Instantaneous Pickup

Instantaneous overcurrent protection, with Trip Unit
display illustrated in Figure 19, causes an immediate
breaker trip when the chosen current level is
reached. The pickup value may be set in steps of 0.5
xIn from 1.5 xIn to a maximum dependent on the
frame size and the presence of the short-time
function, as listed in Table 13.
Note the difference from short-time pickup, which is
based on a multiple of x L T . The time-current
characteristic is shown in Figure 20.

High-Range Instantaneous Overcurrent
Protection

High-range instantaneous overcurrent protection

has a fixed trip setting equal to the breaker frame's
short-time withstand rating, H , with pickup tolerance
+0%, –20%. When this option is installed, skip pro-
gramming of instantaneous pickup and go on to the
next function by pressing

Ground-Fault Pickup

The trip unit display for ground-fault pickup is
shown in Figure 21. This function sets the pickup
current for ground-fault protection. The available
settings are listed in Table 14 as multiples of xCT the
current sensor rating, in steps of 0.01 xCT . The
maximum value is limited to 1200 A. Figure 22
illustrates the time-current curve for ground-fault
pickup.
