Ins tantaneous Current Settings 

Note:  For Testing Purposes Only: When using an 
external single phase current source to test low level 
ground fault current settings, it is advisable to use 
the Auxiliary Power Module (APM) (See Fig. 7).  Espe­

cially  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 bel ieve 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 performed correctly. Use the APM for 
correct trip  unit performance whenever single phase 
tests are made.

4.9 Ground Fault Time Delay Setting 

As illustrated in  Fig. 

4.7, 

there are two different Ground 

Fault curve shapes, i.e.,  fixed time (flat) or  12t response. 

The shape selected depends on the type of selective 
coordination chosen.  The 12t response will provide a 
longer time delay in the low-end of the ground fault cur­

rent range than will the flat response. 

Five flat 

(.1,  .2,  .3, 

.4, 

.5 

sec.) and three  12t 

(.1*,  .3*,  .5* 

sec.) response time delay settings are available.  The 12t 
response settings are identified by  the suffix asterisk 

(*) 

that appears in the setting viewing window.  The 12t 
response is applicable to currents less than 

0.625 

times 

the ampere rating of the installed rating plug 

(In). 

For c

the 12t response reverts to 

the flat response.
