circuitry and the circuit breaker’s mechanical tripping action can be
verified through the trip unit’s test receptacle (
). This is
accomplished using a Digitrip Test Kit that provides a secondary
injection test that simulates the current sensors. A small hand-
held IZM functional Test Kit can also be used to check circuitry and
mechanical tripping functions (
When the circuit breaker is shipped from the factory, the trip
unit’s protective functions are normally set at minimum values.
For specific overload tripping characteristics and time/current
curves to coordinate with a load or system, refer to the trip unit
instruction book.

All the electronic trip units are self-powered with regard to their
protective functions. Current signal levels and the tripping energy
are derived from the current sensors integrally mounted in the circuit
breaker. Control power is required to operate certain optional display
and metering functions.
