Control Power
The current through the circuit breaker provides power to operate the MicroLogic trip
unit, maintaining protection if the trip unit is not externally powered.
Backlighting
An optional external 24 Vdc power supply for the MicroLogic trip unit is available
for:
•Modifying the setting values when the circuit breaker is open
•Displaying measurements when the circuit breaker is closed but current
through the circuit breaker is low (15–50 A depending on the rating
•Continuing to display the reason for the trip and the breaking current when the
circuit breaker is open
Without the optional external 24 Vdc power supply, the MicroLogic trip unit only
functions when the circuit breaker is closed. When the circuit breaker is open or the
current through the circuit breaker is low, the MicroLogic trip unit has no power and
the display switches off.
The external 24 Vdc power supply is available to the trip unit when it is connected
to another module in the ULP system (Modbus Interface Module (IFM), Front
Display Module (FDM121), or UTA Tester).
When the MicroLogic trip unit is not connected to a ULP module, it can be
connected directly to an external 24 Vdc power supply using the optional 24 Vdc
supply terminal block.
When the MicroLogic trip unit is powered by an external 24 Vdc power supply, the
trip unit display has white backlighting that is:
ENGLISH
Trip Unit Installation
•Low intensity continuously
•High intensity for 1 minute after pressing one of the keypad buttons

Setting the Protection
Reflex Tripping
To set the protection functions:
•On the MicroLogic trip unit, use the preset dials (depending on the protection
function and the MicroLogic type) and the keypad.
•With the communication option, use the RSU software under the Basic
protection tab.
For more information about using the RSU software to set the protection function,
see “Setting the Protection Functions” on page 81.
In addition to the devices integrated in the MicroLogic trip units, the PowerPact™ Lframe circuit breakers have reflex protection. This system breaks very high fault
currents by mechanically tripping the device with a “piston” actuated directly by the
pressure produced in the circuit breaker from a short circuit. This piston operates
the opening mechanism, resulting in ultra-fast circuit breaker tripping.

Thermal Image
The trip unit uses the calculation of a thermal image to evaluate the conductor heat
rise and precisely monitor the thermal state of the conductors.
Example:
Comparison of the heat rise calculation without thermal image (diagram A) and with
thermal image (diagram B):
•Trip unit without thermal image: On each current pulse, the trip unit only
considers the thermal effect on the pulse under consideration. No tripping
occurs despite the build-up in conductor heat rise.
•Trip unit with thermal image: The trip unit adds the thermal effect of successive
current pulses. Tripping occurs based on the actual thermal state of the conductor.

Use the analysis of the equation of heat rise in a conductor, through which a
current I runs, to determine the nature of physical phenomena:
ENGLISH
Thermal Memory
Short-Time Protection
•For low- or medium-intensity currents (I < I
), the conductor equilibrium
r
temperature (for an infinite time) only depends on the current quadratic
demand value, see “Quadratic Demand Value (Thermal Image)” on page 48.
The limit temperature corresponds to a limit current (I
pickup for trip unit long-
r
time protection).
•For low overcurrents (I
< I < Isd), the conductor temperature only depends on
r
the I2t energy provided by the current. The limit temperature is an I2t IDMT
curve.
•For high overcurrents (I > I
), the phenomenon is identical if the I2t ON
sd
function of the short-time protection has been configured, see “I2t ON/OFF
Function” on page 37.
MicroLogic 5 and 6 trip units incorporate the thermal memory function which
ensures that the conductors are cooled even after tripping. Cooling lasts for 20
minutes before or after tripping.

Neutral protection on MicroLogic 5 and 6 trip units protects all types of electrical
distribution applications against overload and short-circuit currents.
It is available on trip units with ENCT option
It is identical for MicroLogic 5 and 6 trip units.
Normally, the phase protection protects the neutral conductor (if it is distributed and
identical to the phases in size, that is, full neutral).
The neutral must have specific protection if:
•It is reduced in size compared to the phases
•Nonlinear loads generating third order harmonics (or multiples thereof) are
installed
Operation
It may be necessary to switch off the neutral for operational reasons (multiple
source diagram) or safety reasons (working with power off).
To summarize, the neutral conductor can be:
•Non-distributed
•Distributed, not switched off, and not protected
•Distributed, not switched off but protected
(circuit breaker with ENCT option)
Section 2—Electrical Distribution Protection MicroLogic™ 5 and 6 Electronic Trip Units—User Guide
Neutral protection has the same characteristics as phase protection:
•Its pickup is in proportion with the long-time I
•It has the same trip time delay values as the long-time Ir and short-time Isd
protections.
•Its instantaneous protection is identical.
Setting the Neutral Protection
Set the trip unit Neutral status and the IN pickup:
•Using the keypad on the MicroLogic trip unit
•With the communication option, set using the RSU software
Neutral Protection Setting Value
MicroLogic 5 and 6 trip units incorporate the OSN (Oversized Neutral) function,
which manages protection of the neutral conductor when third-order harmonic
currents (and multiples thereof) are present (see “Harmonic Currents” on page 55).

Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI)
Use zone selective interlocking (ZSI) to reduce the electrodynamic stress on
equipment when using selective coordination.
Example of ZSI Operation
ZSI improves coordination by being selective about the position of the fault. A
signal wire links the installed circuit breaker trip units and manages the trip time
delay for upstream circuit breakers according to the fault position.
ZSI optimizes the availability of energy and reduce electrodynamic stress on the
equipment. It is applicable to both short-time and ground-fault protection.
Figure 13 – ZSI Example
The trip units on circuit breakers Q1 and Q2 have the same time delay settings as
with selective coordination.
•If a fault occurs downstream of downstream circuit breaker Q2 (Figure 13, ZSI
1), the trip units on circuit breakers Q1 and Q2 detect the fault simultaneously.
The trip unit on circuit breaker Q2 sends a restraint signal to the trip unit on
circuit breaker Q1, which remains set on its time delay t
. Circuit breaker Q2
sd
trips and clears the fault (instantaneously if circuit breaker Q2 is not delayed).
The other users downstream of circuit breaker Q1 still have power, the energy
availability is optimized.
•If a fault occurs downstream of circuit breaker Q1 (Figure 13, ZSI 2), the trip
unit on circuit breaker Q1 does not receive a signal from the trip unit on circuit
breaker Q2. Time delay t
is therefore inhibited. Circuit breaker Q1 trips and
sd
clears the fault on the equipment instantaneously. The electrodynamic stress
created by the short-circuit current on the equipment is reduced to the
minimum.
ENGLISH
ZSI Wiring
The MicroLogic 5 and 6 trip units support ZSI. The signal wire is connected to the
trip unit as shown Figure 14.
The short-time and ground-fault protection time delay settings (MicroLogic 6) for
trip units using ZSI must comply with the rules relating to selective coordination.
ZSI Connection
Connection Wire Characteristics:
•Impedance: <16 Ω per 300 m
•Maximum length: 300 m
•Type of cable: Shielded twisted (Belden 8441 or equivalent)
•Permissible conductor cross-section: 0.4–2.5 mm2
•Interconnection limit on inputs Z3, Z4, and Z5 (to downstream devices): 15 devices
•Interconnection limit on outputs Z1 and Z2 (to upstream devices) 5 devices

The MicroLogic A and E trip units determine in real time the maximum (max) and
minimum (max) value reached by designated electrical quantities for the current
period.
The MicroLogic A (ammeter) trip unit determines in real time:
•The maximum (max) and minimum (min) value of the current for each phase
reached for the current period.
•The maximum value (MAXmax) of all phase currents and the minimum value
(MINmin) of all phase currents.
The MicroLogic E (energy) trip unit determines in real time the maximum (max) and
minimum (min) value reached by the following electrical quantities for the current
period.
•Current: Phase and neutral currents, average currents, and current unbalances
•Voltage: Phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral voltages, average voltages, and
voltage unbalances
•Power: Total power and power for each phase (active, reactive, apparent, and
distortion)
•Total harmonic distortion: The total harmonic distortion THD for both current

Sliding Metering Window
ENGLISH
Set the duration of the sliding metering window from 5 to 60 minutes in increments
of 1 minute.
By default, the duration of the sliding metering window is 15 minutes.
At the end of each sliding metering window and then once a minute:
•The demand value over the metering window is calculated and updated.
•Calculation of a new demand value is initialized on a new metering window:
— By eliminating the contribution of the first minute of the previous metering
window
— By adding the contribution of the current minute
Synchronized Metering Window
Synchronization is done using the communication network.
When the synchronization pulse is received:
•The demand value over the synchronized metering window is recalculated.
•A new demand value is calculated.
NOTE: The interval between two synchronization pulses must be less than
60 minutes.
Quadratic Demand Value (Thermal Image)
The quadratic demand value model represents the conductor heat rise (thermal
image).
The heat rise created by the current I(t) over the time interval T is identical to the heat
rise created by a constant current Ith over the same interval. Ith represents the
thermal effect of the current I(t) over the interval T. If the period T is infinite, the
current I(th) represents the thermal image of the current.
The demand value according to the thermal model is calculated on a sliding
metering window.
NOTE: The thermal demand value is similar to an rms value.
Arithmetic Demand Value
The arithmetic demand value model represents the consumption of electricity and
the associated cost.
The demand value according to the arithmetic model can be calculated on any type
of metering window.
Peak Demand Value
The MicroLogic E trip unit indicates the maximum value (peak) reached over a
defined period for:
•The demand values of the phase and neutral currents
•The demand values of the total powers (active, apparent, and reactive)
48-EN
The demand values are organized into two groups (see “Real-Time
Measurements” on page 44):

The MicroLogic E trip unit provides, using the communication network, the
measurements, and quality indicators required for energy management:
•Reactive power measurement
•Power factor PF
•cos φ
•Total harmonic distortion THD
•Distortion power measurement
For more information, see “Power Metering (MicroLogic E)” on page 49 and
“Energy Metering (MicroLogic E)” on page 53.
The energy quality indicators consider:
•Reactive energy management (cos φ metering) to optimize the size of the
equipment or avoid peak tariffs
•Management of harmonics to avoid degradation and malfunctions during
operation
Use these measurements and indicators to implement corrective actions to
maintain energy quality.
Current THD
The current THD is a percentage of the rms value of harmonic currents greater
than 1 in relation to the rms value of the fundamental current (order 1). The

Deformation of the current wave created by a nonlinear device with a high THD(I)
can lead to deformation of the voltage wave, depending on the level of distortion
and the source impedance. This deformation of the voltage wave affects all of the
devices powered by the supply. Sensitive devices on the system can therefore be

This factor can in theory be higher than 100% but is in practice rarely higher than
15%.
Use the total harmonic distortion THD(V) to assess the deformation of the voltage
wave with a single number. The limit values in Table 27 are commonly evaluated
by energy distribution companies:
Table 27 – THD Limit Values
THD(V) Value Comments
THD(V) < 5% Insignificant deformation of the voltage wave. Little risk of malfunctions.
5% < THD(V) < 8% Significant deformation of the voltage wave. Risk of heat rise and malfunctions.
8% < THD(V)
Significant deformation of the voltage wave. There is a high risk of malfunction
unless the installation is calculated and sized based on this deformation.
Deformation of the voltage wave affects all devices powered by the supply.
NOTE: Use the THD(V) indication to assess the risks of disturbance of sensitive
devices supplied with power.
When harmonic distortion is present, calculation of the total apparent power
involves three terms:

Managing the Power Factor PF and Cos φ:
ENGLISH
Minimum and Maximum Values
Managing the PF and cos φ indicators consists of:
•Defining critical situations
•Implementing monitoring of the indicators in accordance with the definition of
critical situations
Situations are considered critical when the values of the indicators are around 0.
The minimum and maximum values of the indicators are defined for these
situations.
Figure 21 illustrates the variations of the cos φ indicator (with the definition of the
cos φ min/ max) and its value according to IEEE convention for a receiver
application:
NOTE: The minimum and maximum values of the PF and cos φ indicator indicators
are not physically significant: they are markers which determine the ideal operating
zone for the load.

Monitoring the Cos φ and Power Factor PF Indicators
According to the IEEE convention, critical situations in receiver mode on a
capacitive or inductive load are detected and discriminated (two values).
Table 28 indicates the direction in which the indicators vary and their value in
receiver mode.
•The quality indicator max and min indicate both critical situations.
•According to the IEC convention, critical situations in receiver mode on a capacitive
62-EN
or inductive load are detected but not discriminated (one value).
Selecting the Sign Convention for the
Cos φ and Power Factor PF
Set the sign convention for the cos φ and PF indicators with the RSU software (see
“Metering Setup” on page 82).
The IEEE convention is applied by default.
NOTE: The sign convention selection also determines the alarm selection. For
example, monitoring of an alarm indicator which uses IEC convention is incorrect if
the IEEE convention has been configured.
Measurements
MicroLogic trip units provide measurements:
ENGLISH
Accuracy
•Using the communication network
•On the Front Display Module (FDM121) in the Services/Metering menu (see
bulletin DOCA0088EN: FDM121—Display for LV Circuit Breaker—User Guide).
Some measurements can be accessed on the MicroLogic trip unit display (see
“Metering Screens” on page 15).
The tables in this chapter indicate the measurements available and specify the
following information for each measurement:
•Unit
•Measurement range
•Accuracy
•Accuracy range
The trip units comply with the requirements of UL 489.
The accuracy of each measurement is defined:
•For a MicroLogic trip unit powered in normal conditions
•At a temperature of 73°F +/- 3°F (23°C +/- 2°C)
For a measurement taken at a different temperature, in the temperature range 13°F to 158°F (-25°C to +70°C), the derating coefficient for temperature accuracy
is 0.05% per degree.
The accuracy range is the part of the measurement range for which the defined
accuracy is obtained; the definition of this range can be linked to the circuit breaker
load characteristics.

The alarm description tables indicate for each of the alarms:
•The setting range (thresholds and time delays)
•The default setting values See “Tables of Alarms” on page 72.
Each alarm is assigned a priority level:
•High priority
•Medium priority
•Low priority
•No priority
Alarm indication on the Front Display Module FDM121) depends on the alarm
priority level (see bulletin DOCA0088EN: FDM121—Display for LV Circuit Breaker —User Guide).
The user sets the priority level of each alarm, according to the urgency of the action
required.
By default, alarms are medium priority, except for alarms associated with operating
indicators which are low priority (see “Tables of Alarms” on page 72).

Equality Condition
ENGLISH
The alarm is activated when the associated monitored quantity equals the pickup
threshold.
The alarm is deactivated when the associated monitored quantity is different from
the pickup threshold.
Alarm activation is determined using the pickup/drop-out thresholds.

Quadrant 4)
SA Pickup threshold
SD Dropout thresholds
1 Quadrant 4 alarm
pickup zone (shaded)
Management of Time Delays (Overvalue or Undervalue Conditions)
The alarm time delays are managed by two counters that are normally at 0.
For the pickup threshold, the time delay counter is:
•Incremented when the activation condition is fulfilled.
•Decremented if the activation condition is no longer fulfilled (before the end of
the pickup time delay). If the deactivation condition is reached, the pickup time
delay counter is reset and the dropout time delay counter is incremented.
For the dropout threshold, the same principle is used.
The example curve shows management of the time delay on an overvoltage alarm
(code 79, see “Tables of Alarms” on page 72)
The alarm pickup time delay counter trips when the voltage crosses the 500 V
threshold. It is incremented or decremented according to the value of the voltage in
relation to the threshold.
The alarm dropout time delay counter trips when the voltage drops back below the
420 V threshold.

The type of alarms associated with monitoring the cos and PF indicators must always be consistent with the sign convention (IEEE or IEC) for
the PF indicator.
Operation of SDx Module Outputs Assigned to Alarms
Two alarms can be assigned to the two SDx Module outputs.
Set up the two outputs using the RSU software (Outputs tab). They are activated
(or deactivated) by the occurrence (or completion) of:
ENGLISH
•An alarm associated with a measurement (see “Alarms Associated with
Measurements” on page 68)
•An alarm on a trip, failure, and maintenance event (see“Alarms on a Trip,
Failure, and Maintenance Event” on page 71)
For more details on the SDx Modules, see the PowerPact™ H-, J-, and L-Frame Circuit Breaker—User Guide.
SDx Module Output Operating Modes
Set the operating mode for the SDx Module outputs as:
•Non-latching mode
The output (S) position follows the associated alarm (A) transitions.
•Latching mode
The position of the output (S) follows the active transition of the associated
alarm (A) and remains latched irrespective of the alarm state.
•Time-delayed non-latching mode
The output (S) follows the activation transition for the associated alarm (A). The
output returns to the deactivated position after a time delay irrespective of the
alarm state.
The setting range for the time delay (using the RSU software) is
1–360 s. The default time delay setting is 5 seconds.
Acknowledge the Latching Mode using the MicroLogic trip unit keypad by pressing
the Special Features of Latching Mode
If the acknowledge request is made when the alarm is still active:
•Acknowledgment of the output active position has no effect.
•Keypad navigation is possible.
•The screensaver returns to the Out1 message.
If two alarms associated with two outputs in latching mode are active:
•The first alarm message Out1 (or Out2) is displayed on the screen until the
alarm is acknowledged (the output’s active position is acknowledged after the
alarm is deactivated).
•After acknowledgment of the first alarm, the screen displays the second alarm
message Out2 (or Out1) until the second alarm is acknowledged.
•After both acknowledgments, the display returns to the screensaver.
The Remote Setting Utility (RSU) software works with MicroLogic trip units to:
•Check and configure:
— Metering functions
— Alarms
— Assignment of the SDx Module outputs
— BSCM functions
— Modbus™ Interface Module
•Modify passwords
•Save configurations
•Edit configurations
•Display trip curves
•Download the firmware
In the context of this manual, only the functions relating to setup of the MicroLogic
trip unit and the SDx Modules are described. For more information about functions,
in particular configuring the BSCM option, the Modbus communication interface
option, and passwords, see the RSU Software Online Help.
Using the RSU Software
POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF SYSTEM AVAILABILITY, INTEGRITY, AND
CONFIDENTIALITY
• Change default passwords at first use to help prevent unauthorized access to
device settings, controls and information.
• Disable unused ports/services and default accounts to help minimize pathways
for malicious attackers.
• Place networked devices behind multiple layers of cyber defenses (such as
firewalls, network segmentation, and network intrusion detection and
protection.
• Use cybersecurity best practices (for example, least privilege, separation of
duties) to help prevent unauthorized exposure, loss, modification of data and
logs, or interruption of services.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
The RSU software can be used:
•In standalone mode, directly on the MicroLogic trip unit using the test port, a
standard computer, and the UTA tester.
•Using the communication network

Local Indicator
Operation of the Ready LED
The Ready LED (green) blinks slowly when the electronic trip unit is ready to
provide protection. It indicates that the trip unit is operating correctly.
NOTE: The Ready LED lights at a value equal to the sum of the circuit breaker
currents for each phase and the neutral above a limit value. This limit value is above
the Ready LED, on the front face of the MicroLogic trip unit.
For example, a MicroLogic 5.2 trip unit with a 40 A rating has a limit value of 15 A.
This limit value can be:
•The sum of the 5 A phase current intensities (three balanced phases)
•7.5 A in two phases (the current intensity in the third phase is zero)
•5 A in one phase if the circuit breaker is:

Values According to IEC Convention
The cos φ max value corresponds to the minimum value of the load cos φ, whether
leading or lagging. This provides the user information on how the equipment is
performing from a cost point of view.
Do not use just the value of cos φ to decide whether to install inductances or
capacitors to increase its value.
If a critical situation occurs, the alarm on the cos φ sends an alert according to IEC
convention integrated in the MicroLogic trip unit. Use this alarm, associated with an
alarm defining the type of load or the operating quadrant, to monitor the two critical
situations automatically.
MicroLogic™ 5 and 6 Electronic Trip Units—User GuideSection 6—MicroLogic Trip Unit Indicators
Setting the Cos φ Alarms According to IEEE Convention
ENGLISH
Monitor the cos φ indicator to manage the power:
•When the power starts, too high a value of cos φ (lagging), for example higher
than – 0.6, results in penalties. The capacitive compensation value determines
the value of the Qfund reactive power.
•When the power stops, too low a value of cos φ (leading), for example less
than +0.6, results in penalties. Disconnect the capacitive compensation
element.
Two alarms monitor the indicators:
•Alarm 124 (monitoring of the lagging cos φ) on an overvalue condition for
operation in quadrant 1 (inductive reactive energy consumed)
•Alarm 121 (monitoring of the leading cos φ) on an undervalue condition for
operation in quadrant 4 (capacitive reactive energy consumed)
For setting and monitoring the cos

BSCM Counters
The counters embedded in the BSCM generate information relating to the number of
volt-free contact operations. These volt-free contacts qualify:
•The number of open/close operations (OF contact) and open on fault operations
(SD and SDE contacts) on the PowerPact™ H-, J-, or L-frame circuit breaker
•The number of close, open, and reset operations on the motor mechanism
MicroLogic Trip Unit Counters
Access the maintenance counters embedded in the MicroLogic trip unit with the
communication option.
•Counters are assigned to each type of protection:
— Long time protection
— Short-time protection
— Ground-fault protection
MicroLogic™ 5 and 6 Electronic Trip Units—User GuideSection 7—The Communication Network
•Ten counters are assigned to the alarms associated with measurements.
ENGLISH
These counters reset if the alarm is reconfigured.
•One counter indicates the number of operating hours. This counter is updated
every 24 hours.
•Four counters are assigned to the load profile: Each counts the number of
operating hours per loading section (for example, one counter indicates the
number of operating hours for the loading section 50–79% of I
).
n
•Six counters are assigned to the temperature profile. Each counts the number
of operating hours per temperature section (for example, one counter indicates
the number of operating hours for the temperature section 60–74°C).
•Use maintenance counters to enter quantitative information about operations
performed on the MicroLogic trip unit (such as the number of push to trip tests)
or the status of the MicroLogic trip units (such as the number of Err screens or
protection setting lock/unlock operations).
