.
These
current
signals
develop
analog
voltages
across
the
appropriate
calibrating

2
)
Ground

(

Rating
plug
The
resulting
analog
voltages
are
digitized
by
the
custom
designed
integrated
circuits
.
The
micro
-
computer
,
in
cyclic
fashion
,
repeatedly
scans
the
voltage
values
across
each
calibrating
resistor
and
enters
these
values
into
its
Random
Access
Memory
(
RAM
)
.
These
data
are
used
to
calculate
true
RMS
current
values
,
which
are
then
repeatedly
compared
with
the
protection
function
settings
and
other
operating
data
stored
in
the
memory
.
The
software
program
then
determines
whether
to
initiate
protection
functions
,
including
tripping
the
breaker
through
the
low

device
(

provides
true
RMS
current
sensing
for
proper
correlation
with
thermal
characteristics
of
conduc
-
tors
and
equipment
.
Interchangeable
rating
plugs
are
provided
to
establish
the
continuous
current
rating
of
each
circuit
breaker
.
The
Digitrip
RMS
810
Trip
Unit
is
designed
for
use
in
industrial
circuit
breaker
environ
-
ments
where
the
ambient
temperatures
can
range
from
-
20
C
to
+
85
C
and
rarely
exceed
70
to
75
C
.
If
,
however
,
temperatures
in
the
neighborhood
of
the
Trip
Unit
do
exceed
this
range
,
the
Trip
Unit
performance
may
be
degraded
.
In
order
to
insure
that
the
tripping
function
is
not
compromised
due
to
an
over
-
temperature
condition
,
the
Digitrip
RMS
810
microcomputer
chip
has
a
built
-
in
over
-
temperature
protection
feature
,
factory
set
to
trip
the
breaker
if
the
chip
temperature
exceeds
95
C
.
If
over
-
temperature
is
the
reason
for
the
trip
,
the
Long
Delay
Time
LED
will
light
“
RED
”
,
and
the
word
“
TEMP
”
will
appear
in
the
display
window
.
The
Trip
Unit
employs
the
Cutler
-
Hammer
Inc
.
custom
designed
integrated
circuit
SpRE
+
chip
,
which
includes
a
micro
-
computer
to
perform
its
numeric
and
logic
func
-
tions
.
The
principle
of
operation
is
described
by
the
block
diagram
shown
in
Fig
.
2
.
In
the
Digitrip
RMS
810
Trip
Unit
,
all
required
sensing
and
tripping
power
to
operate
its
protection
function
is
derived
from
the
current
sensors
in
the
circuit
breaker
.
The
secondary
currents
from
these
sensors
provide
the
correct
input
information
for
the
protection
functions
,
as
well
as
tripping
power
,

Sensor
Rating
(
where
applicable
)
and
Rating
Plugs
The
Frame
Rating
of
a
circuit
breaker
is
the
maximum
RMS
current
it
can
carry
continuously
.
The
maximum
Short
-
Circuit
Current
Ratings
of
the
circuit
breaker
are
usually
related
to
the
Frame
Rating
as
well
.
It
is
often
times
desirable
to
be
able
to
choose
a
current
value
(
ln
)
,
less
than
the
full
frame
rating
,
to
be
the
basis
for
the
coordination
of
the
circuit
breaker
’
s
protection
functions
,
without
affecting
its
short
-
circuit
current
capa
-
bility
.
For
the
Digitrip
RMS
810
Trip
Unit
the
maximum
continuous
current
(
ln
)
is
set
by
the
Rating
Plug
(
and
/
or
Current
Sensors
,
where
applicable
)
—
see
Section
6
for
specific
instructions
for
your
circuit
breaker
type
.
The
(
Current
)
Sensor
Rating
(
where
applicable
)
is
the
maximum
RMS
current
the
circuit
breaker
can
carry
with
the
specified
current
sensors
installed
.
The
Sensor
Rat
-
ing
can
be
the
same
or
less
than
the
Frame
Rating
,
but
not
greater
.
The
Rating
Plug
(
see
Fig
.
4
)
fits
into
a
special
cavity
to
complete
the
Trip
Unit
(
see
Fig
.

)
.
After
installing
the
Rating
Plug
,
press
and
release
the
“
TRIP
RESET
”
push
-
button
.
The
purpose
of
the
rating
plug
is
to
set
the
value
of
ln
,
the
basis
for
the
Trip
Unit
protection
function
current
settings
.
(
See
Section
3
for
details
.
)
Each
circuit
breaker
frame
rating
represents
the
maximum
current
it
can
carry
continuously
.
However
for
proper
coordination
of
over
-
current
protection
,
it
is
often
desirable
to
choose
different
levels
of
ln
for
different
cir
-
cuit
breakers
of
the
same
frame
rating
.
An
assortment
of
rating
plugs
with
different
ln
values
is
available
for
each
breaker
frame
rating
(
See
circuit
breaker
instruction
leaf
-
let
supplements
listed
in
Section
6
)
to
give
the
user
flexi
-
bility
to
change
the
value
of
ln
without
having
to
change
the
primary
current
sensors
on
the
breaker
.
By
changing
the
rating
plug
,
the
user
can
easily
change
the
range
of
current
protection
settings
without
having
to
remove
the
circuit
breaker
from
its
enclosure
.
For
example
,
if
one
expects
a
circuit
to
carry
600
A
ini
-
tially
,
but
then
increase
to
1400
A
in
the
future
,
one
could
initially
install
1600
A
cables
and
a
1600
A
breaker
frame
with
the
Trip
Unit
rating
plug
whose
ln
=
800
A
.
Then
later
on
when
the
additional
load
is
ready
to
come
on
line
,
the
rating
plug
could
be
exchanged
for
one
with
ln
=
1600
A
,
without
having
to
remove
the
breaker
from
its
enclosure
.

PROTECTION
SETTINGS
3.1
General
Prior
to
placing
any
circuit
breaker
in
operation
,
each
Trip
Unit
protection
setting
must
be
set
to
the
values
specified
by
the
engineer
responsible
for
the
installation
.
The
num
-
ber
of
settings
that
must
be
made
is
determined
by
the
protection
supplied
as
illustrated
in
Figs
.
8.1
through
8.7
.
Each
setting
is
made
with
a
rotary
switch
,
using
a
small
screwdriver
.
The
selected
setting
for
each
adjustment
appears
in
its
respective
rectangular
viewing
window
as
illustrated
in
Fig
.

.
The
installed
rating

establishes
the
maximum
con
-
tinuous
current
rating
(
ln
)
,
up
to
,
but
not
exceeding
the
Frame
Rating
of
the
circuit
breaker
.
Instantaneous
and
ground
current
settings
are
defined
in
multiples
of
(
ln
)
.
To
illustrate
the
effect
of
each
protection
curve
setting
,
simulated
Time
-
Current
curves
are
pictured
on
the
face
of
the
Trip

.
The
rotary
switch
used
to
make
each
set
-
ting
is
located
nearest
that
portion
of
the
simulated
Time
-
Current
curve
it
controls
.
Should
an
automatic
“

”
occur
(
as
a
result
of
the
current
exceeding
the
pre
-
selected
value
)
,
the

The
Auxiliary
Power
Module
or
APM
(
Cat
.
No
.
PRTAAPM
)
,
illustrated
in
Fig
.
7
,
is
an
encapsulated
power
supply
that
requires
a
120
VAC
input
at
either
50
or
60
Hz
.
It
provides
an
output
of
32
Vdc
(
nominal
40
Vdc
open
circuit
)
which
is
used
during
testing
of
the
Digitrip
RMS
810
Trip
Unit
,
whenever
120
VAC
control
power
is
not
available
to
the
Power
/
Relay
Module
.
(
See
Section
1.4
.
)
When
a
drawout
circuit
breaker
is
equipped
with
a
Digitrip
RMS
810
Trip
Unit
,
it
can
be
conveniently
set
and
tested
while
the
circuit
breaker
is
either
out
of
its
cell
or
in
its
cell
in
the
“
Test
”
,
“
Disconnect
”
or
“
Withdrawn
”
posi
-
tions
by
using
the
Auxiliary
Power
Module
.
The
Auxiliary
Power
Module
is
equipped
with
a
unique
plug
-
in
connector
suitable
only
for
plugging
into
the
keyed
receptacle
in
the
upper
right
corner
of
a
Digitrip
RMS
Trip
Unit
as
shown
in
Fig
.
1
.
This
avoids
the
inadvertent
use
of
an
incorrect
type
power
module
.
The
APM
is
suitable
for
use
with
older

be
sure
it
is

check
to
see
that
it
is
connected
correctly

(
See
Section

check
that
the
current
is
not
more
than
50
%
of
the

To

of
the
Trip
Unit
,
all
in
-
service
testing
whether
under
‘
Trip
”
or
“

conditions
is
executed
ONLY
if

ues
are
no
greater
than
50
%
x
lr
(
lr
=
the
Long

-
rent
Setting
)
.
Any
attempt
to
conduct
in
-
service
testing
when
the
load
current
exceeds
50
%
of
lr
will
NOT
be
executed
by
the
Trip
Unit
.
Since
the
Digitrip
RMS
810
Trip
Unit
is
designed
to
run
with
control
power
from
the
Power
/
Relay
Module
for
the
display
window
and
communications
functions
,
all
testing
should
be
conducted
with
the
control
power
available
,
either
through
the
Power
Relay
Module
or
,
when
the
breaker
is
outside
the
enclosure
,
through
the
Auxiliary
Power
Module
(
APM
)
(
See
Section
1.6
and
Fig
.
7
)
.
Although
the
Trip
Unit
is
designed
to
perform
all
of
its
Protection
Functions
without
the
external
control
power
,
and
without
the
display
and
communication
functions
available
,
results
of
the
tests
could
be
confusing
.
When
performing
a
single
-
phase
primary
current
injection
test
,
for
example
,
especially
when
the
single
-
phase
current
is
low
,
without
the
APM
it
may
appear
as
if
the
Trip
Unit
does
not
respond
until
the
current
is
well
-
above
the
set
value
,
leading
the
tester
to
believe
there
is
an
error
in
the
Trip
Unit
when
there
is
none
.
The
reason
this
occurs
is
that
the
single
-
phase
test
current
is
not
a
good
simulation
of
the
normal
three
-
phase
circuit
.
If
three
-
phase
current
had
been
flowing
,
the
Trip
Unit
would
actually
have
per
-
formed
correctly
.
Use
the
APM
for
correct
Trip
Unit
perfor
-
mance
whenever
single
-
phase
current
injection
tests
are
made
.
