1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DIGITRIP TRIP UNITS
The Digitrip Trip Unit is a breaker subsystem that provides
the protective functions for a circuit breaker. The trip unit s
are in removable housings, installed in the circuit breaker,
and can be replaced or upgraded in the field by the
customer.
This instruction book specifically covers the application of
the Digitrip Trip Unit s (See Figure 1.1) installed in T ype
VCP-T , VCP-TR, T -V AC or T -V ACR Medium V oltage
Circuit Breakers.
Figure 1.1 Digitrip T rip Unit with Rating Plug
The Digitrip 520V and 520MCV trip units may be applied
on both 50 and 60 Hertz systems. It detects the power and
frequency and adjusts itself automatically .
The Digitrip 520V and 520MCV are self powered and self
protecting trip units designed to function only with the
associated CH T ype-V current sensors.

CAUTION
CONNECTING THIS TRIP UNIT TO CURRENT SENSORS OTHER THAN CH TYPE-V MIGHT DAMAGE OR
DESTROY IT .
All trip unit models are microprocessor-based AC protection devices that provide true RMS current sensing for the
proper coordination with the thermal characteristics of
conductors and equipment. The primary function of this
Digitrip trip unit is circuit protection. The Digitrip analyzes
the secondary current signals from the CH T ype-V current
sensors and, when preset current levels and time delay
settings are exceeded, will send an initiating trip signal to
the Trip Actuator of the circuit breaker, causing it to “open.”
In addition to the basic protection function, the Digitrip
520V and 520MCV provide modes of trip indication such
as:
•Long Time trip (overload)
•Short Time trip
•Instantaneous trip
•Ground (Earth) Fault trip
The CH T ype-V current sensors provide the power to the
trip unit. As current begins to flow through the breaker , the
sensors generate a secondary current which powers the
trip unit. No auxilary power is needed to trip the circuit
breaker.
The Digitrip 520V and 520MCV trip units have five phase
and two ground (time-current) curve shaping adjustments.
T o satisfy the protection needs of any specific inst allation,
the exact selection of the available protection function
adjustments is necessary . The short delay and ground
fault pick-up adjustments can be set for either FLA T or I2t
response. A pictorial representation of the applicable timecurrent curves for the selected protection functions is
provided, for user reference, on the face of the trip unit as
shown in Figure 1.1. The user chooses the settings
according to the needs of his application. (See Sections
4.0 & 9.2)
Status LED will also blink at a faster rate if the Digitrip is
in a “Long Pick-up” (overload) mode.
Four red LEDs on the face of the trip units flash to indicate
the cause of trip for an automatic trip operation... i.e.:
Long Delay (overload), Short Delay, Inst antaneous or
Ground (Earth) Fault. A battery , inside the rating plug
compartment of the Digitrip unit, maintains the trip indication until the Reset/Battery T est button is pushed. The
battery is satisfactory if its Battery Check LED lights
green when the Battery Check button is pushed (See
Section 6).
NOTE: The Digitrip unit provides all protection functions
independant of the status of the battery . The battery is
used only to maintain the automatic trip indication.
1.3 Installation and Removal
1.3.1 Installation of the Trip Unit
Align the Digitrip unit with the guide pins and spring clip of
the circuit breaker. Press the unit into the breaker until the
pins on the trip unit seat firmly into the connector housing

1.4 Installing the CH Type-V Current Sensors
The internal components of the circuit breaker, and how
they are wired out to the breaker secondary contacts are
shown in Figures 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 2.3. Also refer to the
master connection diagram provided in Appendix C.
1.4.1 Installation Procedure
The CH T ype-V Current Sensors/Rating Plug Kit supplied
with this breaker must be installed and wired by the user .
The installation steps are as follows:
a. PRIMARY - Mount one CH T ype-V current sensor on the
insulated bushing behind the circuit breaker . The bushing
must be rated for the system Lightning Impulse Withstand
Volt age (LIWV), and the ground (earth) shield terminal or
ground (earth) shield surface must be connected to the
ground (earth) bus. Confirm that the polarity mark (red dot)
on the front of the current sensor faces the circuit breaker.
b. SECONDARY - Connect secondary terminals of the
current sensor to the correct terminals in the switchgear
control circuit using #14 A WG T ype SIS wire. Terminal X1
is the one nearest to the polarity mark. Refer to Appendix
C for distinction between Fixed and Drawout variations.
Consult manufacturer if length of wire to device exceeds 12
feet (3.7m).
c. Use ring terminals on current sensor terminals. Use
AMP #66598-2 female sockets to connect to breaker’s
secondary connector.
d. Ground (Earth) the non polarity terminal of each sensor.
Also Ground the bushing shield surfaces.
circuit breaker when functional protection settings are
exceeded.
If the CH T ype-V current sensors and circuit breaker
enclosure label are changed to a different ratio, the rating
plug must also be changed. The associated rating plug
must match the current sensors installed and as specified
on the circuit breaker enclosure label. Refer to Figure 2.3
for CH T ype-V current sensors available.
1.5 Plexiglass Cover
A clear , tamper-proof, plexiglass door sits on the breaker
cover. This door allows the settings to be viewed but not
changed, except by authorized personnel. The plexiglass
cover meets applicable tamper-proof requirements. The
cover is held in place by two screws. Security is insured
by the insertion of a standard meter seal through the holes
in both of the cover retention screws. The plexiglass cover
has an access hole for the Reset/Battery T est push
button.
The Ground Alarm/Power Supply Module (See Figure 1.7)
is a required accessory to enable communications on the
Digitrip 520MCV model. The module can be installed
beneath the metal mounting plate of the trip unit in the
Magnum Circuit Breaker. The module covers the following
input voltage ratings: 120 V AC (7802C83G1 1), 230 V AC
(7802C83G12), 24-48 VDC (7802C82G12) and 125VDC
(7802C8213). The burden of the Power/Relay Module is
10VA.
e. Install rating plug into the Digitrip 520V and 520MCV trip
units for the matching CH T ype-V current sensors. Also
attach the additional rating plug label to the circuit breaker
enclosure as a future reference indicating which CH T ype-V
current sensors used in this application.
1.4.2 CH Type-V Current Sensor Functionality
The three CH Type-V current sensors are inst alled external
to the circuit breaker over the main circuit conductors by
means of bushings equipped with a ground shield. The
current sensor rating defines the breaker rating (In)... i.e.
1200A:1A sensors are used on a 1200A rated breaker .
There are four auxiliary current transformers with a ratio of
10:1 which further step down the rated current to 100 milliamperes, which is equivalent to 100% (In) to the Digitrip.
The primary current sensors produce an output signal
proportional to the load current and furnish the Digitrip trip
units with the information and energy required to trip the

1.6.1 Auxiliary Power
When the module is wired as shown in Figure 1.8, it will
provide an auxiliary power supply so that the 520MCV
liquid crystal display (LCD) will be functional even when the
circuit breaker has no load. A Digitrip 520MCV tripunit
without auxiliary power will not display data until load
current reaches approximately 30% 1 phase or 10%
3 phase of the (In) rating.
1.6.2 Ground Alarm
A second function of the module is to provide either a
ground trip or ground alarm only output contact via the
relay supplied in the module. An LED on the front of the
unit also provides an indication of ground fault trip.
1.6.3 Ground Fault Trip
When the Ground Alarm/Power Supply module is used,
this unit will provide ground fault trip contacts when the
circuit breaker trips on a ground fault. You must then push
the Reset button on the Digitrip in order to reset the
contacts (See Figure 1.8, Note 3).
Page 7
1.6.4 Ground Fault Alarm
A ground fault alarm alerts a user to a ground fault condition without tripping the circuit breaker. A red Alarm Only
LED on the front of the trip unit will indicate the presence
of a ground fault condition that exceeds the programmed
setting.
The ground fault alarm relay is energized when the ground
current continuously exceeds the ground fault pickup
setting for a time in excess of a 0.1 second delay . The
alarm relay will reset automatically if the ground current is
less than the ground fault pickup (See Figure 1.8, Note 4).
1.7 Display Feature (520MCV only)
The Digitrip 520MCV model has a user interface in addition
to the green and red LED trip indicators. This seven
element display performs a metering function and can be
used to monitor load currents.
When the Step button on the face of the trip unit is
pressed and released, the display will show PH 1, for
Phase 1 or A, and the current value. If the S tep button is
not pressed again, the display will continue to show the
current value for Phase 1. Each time that the Step button
is pressed, the next monitored function will be displayed.
The other real time readings can be displayed in the
following sequence:

In addition, the Digitrip 520MCV will display and freeze the
magnitude of the trip value after a trip event if auxilary
power is available. Use the Step pushbutton to view each
phase value. The highest value that can be presented is
9999. Any fault current s greater than this value will be
shown as “HI.” Pushing the Reset pushbutton will clear
this data.
Also related to the phase value after a trip event are four
dashes “----”. This message means that the microprocessor could not complete its writing of the trip event’s
magnitude into its non volatile memory . A possible cause
of this would be the lack or loss of auxilary power during
the trip event.
2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION of VCP-T, VCP-TR or
T-V AC, T -V ACR CIRCUIT BREAKERS
2.1 General
The circuit breakers are tripped automatically on overload
and fault current conditions by the combined action of
three components:
1. The sensors, which measure the current level
2. The Digitrip Trip Unit, which provides a tripping signal to
the Trip Actuator , when current and time delay settings
are exceeded.
3. The low-energy T rip Actuator , which actually trips the
circuit breaker.
This arrangement provides a very flexible system, covering
a wide range of tripping characteristics described by the
time-current curves referenced in Section 9.2.
Effective 8/2006
I.L. 66A7534H04
Page 9
2.2 Low-Energy Trip Actuator
The mechanical force required to initiate the tripping action
of the circuit breaker is provided by a special low-energy
Trip Actuator . This device is located behind the molded
platform on which the Digitrip units are supported. (SeeFigure 1.2) The T rip Actuator cont ains a permanent magnet
assembly , moving and stationary core assemblies, a
spring, and a coil. Nominal coil resistance is 25 ohms and
the black lead is positive. The circuit breaker mechanism
automatically resets the T rip Actuator each time the circuit
breaker opens.
When the T rip Actuator is reset by the operating mechanism, the moving core assembly is held in readiness
against the force of the compressed spring by the permanent magnet. When a tripping action is initiated, the lowenergy T rip Actuator coil receives a tripping pulse from the
Digitrip trip unit. This pulse overcomes the holding effect of
the permanent magnet, and the moving core is released to
upset the trip latch of the circuit breaker mechanism.
2.3 Ground Fault Protection
2.3.2 Zero Sequence Sensing
Zero Sequence Sensing, also referred to as vectorial
summation, is applicable to mains, feeders, and special
schemes involving zone protection. An optional CH Type-V
Zero Sequence current transformer (See Figure 2.1), having
taps for 100A and 200A ratings is available for this
application. The torroidal sensor has a 4.8” I.D. (12.192cm)
with a 7.6” O.D. (19.304cm). Its style number
69C3016G01. (See Figure 2.3 and Appendix C)
2.3.1 General
When employing a ground fault scheme, the distribution
system characteristics (i.e. system grounding, number ofsources, number and location of ground points, etc.) must
be considered along with the manner and location in which
the circuit breaker is applied to the system. These elements are discussed in Sections 2.3.2 through 2.3.4.
The Digitrip uses two modes of sensing to detect ground
fault currents: residual and zero sequence (See T able 2.1).
The breaker’s secondary contact inputs B-6, B-7, that
were shown in Figure 1.6, are used to configure the
breaker cell positions for the two schemes. Having no
jumper from B-6 to B-7 programs the unit for a residual
ground fault scheme, while installing a jumper from B-6 to
B-7 programs the unit for zero sequence configuration. If
present, this jumper resides on the stationary side of the
switchgear assembly . The proper current sensor input is
required on the external sensor input terminals B-4, B-5 of
the breaker secondary contacts.

2.3.3 Residual Sensing
Residual is the standard operating mode of ground fault
sensing. This mode utilizes one current sensor on each
phase conductor (See Figure 2.2). If the system neutral is
grounded, but no phase to neutral loads are used, the
Digitrip includes all of the components necessary for
ground fault protection. This mode of sensing vectorily
sums the outputs of the three or four individual CH T ype-V
current sensors. Residual ground fault sensing features
are adaptable to main and feeder breaker applications.

ground fault pick-up settings are from 0.25x, 0.3x, 0.35x,
0.4x, 0.5x, 0.6x, 0.75x and OFF.
