WEG’s molded-case circuit breakers are
designed to provide circuit protection for low
voltage distribution systems. They are
described by NEMA as, “. . . a device
for closing and interrupting a circuit between
separable contacts under both normal and
abnormal conditions,” and further- more as,
“. . . a breaker assembled as an integral
unit in a supporting and enclosing housing of
insulating material.” The NEC® describes
them as, “A device designed to open and
close a circuit by non-automatic means, and
to open the circuit automatically on a
predetermined overload of current, without
injury to itself when properly applied within
its rating.”
So designed, WEG circuit breakers protect
conductors against overloads and conductors
and connected apparatus, such as motors
and motor starters, against short circuits.
Circuit Breaker Components and
Functions
Being essentially high interrupting capacity
switches with repetitive elements, WEG’s
circuit breakers are comprised of three main
functional components. These are:
1. Trip elements (thermal-magnetic or
electronic)
2. Operating mechanism
3. Arc extinguishers
1. Trip Elements
The function of the trip element is to trip the
operating mechanism in the event of a
prolonged overload or short-circuit current. To
accomplish this, a thermal- magnetic trip
action is provided.
Thermal-Magnetic Breakers
WEG thermal-magnetic breakers are general
purpose devices suitable for the majority of
breaker applications and are considered the
industry standard. Available from 15–800 A,
thermal-magnetic breakers provide accurate
reliable overload and short- circuit protection
for conductors and connected apparatus.
Thermal trip action is achieved through the
use of a bimetal heated by the load current.
On a sustained over- load, the bimetal will
deflect, causing the operating mechanism to
trip.
Because bimetals are responsive to the heat
emitted by the current flow, they allow a longtime delay on light overloads, yet they have a
fast response on heavier overloads.
Magnetic trip action is achieved through the
use of an electromagnet in series with the
load current. This provides an instantaneous
tripping action when the current reaches a
predetermined value. Front-adjustable
magnetic trip elements are supplied as
standard on 250 A frame circuit breakers and
above 225 are fixed thermal and magnetic
Electronic RMS Trip Breakers
WEG electronic trip breakers are generally
applied for applications where high levels of
system coordination are called for. Available
from 500–2500 A, today’s electronic trip
breakers can provide superior protection and
coordination as well as additional protection
features. Both the overload trip action and the
short-circuit trip action of breakers with
Digitrip electronic trip units are achieved by
the use of current transformers and solidstate circuitry that monitors the current and
initiates tripping through a flux shunt trip
when an overload or a short circuit is present.
All multiple-pole circuit breakers have trip
elements in each pole and a common trip bar.
An abnormal circuit condition in any one pole
will cause all poles to open simultaneously.
Electronic RMS trip breakers can include trip
features such as:
• Adjustable long-time pickup
• Adjustable short-time pickup
• Adjustable long delay time
• Adjustable short delay time
• Adjustable instantaneous pickup
Trip unit adjustments are made by setting
switches on the front of the trip unit or by
programming the trip unit electronically.
All electronic RMS trip breakers are equipped
with a manual push-to-trip mechanism.

2. Operating Mechanism
The function of the operating mechanism is to
provide a means of opening and closing the
breaker contacts. All mechanisms are of the
quick-make, quick-break type and are “trip
free.” “Trip free” mechanisms are designed
so that the contacts cannot be held closed
against an abnormal circuit condition and are
sometimes referred to as an “overcenter
toggle mechanism.” In addition to indicating
whether the breaker is “on” or “off,” the
operating mechanism handle indicates when
the breaker is “tripped” by moving to a
position midway between the extremes. This
distinct trip point is particularly advantageous
where breakers are grouped, as in
panelboard applications, because it clearly
indicates the faulty circuit. The operating
mechanism contains a positive on feature. In
the normal switching operation, the handle of
the circuit breaker will not be capable of
being left readily at or near the off position
when the main contacts are closed.
3. Arc Extinguishers
The function of the DE-ION® arc extinguisher
is to confine, divide
extinguish the arc drawn between opening
breaker contacts. It consists of specially
shaped steel grids isolated from each other
and supported by an insulating housing.
When the contacts are opened, the arc drawn
induces a magnetic field in the grids, which in
turn draws the arc from the contacts and into
the grids. The arc is thus split into a series of
smaller arcs and the heat generated is quickly
dissipated through the metal. These two
actions result in a rapid removal of ions from
the arc, which hastens dielectric build- up
between the contacts and results in
rapid extinction of the arc.

Catalog Types: NGS, NGH, NGC, NGU, GNS, GNH, GNC, and GNU circuit breakers, three- and four-pole
Trip Unit Type: 33 (LS), 35 (LSG)
Notes:
1. Curve accuracy applies from –20°C to +55°C ambient. For possible continuous ampere derating forambient above 40°C, refer to Eaton. Temperatures above +85°C cause an over-temperature protection
trip.
2. Application frequency is 50/60 Hz.
3. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the Long Delay. If the breaker trips on a Long Delay overload and is quickly reset, the memory capacitor will still have charge and a subsequent overload will cause the breaker to trip in a shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction isinverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset memory.
4. The right portion of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker.
5. The left portion of the curve is shown as a multiple of the Long Delay Setting. (Long Delay Pickup = 115% of Ir ). Range is 110–120%.
6. Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip unit, the breaker opening, and the interruption of the current.
7. The Short Delay Pickup has nine settings/positions, 2–8; the last two switch positions arethe same: 9X.
8. Short Delay I
2
T band has a tolerance of +15%.
9. Breakpoint back to FLAT response occurs @ 8x Ir for upper line of the I
2
T curve.
10. For high fault current levels, an additional fixed instantaneous hardware override is provided to trip thebreaker at 14400A. Instantaneous tolerance is +/- 20%. For the 1600A frame only, if Ir is set to the maximum (position H) and SDPU is set to the maximum (position 9), then the SDPU setting and the Instantaneous Override are set to the same value. The Instantaneous Override has precedence over SDPU. Therefore, the breaker will trip on Instantaneous Override.

section of the trip unit, will light. The lighted blue LED indicates that the lowest setting of the
Maintenance Mode is enabled. This setting corresponds to 2.5x of In. Turning the adjustable
switch on the trip unit has no affect on either the Maintenance Mode or the INST Mode settings
while the blue LED is lit. In addition to the blue colored LED, a relay contact (C, NO) is available.
The wires for this contact exit the left hand side of the breaker and are color coded as follows:
Blue = C, and Red = NO.
1. Curve accuracy applies from –20°C to +55°C ambient. For possible continuous ampere derating for
ambient above 40°C, refer to WEG. Temperatures above +85°C cause an over-temperature protection

2. Application frequency is 50/60 Hz.
3. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay. If the breaker trips on a long delay
overload and is quickly reset, the memory capacitor will still have charge, and a subsequent overload
will cause the breaker to trip in a shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is
inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five

Notes:
1. The Maintenance Mode feature must be ENABLED for these
curves to apply. The LED indicator is blue when in Maintenance
Mode.
2. The end of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the
circuit breaker.
3. Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip
unit, the breaker opening, and the interruption of the current.
4. Available pickup settings ( x I
1600A Frame: 2.5, 4, 6, 7, 8, 8, 11
2000A Frame: 2.5, 4, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9
5. These curves are comprehensive for the complete family of
Series G R-F rame electronic breakers, including all frame sizes,
2500
ratings, and constructions. The total clearing times shown are
conservative and consider the maximum response times of the trip
unit, the circuit breaker opening, and the interruption of the current
in worst case conditions such as: maximum rated voltages,
single-phase interruption, and minimum power factor. Faster
clearing times are possible depending on the specific system
conditions.
