• And many other feat ure s
Additionally, with the optional Vol tag e Div ider M odule (VDM
TM
),
the AC-PRO-II can provide over/under voltage protection and
power calculations.
The AC-PRO-II is 55% smaller t han the original AC-PRO
®
and
including more features and more flexibility. The smaller form
factor allows application on a wider range of breaker s. The trip
unit features versatile user settings that allow setting the
frequency (50Hz or 60Hz), CT secondary ra ting , and Ground
Fault type in the field, e li minating t he need for a special factoryconfigured trip unit and si mplify ing the kit ordering process.
The AC-PRO-II is backwards compatible with existing AC-PRO
CTs, actuators, wiring harness, and settings, making direct
replacements easy. Similar to AC-PRO, the AC-PRO-II
settings are entered using simple parameters. No percentages
or multipliers are required. AC-PRO-II settings are
programmed using the easy-to-read multi-line OLED display.
The AC-PRO-II includes the following Current-based features:
Long Time (LT)
Short Time (ST)
Instantaneous (I)
Ground Fault (GF)
Thermal Memory (for LT, ST, & GF)
Neutral Overload (NOL)
QUICK-TRIP Instantaneous ( QT-I)
QUICK-TRIP Ground Fault (Q T-GF)
Current Metering
Overload (Long Time pickup) Alarm
Instantaneous Override (I-OVRD)
(factory setting – normally di sabled)
Instantaneous on Close (I-CLOS)
(factory setting – normally enabled)
The AC-PRO-II measures the true RMS current through
each of the breaker’s three poles.
AC-PRO-II settings include a Ground Fault type setting,
which allows the user to select either Residual Ground Fault
protection (vector sum), or Ground Return Ground F ault
protection (measures GF directly).
The QUICK-TRIP Instantaneous and QUICK-TRIP Ground
Fault protective settings are available to minimize downstream
Arc Flash Hazard.
The AC-PRO-II uses a unique algorithm to determine if the
RMS currents are greater than 12 times the CT rating where
the CTs may be saturated. The AC-PRO-II then corrects the
effect of CT saturation on the Long Time and Short Time trip
functions.
The AC-PRO-II can be provided with an optional Voltage
Divider Module (VDM) attached to t he ba c k of the trip unit.
When configured with the VDM, the AC-PRO-II offers the
following Voltage-based features:
• Rated for up to 600V three-phase systems
• Under-Voltage (Brown O ut) trip & alarm
• Over-Voltage trip & alarm
• Voltage metering
• Power metering:
(KW, KVA, KWHr, KVAHr, Power Factor)
• VDM provides continuous trip un it power even when the
breaker is open and not carrying current, allowing for
communications, even wi thout CT power.
In addition, the AC-PRO-II also features the following:
(features are standard for a ll AC-PRO-II trip units unless noted
otherwise)
• Configurable alarm relay (form C)
• Self-Test
• Front USB port for settings upload and download,
SAFE-T-TRIP remote trip device, auxiliary power and
firmware updates

o Neutral CT secondary ratings:
2A, 1.5A, 1A, 0.5A, 0.4A, 0.25A, 0.2A, 0.18A
o Ground Fault type can be set to “Residual” or
“Ground Return” dependi ng on the CT location &
Ground Fault scheme.
• Compact form-factor allows the AC-PRO-II to be used on
a wide range of breakers, including more insulated case
breakers.
• Backwards compatibility with AC-PRO actuators, CT’s,
wiring harness, and settings.
• Waveform capture
• Sluggish Breaker
• Time-stamping of Trip events
The trip unit stores the t ri p history data for the last 8 trip
events and the trip log data in a non-volatile FRAM memory
for later recall. All the settings are stored in non-volatile
memory. Battery backup is not required.
The trip unit does not requ ire external power to operate. Power
is derived from the current transformers (CTs). An internal
battery provides power to r eview and change protection
settings when CT power is not available.
The AC-PRO-II trip unit is manufactured under multiple
patents. See the link below for additional information:
AC-PRO-II® is currently UL and ULC classified for use on
the following low voltage AC power circuit breakers:
Square D/Westinghouse DS-206, DS-416, DS-632
General Electric AKR-75
ITE K-600, K-800, K-3000
Siemens/Allis-Chalmers LA-1600
UL and ULC classification is in accordance with UL1066,
CSA C22.2, IEEE C37.59-2007 as well as appropriate
sections of ANSI C37.17-1979 and C37.50-1989.
The AC-PRO-II has the CE Mark.
AC-PRO-II was tested by an independent laboratory and
found in compliance with the following standards:
IEEE C37.90.1-2002, Surge Withstand
IEEE C37.90.2-2004, RF Susceptibility
EN 61000-4-3: 2006, RF Immunity
EN 61000-4-4: 2004, Fast Transient
EN 61000-4-5: 2006, Surge Immunity
Press the “DISPLAY” push button to turn the trip unit on
When on battery power, the trip unit will automatically turn

A 3-Volt, 850 mAh, CR2, long life Lithium battery is used in
the trip unit. There are no restrictions on transport and no
special methods of disposal required with this battery.
The AC-PRO-II design uses the battery for the following
functions / features:
1) Allows the user to commission (program) the trip unit
without using the auxiliary power pack.
2) Allows the user to recall the last trip data even if the
breaker is open and without using the auxiliary power
pack.
3) Maintains the internal clock for accurate time and date
for time stamping the trip history and on-demand
waveforms.
4) Allows resetting (unlatching) the alarm relay when no
other power source is available.

off 60 seconds after the last button is pushed to conserve
battery energy.
**** NOTE ****
The AC-PRO-II can be powered in 5 different ways: CTs,
internal battery, USB port, 24VDC auxiliary, or by the
Voltage Divider Module (VDM).
The AC-PRO-II is normally powered from the breaker phase
CT’s if at least one phase current is above the C T power-up
threshold. See Table 3-A for CT power-up values. If the
current is not high enough to power the trip unit, the trip unit
will power down. If the unit is powered down and a fault
occurs requiring rapid response, the high current of the fault
provides CT power and the trip unit performs as published in
the Time Current Curves.
If the trip unit is connected to a Voltage Divider Module
(VDM), USB, or 24VDC auxiliary power, these sources
provide constant power.
During normal operation (in service), if the trip unit is
powered by current or voltage and no errors are present, the
OK LED should be ON. If current is too low or if voltage (via
VDM) is not present, pressing the “DISPLAY” Push button
will temporarily power up the trip unit and display using the
internal battery. The OK LED should then be on.
The AC-PRO-II derives both the signal and power from the
breaker phase CTs. For 1-Amp CT’s, the trip unit will powerup with less than 6% of the rated CT tap current through a
single CT. See complete table below:
Phase CT Secondary
Rating
AC-PRO-II
The battery is NOT involved in the protective functions of
the trip unit. The trip unit will provide protection even if the
battery is removed.
The battery is NOT required for the trip unit to maintain
any of its memory including the user programmed pick-up
and delay settings and the last trip data.
If the battery voltage is low, the internal date/time clock
will not be correct.

K. COMM ACTIVE LED
The communications active LED illuminates when
the trip unit is transmitting information via
Communications.
The breaker wiring harness connects the trip unit to the CTs
and actuator. The wiring harness plugs into the 10-pin
connector on the front of the trip unit and is retained with two
screws. The breaker wiring harness includes wires f or the
Actuator, Phase A CT, Phase B CT, Phase C CT, and
optional Neutral CT. Two ejector levers are provided to help
in disconnecting the harness connector. The ejector levers
also lock the connector in place.
A neutral CT wiring harness is provided as part of the neutral
CT installation kit. The neutral CT kit is required for units
applied to 4-wire systems where Ground Fault protection is
desired or required. The ground fault function on a 3-wire
system does not require a neutral CT. Additionally, this
connection method allows Neutral Overload Protection to be
implemented.
The breaker wiring harness connection to the AC-PRO-II is
compatible with existing AC-PRO breaker wiring harness.
The AC-PRO-II is compatible with multiple types of existing
Ground Fault protection schemes.
Figure 5.3 shows a residual Ground Fault wiring diagram.
For this configuration, the AC-PRO-II calculates the residual
Ground Fault current. If the system is a 4-wire
(3-phase + neutral), the neutral CT must be provided if
Ground Fault protection is desired.
Figure 5.4 shows a ground return Ground Fault wiring
diagram. For this configuration, the AC-PRO-II directly
measures the Ground Return current on the neutral current
input. This configuration only applies to 4-wire systems
where Ground Fault protection is required. Neutral Overload
protection cannot be implemented if the Ground Fault type is
Ground Return.
See Section 11.13 for Ground Fault settings.

Ground Fault protection. Defeating Ground Fault protection
is necessary for some protective schemes, for example
double-ended switchgear that is operated with the tie
breaker closed.
When the Ground Fault defeat input is open, the Ground
Fault protective function will operate normally.
When the Ground Fault defeat input terminals are shorted,
the Ground Fault current (if any) will be calculated and
displayed, however Ground Fault trips will not occur.
Note: If the GF Defeat input is opened during a Ground Fault
event, the Ground Fault protection function will begin
functioning and timing as soon as the Ground Fault Defeat
input is opened.
The 24VDC auxiliary power port is available for connection
to the following sources:
1) B-292 Secondary Injection Test Set.
2) T-490-ASM 24VDC Power Supply.

If the AC-PRO-II is installed on a breaker where the face of
the trip unit is not concealed by a cubicle door, the USB port
on the face of the trip unit itself can be safely accessed.
If the AC-PRO-II is installed on a breaker concealed behind
a cubicle door, the kit will include a USB extender cable that
mounts flush in the door. This allows the USB port to be
used without opening the door. See Section 5.6.1 for USB
extension cable information.
If AC-PRO-II is installed on a breaker that is located behind
a cubicle door, a USB panel mount extension cable and
legend plate is provided in the retrofit kit. This provides a
permanent USB connection from the AC-PRO-II to a USB
port that is accessible at the cubicle door. The cable (5/C, 6
feet long) features a right angle mini-USB connector for the
AC-PRO-II and a USB port with cover, and a threaded nut
for securing to the cubicle door.
If a breaker position limit switch was provided by URC with
the breaker retrofit kit, it can be wired to the breaker position
contact “a/b” input for breaker position indication, and also to
allow the patented Sluggish Breaker
operate with low or no breaker current. The type of breaker
contact used is configured in the settings menu. The
breaker contact type can be set as 52a (contact normally
open when the breaker is open), or 52b (contact normally

**** NOTE ****
**** IMPORTANT ****
determine the Hazard Risk Categories (HRC).
The QUICK-TRIP system is a manually controlled arc flash
hazard reduction system. It can reduce trip times when
turned on and allows selective coordination between circuit
breakers when turned off.
If maintenance personnel must work on energized
equipment, they will first turn the QUICK-TRIP system on at
the upstream breaker feeding the equipment or breaker. If a
fault now occurs, the upstream breaker will trip quickly based
on the QUICK-TRIP settings reducing the Arc Flash Hazard to personnel.
When the maintenance wor k is finished, the QUICK-TRIP
system is turned off and the original selective coordination is
back in effect.
The QUICK-TRIP system consists of the following
components:
1) AC-PRO-II trip unit.
2) AC-PRO-II QUICK TRIP Switch:
(URC Part #QT2-SWITCH) consisting of Padlockable
QUICK-TRIP On/Off toggle switch, QUICK-TRIP On
LED, Push-to-Verify button, Remote Switc h T erminals,
and Remote Indication Terminals.
3) 4/C QUICK-TRIP cable with connectors.
Figure 7.1: QUICK-TRIP System and Connections
When QUICK-TRIP is on, the following settings are enabled:
• I QUICK-TRIP (I QT)
• GF QUICK-TRIP (GF QT)
These are standard AC-PRO-II settings. All other settings
remain in effect. Refer to Section 6.2.
The “QUICK-TRIP ON LED” provides positive indication that
the QUICK-TRIP settings are active if the LED is on.
If the AC-PRO-II is not powered up (by current, voltage
(VDM), USB or 24VDC Aux.), the QUICK-TRIP Switch
“Push-to-Verify” button is available. Pressing this button will
“wake up” the trip unit using the AC-PRO-II battery, and the
QUICK-TRIP ON LED will illuminate, providing positive
indication that the QUICK-TRIP switc h or remote
QUICK-TRIP switch is in the ON position.
QUICK-TRIP Instantaneous and QUICK-TRIP Ground
Fault features can be activated only if the AC-PRO-II is
installed with (connected to) an AC-PRO-II
QUICK-TRIP switch.
A qualified engineer must determine the QUICK-TRIP
settings, calculate the incident energy levels and
Figure 7.2: AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP Switch Drilling Plan
The QUICK-TRIP system is easy to install on the front of the
breaker cubicle door.
To install the QUICK-TRIP Switch:
1. Find a suitable location on the cubicle door and mark
the location of the three (3) holes using the
dimensions in Figure 7.2.
2. Drill two (2) 1/4” mounting holes.
3. For the center hole, cut a 1-3/4” diameter hole using a
hole saw or alternately, use a 1-1/4” conduit knockout
punch (1.73” D).
4. Attach the QUICK-TRIP Switch to the front of the
cubicle door using the two (2) supplied 10-32 screws
and lock washers.
5. Connect the QUICK-TRIP Switch to the AC-PRO-II trip
unit by plugging one end of the 4/C cable provided into
the jack on the back of the QUICK-TRIP Switch. Plug
the other end of the cable into the “QT” jack on the
front of the AC-PRO-II.
6. Route the cable so it does not interfere with the
opening or closing of the cubical door or with the
racking of the breaker between connect and
disconnect positions. Use cable ties and holders to
hold the cable in position.
Figure 7.4: AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP Switch
The AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP switch includes terminals on
the rear for connection to a remote QUICK-TRIP switch
(provided by others).
Refer to Figure 7.1. If 120VAC (+/- 15%) is applied to the
remote QUICK-TRIP switch terminals, the QUICK-TRIP
settings are activated.
Figure 7.3: QUICK-TRIP Switch Mounting
QUICK-TRIP protection can be activated (by applying
120VAC to the remote Quick Trip switch terminals)
even when the AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP toggle switch is
in the OFF position. Therefore, if a remote
QUICK-TRIP switch is installed, URC recommends
installing label(s) or nameplate(s) that indicate the
presence and location of the remote QUICK-TRIP
The AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP switch includes terminals on
the rear for connection to a customer-supplied remote
QUICK-TRIP indicating light or other device.
Refer to Figure 7.1
(ON), the Remote QUICK-TRIP trip Indication contacts
close. The contacts are rated 120VAC, 0.5A.
The optional Voltage Divider Module (VDM) provides the
following voltage-based protection and voltage and power
calculations:
Under-Voltage Trip & Alarm (Brown Out)
Over-Voltage Trip & Alarm
Voltage Metering
Power Metering:
The VDM is rated for up to 600V three-phase power
systems. In addition, the VDM provides continual power to
the AC-PRO-II when the breaker line side is powered,
allowing the trip unit to communicate breaker status even if
the breaker is open or not carrying sufficient current. For
that reason, the VDM option is recommended if the trip unit
will be incorporated in a communications system to avoid
possibility of intermittent communications.
The VDM mounts directly to the back of the AC-PRO-II and
connects to the trip unit via an internal ribbon cable.
See Figure 5.2 for VDM picture and Figure 5.3 for a diagram.
The SAFE-T-TRIP remote t rip device is available for the
AC-PRO-II. The SAFE-T-TRIP allows an operator to trip
open a breaker without standing in front of the breaker. It
also provides a way to obtain the breaker mechanism
operation speed for the important first operation. This is
accomplished using the patented Sluggish Breaker feature in
the AC-PRO-II.
The SAFE-T-TRIP device is furnished with a permanently
connected 15-foot USB cable, allowing the breaker to be
tripped without standing directly in front of the breaker, thus
reducing the arc flash hazard risk .
The SAFE-T-TRIP device connects directly to the trip unit
Mini-USB port or the door-mounted USB Extender.
The SAFE-T-TRIP device should not be operated while
standing in front of a racked in breaker or breaker cubicle.
The SAFE-T-TRIP is supplied with a 9V lithium battery, the
attached USB cable with magnetic cable wrap (for stress
relief), and Instructions, in a durable, waterproof case.
(KW, KVA, KWHr, KVAHr, Power Factor)
Figure 9.2: SAFE-T-TRIP in case
The AC-PRO-II patented Sluggish Breaker Detection feature
captures the breaker clearing time when a trip occurs that
was initiated by the trip unit. If the breaker clearing time is in
excess of the Sluggish Breaker clearing time setting (see
Section 11.19), an alarm message will appear, and if set, the
alarm relay will operate.
If a “sluggish” trip occurs, breaker mechanism maintenance
is required.
When the AC-PRO-II sends a trip pulse to the breaker
actuator, the Sluggish Breaker timer starts. The trip unit
determines the breaker clearing time by one of two methods:
1) Z ero Current Method: If an auxiliary breaker
position contact is NOT wired into the trip unit, the
breaker position contact user setting should be set
to “OFF”, and the trip unit will record the breaker
clearing time by monitoring the current values.
The Sluggish Breaker timer stops when the
current is zero. This method records the breaker
clearing time for each breaker pole.
When using the zero current method, the Sluggish
Breaker feature requires the pre-trip primary
2) URC Breaker Positition Switch Method: If a
breaker position contact is wired into the trip unit,
the breaker position contact user setting should
set to “52a” or “52b”, and the trip unit will record
the breaker clearing time based on the change in
state of the auxiliary breaker contact. The
Sluggish Breaker timer stops when the contact
changes state. This method records one breaker
clearing time and reports the same value for each
pole.
Figure 9.1: SAFE-T-TRIP
Page 20
The Sluggish Breaker feature does not work with
Additionally, the breaker clearing time can be considered
when performing Arc Flash Studies. Any modifications of
clearing times used in Arc Flash Studies should be
performed by a qualified engineer.
Apply 24 VDC to the "+24VDC Aux Power" connector
located on the front of the trip unit, primarily for the
Secondary Injection Test Set. Refer to Section 3.4 for
additional sources.
After the AC-PRO-II is installed on the breaker and powered
up, it must be commissioned as follows:
1) Press the “DISPLAY” button to turn on the display.
2) The “Un-commissioned” message will appear (see figure
below).
Figure 11.1: Un-commissioned Screen
Pressing “SET” will start the user settings process. See
Section 11.3.
Pressing “MORE” will go to the “MORE” menu. See Section
6.4.
Figure 10.1: Sluggish Breaker Screen
Before the AC-PRO-II trip unit is put into service, it must first
be commissioned so it will function. This requires the user to
enter all of the pick-up and delay settings into the unit.
The commissioning process normally takes less than a few
minutes to complete.
The AC-PRO-II can be commissioned using the local display
screen, or using the InfoPro-AC software application. For
commissioning using the local display screen, continue
reading this section. For commissioning using the
InfoPro-AC software application, see Section 23.0, and the
InfoPro-AC help guide included in the application.
The trip unit will NOT FUNCTION as it is shipped from
the factory. The user must first COMMISSION the unit as
outlined in this Section or Section 11.3 to make it
In normal service, the AC-PRO-II is powered directly from
the breaker mounted CT’s.
For commissioning, the trip unit can be powered up in any of
the following ways:
Press the "DISPLAY" button to power-up the trip unit using
the internal battery.
The trip unit is designed to shut off automatically if none of
the push buttons on the face of the unit are pressed for 60
seconds. It is best to have all the desired settings readily
available before commissioning the unit when using the
battery.
If the unit shuts down before the commissioning process is
completed, the process must be started again from the
beginning.
Connect a laptop, PC, or USB wallpack to the front mini-USB
port of the AC-PRO-II, or the USB extension port. The unit
will be powered continuously, regardless of the power
system current and voltage.
The left buttons are for
setting adjustments. These
buttons change depending
on setting options. i.e.

Figure 11.2.
After the Security Code is entered, the first setting is the CT
Tap (rating) in amps. The CT tap can range from 50 amps
to 5,000 amps in 25 amp steps.
The CT rating entered into the trip unit must correspond to
the actual rating of the phase and neutral CT taps. See
Figure 11.2.
The CT secondary rating settings are entered in Amps and
must correspond to the actual CT ratings. See Figure 11.2.
The Phase CT secondary rating is set in Amps with the
following setting options:
1.0, 0.5, 0.4, 0.25, 0.20, 0.18 Amp
The Neutral CT secondary rating is set in Amps with the
following setting options:
2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, 0.4, 0.25, 0.20, 0.18 Amp
Note: the 0.18 CT secondary rating is an abbreviated
representation of 0.185. The associated settings and
performance are based on 0.185.
The power flow direction setting only applies when a VDM is
connected. When the CT wiring polarity matches Figure 5.3,
the power flow direction shoul d be set to “NORMAL”. When
the CT wiring polarity is the opposite of Figure 5.3, the power
flow Direction should be set to “REVERSE”.
Note: This setting affects the KVA and KVAHr values
displayed by the trip unit. See Section 13.0.
Set the AC-PRO-II frequency to match the power system
frequency. The setting options are 50 Hertz and 60 Hertz.
See Figure 11.2.
The Long Time (LT) settings screen includes the following
settings: Enabled (ON or OFF), pick-up, delay, and thermal
memory.
See Figure 11.2 for Long Time protection settings notes,
ranges, steps, and options.
Long Time (LT) protection is ON, unless the trip unit is
ordered with the “LT can be turned OFF” option.
Please note that the LT trip time is not a constant value, but
is a function of breaker current. For lower currents the trip
time is longer, and for higher currents the trip time is shorter.
See Figure 18.1 for Time Current Curve.
See Section 18.1 for LT Trip Times.
The AC-PRO-II trip unit has a thermal memory feature for
the following protective functions:
Long Time (LT) (set at Long Time screen)
Short Time (ST)
The thermal memory feature for LT and ST can be turned on
or off at the LT screen. See Figure 11.2.
Thermal memory for the GF function is always on and
cannot be turned off. The GF thermal memory feature
provides protection against “sputtering” ground faults.
Except for unusual conditions, it is recommended that
the thermal memory feature for LT and ST should be
turned on.
Cycling overloads that are not above the LT Pick-Up long
enough to cause a trip can still lead to thermal damage to
wiring and equipment. With thermal memory turned on, a
cycling overload can still produce a LT trip to protect cables
and equipment even if any individual overload event did not
persist long enough to directly cause a LT trip.
With thermal memory turned off, an overload that drops
below the LT Pick-Up wil l reset the LT trip register. If the
current goes above the LT Pick-Up again, the LT trip register
starts from zero.
The Short Time (ST) settings screen includes the following
settings: enabled (ON/OFF), pick-up, delay, and I

Instantaneous Override (I-OVRD): The AC-PRO-II is
configured at the factory with this feature either ON o r OFF.
If the feature is ON, a fixed Instantaneous pickup of 12 times
the CT rating is applied. In some applications, this feature is
enabled at the factory to protect the specific breaker this trip
unit is paired with. Additionally, this feature can be enabled
if requested at the time of order. Unless specified or
specifically required to protect the breaker, AC-PRO-II trip
units are normally configured with this feature OFF.
Instantaneous-on-Close (I-CLOS): The AC-PRO-II is
configured at the factory with this feature ON or OFF. If this
feature is ON, a fixed Instantaneous pickup of 12 times the
CT rating is applied for only the first 10 cycles (166ms for
60Hz, 200ms for 50Hz) after the trip unit is powered up.
Unless specified at the time of order, AC-PRO-II trip units
are normally configured with this feature ON.
Note: When AC-PRO-II is configured with a Voltage Divider
Module (VDM), the VDM will provide trip unit power when
the line side of the breaker is energized, even when the
breaker is open. If the trip unit is already powered by the
VDM, the I-CLOS feature does not apply.
Note: The AC-PRO-II uses a unique algorithm to determine
if RMS currents greater than 12 times the CT rating are
present, in which case the CTs may be saturated. The
AC-PRO-II then corrects the effect of CT saturation on the
LT and ST trip functions.
The AC-PRO-II features redundant Instantaneous protection.
The primary Instantaneous is an analog peak-detecting
circuit that directly trips the actuator, regardless of the state
of the microprocessor. The microprocessor provides digital
backup Instantaneous protection for the analog circuit.
The Ground Fault screen includes the following settings: GF
type, pick-up, delay, and slope.
GF type can be set to residual, ground return, or OFF)
The residual GF method calculates a vector sum of the three
phase currents (and neutral current if applicable) and
determines the fundamental frequency component.
The ground return method is used for applications where a
ground return CT directly measures the GF current, and the
AC-PRO-II calculates the fundamental value.
See Section 5.1.1 for typical wiring diagrams of the two
ground fault methods.

and options.
See Figure 18.2 for Ground Fault Time Current Curve.
On a 4-wire system, a neutral CT must be installed to
Due to possible CT saturation, RMS currents greater than
12 times the CT rating are not considered in the GF
protection calculations. The ST and/or Instantaneous
24VDC Aux Power is required for GF protection with

The NOL thermal memory feature operates the same as the
LT and ST thermal memory feature. See Section 11.10 for a
description.
Neutral Overload (NOL) protection cannot be enabled if
the Ground Fault (GF) type is set to ground return. This
is because with the ground return method, the neutral CT
input is used for GF protection and thus cannot be used

The QT- I function does not have an OFF setting. It is turned
ON or OFF using the QUICK-TRIP ON-OFF selector switch.
If the AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP switch module is not installed,
then this function is always off.

The Undervoltage (UV) function of the AC-PRO-II utilizes
Line-to-Neutral voltage and a definite time delay, to provide
three-phase UV protection.
The UnderVoltage (UV) function uses voltage magnitude
only, which provides “brownout” protection. “Brownouts” are
when system voltage is still present, but the voltages are
lower than the nominal system voltage. UnderVoltage
protection is not intended to be “Phase Loss” protection and
will not operate reliably in the event of a total phase loss, or
total system outage. This is because voltage can still be
present on the “lost” phase, from the “regenerated voltage”
or “back EMF” from 3-phase motors operating on a single
phase source.
Figure 11.3 for Undervoltage settings notes, ranges, steps,
and options.
The UV function is disabled under the following conditions:
- If a Secondary Injection Test set is connected.
- If the AC-PRO-II is on battery power only or USB power
only
- If (2) Phase currents are “LOW” and (1) Phase current is
not “LOW”.
- After a UV trip, repeated UV trips are blocked until current
is re-established.
For Undervoltage trips and alarms to occur, the following
conditions must be present:
1. At least (2) phase currents must be greater than 10%
of the CT rating.
The Undervoltage function will not operate in the event of
a total phase loss or total system outage. The

Sluggish Breaker setting on a recently serviced breaker with
a mechanism in good operating condition:
1. Perform primary Injection to initiate a ST or LT trip; or
use the SAFE-T-TRIP device to initiate a trip. If using
SAFE-T-TRIP on a breaker that does not have primary
current flowing through it, a 52a or 52b contact must be
wired to AC-PRO-II.
2. Use the trip history menu to review the recorded
breaker mechanism times of the trip initiated in step 1
above. The breaker mechanism times should be in the
20ms to 80ms range. The total trip time (different than
breaker mechanism time) should conform to the Time
Current Curve in Figure 18.1.
3. URC recommends setting the Sluggish Breaker time to
be 17ms great er t han the recorded mechanism time
from step 2.
See Figure 11.4 for Sluggish Breaker setting screen.
See Section 10.0 for additional information about the
Sluggish Breaker feature.
11.20 Configurable Alarm Relay Settings
The alarm relay configuration occurs via two alarm relay
settings screens, where the alarm relay can be set to
operate for any combination of events. If the setting is “ON”,
the relay will operate for that particular event/condition. See
Figure 11.4 for alarm relay settings options and notes.
Refer to Section 5.3.1 and Table 5-A for additional
information about the configurable alarm relay.
If a breaker position contact is wired to the AC-PRO-II, the
contact type is set at this screen. If the breaker contact is
open when the breaker is open, select 52a. If the breaker
contact is closed when the breaker is open, select 52b. If a
breaker contact is not wired into the trip unit, this setting
should be OFF. See Figure 11.4.
Note that this setting affects the Sluggish Breaker detection
method. See Section 10.0.
This setting only applies if the AC-PRO-II is installed
with the optional Voltage Divider Module (VDM).
The Overvoltage (OV) function of the AC-PRO-II utilizes
Line-to-Neutral voltage and a definite time delay, to provide
three-phase OV protection.
Figure 11.3 for OV settings notes, ranges, steps, and
options.
The OV function is disabled under the following condition:
- After an OV trip, repeated OV trips are blocked until current
is re-established.
Use caution when using the Overvoltage (OV) Trip
The Sluggish Breaker setting range is 20ms – 80ms. The
default setting is 33ms.
Once the last setting is entered, the “Save Settings?” screen
will appear. The save settings screen also provides a
reminder that if the “Save” button is pressed, the settings will
be saved, logged, and time stamped as a “Settings Change”.
The settings change time stamp is stored and available via
Modbus communications.
Pressing “Exit” will return to the Main screen.
Pressing “Back” will return to the previous setting screen.

The AC-PRO-II is capable of communicating over an RS485
network via Modbus RTU protocol. The RS485
communications screen includes the following settings:
Communications Enabled: Set to ON if RS485
communications is desired.
Address: Each trip unit that shares the same twisted pair
must have a unique address. The address identifies each
individual trip unit connected to the same twisted pair.
Note: two trip units can have the same Address as long as
they are not connected to the network via the same twisted
pair cable.
The address is selectable from 1 to 247, in increments of 1.
In most applications, only addresses 1 through 32 will be
used due to the limitations of RS485 communications.
Baud Rate should be selected to match the baud rate of the
master communicating device (i.e. PC, gateway, etc.).
Parity should be set to match the parity of the master
communicating device (i.e. PC, gateway, etc.).
Forced Trip: If enabled, this feature permits tripping of the
breaker via a forced trip command over RS485
communications.
Settings Change Over Communications: If enabled, this
feature permits the user to make settings changes via the
communications network. Otherwise, settings can only be
changed at the AC-PRO-II using the smart buttons or using
the local USB connection.
NOTE: The CT settings can only be changed at the
AC-PRO-II.
See Figure 11.6 for setting options and Section 24.0 for
additional Communications information.
The AC-PRO-II stores the trip data for the last 8 trip events.
The stored trip data includes the following:
1. Trip counts
2. Trip type (see Table 12-A for types)
3. Time stamp (date and time).
4. Trip number (1-8, assigned by trip unit)
(if trip is the “Last trip”, this will be identified on the

The AC-PRO-II uses multiple methods to determine trip
currents and voltages. However, some Instantaneous trips
may occur too rapidly for AC-PRO-II to report RMS trip
values. For these trips, AC-PRO-II will report “> Pickup
value” for the current values for all three phases.
See Figure 12.1 for the trip history screens navigation map.
During normal operation, the trip unit display screen will be
off and in its power saving mode. See Section 3.0 for trip
unit power information. When the “DISPLAY” button is
pressed during normal operation (no trips, errors, alarms,
etc), the trip unit will display current and line-to-neutral
voltage (if equipped with VDM) readings. The neut ral and
GF currents will only be displayed if neutral or GF protective
functions are turned on. See below. The “XXXX” digits will
display actual readings.

A "primary injection" test is recommended as the final test of
the AC-PRO-II retrofit.
If residual GF is used, it must be temporarily turned off when
testing the other trip functions.
Before proceeding with the normal primary injection tests,
the trip unit must be commissioned to make it functional. See
Section 11.0 for the commissioning procedure.
It is best to use the final pick-up and time delay settings if
they are known. If not, use typical settings for the primary
injection test.

If residual GF is used, make sure it is temporarily turned off.
To test the LT Pick-Up, increase the current until the “Pick-
Up” LED illuminates.
The injected current should correspond to the programmed
LT pick-up setting. Verify that the correct phase is indicated
on the display.
To tes t t he LT trip time, first calculate t he trip tim e based on
the value of the test current that will be applied. Use the
formula in Section 18.1 or the chart in Section 15.3.
A simple shortcut is to note that the trip time (center
of the curve) at 3 times the LT pick-up current is 4
times the LT Delay setting.
For example:
If LT Pick-Up is 1600A and Delay is 10.0S, then the
trip time at 4800A (3 times 1600A) is 40 sec. (4 times
If residual GF is used, make sure it is temporarily turned off.
To test the ST pick-up, temporarily set ST I
short pulse of current that is 10% or 20% less than the ST
pick-up setting. Continue applying short pulses of current
while increasing the current for each pulse until a ST trip
occurs. The first current where a ST trip occurred is the ST
pick-up.
To test the ST delay, turn ST I
apply a current that is at least 10% greater than the ST pickup current.
The trip time should fall within the time band shown on the
Time-Current-Curves.
To bypass Instantaneous-on-Close (I-CLOS) when
primary injection testing at high currents, power the
AC-PRO-II prior to applying current using USB
power via a laptop or a mini-USB wallpack. See
If residual GF is used, make sure it is temporarily turned off.
Test the Instantaneous pick-up and trip time in the same
manner as ST in Section 14.3.
If residual GF is used, make sure it is temporarily turned off.
If Ground Return GF is used, NOL cannot be used.
To perform a primary injection test of the NOL function,
temporarily shift the Phase C CT secondary wires to the
neutral CT input terminals on the AC-PRO-II. Connect a
laptop, PC, or USB wallpack to the front mini-USB port of the
display to power the trip unit. Primary injection into Phase C
will simulate neutral current. If this testing method is not
preferred, the NOL function can be tested using the
Secondary Injection Test Set. See Section 15.0.
Test the Neutral Overload Pick-up and trip time in the same
manner as LT in Section 14.2.
Refer to Neutral Overload formula in Section 18.4.
A simple shortcut is to note that the trip time (center
of the curve) at 3 times the NOL pick-up current is 4
times the NOL Delay setting.
For example:
If NOL Pick-Up is 2000A and Delay is 20.0S, then the
trip time at 6000A (3 times 2000A) is 80 sec. (4 times

be tested using the Secondary Injection Test Set. See
Section 15.0.
Test the GF pick-up and trip time in the same manner as ST
in Sec tion 14.3.
To tes t QT-GF the AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP switch module
must be connected to the trip unit as shown in Figure 7.1.
With QT -GF pick-up set to the required value and the
QUICK-TRIP selector switch turned to the on position, testing
any one of the three poles will provide a QT-GF tri p.
Test the QT-GF pick-up and trip time in the same manner as
the normal GF function.
Proper breaker CT polarity is always recommended, and is
required for residual GF and residual QUICK-TRIP GF
protection. Without proper CT polarity wiring, a nuisance GF
trip will probably occur. With the breaker in service on a
3-phase system, the last trip data with a reversed
polarity phase CT will show the GF current magnitude
as approximately two times the phase current of the CT
connected in reverse polarity.
Since primary injection testing normally tests only one phase
at a time, a breaker CT with reversed polarity will not be
detected with the normal tests. By using the following
method, a primary injection test set can be used to test for
proper CT polarity.

To test the UV trip or alarm function, a primary injection
current test set, a voltage source, and a timer is needed.
Since both a current test set and a voltage source will be
used, ensure the AC-PRO-II voltage connections are
isolated from the breaker poles by removing the fuses from
the fuse block that feeds the VDM (Voltage Divider Module).
Make the temporary testing connections shown in Figure
14.3. The voltage source can be 120VAC (voltage must be
at least 90VAC). Verify that the Phase A voltage is indicated
on the display. Reminder: voltage measurement and
settings are for Line-to-Neutral voltages (i.e. 277V is the
Line-Neutral voltage on a 480V 3-phase system).
The UV delay feature can be tested with a timer. The UV
function is “definite time”, so the delay remains the same
regardless of the severity of the undervoltage.
Figure 14.1: Phase A & B, CT Polarity Test
Figure 14.2: Phase B & C, CT Polarity Test
If a GF trip does occur, determine which CT has the
reversed polarity. Reverse the secondary connections at the
CT to correct the reversed polarity.
The breakers shown in the Figures above have the CTs on
the load side. Use exactly the same method if the CTs are
on the breaker line side or if they are staggered.
If a neutral CT is used, its polarity must match the polarity of
the breaker mounted CTs.
To tes t QT-I the AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP switch module
must be connected to the trip unit as shown in Figure 7.1.
With QT - I pick-up set to the required value and the
QUICK-TRIP selector switch turned to the on position, test all
three breaker poles in the same manner as the normal
Instantaneous function.

Undervoltage Test Notes:
1) In additi on to the voltage source, current m ust be above
10% of the CT rating on any two phases for a UV Trip or
Alarm to occur.
2) UV is disabled if a Secondary Inject i on Test Set is
connected.
3) Aft er a UV trip occurs, repeated UV tri ps are blocked
until current is re-established.
4) If a UV alarm occurs, it is latched and must be reset
using the display and push buttons.
5) Refer to Section 11.17 for additional Undervoltage
information.
The Undervoltage function will not operate in the event of
a total phase loss or total system outage. The
Undervoltage Test Procedure:
1) Set the AC-PRO-II UnderVoltage Trip or Alarm setting to
ON.
2) Apply 120VAC across t erminals A & B. (must be at least
90VAC)
3) Apply current greater than 10% of the CT rating on two
phases and start the timer.
NOTE: as soon as current is applied to any two phases,
the AC-PRO-II internal UV pickup timer will start since
the voltages applied to Phases B & C are both “Low”.
4) The UV trip or alarm should occur within +/- 0.25
seconds of the UV time delay setting.
To test the OV trip or alarm function, a primary or secondary
injection test set, a variable voltage s ource, and a timer is
needed.
Make the temporary connections shown in Figure 14.4. The
maximum voltage of the variable voltage test source should
be at least 10% above the programmed OV pick-up setting.
Verify that the Phase A voltage is indicated on the display.
Reminder: voltage measurement and settings are for Lineto-Neutral voltages (i.e. 277V is the Line-Neutral voltage on
a 480V 3-phase system).
The OV delay feature can be tested with a timer. The OV
function is definite time, so the delay remains the same
regardless of the severity of the overvoltage.
Figure 14.4: Overvoltage Test temporary
connections
Overvoltage Test Notes:
1) Aft er an OV trip or occurs, repeated OV trips are blocked
until current is re-established.
2) If an OV alarm occurs, it is latched and must be reset
using the display and push buttons.
Overvoltage Test Procedure:
1) Apply voltage at least 10% below the OV Pickup setting.
2) No OV trip should occur.
3) Increase the voltage to at least 10% above the OV
Pickup setting and start the timer.
4) An OV trip should occur within +/- 0.25 seconds of the
OV time delay setting.
Although primary injection testing is the preferred method to
test an AC-PRO-II installation, secondary injection testing
can also be used.
The B-292 secondary inection test set (with blue panel) can
test both the original AC-PRO and AC-PRO-II trip units. The
B-291 secondary injection test set (with red panel) canot test
the AC-PRO-II trip unit.

NOTE: Utility Relay Company can modify newer versions of
existing AC-PRO secondary injection test sets (with red
panel) to be compatible with AC-PRO-II trip units. Con ta c t
Utility Relay Company for details.
Most standard relay test sets can also be used to secondary
injection test the AC-PRO-II trip unit.
The following are required:
• 24VDC P ower Supply (URC Part #T-490-ASM) to power
up the AC-PRO-II trip unit so that it will accept current
• Relay test set with a 0 to 12 Amp range
• True RMS amm eter in the test set or externally
connected
• Method to st op the relay test set and test set timer when
the breaker trips
Test procedure:
1. Power up the AC-PRO-II trip unit with the USB power
supply so it will accept current
2. Temporarily turn off GF.
3. Connect the output leads from the relay test set to the
Phase “A” CT terminals (it is not necessary to disconnect
the CT)
4. Proceed with pick-up and time testing of Phase “A”
5. When finished, similarly test Phase “B” & “C”
6. Turn GF on (if desired) and test by injecting current on
any one of the Phases
The CT circuits are internally grounded to the AC-PRO-II
case. If any of the CT wires are externally grounded, the AC-PRO-II will not read curren t correctly.
Some relay test sets have a grounded current output .
To secondary injection test the AC-PRO-II trip unit with this
type of test set, the AC-PRO-II trip unit must be isolated
from the test set ground.

your AC-PRO-II, use the MORE menu. See Figure 6.5.
The InfoPro-AC application can be used to update
AC-PRO-II firmware in the field using the USB port.
AC-PRO-II Firmware update instructions can be found in the
InfoPro-AC Help Menu. For firmware version information
see the following link:
Creating a complete power monitoring and communications
system for a low voltage power distribution system is easy
with Utility Relay Company’s AC-PRO-II. The standard
AC-PRO-II trip unit communicates using industry standard
Modbus RTU protocol through a single shielded twisted pair
wire connected to the RS485 port. A number of trip units can
be daisy-chained together to simplify installation.
AC-PRO-II communications features and i nformation:
• Currents, 3-phase (±2% acc uracy for currents between
20% and 150% of the CT rating)
• Review and change all settings (“Changing settings
over Comm” user setting must be enabled at trip unit).
• Voltages, 3-phase
• KW, 3-phase & total (±5% accuracy for currents
between 10% and 150% of the CT rating)
• KWHr, total
• KVA, 3-phase & total
• KVAHr, total
• Power Factor data
• Breaker position status (open or closed)
• Trip unit alarms and status information
• Sluggish-Breaker indication
• QUICK-TRIP ON /OFF statu s
• Trip history data for the last 8 trips
o Trip counts
o Trip type (reason for trip)
o Trip dates & timestamps
o Trip currents & voltages
o Breaker clearing times
• Trip unit t ime and date
• Trip unit Information: serial number, firmware revision.
• Forced trip (“Forced trip over Comm” user setting must
be enabled at trip unit).
NOTE: Voltage Divider Module (VDM) is required for
A host PC running HMI software with Modbus device drivers
collects information from the trip units. The driver
interrogates each trip unit individually and reports that
information back to the host PC applications on a continual
basis. Additional trip units can be added to the system by
simply providing the new trip unit’s ADDRESS to the HMI
software.
AC-PRO-II trip units are compatible with the Modbus RTU
communication protocol supplied with most HMI systems
such as Inductive Automation’s Ignition, Wonderware’ s

Although all AC-PRO-II trip units are capable of
communications, units that are specifically ordered for
communications are furnished with quick-disconnect
communications cable assemblies. The cable assembly
features a heavy-duty twist-lock connector and a terminal
block, which mounts inside the switchgear.
The purpose of the terminal block is to provide a connection
location for the twisted pair wire as it is daisy-chained from
cell to cell in a switchgear lineup. This enables any individual
communicating AC-PRO-II (mounted on a circuit breaker) to
be removed without disrupting communications between the
other communicating AC-PRO-II trip units.
See Figure 5.3 for wiring diagram. If replacing an existing
AC-PRO with AC-PRO-II, remove the existi ng 2-piece
AC-PRO communications cable from the cubicle, and use
the new 2-piece cable shipped with the AC-PRO-II.
NOTE: The RS485 End of Line Termination switch should be
in the on position on the AC-PRO-II that is the last device in
the RS-485 loop. See Figure 4.1.
24.4 System Components & Computer
Hardware
URC trip units communicate over the RS485 interface at
9600 or 19200 Baud, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity
using the Modbus RTU communications protocol.
With the addition of an RS485 to Ethernet Converter an
existing Local Area Network (LAN) can be used to carry data
between trip units and the PC. Converters are widely
available from a variety of industrial computer
manufacturers.
RS485 to Ethernet Converters are designed to be
compatible with a TCP/IP network environment and typically
connect to a LAN using standard 10Base-T modular CAT-5
cabling. These converters offer a relatively inexpensive
means of connecting to a LAN.
The LCI (Local Communications Interface), manufactured by
Utility Relay Company, is a substation monitor that
continuously monitors up to 32 AC-PRO-II trip units that are
connected to the LCI’s RS485 port. The LCI offers three key
benefits:
1. The 4-line X 20-character display provides easy
monitoring of a critical power and trip data from any trip
unit connected to the RS485 port.
2. The built-in Ethernet port acts as a Modbus RTU to
Modbus Ethernet converter and easily connects to a
LAN with a simple CAT-5 cable. A unique IP address
for the LCI is user-programmable from the LCI’s front
panel.
3. Embedded Web Pages in the LCI provide critical
information across the LAN with no additional software
to install or setup. Information can be accessed by
typing the LCI’s IP address in the command line of any
standard web browser on the LAN.
NOTE: To ensure proper communication with AC-PRO-II,
jumper connector J6 must be removed from the LCI circuit
board. This jumper was removed at the factory for units that
shipped after March 2015. Contact URC for additional
details.
