•
The long-time pickup (Ir) (A) sets the
maximum current level (based on sensor
plug rating In) which the circuit breaker can
continuously carry. If current exceeds this
value, circuit breaker will trip after the preset
time delay. The long-time pickup (Ir) is
adjustable from 0.4–1.0 times the sensor
plug rating (In).

adjustable from 0.4–1.0 times the sensor
plug rating (In).
•
The long-time delay (tr) (B) sets the length of
the time that the circuit breaker will carry an
overcurrent (below the short-time or
instantaneous pickup current level) before
tripping. See Table 1 for delay settings.

Both long-time pickup and long-time delay

plug. To change settings to more precisely
match the application, various rating plugs
are available. For instructions on replacing
the rating plug, see Section 5 —Adjustable
Rating Plug Replacement.

For Masterpact™ NT and NW circuit
breakers, the In value can be changed by
replacing the sensor plug below the trip unit.

Thermal imaging provides continuous
temperature rise status of the wiring, both before
and after the device trips. This allows the circuit
breaker to respond to a series of overload
conditions which could cause conductor
overheating, but would go undetected if the
long-time circuit was cleared every time the load
dropped below the pickup setting or after every
tripping event.

NOTE: Micrologic trip units are powered from the circuit to always provide
fault protection. All other functions (display, metering, communications, etc.)
require external power. See 15 for more information.

For Micrologic 5.0A and 6.0A trip units, when tsd is set to 0.4 on or 4.0 off, then tr = 0.5 instead of 0.34.
NOTE: If checking trip times, wait a minimum of 15 minutes after circuit
breaker trips before resetting to allow the thermal imaging to reset
completely to zero or use a full-function test kit to defeat the thermal
imaging.
