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.

1-3 Trip Unit Catalog Numbers
A simple catalog-numbering system defines all of the standard and optional Trip Unit functions for each of the two
series of Trip Units. K332LSIGDZ1R is an example of a
valid catalog number.
The first character of the catalog number, K, defines the
Trip Unit as configured for a WavePro circuit breaker.
Table 1. Breaker frame size referred to by the second character of the
The third and fourth characters of the catalog number
indicate the CT that is actually installed in the breaker, as
listed in Table 2.
Table 2. Installed breaker CT size referred to by third and fourth
The fifth character of the catalog number is the letter L,
which indicates that all Trip Units come with long-time
overcurrent protection. Additional letters are appended to
the catalog number to indicate installed protective functions, as in Table 3. These suffixes are valid for both
MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units.
They are appended from left to right in the order given.

For example, a Trip Unit with catalog number
K332LSIGDZ1PMR has the following functions:

L -- long-time overcurrent protection
S -- short-time overcurrent protection
I -- adjustable instantaneous protection
GD -- defeatable ground-fault protection
Z1 – ground-fault zone-selective interlock
PM -- MicroVersaTrip PM with relaying, metering, and
communication
R – Replacement Trip Unit
1-4 Rating Plugs
Interchangeable rating plugs are used to establish or
change the current rating of the breaker. Rating plugs for
MicroVersaTrip Plus or MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units in
WavePro breakers are interchangeable within the same
sensor rating. A built-in rejection feature prevents the
insertion of a rating plug with an incorrect sensor rating
into a Trip Unit.
Rating plug catalog numbers are listed in Table 5.

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
