Trip Unit display is shown in Figure
23. The choices are listed in Table 15. The delay for
I2T OUT is at the lower limit of each band. The delay
for I2T IN is at 200% of the pickup setting at the lower
limit of the band.

This function sets the delay time before a voltageunbalance trip occurs. The range of delays is 1 to 15
seconds, in steps of 1 second. Choosing OFF disables
voltage-unbalance protection. The Trip Unit display
is shown in Figure 27.

This function selects the normal power flow direction for the breaker, either from line to load or from
load to line. Figure 37 shows the setup display for
normal power flow of line to load. This direction
setup also affects the sign of the normal power
metering displays.
