MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 1. Introduction

1-1 Product Desription

The MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units described in this publication are used on WavePro™ low-voltage power circuit breakers. A front view of the MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Unit is shown in Figure 1.

The Trip Unit has a 50-pin rear connector that provides the Trip Unit’s main connections to the circuit breaker frame and to the equipment control signals.

There is a recessed connector in the front panel to accept interchangeable current rating plugs.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate the breaker without its assigned Trip Unit. Installation of an incorrect Trip Unit may result in unsafe operation of the breaker.

ATTENTION: Ne pas utiliser le disjoncteur sans son déclencheur. Une mauvaise installation du déclencheur peut être dangereuse.

CAUTION: Removal of the rating plug while the breaker is carrying current reduces the breaker’s current-carrying capacity to approximately 25% of the current sensor rating. This may result in undesired tripping.

ATTENTION: Si le calibreur est retiré alors que le disjoncteur est sous tension, le déclencheur se régle automatiquement à approximativement 25% du calibre du transformateur de courant. Ceci peut entrainer un déclenchement indésirable.

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

Figure 1. Front view of a MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Unit.

CAUTION: Removal of a Trip Unit from its breaker must be performed with the breaker in the OPEN or TRIPPED position. Draw-out breakers should be racked out first.

ATTENTION: Pour retirer déclencheur, le disjoncteur doit être en position ouverte ou déclenchée. Les disjoncteurs débrochables doivent ètre en position débrochée.

NOTE: Les disjoncteurs sont livrés avec des réglages standards qui peuvent être inadéquates pour certaines applications. Vérifier ces réglages avant de mettre le disjoncteur sous tension.

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 1. Introduction

1-5 Equipment Interfaces

MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Units

MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Units do not usually require connections within the equipment, since all wiring is contained within the circuit breaker. The only two connections are for optional zone-selective interlock (Z1 and Z2) and the neutral sensor. Connections are made through the breaker’s secondary disconnect A.

Zone-selective interlocking coordinates breakers, so that the downstream breaker is allowed the first opportunity to clear a disturbance. The two types of available zone-selective interlocking are Z1, which reacts only to ground faults, and Z2, which reacts to both ground faults and short-time overcurrent pickups. Separately mounted zone-selective interlock modules are required between upstream and downstream breakers.

Neutral Current Sensors

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

ATTENTION: Un transformateur de courant de neutre est nécessaire pour les réseaux 3 phases + neutre. Si le neutre n’est pas distribué, les bornes de neutre du déclencheur doivent être laissées ouvertes. Ne pas les court-circuiter (ceci peut endommager le déclencheur et entrainer un mauvais fonctionnement du système électrique.

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units

In addition to the inputs received by MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Units, MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units also receive inputs from external voltage conditioners, a +24 Vdc auxiliary power supply, and communication connections. External +24 Vdc auxiliary power is required for operation.

POWER LEADER™ Communication Network

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units may be integrated into a Power Management Control System through the POWER LEADER™ Modbus Concentrator, which collects data from a MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Unit (a commnet device) and communicates across the RS485 network to a remote PC. Also, MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units can be wired to a POWER LEADER Modbus Monitor through a Modbus

Concentrator. The Modbus Monitor, which is mounted either in the equipment or independently, provides a central station for viewing metering and status information collected from multiple remote power management devices.

Commnet connections are made directly to wiring terminations on breaker frames. All commnet connections to the Trip Units are made through the 50-pin plug on the Trip Unit, which mates with a receptacle on the breaker frame. These additional connections are made to the equipment through the secondary disconnects of the breaker.

Voltage Inputs

Voltage inputs are sensed by conventional instrument potential transformers(PTs). PTs have 120 Vac secondaries and must always be used in groups of three; no open-delta connections are permitted. PT primaries are connected either line-to-line or line-to-neutral, as required.

PTs may be used for other monitoring functions, subject to reasonable burden limitations. Note that PTs must be connected in a specific sequence to ensure proper phase relations and power-flow sensing.

Each PT output feeds an individual voltage conditioner that scales the nominal voltage to approximately 1.76 Vac for use by the Trip Unit.

Power Requirements

A small amount of power is necessary to energize the liquid crystal display (LCD) during setup, for viewing breaker status, and for metering displays. MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units require external +24 Vdc auxiliary power for proper operation. The four sources of such power are the following:

• Flow of current -- Breaker current sensors provide sufficient power to energize the LCD when at least 20% of the sensor’s ampere rating is flowing.

• +24 Vdc Auxilliary Power – Breakers with MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units are supplied with external +24 Vdc power that, whenever present, energizes the LCD.

• Internal Battery Power – The Trip Unit has an internal battery that powers the unit temporarily when the

BATTERY key on the display is pressed. Battery power

automatically turns off 30 seconds after the last keypad press. The battery power supply is disabled when any current is sensed through the current sensors.

• MicroVersaTrip Portable Power Pack -- The MicroVersaTrip Portable Power Pack contains a dc

power source and a cable. The LCD is energized when the cable is plugged into the rating plug test receptacle.

1-6 Trip Unit Information

Trip Unit Label Information

Following are descriptions of the various label information on the front of the Trip Unit, as illustrated in Figure 2.

• Extreme top -- circuit breaker series and serial number of the breaker, unless it is a replacement unit.

• Upper-left center – Trip Unit serial number, such as

RMS9D008587.

• Upper-right center -- Trip Unit date of manufacture code, such as P729=.

• Lower-left center -- catalog number of the Trip Unit, such as K440LSGPM.

• Lower-right center-- sensor rating of the Trip Unit, such as SENSOR (CT) = 4000A.

• Below battery cover -- indicates whether the unit is MicroVersaTrip Plus or MicroVersaTrip PM.

Function Keys

The Trip Unit has four programming keys and a battery enable key. These are marked FUNCTION, SELECT, VALUE,

ENTER, and BATTERY, as illustrated in Figure 3. All setup,

status, and metering functions and displays are accessed through these keys. As each set point is entered, it is stored in the Trip Unit’s nonvolatile memory, so subsequent loss of power does not result in loss or change of any settings.

FUNCTION SELECT

BATTERY

VALUE ENTER

Figure 3. Function key placement on face of Trip Unit.

The functions of the five keys are

• FUNCTION -- selects the mode of display.

• SELECT -- chooses the next item for display.

• VALUE -- selects the phase-to-phase display or allows changing of set points.

• ENTER -- stores set points.

• BATTERY -- powers the Trip Unit from the internal battery.

Figure 2. Label information on the front of the Trip Unit.

Chapter 2 describes the operation of these keys in detail.

Battery Function

Pressing the BATTERY key on the face of the Trip Unit powers the unit from its internal battery. Battery power is maintained for 30 seconds after the last key is pressed. This self-powered mode allows setting up the Trip Unit or viewing trip targets when the breaker is de-energized and external control power is unavailable. All normal setup, meter, and status functions can be performed with battery power.

The battery is intended to power the Trip Unit when it is otherwise unpowered. At low line currents (less than 20% of the sensor rating) the Trip Unit display is not active. Pressing the BATTERY key under these conditions will not power the Trip Unit.

Note that at temperatures above 40° C, the BATTERY key may have to be held down for up to 5 seconds for the Trip Unit to be powered.

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 1. Introduction

Batteries

The Trip Unit uses a lithium manganese dioxide battery with a typical life of two years in a normally energized breaker. Typical usage could include one half-hour of use for first-time cold setup, 10 Trip Unit status checks per year on a de-energized breaker, and one or two configuration changes per year.

The battery is not required for proper operation or protection of the breaker. It is not needed nor used to store setpoints, configurations, or trip target information. It provides a source of power to display setpoints and trip information only if no other source of power is available.

Battery Replacement

Replace the battery if it does not power up the Trip Unit or if the low-battery symbol appears in the display when the

BATTERY key is pressed. Lift the right-side tab of the

battery cover on the front of the Trip Unit to expose the

3.0 V lithium magnesium dioxide cell. A suitable replacement is the Duracell DL123A, which is available from industrial distributors.

WARNING: Replace the battery with Duracell DL123A only. Use of a different battery may present risk of fire, explosion, or damage to equipment. Observe proper battery polarity when installing in the Trip Unit battery compartment.

ATTENTION: Remplacer la batterie avec uniquement des Duracell DL123A. L’utilisation d’autres batteries peut présenter un risque de feu, d’explosion ou d’endommagement du matériel. Respecter la polarité de la batterie en l’installant dans son logement.

WARNING: The battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire. Keep the battery away from children and dispose of the used battery promptly.

2-1 Overview

This chapter describes the operation of the four programming keys, set point and time-delay adjustments, and their accuracies. The setup procedures should only be repeated if the Trip Unit or the protection characteristics are changed, requiring different set points and time delays.

These procedures apply to MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units. Setup programming must be performed with the rating plug installed.

For Trip Units set up through the Power Management Control System, refer to instructions published for that system.

Table 7 contains a list of abbreviations used throughout the description of the setup procedures.

2-2 Operating Modes

MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units have three operating modes: Setup, Metering, and Status. The effects of each of the four programming keys in each mode are listed in Table 9.

All the programming keys, except for ENTER, automatically step the Trip Unit display to the next available option each time the key is pressed. Continued pressing of a key eventually loops the display back to the initial option for that function. This is illustrated in Figure 5 for the

FUNCTION key, which shows that repeatedly pressing this

key cycles the mode among Status, Metering, and Setup. Pressing the ENTER key more than once has no effect.

In Setup mode, depressing the VALUE key for about 5 seconds activates a fast scan that rapidly displays each of the available set points or time delays for some of the trip characteristics.

2-3 Setup Mode Operation

The following instructions describe setup procedures for all available Trip Unit functions. These are illustrated in Figure 6. All Trip Units provide long-time overcurrent protection, long-time delay, and some form of short-circuit protection. All other functions are optional.

If a specific set of Trip Unit functions, such as relaying or short-time overcurrent protection, has not been ordered, that function will not appear on the Trip Unit display. Ignore setup mode instructions for such functions.

The Trip Unit must be provided with auxiliary power during setup. This can come from internal battery power, from a MicroVersaTrip Portable Power Pack, or from an external +24 Vdc power supply.

To begin the process, press the FUNCTION key until SETUP appears in the upper-right corner of the Trip Unit display. Setup mode always begins with long-time pickup. After a choice has been made for this and each subsequent trip function, press SELECT to advance to the next function.

Set points are entered into memory in three steps: display, select, and activate, as described below:

1. Press the VALUE key until the desired set point is displayed flashing on the LCD.

2. Press the ENTER key to select this set point. The displayed value stops flashing and the SETUP icon flashes on the LCD. This indicates that the value has been stored in memory but is not yet active. If a new set point is displayed but not selected by pressing the

ENTER key (set point value still flashing), then the

displayed set point is not entered into memory and the original value is maintained. Multiple set point changes can be made in this fashion without changing the active settings. For each of these changes, the

SETUP icon continues to flash.

3. Press the FUNCTION key to activate these settings in the Trip Unit. The SETUP icon no longer flashes,

which indicates that any selected settings are also currently active. The FUNCTION key should always be pressed following set point changes to ensure that the active settings match the stored settings.

The set point change steps are summarized as follows:

• Display set point – Press the VALUE key until the desired setting is flashing.

• Select set point – Press the ENTER key; the setting stops flashing and the SETUP icon starts flashing.

• Activate set points – Press the FUNCTION key to activate the settings; the SETUP icon stops flashing.

Always confirm settings on the Trip Unit after making changes by exiting and re-entering Setup mode and rechecking each changed setting.

Chapter 3. Metering Mode

3-1 Overview

The metering mode displays parameter values for that part of the electrical system controlled by the breaker’s MicroVersaTrip Plus or MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Unit. Both currents and voltages are computed as true rms values. There is no loss of accuracy even in the presence of high levels of harmonics. All metering displays are updated once each second. Accuracies and resolutions are described in Section 1-8 and Table 6.

All values except frequency are displayed to three significant figures. For example, phase currents might be displayed as 60.7 AMPS, 492 AMPS, or 1.22 KA.

The Trip Unit metering displays are appropriate to the actual configuration ordered. All MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units include current metering.

Two configurations of the MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units (with PM and M suffixes in their catalog numbers) have the full complement of metering displays.

The Trip Unit must be provided with auxiliary power to display metered values. This can come from internal battery power, from a MicroVersaTrip Portable Power pack, from an external +24 Vdc power supply, or by energizing the breaker to at least 20% of its sensor load.

3-2 Metering Mode Operation

Metering mode is reached by pressing FUNCTION until

METER appears in the upper-right corner of the display.

Metering mode always begins with the phase currents. The sequence in which the metered values appear is illustrated in Figure 41.

Power Demand

Power demand is the average of total power over the selected interval (5, 10, …, 55, 60 minutes). This display is updated every minute. The power demand display is illustrated in Figure 48.

Figure 48. Trip Unit display for power demand.

Peak Power Demand

Peak power demand is stored in nonvolatile memory. Every minute, the power demand is calculated and compared against the stored peak power demand. If the new power demand is greater than the stored peak demand, the Trip Unit stores the new power demand as the peak value. The display of peak power demand is identical to the display illustrated in Figure 48, except that the units segment (in this case, MW) flashes.

Peak demand is stored in nonvolatile memory. The value in the display can be reset through the Trip Unit keypad. To reset the peak demand to the present demand, hold down the VALUE key and press the SELECT key.

Frequency

This display, illustrated in Figure 49, shows the frequency of the line current. Either line voltage or current must be present for this display to appear.

The frequency is calculated from the current and voltage signals. If both are present, the voltage frequency is displayed. If neither are present, this display does not appear.

The frequency is displayed in steps of 1 Hz.

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

4-1 Overview

Trip Unit Status mode is selected by pressing the

FUNCTION key until STATUS appears on the display. Status

mode indicates the present status of the Trip Unit and circuit breaker. It also displays information about trip conditions and the trip history of the breaker. Two categories of information can be displayed: trip information and trip operations counters.

Trip Information

Various trip information parameters are displayed when an overcurrent trip or protective relay trip occurs.

The Status display indicates when a long trip is imminent (breaker is in pickup). Following a trip, the Trip Unit displays a trip target to indicate the type of trip, the fault current magnitude at trip, and the phase of the fault (where appropriate). For adjustable-instantaneous trips, the Trip Unit displays the instantaneous function setpoint rather than the actual current.

Chapter 4. Status Mode

Figure 50. Trip Unit display for normal status.

Long-Time Overcurrent Pickup Display

When the long-time overcurrent function has reached 95% of the Trip Unit’s long-time current rating, xLT,

PICKUP begins to flash on the display, as illustrated in Fig-

ure 51. During the transition from 95% to 100% of the set point, the frequency of flashing increases. When the set point is reached, but before the time delay has expired, the flashing stops, indicating that tripping is imminent.

Trip information is stored in the Trip Unit memory and displayed when Trip Unit power is returned or if internal battery power is enabled. Trip information is always available if Trip Unit power is maintained following a fault.

The Status display records trip information only for those options ordered with the Trip Unit. For example, only MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units can be equipped with protective relays and thus display information about them.

Trip Operations Counters

Trip operations counters record the total number of overcurrent trips. Separate internal counters are provided for each of the following types of trips: long-time, short-time, adjustable-instantaneous, and ground-fault. The corresponding counter is incremented after any of these trips. A maximum of 256 trips can be counted for each type of fault, after which the counter rolls over to zero.

4-2 Status Mode Operation

This section describes each of the Status mode displays.

Normal Status Display

When the breaker is closed and its circuit energized, the normal status display appears, as illustrated in Figure 50. This display indicates that the Trip Unit is not in longtime pickup and that all trip targets are cleared.

Figure 51. Trip Unit status display for long-time overcurrent pickup.

Trip Target and Fault Displays

When the breaker trips, information about the trip can be displayed in Status mode. Figure 52 illustrates a typical fault display following a trip.

Figure 52. Typical fault display following a breaker trip.

The FAULT segment indicates that the breaker has tripped because of an overcurrent condition or a protective relay. This segment remains visible until it is cleared, including displays in Setup and Meter mode. This provides an indication that trip information is available, even if other screens are being displayed. If the trip was caused by a

protective relay, the FAULT segment flashes in Setup or Meter mode. After an overcurrent trip, the FAULT segment and the appropriate overcurrent target are displayed in all modes, without blinking, until cleared.

Long-Time Overcurrent Fault Display

After a long-time overcurrent trip, the trip information display contains the fault current magnitude at trip, the phase on which the fault occurred, and the overload (I>) and long-time (LT) trip targets. This display is illustrated in Figure 53.

Figure 53. Trip Unit Status display for long-time overcurrent trip.

Short-Time Overcurrent Fault Display

After a short-time trip, the status display appears as in Figure 54. The information presented is similar to that in the long-time overcurrent display, with the short-circuit (I>>) and short-time (ST) targets.

Ground-Fault Display

When a ground-fault trip occurs, the display illustrated in Figure 56 appears. The fault current is displayed in units of xCT, the breaker CT sensor rating. Multiply the sensor rating of the breaker by the displayed fault current multiplier to obtain the ground-fault current at trip.

Figure 56. Trip Unit status display for ground-fault trip.

Protective-Relay Fault Display

After a protective-relay trip, the display indicates FAULT with a target for the type of relay that initiated the trip. This is illustrated in Figure 57 for an overvoltage trip. The targets for the five protective relays are listed in Table 16.

Figure 54. Trip Unit status display for short-time overcurrent trip.

Instantaneous Fault Display

The status display for an adjustable instantaneous trip is illustrated in Figure 55. Because of the fast response of this function, the Trip Unit displays only the threshold current for the fault, not the actual fault current nor the phase on which the fault occurred.

Clearing the Trip Information

Since trip information is stored in nonvolatile memory, the Trip Unit continues displaying the trip information until it is manually cleared or a new trip occurs. After the trip information has been recorded or reviewed, it can be cleared with the keypad. With the Trip Unit in Status mode, hold down the VALUE key and press the SELECT key. The trip information is then cleared and the display reverts to STATUS OK, as in Figure 50.

Trip Operations Counter Display

Trip operations counters record the total number of overcurrent trips. To review any of the trip operations counters while in Status mode, press the SELECT key until the desired count appears. Figure 58 illustrates a typical trip operations counter display. This example indicates that there have been three long-time trips on this breaker since the counter was last reset.

Clearing the Trip Operations Counters

Chapter 4. Status Mode

Since the trip operations counters are stored in nonvolatile memory, the Trip Unit maintains the information indefinitely. To clear a particular counter, first display the corresponding count, then hold down the VALUE key and press the SELECT key. The trip counter is reset to zero.

Chapter 5. Maintenance and Trouble-Shooting

MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units and rating plugs are factory tested and normally shipped installed in their breaker frame assemblies or as part of a conversion kit. There is no requirement for periodic maintenance of the Trip Units. There are no user-serviceable

components within the Trip Units.

5-1 Trip Unit Removal and Replacement

Rejection pins are installed on the rear of all Trip Units to prevent installation of an incorrect Trip Unit into a breaker. Do not use excessive force when installing a Trip Unit. Replacement of a Trip Unit always requires repeating the setup procedures, as described in Chapter 2.

WARNING: Before beginning this procedure, turn the breaker off, disconnect it from all voltage sources, and discharge the closing springs.

AVERTISSEMENT: Avant de commencer cette procédure, mettre le disjoncteur en position off, le déconnecter de toute tension d’alimentation, et décharger les ressorts de fermeture.

1. Open the breaker and remove it from the cubicle or substructure. Place it on a suitable work surface. Note that 3200–5000 A frame breakers must be suitably supported so that the spring discharge mechanism is not engaged.

2. Insert the Racking Handle (catalog number 568B731G1) and move the racking mechanism to the

TEST position, as shown on the draw-out position

indicator.

3. Remove the four screws securing the trim plate on the breaker, then remove the trim plate.

4. Remove the six screws securing the escutheon to the breaker. Pull the manual charging handle out partway, then slide off the escutcheon.

5. Pull out the locking slide on the right of the Trip Unit mounting plate, then pull the Trip Unit out, carefully disengaging the pins on the rear connector.

out partway, then slide the handle through the slot in the escutcheon and move the escutcheon into place. Insert the six mounting screws and tighten to 14–20 in-lb.

3. Replace the trim ring around the escutcheon, with the narrow side at the bottom. Insert the four mounting screws and tighten to 14–20 in-lb.

4. Insert the Racking Handle and return the racking mechanism to the DISC position, as shown by the draw-out position indicator.

5. Reinstall the breaker into its cubicle or substructure.

5-2 Rating Plug Removal and Replacement

CAUTION: Removal of the rating plug while the breaker is carrying current reduces the breaker’s current-carrying capacity to approximately 25% of the current sensor rating.

ATTENTION: Si le calibreur est retiré le disjoncteur et traversé par un courant, le niveau de protection s’ajuste à approximativement 25% du calibre du transformateur d’intensité.

Interchangeable rating plugs are removed with a Rating Plug Extractor, Catalog No. TRTOOL. (Suitable equivalents are commercially available as “integrated circuit (DIP) extractors.”) Grasp the rating plug tabs with the extractor and pull the plug out as illustrated in Figure 59. Be sure to grab the tabs and not the front cover of the rating plug, or the plug may be damaged.

Rejection features are provided on all rating plugs to prevent application mismatches. Never force a rating plug into place. Refer to Chapter 1 to find the appropriate rating plugs for each sensor rating and breaker frame.

If a replacement rating plug has a different rating than the plug that was removed, follow the appropriate setup procedure in Chapter 2 to enter the new rating.

To reinstall the Trip Unit, perform the following procedure:

1. Pull out the locking slide on the right of the mounting plate. Push the Trip Unit into place, carefully engaging the 50-pin connector and lining up the rejection posts on the rear of the Trip Unit with the holes in the mounting plate. Release the locking slide.

2. Check that the breaker racking mechanism is still in the TEST position. Pull the manual charging handle
