Section 1

Read This First

Proper circuit protection depends on setting up and installing the circuit breaker correctly. Do not attempt to energize the circuit breaker before thoroughly understanding all of the trip unit setup parameters and ensuring that they are set correctly and that associated equipment and interfaces are also installed and connected correctly.

Spectra breakers with microEntelliGuardTM Trip Units use rating plugs to set the breaker current rating. Ensure that an appropriately sized rating plug is installed into the trip unit prior to programming the trip unit. Failure to install a rating plug can result in unwanted trips. Installing a rating plug that is not intended for the frame rating can result in unwanted trips, and could result in improper protection.

When setting up the trip unit for the first time, use external 24Vdc control power (via external control power, test kit, or portable batter pack) to ensure that all protection parameters are programmed correctly.

CAUTION - Removal of the rating plug while the breaker is carrying current reduces the breaker’s current-carrying capacity to the minimum rating plug value of the current sensor. This may result in unwanted tripping.

NOTE - Trip Units as received may have settings that are undesirable for the specific application. Ensure that settings are appropriately adjusted before energizing the breaker.

Trip Unit Functions

This section describes the standard and advanced protective functions and the advanced features and communication capabilities offered on the microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit.

Standard Protection Functions

Adjustable Long Time (pickup and time delay) is standard. Three different sets of curve shapes are available with slopes that mimic traditional MicroVersaTrip® long time curves (I2t), recursive thermal curves (thermal-mag circuit breaker) and fuse emulation (I4t).

Adjustable Short Time (pickup and time delay) is standard. An option to turn the short time function off is also included. Multiple slope functions are available with I2t IN or OUT.

Adjustable Instantaneous (pickup) is standard. Adjustable Ground Fault (pickup and time delay) is optional. This feature causes the breaker to TRIP when responding to a ground fault.

Adjustable Ground Fault Alarm (pickup and time delay) is optional. This feature causes the breaker to ALARM (programmable output contact closure) when responding to a ground fault (the breaker will NOT trip).

Advanced Protection Functions

Neutral Protection (pickup and time delay) is optional. This protection function is designed to protect

the neutral from an overload condition (typical in applications where there are harmonics).

Zone Selective Interlock (ZSI) is optional. Restraint signals are available on Short Time, Ground Fault and Instantaneous.

Reduced Energy Let-Through (RELT) is optional. This feature allows a second instantaneous pickup setting at a reduced level and is enabled via an external signal (contact closure or communications).

GEH-702 Users Manual

Advanced Features and Communications

Basic Metering is standard. The metering option displays current for all three phases.

Advanced Metering is optional. This feature displays current, voltage, real power, reactive power, apparent power, peak power demand, energy, frequency, and power factor for all three phases. Proper operation of the advanced metering function requires multiple system accessories including power supplies, voltage conditioners, junction boxes, and interconnect cables.

Modbus Communications is optional. The communications option allows the breaker/trip unit to communicate all breaker data to an outside network.

Waveform Capture is optional. This option stores eight cycles worth of data into digital memory that can be output via the trip unit’s DB-15 connector, or over the Modbus interface.

Two Programmable Output Contacts (two) are optional. This feature is included on breakers/trip units that are optioned with any of the following functions or features

Ground Fault Alarm

Zone Selective Interlock

Reduced Energy Let-Through

Protective Relays

Breakers/trip units optioned with any of the above features have a 20-pin harness/connector and require accessories that accommodate the 20-pin connector (see section on equipment interfaces).

Rating Plugs

The microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit uses a rating plug to establish or change the current rating of the breaker. Each breaker frame/sensor combination has multiple rating plugs available that are interchangeable within the trip unit. Rating plugs available for microEntelliGuardTM Trip Units are shown in Table 2.

These rating plugs are compatible with EntelliGuard trip units. Note that the same rating plug catalog number can be used across multiple breaker sensor ratings. For example, GTP0150U0104 is a 150 amp-rating plug that can be used in the Spectra microEntelliGuardTM G frame with 150 amp or 400 amp sensors.

Equipment Interfaces

Equipment interfaces for Spectra microEntelliGuard™ breakers require special attention be paid to the wiring harness arrangement on the circuit breaker which depends on the features and functions that are selected for the microEntelliGuard™ Trip Unit. The three wiring harness arrangements are NO harness, 12-Pin harness, and 20-Pin harness. Table 3 identifies the harness arrangement based on the last four digits of the circuit breaker catalog number.

CAUTION: Neutral-current sensors are required for three-phase/four-wire and single-phase/three-wire systems. When the trip unit is connected to a three phase/three-wire system, the neutral-current sensor terminals are left open. Do not short any neutralcurrent sensor terminals in a three-phase/three- wire system, as this could result in damage to or malfunction of the electrical system.

Connection to the neutral CT is made via a distribution cable terminal block (three options) or a distribution cable junction box (two options). Note: Terminal block and junction box selection depends on the breaker wiring harness, either a 12-Pin harness or 20-Pin harness. Refer to Figure 1 for an example neutral CT wiring connection diagram using a terminal block.

Terminal Blocks

Three different terminal block options are available for Spectra microEntelliGuardTM breakers. Breakers with a 12-Pin harness have one option for a terminal block where breakers with a 20-Pin harness have two terminal block options. The table below shows the terminal descriptions for each terminal block catalog number.

Distribution Cable Junction Boxes

Two different distribution cable junction boxes are available for Spectra microEntelliGuardTM breakers. Breakers with a 12-Pin harness use catalog number SDCJBB. Breakers with a 20-Pin harness use catalog number SDCJBBC. The junction box serves as the interconnection point between various shared input and output signals, and also acts as the interface between multiple breakers within a system.

The programmable contact output connections on the SDCJBBC are dedicated if ground fault alarm and/ or reduced energy let-through features are optioned in the trip unit. Otherwise, the output contacts can be programmed to signal on various overcurrent trip conditions and protective relays.

Power Supplies

An outside source of 24Vdc control power is required for communications and waveform capture. Control power is also required for programming the trip unit under no-load or low-load conditions (less than 20% of sensor rating). Control power connections to the breaker can be made through the terminal block or the distribution cable junction box. Five different power supply plate assemblies are available. The power supplies are rated 24 watts (+24 Vdc at 1.0 amps)

and have the capacity to power 20 Spectra breakers/ trip units over a length of 40 feet (total distance from power supply to last breaker). The power supply plate assemblies include the power supply, fuse protection and a control power transformer for ac source voltages over 240 VAC. All of these components are mounted on a base plate. Table 7 lists the available power supply plate assemblies. Figure 2 shows a typical power supply connection using a terminal block.

Voltage Conditioners

System voltage inputs are required in order for some advanced metering and protective relay functions to operate correctly (any calculation involving voltage such as power or undervoltage). Seven different voltage conditioner plate assemblies are available. The voltage conditioner used in the assembly has the capacity to provide voltage-sensing signals to 20

Spectra breaker/trip units over a length of 40 feet (total distance from voltage conditioner to last breaker). The voltage conditioner requires +24 Vdc control power (see section on Power Supplies). The voltage conditioner plate assemblies include the voltage conditioner, fuse protection and three 1-VA high-accuracy potential transformers.

Mounting a distribution cable junction box in the front vertical upright of the switchboard across from the

Spectra microEntelliGuardTM breaker/trip unit permits group mounting of the breaker. Group mounted Spectra breakers with an auxiliary switch that connects to a junction box require a 1 “X” filler plate adjacent

to the breaker’s right-hand side to accommodate the auxiliary switch wiring.

Distribution and Extension Cables Interconnection cables are required if equipment interfaces such as the distribution cable junction box, power supply plate assembly, voltage conditioner plate assembly are used. These cables transmit electronic signals and/or control power between the various interconnected components. There are two different types of interconnection cables available for Spectra microEntelliGuardTM breakers – distribution cables and extension cables.

Distribution cables are used to interconnect the junction box, power supply plate assembly, and voltage conditioner plate assembly. These cables have 12-

Pin connectors and are available in three different lengths. Table 10 shows the different lengths and their associated catalog numbers.

GEH-702 Users Manual

All Spectra circuit breakers use the same auxiliary switches, which are installed in the breaker’s righthand accessory compartment. Group mounted Spectra breakers with an auxiliary switch that connects to a junction box require a 1 “X” filler plate adjacent

to the breaker’s right-hand side to accommodate the auxiliary switch wiring.

Communications

The Spectra microEntelliGuardTM breaker is available with Modbus communications, which allows connection to an external Modbus network and monitoring platform. Connection to the network requires the appropriate terminal board or junction box. Proper operation of the circuit breaker’s protective functions is not dependent on the communications network.

Spectra microEntelliGuardTM breakers are compatible with EnerVista Viewpoint power system software allowing for remote monitoring and control of the breaker. Viewpoint Monitoring automatically detects Spectra microEntelliGuardTM breakers, generates custom tailored monitoring screens, monitors power quantities in real time (current, voltage, VARs, etc.), and identifies the status of protected assets.

Reduced Energy Let-Through

Reduced energy let-through, or RELT, is an advanced protective function that allows the trip unit to have an alternate instantaneous pickup value. This feature is intended to allow the user to set a lower instantaneous pickup level and reduce the amount of breaker let-through energy in the event of a fault. Trip units optioned with the RELT function require either a

terminal board or junction box in order to wire the RELT input and output signals. The RELT switch is enabled via a 24V (AC or DC) signal across the input contacts or via the Modbus communications network. This signal can be derived from the power supply plate assembly or it can be from a separate source. Trip units optioned with the RELT function have dedicated input and output contacts. The output contacts change state when the RELT function is enabled. The output contacts are rated 1 amp, 60 Vac/Vdc. A RELT kit (catalog number GTURSK) is available that provides an illuminated 3-position selector switch allowing the user to select between NORMAL, TEST, and ON positions. A typical wiring diagram for the RELT connections is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Typical RELT Wiring Diagram

Caution: Setting the RELT instantaneous pickup value greater than the standard instantaneous pickup value will result in higher breaker let-through energy in the event of a fault . The factory default setting for RELT instantaneous is 1.5 x sensor rating which is the minimum setting value.

Zone Selective Interlock

Zone Selective Interlocking, or ZSI, is an advanced protective function that allows one ZSI enabled trip unit to communicate with another ZSI enabled trip unit. The microEntelliGuardTM trip unit is available with ZSI signaling on the short time, ground fault, and instantaneous functions. In the event of an overcurrent pickup condition, the downstream ZSI trip unit signals the upstream ZSI trip unit to temporarily change the affected pickup settings to values that allow the downstream trip unit/breaker to respond to

the overcurrent condition (and the upstream breaker to remain closed and continue to service other loads).

Trip units optioned with the ZSI function require either a terminal board or junction box in order to wire the ZSI input and output signals and +24Vdc control power. A ZSI module (catalog number TIM1) is available that allows multiple ZSI enabled trip units to communicate with one another for optimal system selectivity.

Section 2 microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit

Overview

The microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit is the latest and most advanced trip unit available in the Spectra line of molded case circuit breakers. The trip unit design is based on the EntelliGuardTM Trip Unit platform. Unlike the EntelliGuardTM Trip Unit (which is removable), the microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit is integral to the Spectra G & K frame circuit breakers. The next sections of this instruction review the trip unit’s HMI (Human Machine Interface), power requirements, operating modes, and communications. If you are familiar with the EntelliGuardTM Trip Unit, then many of the following sections will be familiar to you.

LED

Figure 5. LED Location

HMI

The microEntelliGuardTM HMI consists of a five-button membrane keypad, a liquid crystal display (LCD), and an LED indicator.

The membrane keypad has five pushbuttons that are used to navigate between the various operating modes and set up screens. The pushbuttons are raised, which helps with programming in low-light conditions. The effects of each pushbutton are shown in the following figure.

Up Scroll up or increment value

Down Scroll down or decrement value

Right Next function or next page

Left Previous function or previous page

Enter Save or set into memory

Figure 6. Keypad Definition

Pushing and holding the UP and DOWN buttons causes the displayed value to continuously increment or decrement. The RIGHT, LEFT, and ENTER buttons operate with individual keystrokes. Pressing and holding the LEFT button causes the trip unit to return to the “home” screen.

Figure 7. Typical LCD Screen

It is important to note that any programmable value that is changed is NOT saved until the ENTER key

is pushed and that the ENTER key is pushed before proceeding to the next or previous programming screen. Advancing to the next screen or returning to a previous screen without hitting the ENTER key causes any changes to be lost.

Liquid Crystal Display and Power Requirements

The LCD is the visual interface that displays the operating modes and setup screens of the trip unit. Input power is required in order to illuminate the microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit’s LCD for viewing the display screens or making changes to setup values. Any of the following power sources can be used.

Load Current – the trip unit will “self power” and illuminate the LCD when sufficient current passes through the circuit breaker. Sufficient current is defined as 20% of the breaker’s sensor rating. A breaker

with 150 amp sensors requires at least 30 amps to illuminate the LCD.

24 Vdc Control Power – microEntelliGuardTM Trip Units with 12-Pin and 20-Pin wiring harnesses can be connected to 24 Vdc control power via a terminal board connection or a junction box to illuminate the LCD.

GEH-702 Users Manual

Digital Test Kit – the EntelliGuard test kit (catalog number GTUTK20) connects to the microEntelliGuardTM DB-15 connector and provides 24 Vdc power to illuminate the LCD.

Portable Battery Pack – the Spectra portable battery pack (catalog number TVPBP) in conjunction with an adapter cable (TVPBPACC) connects to the microEntelliGuardTM DB-15 connector and provides 24 Vdc power to illuminate the LCD.

LED Status Indicator

The microEntelliGuardTM HMI includes a green LED status indicator, which signals the status of the trip unit/breaker. There are four different status conditions. NORMAL status means the breaker and trip unit are functioning properly and that the trip unit is NOT in a pickup condition. PICKUP status means that one of the over-current protective functions or protective relays has gone into pickup and that a trip is imminent. TRIP status means that the breaker/trip unit has tripped due to an over-current protective function, protective relay, or trip unit error. ERROR status can mean any number of conditions (for example, the rating plug is missing or an improper rating plug is installed). In the event that the LED sequence indicates an ERROR, check the error code in the trip unit’s status menu. To reset the LED pattern, once the issue is corrected, hold down the right arrow key for two seconds.

Trip Unit Operating Modes

The microEntelliGuardTM trip unit has four different operating modes. They are SETUP, METERING, STATUS, and EVENTS. The SETUP mode is used to make changes to all of the adjustable parameters optioned in the trip unit. The METERING mode displays the current in each phase of the breaker. Trip units that are optioned with advanced metering can display voltage, power, and other pertinent parameters associated with the system voltage. The STATUS mode displays pertinent information on trip unit protection settings, if the trip unit is in pickup mode, the position of the breaker’s main contacts (requires installation of

15

auxiliary switch) and communications settings. The EVENTS mode displays information regarding overcurrent events.

Setup Mode

The following instructions describe setup procedures for all of the available trip unit functions. All microEntelliGuardTM Trip Units have adjustable long time, short time and instantaneous over-current protection options as well as a selectable ammeter. All other functions are optional and depend on how the trip unit is optioned. If a specific trip unit function has not been optioned, that function will not appear in the display. Setting for the over current protective parameters (long time, short time, instantaneous, and ground fault) establish the shape of the trip unit/ breaker’s time current curve. All optioned trip unit parameters are factory preset values (reference appendix A for factory preset values).

Prior to setting up the trip unit, ensure that

An appropriate rating plug is installed (the trip unit automatically checks and records the value of the installed rating plug and will issue an error if the rating plug is not appropriate or missing).

A professional engineer has performed a system coordination study and provided the appropriate setup values to be programmed into the trip unit (inappropriate setup values can cause the breaker to trip unexpectedly or not provide the intended circuit protection).

The LCD is illuminated via an appropriate power source.

When the LCD is first illuminated, the “home” page displays SETUP, METERING, STATUS, EVENTS. Use the buttons on the keypad to move up and down the menu. When STATUS is highlighted, push the right button to get into the SETUP screens. Use the RIGHT and LEFT buttons to move to the various setup options. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to change parameter values. Any value that is changed using the UP or DOWN buttons will flash to indicate that a change has been made. Note: values that are changed must be saved to memory on the screen in which they were changed. Press and hold the ENTER button to save changes. Failure to save setting changes before proceeding

to the next screen causes the setting to return to its previous setting. Always confirm trip unit settings after making changes by exiting and re-entering the SETUP mode and rechecking each setting.
