Notes:
6a 1 2 3 4 5 6 3 1. Test Port - A test port is built into each trip unit to
allow use of a functional test kit. The test kit performs
a test of the Long Delay and Short Delay functions.
2. Test LED - To be used with a no trip functional test.
(Refer to Note #1)
3. Ir - Continuous Current setting. In accordance with
standards requirements, the trip unit initiates a trip of the
circuit breaker within 2 hours for an overload of 135%,
and will trip as a function of I²t for higher currents.
Continuous Current Values for each Lettered Setting
are indicated by the chart on the right.
A "Thermal Memory" effect prevents the breaker from
being re-energized immediately after an overload trip.
A "cooling off" period of up to 5 minutes is required,
which allows time for the cabling to cool off.

6b 2 3 4 5 6 3
4. tLD - The number of seconds required to trip @ 6x Ir.
i.e. Ir-250 A, tLD-2 sec load current - 1500A (6x) The
breaker will trip in 2 seconds.

5. ISD - Setting in multiples of Ir. For short circuit

conditions that exceed the short delay pick-up setting,
the trip unit initiates a trip after a predetermined delay.
In figure 6a the short delay time is a flat response de-
termined by the tSD switch setting of 50, 120 ms.
In figure 6b the short delay time is an I²t function.

6. Status LED - A green status light indicates the

operational status of the trip unit. If the load current
exceeds approximately 20% of the maximum current
rating of the breaker, the status light will blink on
and off once each second.
