Digitrip models 1150, 1150i, 1150+, and 
1150i+ trip units for use only in Magnum 
and Magnum DS circuit breakers
Instructional Leaflet IL70C1036H06
Effective October 2009
Section 1: General description of Digitrip
trip units
The DigitripE trip units are circuit breaker subsystems that provide
the protective functions of a circuit breaker. The trip unit is in a
removable sealed housing, installed in the circuit breaker, and can
be replaced in the field by the end user.
This document specifically covers the application of Digitrip trip
units, as illustrated in Figure 1, installed in Magnum and Magnum
DS breakers. Throughout this instructional leaflet, the use of the
term “Magnum Breakers” refers to both the Magnum and Magnum
DS low voltage, AC power circuit breakers.
The Magnum Digitrip line of trip units consists of the model 1150
that conforms to ULT standards, and model 1150i that conforms to
IEC standards. Throughout this instructional leaflet, the use of
the term Digitrip 1150 trip units refers to both models unless
otherwise stated.
The Digitrip 1150 trip units may be applied to either 50 or
60 Hz systems.
The Digitrip DT1150 family of trip units incorporates two
microprocessors in their design. One processor is devoted totally to
the task of current protection functions. This processor provides true
rms current sensing for the proper coordination with the thermal
characteristics of conductors and equipment. The Digitrip analyzes
the secondary current signals from the circuit breaker current
sensors and, when preset current levels and time delay settings are
exceeded, sends an initiating trip signal to the Trip Actuator of the
circuit breaker. The current sensors provide operating power to the
trip unit. As current begins to flow through the circuit breaker, the
sensors generate a secondary current that powers the trip unit.
The second microprocessor provides the voltage protection display,
communications, metering, harmonic calculations, alarming, and
auxiliary relay functions. These additional features require that
auxiliary power be provided to the circuit breaker.

Protection
Each Digitrip DT1150 trip unit is completely self-contained and
requires no external control power to operate its basic overcurrent
protection functions. It operates from current signal levels derived
through current sensors mounted in the circuit breaker. The types
of protection available for each model are shown in Table 1.
The Digitrip 1150 family of trip units provides five phase and two
ground (time-current) curve-shaping adjustments. To satisfy the
protection needs of any specific installation, the exact selection of
the available protection function is adjustable. The short delay and
ground fault adjustments include either a FLAT or I2t response. A
pictorial representation of the applicable time-current curves for the
selected protection functions is provided, for user reference, on the
face of the trip unit as shown in Figure 1.
NNote: The Digitrip 1150 (11LSI ,11PLSI style) and Digitrip 1150i (11IEC,
11PIEC) are the styles that can be used on three-pole or four-pole circuit
breakers for the protection of the neutral circuit. For a three-pole circuit
breaker, an external sensor of the same rating as the phase sensor needs
wired to the circuit breaker. Only these styles can provide neutral protection,
although all styles can provide neutral metering and alarming (one exception
is that there is no metering for source or zero sequence ground fault
8
eaton corporation www.eaton.com
application). These styles also have a protection setting called neutral ratio.
The 100% setting is the default and is used when phase and neutral
conductors are of the same ampacity. The 50% setting is for a half-sized
neutral conductor and essentually shifts the long time thermal curve to the
left, making it more sensitive. Refer to the National Electrical CodeT (NEC)
for the appropriate application for four‑pole circuit breakers.
Mode of trip and status information
On all DT1150 units, a green light emitting diode (LED), labeled
Status, blinks approximately once each second to indicate that the
trip unit is operating normally. This Status LED will blink at a faster
rate if the Digitrip is in a pickup, or overload, mode.
Red LEDs on the face of the 1150 family of trip units flash to
indicate the cause, or trip mode, for an automatic trip operation
(for example, ground fault, overload, or short circuit trip). A battery
in the Digitrip unit maintains the trip indication until the Reset button
is pushed. The battery is satisfactory if its LED lights green when
the Battery Test button is pushed (see Section 6).
NNote: The Digitrip 1150 family provides all protection functions regardless
of the status of the battery. The battery is only needed to maintain the
automatic trip indication on the mimic curve of the Digitrip when auxiliary
power is not available.

Trip unit/rating plug removal
Auxiliary power
To remove the rating plug from the trip unit, open the rating plug
door. Use a 1/8” (3 mm) wide screwdriver to loosen the M4 screw.
Pull the door to aid in releasing the rating plug from the unit.
When the module is wired and supplied with proper voltage, it
will provide an auxiliary power supply so that the DT 1150’s (LED)
display will be functional even when the circuit breaker has no load.
A Digitrip 1150 unit without auxiliary power will not provide voltage,
display any data, or communicate.
To remove the trip unit from the circuit breaker, deflect the top and
bottom spring clips to release the unit from the black mounting
platform. Pull the unit to disengage the trip unit’s printed circuit
board connectors J0 and I1 from the circuit breaker (see Figure 2
and Appendix C).
Wiring
The internal components of the circuit breaker and their connection
points to the secondary contacts are shown in the breaker master
connection diagram provided on page 42 as Appendix C.
Plexiglass cover
A clear, tamper-proof plexiglass door sits on the circuit breaker
cover. This door, if sealed, allows the settings to be viewed but
not changed, except by authorized personnel. The plexiglass cover
meets applicable tamper-proof requirements. The cover is held in
place by two cover screws. Security is ensured by the insertion of a
standard meter seal through the holes in both of the cover retention
screws. The plexiglass cover has an access cutout for the view
functions group of pushbuttons and the Battery Test pushbutton.
Digitrip 1150 Power/Relay Module
The Power/Relay Module (see Figure 4) is a standard device for the
Digitrip 1150 model. The module is installed on the molded platform
under the trip unit in the Magnum circuit breaker. There are four
style modules that cover the following input voltage ratings:
120 Vac, 230 Vac, 24–48 Vdc, and 125 Vdc (100–140 Vdc operating
range). The burden of the Power/Relay Module is 10 VA. Check
circuit breaker cover label marking for proper trip unit power and
voltage rating.
Alarm contacts
A second function of this module is to provide either a trip or alarm
output contact via the two customer-programmed relays within
the module. An assortment of relay functions can be assigned
to these relays. (See the Aux. Relay programming in Appendix
D and Appendix G.) Each relay is a normally open contact with
a programming identification of RELAY A and RELAY C. On the
Breaker Master Connection Diagram (Appendix C), these contacts
are labeled ATR_Alarm and ATR_latch. The ATR_latch is a latching
relay that will hold contact status even if auxiliary power is lost
to the circuit breaker. This relay does require auxiliary power for
resetting. The resetting of these relays requires depressing the
Reset pushbutton on the front panel of the Digitrip 1150.
Ground alarm
A ground fault alarm is one of many possible programmable alarms
and can provide an early warning of a ground fault condition in
progress via an alarm LED.
In addition, this unit can be programmed to energize an alarm relay
upon this condition. The alarm relay will reset automatically if the
ground current is less than the Ground Alarm Pickup setting.
On the LSIA style unit, a red Alarm Only LED (see Figure 18) will
indicate the presence of ground fault current, when it is in excess of
Ground Pickup setting. Ground tripping will not occur with the LSIA
style unit.
Block close relay
Also in this module is a relay that can block the remote closing of a
circuit breaker after a trip condition. This block function is enabled by
programming the Aux Relay B via the front panel or via PowerNetE
communication (see page 59). The block close function can be further
setup for AUTO or MANUAL reset via programming (11Pxxx only).
This trip condition requires a front panel reset to clear the block
close condition.
Standards
The Digitrip 1150 Trip Units are listed by Underwriters LaboratoriesT,
UL File E52096, for use in Magnum circuit breakers. These devices
were tested to the ANSI C37.13 breaker standard and ANSI C37.17
trip unit standard. Additionally, these same units are also evaluated
by the Canadian Standards AssociationT (CSA) under contract test
report 163545.
All Digitrip units have also passed the IEC 947-2 test program that
includes radiated and conducted emissions testing. As a result, all
units carry the CE mark.

Section 2: Description of Magnum
circuit breakers
m WARNING
General
Magnum circuit breakers are tripped automatically on overload
or fault current conditions by the combined action of three
components:
1. The sensors, which measure the current level and provide the
energy to trip.
2. The Digitrip trip unit, which provides a tripping signal to the trip
actuator when current and time delay settings are exceeded.
3. The low-energy trip actuator, which actually trips the
circuit breaker.
Figure 5 shows this tripping circuit for a typical Magnum circuit
breaker. This arrangement provides a very flexible system, covering
a wide range of tripping characteristics described by the time-current
curves referenced in Section 9.
The automatic overload and short circuit tripping characteristics for a
specific circuit breaker are determined by the ratings of the installed
current sensors with a matching rating plug and the selected
functional protection settings. Specific setting instructions are
provided in Section 4.
When the functional protection settings are exceeded, the Digitrip
unit supplies a trip signal to the trip actuator. As a result, all tripping
operations initiated by the protection functions of the Digitrip trip
unit are performed by its internal circuitry. There is no mechanical
or direct magnetic action between the primary current and the
mechanical tripping parts of the circuit breaker, thus external control
power is not required for overload or fault current tripping.

WHICH COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
OBSERVE POLARITY MARKINGS ON THE Trip Actuator LEADS AND
CONNECT THEM PROPERLY USING the INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED.
Low-energy trip actuator
The mechanical force required to initiate the tripping action of
a Magnum circuit breaker is provided by a special low-energy
trip actuator. The trip actuator is located under the black molded
platform on which the Digitrip unit is supported. The trip actuator
contains a permanent magnet assembly, moving and stationary
core assemblies, a spring and a coil. Nominal coil resistance is
24 ohms and the black lead is positive. The circuit breaker
mechanism assembly contains a mechanism-actuated reset lever
and a trip lever to actuate the tripping action of the circuit breaker.
When the trip actuator is reset by the operating mechanism, the
moving core assembly is held in readiness against the force of the
compressed spring by the permanent magnet. When a tripping
action is initiated, the low-energy trip actuator coil receives a tripping
pulse from the Digitrip unit. This pulse overcomes the holding effect
of the permanent magnet, and the moving core is released to trigger
the tripping operation via the trip lever.
Ground fault protection
Only the Digitrip 1150 Cat. No. 11LSIG,11PLSIG and Digitrip 1150i
Cat. No. 11IEC-EF, 11PIECEF provide ground fault protection.
General
When the Digitrip 1150 family includes ground fault protection
features, the distribution system characteristics (for example,
system grounding, number of sources, number and location of
ground points, and the like) must be considered along with the
manner and location in which the circuit breaker is applied to the
system. These elements are discussed on page 12.
The Digitrip 1150 family uses three modes of sensing to detect
ground fault currents: residual, source ground, and zero sequence
(see Table 5). The breaker secondary contact inputs B-6 and
B-7 are used to configure the trip unit. A jumper from B-6 to B-7
programs the trip unit for either a source ground or zero sequence
configuration. Removing the jumper will program the unit for a
residual ground fault scheme. This jumper resides on the stationary
side of the switchgear assembly. In all three schemes, the proper
current sensor input is required on the external sensor input
terminals B‑4, B-5 of the breaker secondary contacts.

1150i+ trip units for use only in Magnum 
and Magnum DS circuit breakers
Residual sensing—three-wire or four-wire
Zero sequence sensing
Residual sensing is the standard mode of ground fault sensing in
Magnum circuit breakers. This mode uses one current sensor on
each phase conductor and one on the neutral for a four-wire system
(shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7). If the system neutral is grounded,
and no phase to neutral loads are used (a three-wire system), the
Digitrip 1150 with ground includes all of the components necessary
for ground fault protection. This mode of sensing vectorially sums
the outputs of the three individual current sensors. For separately
mounted neutrals, as long as the vectorial sum is zero, then no
ground fault exists. The neutral sensor (for a four-wire system) must
have characteristics and a ratio that matches the three internally
mounted phase current sensors. Available types of neutral sensors
are shown in Figure 8. Residual ground fault sensing features are
adaptable to main and feeder circuit breaker applications.
Zero sequence sensing, also referred to as vectorial summation
(see Figure 12), is applicable to mains, feeders, and special
schemes involving zone protection. Zero sequence current
transformers (5.00 x 15.38 in [128 x 390 mm] rectangular inside
dimensions) are available with 100:1 (9253C07G01, G11) and 1000:1
ratios. The EXT GND CT RATIO setting described above is applicable
for zero sequence.
m CAUTION
IF THE SENSOR CONNECTIONS ARE INCORRECT, A nuisance trip
may OCCUR. ALWAYS OBSERVE THE POLARITY MARKINGS ON THE
INSTALLATION DRAWINGS. TO ENSURE CORRECT GROUND FAULT
EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE, CONDUCT FIELD TESTS TO COMPLY
WITH NEC REQUIREMENTS UNDER ARTICLE 230-95(C).
Source ground sensing
Depending upon the installation requirements, alternate ground
fault sensing schemes may be dictated (see Figure 10 and
Figure 11). The ground return method is usually applied when
ground fault protection is desired only on the main circuit breaker
in a simple radial system. This method is also applicable to doubleended systems where a midpoint grounding electrode is employed.
For this mode of sensing, a single current sensor mounted on
the equipment-bonding jumper directly measures the total ground
current flowing in the grounding electrode conductor and all other
equipment-grounding conductors.
In the CURRENT (protection) submenu, there is a setting (EXT
GND CT RATIO) that enables the presentation of ground pickup in

the plug (In) rating. With the correct ratio selected, the GF pickup
settings are adjustable in amperes.
Multiple source/multiple ground
A multiple source/multiple ground scheme is shown in Figure 13.
In this figure, a ground fault is shown that has two possible return
paths, via the neutral, back to its source. The three neutral sensors
are interconnected to sense and detect both ground fault and
neutral currents.
Ground fault settings
The adjustment of the ground fault functional settings and their
effect upon the ground fault time-current curve is discussed in
Section 4.
Current sensors for standard breaker
The three (three-pole) or four (four-pole) primary current sensors are
located in the circuit breaker on the lower conductors of the breaker.
The current sensor rating defines the circuit breaker rating (In).
For example, 2000A:1A sensors are used on a 2000A rated
circuit breaker. There are also four auxiliary current transformers
with a ratio of 10:1 that further step down the rated current to
100 milliamperes, which is equivalent to 100% (In) in the
Digitrip 1150.
The primary current sensors produce an output proportional to the
load current and furnish the Digitrip 1150 family with the information
and energy required to trip the circuit breaker when functional
protection settings are exceeded.
m WARNING
If a set of current sensors with a different ratio are
installed in the field, the rating plug must also be changed.
The associated rating plug must match the current sensor
rating specified on the plug label. The current sensor rating
can be viewed through openings in the back of the CIRCUIT
breaker. Also verify desired protection settings after these
components are changed.
Current sensors for double-wide circuit breakers
The six (three-pole) or eight (four-pole) current sensors installed
in the circuit breaker are located on the lower conductors. The
poles are paralleled and the corresponding current sensors are
also paralleled (see Figure 7). For example, a 4000A circuit breaker
phase rating has two 2000:1 current sensors wired in parallel, which
provides an overall ratio of 4000:2. The auxiliary current transformers
have a ratio of 20:1 in this size circuit breaker to further step down
the full load current to 100 mA.

Section 3: Principles of operation
Trip and operation indicators
General
The four Cause of Trip LEDs on the face of the trip unit, shown in
Figure 1 and Figure 16 to Figure 19, flash red to indicate the reason
for any automatic trip operation. Each LED is strategically located in
the related segment of the time-current curve depicted on the face
of the trip unit. The reason for the trip is identified by the segment
of the time-current curve where the LED is illuminated. Following
an automatic trip operation, the backup battery shown in Figure 15
continues to supply power to the LEDs. The LED pulse circuit, also
shown in Figure 15, is provided to reduce battery burden and will
flash the Trip LED approximately every four seconds. Therefore, it
is important to view the unit for at least five seconds to detect a
flashing trip indicator. Pushing the Reset button extinguishes
the LED.
The Digitrip 1150 family of trip units is designed for industrial circuit
breaker environments where the ambient temperatures can range
from –20°C to +85°C, but rarely exceed 70°C to 75°C. If, however,
ambient temperatures exceed this range, the trip unit performance
may be degraded. In order to ensure that the tripping function
is not compromised due to an overtemperature condition, the
Digitrip 1150 microcomputer chips have a built-in overtemperature
protection feature, factory set to trip the circuit breaker if the chip
temperature is excessive. If the unit trips on overtemperature,
the red Long Delay Time LED will flash and the OVER TEMP TRIP
message will appear on the display.
The Digitrip uses the Eaton custom-designed CHip™, an integrated
circuit that includes a microcomputer to perform its numeric and
logic functions. The principles of operation of the trip unit are shown
in Figure 15.
All sensing and tripping power required to operate the protection
function is derived from the current sensor secondary currents
whenever the circuit breaker is carrying current. These current
signals develop analog voltages across the current viewing resistors.
The resulting analog voltages are digitized by the CHip.
The microcomputer continually digitizes these signals. This data
is used to calculate true rms current values, which are then
continually compared with the protection function settings and
other operating data stored in the memory. The embedded software
then determines whether to initiate protection functions, including
tripping the circuit breaker through the trip actuator (TA).
Disconnect
Plug
PT
Module
NNote: A complete reset of the Digitrip 1150 requires the unit to be powered
(Status LED flashing) when depressing the Reset pushbutton. Otherwise, a
previous trip event may be indicated again by the LED.
Status/long pickup LED
The green Status LED will indicate the operational status of the
protection CHip A microprocessor of the trip unit. Even with no
external power present, if the load current through the circuit
breaker exceeds approximately 12% (three-phase power) of the
current sensor rating, the LED will flash on and off once each
second indicating that the trip unit is energized and operating
properly (see Figure 15).
In an overload (long pickup) condition this Status LED flashes at
approximately four times per second while the overload persists.
Alarm LED
In addition to the green Status LED, a yellow Alarm LED is provided
to indicate real-time alarm conditions existing on the power system.
See Appendix D-16 for the programing of these alarms. Also, if
an unusual condition is detected within the Digitrip’s hardwire or
firmware, this LED will light along with an alarm message.
Trip LED
The Trip LED is illuminated upon any trip condition. It is also a realtime display and incorporates the circuit breaker’s 52b auxiliary
switch (also called MCR switch) input for its logic. Pushing the
Reset pushbutton or closing the circuit breaker will clear this LED.
Making Current Release (MCR)
All Digitrip 1150 trip units have a making current release function.
This safety feature prevents the circuit breaker from being closed
and latched-in on a faulted circuit. This is a nonadjustable sensing
circuit. It is preset to trip at an instantaneous current numerically
equivalent to 25 x (In). (Note that currents of ~11 x (In) with
maximum asymmetry also reach this threshold.)
The making current release is enabled only for the first two cycles
following an initial circuit breaker closing operation. The making
current release will trip the circuit breaker instantaneously and flash
the Instantaneous LED as well as indicating “Making Current Trip”
on the display panel.

Zone interlocking
When zone interlocking is employed, a fault within the zone of
protection of the circuit breaker will cause the Digitrip 1150 to:
m CAUTION
IF ZONE INTERLOCKING IS NOT TO BE USED AND ONLY STANDARD TIMEDELAY COORDINATION IS INTENDED, jumper terminal B8 to B9 ON
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER SECONDARY CONNECTOR.
Zone selective interlocking (or zone interlocking) is available on
the Digitrip 1150 for the short delay and ground fault protection
functions (see Figure 15). The zone interlocking signal is wired via
a single set of wires labeled Zone In (Zin) and Zone Out (Zout) along
with a zone common wire. The zone selective interlocking function
combines the interlocking of short delay and ground fault. A Zone
Out signal is issued if the ground fault pickup is exceeded or if the
short delay pickup is exceeded or if the value of 2 x (Ir) is exceeded.
Zone selective interlocking provides the fastest possible tripping for
faults within the zone of protection of the circuit breaker and yet
also provides positive coordination among all circuit breakers in the
system (mains, ties, feeders, and downstream circuit breakers) to
limit a power outage to only the affected parts of the system.
•
Trip the affected circuit breaker immediately and, at the
same time
•
Issue a signal to upstream Digitrip units to restrain from tripping
immediately. The restraining signal causes the upstream circuit
breakers to follow their set coordination times, so that the service
is only locally disrupted while the fault is cleared in the shortest
time possible
For an example of how zone selective interlocking may be used, see
Appendix A of this Instructional Leaflet.
NNote: The provision for the zone selective interlocking function is standard on
Digitrip trip units for short time and ground fault (earth fault) functions. ANSI/
UL circuit breakers with Digitrip trip units require the appropriate jumper to
terminal B8 and B9 to be added on the circuit breaker if zone interlocking
coordination is not desired or during testing for the appropriate time delay
during short time or ground fault testing. For IEC circuit breakers with Digitrip
trip units, the zone interlocking function is not wired out to the circuit breaker
secondaries (i.e., zone functionality is not present in secondaries B7, B8, and
B9). The trip unit will always follow the programmed short time or ground
time setting. This is accomplished via a wiring harness internal to the circuit
breaker. For applications that require the zone interlocking function on IEC
circuit breakers with Digitrips, please contact your local Eaton representative
for appropriate instructions and kit to activate the zone interlocking function.

PT module
The PT (potential transformer) module (see Figure 14 and
Appendix C) is internally wired in the circuit breaker to the line
side circuit breaker terminals. It provides signal data to calculate
voltage, power, energy, and related data. The PT module is a
three-phase, three-wire input and three-wire output step-down
transformer with a wye to wye hookup.
The power (and energy) metering and protection is calculated with
the convention that power flow is from top to bottom through the
circuit breaker. This assumes the top side conductor to be the line
side. If the distribution system is such that the bottom side is the
hot side, the power values will indicate reverse power. This reading
can be an absolute value via programming. For circuit breakers built
before July 2006, this power reading was made an absolute value
by installing a jumper from B-3 to B-7 of the secondary contacts.
m CAUTION
A Dielectric Disconnect Plug located on the left side of the
CIRCUIT breaker is PROVIDED with this module and is TO BE
removed when dielectric testing of the CIRCUIT breaker is
conducted. Failure to remove plug when testing can result
in damage to trip unit and pt module.

General
Before placing any circuit breaker in operation, set each trip
unit protection setting to the values specified by the engineer
responsible for the installation. Each setting is programmed using
the front panel pushbuttons and Save when the desired settings
are selected. A few settings are interdependent (the LONG PU (Ir)
rating will indirectly affect the SHORT PU value). Therefore, always
verify these settings after programming by entering view
settings menu.
The installed rating plug must match the current sensors that
establish the maximum continuous current rating of the circuit
breaker (In). Instantaneous and ground current settings are defined
in multiples of (In).
To illustrate the effect of each protection setting, simulated timecurrent curves are pictured on the face of the trip unit. Should
an automatic trip occur (as a result of the current exceeding the
pre-selected value), the LED in the appropriate segment of the
simulated time-current curve will flash red, indicating the reason
for the trip.

A second curve selection is also possible for UL/ANSI styles. An
IEEE curve that accurately follows the Inverse-Time characteristic
equations can be selected (IEEE draft PC37.112-11/95). Curve
shapes of MODerately INVerse, VERY INVerse or EXTremely INVerse
are available under PHASE SLOPE. Each of these curve shapes have
a PICKUP and TimeDIAL selection to position the curve. The short
delay function is included as part of IEEE curve.
For the Digitrip 1150i, a second curve type is also possible for the
international styles. An IEC curve type that accurately follows the
IEC255 curve equations can be selected. The curve shapes of IEC-A
(normal inverse), IEC-B (very inverse), and IEC-C (extremely inverse)
are available under PHASE SLOPE. Each of these curve shapes have
a PICKUP and TimeDIAL selection to position the curve. The short

LONG PU setting
There are 13 available long delay settings as illustrated in Figure 23.
Each setting, called (Ir), is expressed as a multiple (ranging from 0.4
to 1.0) of the current (In).
NNote: (Ir) is also the basis for the short delay current setting (see Section 4).

Figure 24. Long Delay Time Settings
NNote: In addition to the standard Long Delay Protection element, the Digitrip
1150 trip units using LONG SLOPE settings of I2t or I4t also have a Long
Time Memory (LTM) function, which protects load circuits from the effects of
repeated overload conditions. If a circuit breaker is closed soon after a long
delay trip, and the current again exceeds the long delay setting, (Ir), the LTM
automatically reduces the time to trip to allow for the fact that the load circuit
temperature is already higher than normal because of the prior overload
condition. Each time the overload condition is repeated, the LTM causes the
circuit breaker to trip in a progressively shorter time. When the load current
returns to normal, the LTM begins to reset; after about ten minutes it will
have reset fully, so the next long delay trip time will again correspond to the
setting value.
NNote: In certain applications and field testing, it may be desirable to disable
the LTM function by disabling this function in program settings.
The action of the LTM must be considered when performing
multiple long delay time tests (see Section 5).

In addition to standard ground fault protection, the Digitrip 1150
trip unit also has a ground fault memory function that serves to
protect loads in the event of a sputtering arc to ground. Without this
function, the trip unit resets each time the arc sputters, and times
out all over again, so that a sputtering fault may not be detected.
With the ground fault memory function, the trip unit “remembers”
the sputtering ground current for up to 10 times the ground fault
time setting. After that time, it resets automatically. The ground
fault memory function resets quickly; on the 0.1 second setting, for
example, the function will reset in 1.0 second.

Amp unbalance
The amp unbalance trip function can be selected in the program
settings—program curve menu (see page 56). It is set to OFF
as a factory default. The pickup unbalance is adjustable from 5–25%.
Once selected, an associated time delay is adjustable from 0 to
240 seconds with initial factory default of 10 seconds. The setting
time tolerance is ±3% or ±0.3s (whichever is greater). A difference
between maximum phase and minimum phase higher than the amp
unbalance percent settings will cause the breaker to trip with an
AMPERES OUT OF BALANCE message and red trip LED illuminated
in the right corner of the Digitrip front panel. This function does
require external auxiliary power to the Digitrip unit. To avoid
unnecessary operation of this function, the circuit breaker must be
carrying 55% of the Ir rating on at least one phase before it will trip
via amp unbalance.
Phase loss (current based)
The phase loss trip function can be selected in the program
settings—program curve menu (see page 56). It is set to OFF
initially as a factory default. A time delay of 1 to 30 seconds can be
selected. If there exists a 75% difference between the maximum
phase and minimum phase currents and if maintained for the
selected time delay, the breaker will trip with a PHASE LOSS TRIP
message and red Trip LED illuminated in the right corner of the
Digitrip front panel. This function does require auxiliary power to the
Digitrip unit. To avoid unnecessary operation of this function, the
circuit breaker must be carrying 55% of the Ir rating on at least one
phase before it will trip via phase loss.
Voltage—frequency, reverse power
Refer to Table 4 for a tabulation of functions available versus the
catalog number. Voltage and frequency and reverse power tripping
and/or alarming can be set by entering the VOLTAGE menu under
the program setting main menu. Please refer to page 68 for the trip
settings available and page 60 for the alarm settings available. The
alarms can be mapped to Relay A and the trips to Relay B and Relay
C for desired relay contact action.
The voltage function (frequency and reverse power included) has a
master switch “voltage setting” (enabled/disabled) that can toggle
all voltage related trip and alarm settings. The individual selections
can, in addition, be enabled or disabled as desired.
NNote: When programming the voltage or frequency setting for trip or alarm,
there exists a setting interdependency feature that prevents the user from
making an “over-lapping” under and over value combination. When this
condition is encountered, change the value or disable the “opposite” setting
temporarily to achieve the desired setting.
Voltage, frequency protection
These functions, unlike the LSIG current protection functions,
do require a reliable source of auxiliary power available on
circuit breaker secondary contacts A-14, A-15. If the circuit
breaker is equipped with the 24–48 Vdc Power/Relay Module, the
(+) voltage input is terminal A-14. Refer to the breaker information
label for proper trip unit power voltage and see also Section 1 and
Appendix C.
The voltage is sensed on all three phases. Any phase-to-phase
voltage exceeding the specified setting will activate the protection
function. The voltage sensing points are the main conductors at the
top of the circuit breaker. This is the factory wired setup. A factory
option does exist to enable bottom end of circuit breaker sensing
of voltage.
NNote: Frequency is sensed on phase A voltage input. The frequency trip,
voltage trip, or alarm function will not be active if this voltage falls below 84V
phase to phase.

Voltage, frequency trip
Voltage and frequency protection trip functions, if enabled, are
active whenever the circuit breaker is closed. These trip functions
are made inactive after a trip or when the circuit breaker opens.
The function will be rearmed when the circuit breaker is reclosed.
Observe the cause of trip message after a trip event, then reset the
Digitrip by depressing the Reset pushbutton. At this time, observe
the real-time data of the parameter that initiated the trip to see if it
is still beyond the specified limit. Voltage and frequency data in the
meter menu is real-time data independent of whether the circuit
breaker is open or closed. Enter the EventLog menu and observe
the event that initiated the trip. When the parameter returns to
within its limits, reclose the circuit breaker if desired.
Voltage, frequency alarms
These alarms can be enabled by the user by entering the program
settings and then the alarms submenu. Alarms are real-time and
are active when the circuit breaker is in either the Open or Closed
state. If both a UV alarm and UV trip are enabled (for example), the
UV trips in some scenarios. They are not totally independent. When
tripped, a pushbutton Reset or Communication Reset will re-enable
the UV alarm if voltage has not yet returned. The Alarm LED will
light to indicate an alarm condition.
This alarm message also can occur if the system frequency set
point does not match the nominal power system frequency. If
this message is encountered, check or change the frequency
setting in the system menu. The FREQ display screen in the
meter submenu will display dashes, “- - - - -“, instead of a
numerical frequency.
The circuit breaker will not initiate a frequency related trip when
programmed to provide frequency tripping for frequencies out
of bounds. However, the alarm relay Relay A, if programmed for
frequency alarming, will operate during an out of bounds condition
as well as within the valid frequency range of operation.
The setting range for underfrequency or overfrequency tripping and
alarming is 48.0 to 52.0 Hz for a 50 Hz system and 58.0 to 62.0 Hz
for a 60 Hz system.
Table 6 includes two examples of the circuit breaker and
Relay A operation.
Voltage unbalance is adjustable from 5–50% in steps of 1%. A
difference between maximum phase and minimum phase higher
than the voltage unbalance setting, times minimum phase voltage,
will activate the function.
NNote: If an underfrequency or overfrequency trip or alarm is enabled, the
following restriction applies: Trip units used on 50 Hz systems have valid
frequency sensing range of 43 to 59 Hz. Trip units used on 60 Hz systems
have a valid frequency sensing range of 51 to 70 Hz. All trip units leave the
factory set for 60 Hz. For frequencies outside the applicable range, the unit
will display the alarm message “FREQ OUT OF BOUNDS.”

Voltage, frequency relays A,B,C
Remote master computer and BIM II
Relay A, a normally open contact, can be mapped to an alarm
condition, which can provide a real-time contact information of
these parameters: undervoltage, overvoltage, underfrequency,
overfrequency, and voltage unbalance. Each alarm setting does have
a separate time delay adjustment.
When desired, Digitrip 1150 trip units can communicate with both
a Breaker Interface Monitor (BIM II) and a remote master computer
(IBM PC compatible with Eaton CONI card or MINT) (see Figure 30).
The Phase rotation alarm can be set to ABC or CBA or OFF in the
alarm menu (see page 60). This setting if encountered in application
will generate an alarm condition. Phase rotation alarm can then
be mapped to this Relay A. With this contact, an interposing relay
with time delay can be employed to provide time delay and contact
arrangements to interface with the circuit breaker’s closing circuit
(spring release coil) to either prevent closing or to open the circuit
breaker (shunt trip coil). Relay B and Relay C can also be mapped
to the voltage or frequency TRIP. These include undervoltage,
overvoltage, underfrequency, overfrequency, and voltage unbalance
trip and reverse power trip. In addition, Relay B and Relay C
together will share a manual or auto reset selection. This is provided
in the SYSTEM menu and will provide means to reset the Relay B
and Relay C associated contacts. The default setting is MANUAL
reset. The resetting of these is accomplished via the Reset
pushbutton. The AUTO Reset setting will automatically reset these
two relays within five seconds after the trip event.
INCOM sends bursts of data on a 92–115.2 kHz carrier at rates up
to 9600 baud over twisted pair conductors to interconnect the many
devices comprising the network.
The phase rotation setting should be programmed in the
alarm menu to alarm when the Digitrip encounters this
Phase Rotation setting.
INCOM
INCOM programming (see page 55) allows for five different setting
options. These include address (001—FFE in hexadecimal form),
baud rate (9600 or 1200), and enabling or disabling external
communications trip (EXT COMM OpenTrip) and external
communications close (EXT COMM CLOSE). The latter two
settings will allow or disallow remote control of the circuit breaker
via the computer.
The fifth setting is the DT 910 COMM mode. When enabled,
the trip unit will adopt the Digitrip 910 communications protocol.
This means that while the trip unit continues to execute all
Digitrip 1150 functionality, the unit only transmits those messages
pertaining to the Digitrip 910 and will be identified as a 910 unit
to a communicating master device.
Assemblies Electronic Monitor (AEM II) and Breaker Interface
Monitor (BIM) and BIM II
An Assemblies Electronic Monitor (AEM II) can be applied in the
same assembly with the circuit breakers or at a location remote
from the circuit breakers to monitor the information from any
of the Digitrip 1150 trip units. The connections in the network
are made by twisted pairs of wires. The AEM must use the
Digitrip 910 communication setting. Its valid addresses are
001–050 decimal.
INCOM network interconnections
The Digitrip 1150 will light the red LED shown in Figure 1 when
transmitting on INCOM.
Recommended cable specifications:
•
Eaton cable catalog #IMPCABLE, Style #2A95705G01
•
Belden 9463 cable family
•
Identical Commscope or Quabbin cables
These bursts of data can be captured and used in a variety of ways
depending upon the manner in which the master computer software
program is written. For example, all the settings (protection and
alarm) can be programmed and viewed via the master computer.
Another example is that the data for the individual phase current
values are available on the network, but the software must select
the appropriate data, decode it and display it in a useful manner.
Following an overcurrent trip operation, the sequence of coded data
varies slightly. The cause of trip and the value and phase (or ground)
current responsible for the trip are available on the network.
Auxiliary relay
The programmable auxiliary relays in the Digitrip 1150 consist of
Relay A (alarming and tripping), Relay B (block close function), and
Relay C (latch relay). If at least one relay function is enabled, an
asterisk will appear beside the relay letter in the menu. More than
one relay function can be assigned to a physical relay except for the
pulse initiator selection. The selection of Relay A, B, or C results
in further selection of three “groups” of settings. Relay A, when
selected, gives the option to enable or disable the pulse initiator and
enable kVAh or kWh settings. When PULSE INITIATE is ENABLED,
all groups for Relay A are skipped. When DISABLED, Groups 1
and 2 may be programmed and saved for Relay A. Relays B and C
do not have a PULSE INITIATE option and are only programmable
for Groups 1 and 3. (See page 59 and Appendix G.)
Alarms
Alarm programming functions the same way as other options. Many
alarm settings exist. A listing of these options and their settings can
be found in page 60.
The selection of ALARM TO EventLOG setting will enable both
alarm events as well as trip events to be time-stamped and placed
in the three-position EventLOG.
The Breaker Interface Monitor (BIM) can also be used to monitor
the Digitrip 1150 trip unit. However, with BIM must also use
“Digitrip 910” setting of the Digitrip 1150 product.
The above two devices mentioned can receive minimum
communication from the Digitrip 1150 when set in the DT 910 mode
and is not recommended for new installations. The BIM II is the
preferred monitoring device to be used with the Digitrip 1150. Its
range of acceptable addresses are 001–032 hexadecimal.

Digital Relay Accessory Module
A Digital Relay Accessory Module is a separate device that is
programmed via the Digitrip 1150 via ACCBUS menu. Available
module addresses are 1–4. Each module has four Form C relay
contacts numbered one through four. Programmable relay functions
(RLY FUNC) for each relay include AUX, ALRM, BELL, DEAD,
WATCH, LDT, SDT, INST, GND, HLAlm, GFAlm, and OFF. (See
Appendix F for definitions of these settings.) These options may be
saved for any combination of relay functions and addresses. The
Digitrip 1150 acts as a master to its accessory bus network and will
light a green LED located in the upper right corner of the trip unit
when transmitting (see Figure 1 and also Appendix H).
The AUX function can be used as a circuit breaker auxiliary switch
in application. BELL will initiate on any “protection” trip and can
be used as a circuit breaker bell alarm trip function. The INST
function will drive the accessory relay when an instantaneous trip
is encountered. Similarly, LDT function will drive the relay on a
circuit breaker Long Time trip and SDT for a short time trip. The
GFT (ground fault) will operate the accessory relay on a ground trip.
High load alarm will activate with the HLAlm setting. GFAlm is for a
ground fault alarm function. ALRM (alarm) will drive the digital relay
in the same way as the assignments of Relay A. The one exception
is the accessory bus relay will not function as a Pulse Initiator. The
WATCH (watchdog) function, when programmed, can provide a
status monitor of the Digitrip 1150, energizing the programmed
relay and will drop out if an abnormal condition exists within the
Digitrip or if auxiliary power is low voltage. The DEAD (deadman)
26
eaton corporation www.eaton.com
function, when programmed, will pickup the relay if the module is
communicating properly with the Digitrip 1150. It will drop out if
the module is not communicating properly. This function should be
assigned to the last physical module in a wiring lineup to verify the
integrity of the wiring.
Accessory bus is not available on PROTECT firmware version 8A.00.
The settings of INST, SDT, LDT, GNDT GFAlm, and HLAlm will
require PROTECT firmware version 8A.05 or higher. Settings OV/UV,
OF/UF, RevPwr will require versions PROTECT 8A.09 and DISPLAY
8B.09 or greater.
TripLink
TripLink is a means of transferring settings from one circuit breaker
to another. TripLink transfers all protection settings and time and
date, and the circuit breaker’s circuit data. The transfer of these
settings may be useful for cloning a lineup of circuit breakers,
cloning a circuit breaker’s settings for replacing the circuit breaker
with its clone for maintenance purposes, or for making common
settings for a test program.
All INCOM settings including INCOM ADDRESS are transferred via
TripLink. An INCOM network does require a unique address so the
address may later have to be changed.
The procedure requires a TripLink cable to provide communication
between circuit breakers. The connector with the labeled end must
be plugged into the circuit breaker that will receive the settings. This
cable must be plugged into the Test Kit pins on the lower left-hand
corner on both circuit breakers and both units must be powered up
Digitrip models 1150, 1150i, 1150+, and 
1150i+ trip units for use only in Magnum 
and Magnum DS circuit breakers
for the setting transfer to be successful. If power is not available,
then use separate Auxiliary Power Module Cat. No. PRTAAPM
and energize the unit by plugging keyed connector into upper right
corner of the Digitrip 1150 (see Figure 1 and Figure 31).
NNote: A TripLink cable when installed will disconnect that unit from the
INCOM communication network.

This setting is to define the reset mode of Relay B and Relay C
of the Digitrip’s Power Relay Module. The selections are AUTO or
MANUAL reset (see Section 4).
1. Both units must be Digitrip 1150 and both must have the
same Catalog (cat.) number, plug ampere rating for a
successful transfer.
NNote: It is recommended that both the sending and receiving units be the
same firmware revision. Three cases exist:
a. Units with revision 0 are only compatible with other revision 0 units.
b.Units with revision 9 are only compatible with other revision 9 units.
c. When transferring settings having different firmware revisions will
transfer all the protection settings properly. However, the accessory
bus settings should be verified.
Sliding demand
A sliding demand calculation can be chosen for either the maximum
kW demand or the maximum kVA demand. If neither is required, the
user can choose OFF by pressing the up/down Edit Value keys.
Waveform capture
2. To send settings, the receiving circuit breaker must be in
open state and without line voltage on the circuit breaker’s
main terminals.
The waveform capture function can be enabled on a 1-, 5-, or
10-minute basis. It can also be disabled by selecting OFF with the
Edit Value keys. If the THD alarm setting has been enabled in the
Alarms menu, the waveform capture function will automatically
be set to one minute and the waveform capture OFF setting will
not be available.
Transfer procedure
View settings (VIEW SET)
NNote: It is important to realize that the transfer must be performed from
the RECEIVING circuit breaker (the circuit breaker with the white connector
marked “This unit to receive setpoints”).
The VIEW SET menu will allow the user to view all of the settings
presented in the PGM SET menus with the exception of the TripLink
function. The user cannot edit or change settings in these menus.
In the Program TripLink menu, if all preliminary requirements
are met, the Digitrip 1150 display on the receiving circuit breaker
will read “THIS UNIT TO RECEIVE.” Otherwise, an error message
will appear reading “TripLink CONFIG ERROR” and the display will
return to program settings menu.
If the circuit breakers meet the preliminary requirements, the
user will be prompted to “PRESS SAVE TO LEARN.” When Save
is pressed, settings will transfer and a “LOADING” message
will appear on the display screen. Transfer will be confirmed if
successful with a “TripLink TRANSFER COMPLETE” message.
Otherwise, “TripLink TRANSFER ERROR” will appear on the display.
Firmware menu
The firmware menu enables the user to view the version
and revision of the trip unit firmware. The protection firmware is
displayed as PROTECT while DISPLAY firmware can be viewed
by pressing the up/down View function keys.
In the event of TripLink Configuration Error, check all preliminary
requirements as well as the TripLink cable connections. Also
ensure that transfer is being initiated and performed on the
receiving circuit breaker.

1150i+ trip units for use only in Magnum 
and Magnum DS circuit breakers

Meter menu
Event log
The METER menu initially will show six screens of data via the
factory display setup. They are phase current, neutral and ground
currents (if supplied), phase voltages, forward power, power factor
and frequency, and energy values. However, the program
display menu can be used to present metered data relevant to a
specific customer application. There are 22 data screens selectable
as listed on page 45 and page 58.
The Digitrip 1150 trip unit has the ability to record the cause,
timestamp, and associated current or related data for a maximum
of three events. An event is defined as an alarm or trip condition
experienced by the circuit breaker. The user has the option to
record only trip function events or to record both trip and alarm
functions by manipulating the alarm to EventLOG set point located
in the Alarms programming menu. The event data is stored
in nonvolatile RAM and is maintained on a first-in, first-out basis. In
the case where the alarm to EventLOG setting is enabled, a new
alarm event will replace either historic trip or historic alarm condition
stored previously (see page 45).
The demand and the average, minimum and maximum current
screens alternate between the data and additional information
concerning the measured parameter. The minimum and maximum
phase currents are actually reset as a group (see page 45). The OP
COUNT screen displays circuit breaker operation where an open/
close is registered as one count. The OP COUNT can be reset also
when this screen is active.
Harmonic menu
The Digitrip 1150 HARMONIC menu provides capabilities to
calculate and display the total harmonic distortion (THD) for phase
currents IA, IB, and IC as well as IN if available. The term THD is
used to define the amount of harmonic current that the breaker is
seeing or the system is experiencing in percentage of the power
frequency current. This can be useful in troubleshooting to detect
individual circuit breaker current loads that could lead to system
problems and early equipment failure. The equation used for
calculating THD is:
Where Irms is the rms current of the waveform and I1 is the rms
current of the fundamental frequency.
For example, the THD calculation for a load having an equal rms
value of the fundamental and third harmonic current would have a
THD value of 100%. This would be a large value of THD and would
not be typical.
In addition to individually displaying the THD for the phase currents,
the Digitrip 1150 will also display the individual harmonic currents up
through the 27th harmonic.
Local operation on the Digitrip to observe this data is done using the
View Down pushbutton of the Digitrip.
By selecting HARMONIC from the main menu, a waveform capture
event and harmonic data calculation is accomplished locally. A
second way is to automatically generate waveform capture on a
1-minute, 5-minute, 10-minute, or OFF basis by selecting GENERAL
in the program settings submenu and scrolling to the
WAVEFORM CAPTURE option. The third way is to remotely trigger
the waveform capture via a PowerNet communication command.
For these three types of captures, the Digitrip 1150 will provide per
harmonic data. For trip events and alarm events, the per harmonic
analysis is not provided. PowerNet software screens are available to
show waveform capture oscillographs of each phase as well as bar
graphs of the magnitudes and individual harmonics that make up the
three-phase currents (see Section 4).
If less than 15% of the rating plug current is applied to the circuit
breaker, the trip unit will display three dashed lines (‘- - -’) for
the THD and Crest Factor values since these cannot accurately
be measured.

eaton corporation www.eaton.com
Power and energy parameters
Power has approximately a 1-second update rate and is shown as
forward or reverse power in kW units. The parameters kVA and kvar
are also updated in a similar time period. Demand kW is presented
as forward or reverse in kW units and is based on the last average
5-minute interval. Demand kVA is also based on the last average
5-minute interval. These parameters can be reset when this screen
is in view and the reset pushbutton action will start a new 5-minute
period. Programming alarms (kW or kVA) to exceed a threshold
value will produce an alarm. A timestamp is also provided if the
alarm to EventLOG setting is enabled.
Demand maximum kW and demand maximum kVA are peak
values that have been encountered since the last Reset of these
parameters. A pushbutton reset or INCOM Reset will start a
new 15-minute interval. As a factory default, both kW and kVA
demands are set for a “fixed” 15-minute window. The update rate
for the calculation is 15 minutes. A “Sliding” window calculation
is a possible setting that will calculate a continuous new demand
value and update the value if a new maximum is encountered every
minute. This SLIDING DEMAND setting is the first item in the
SYSTEM (or GENERAL) screen.
The Digitrip 1150 will display locally in kWh units of both forward
and reverse energy values. An additional energy parameter is kVAh.
The rollover energy value is 9,999,999 for both.
The auxiliary Relay A can be assigned to a pulse Initiator function for
either kVAh or kWh. When this feature is selected, Relay A will be
dedicated for pulse initiator and no other relay function is possible
for Relay A (see page 59). The pulse initiator provides a contact
change of state to an external counter device whenever a value is
exceeded. This pulse value is based on an ANSI document and is
expressed as the general equation:
Pulse Value
(kVA or kW)
= 0.000717 x In
(plug amperes)
Power quality
The Digitrip 1150 in a Magnum circuit breaker can measure a variety
of parameters relating to today’s modern power system. This data
can be viewed locally or via a computer remotely in which case the
data can be logged.
Power factor, THD and crest factor (CF)
The system power factor is a real-time measurement with
approximately a one second update rate. The tolerance is the value
± 0.02. Maximum PF and minimum PF values are historic values
that are held until reset.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) of each phase and neutral (if valid)
and corresponding per harmonic data up to the 27th harmonic
and crest factor are available via a waveform capture trigger.
This waveform capture trigger can be done locally by selecting
HARMONIC in the main menu or by exceeding a THD alarm
threshold programmed by the user. See Section 4.

Instructional Leaflet IL70C1036H06
Effective October 2009
Alarms
One-cycle waveform capture
Alarming on low power factor can be accomplished by enabling this
function in the ALARM programming screen. Any system power
factor seen by the Digitrip 1150 less than the level programmed
will initiate an alarm message on the 24-character display as well as
illuminating the yellow LED and communicating to a host computer.
The powerfactor calculation is valid for currents less than the Long
Delay Pickup level. The auxiliary Relay A can be also assigned to the
THD alarm.
There are two methods of obtaining a one-cycle waveform capture
from the Digitrip 1150. One method is via the PowerNet software to
manually request a waveform capture. The second way is to trigger
a waveform capture via an alarm condition. This is accomplished by
entering the PROGRAM—ALARM screen. Enable the ALARM type
of interest as well as ALARM TO EventLOG.
The THD alarm feature is an alarm setting with a range of 10–30%
THD that when exceeded will initiate waveform capture and also set
the front panel Alarm LED. The THD alarm has a 1-minute update
rate. The auxiliary Relay A can also be assigned to a THD alarm.
Waveform capture feature
The Digitrip 1150 can respond to a command from a remote master
to perform a waveform capture of phase currents IA, IB, and IC, as
well as waveform IN (on catalog LSI ) or waveform IG (on catalog
LSIG employing the source ground configuration). A total of 58
data points per phase per cycle is captured and can be sent to a
host computer. From this data, parameters such as THD, individual
harmonics content, and waveform are fabricated.
There is a timer in the Digitrip unit that will limit the acceptance of a
“WAVEFORM CAPTURE” software command to once per second.
Three waveforms are held in a first in, first out manner in the
Digitrip’s volatile memory.
Six-cycle waveform capture on trip
On long time, short time, instantaneous, or ground fault tripping
events, the Digitrip 1150 will capture the curve waveforms to a
buffer. The buffer as a waveform can be displayed on the master
computer using the PowerNet software screen (Ref. I.L.17384 for
protocol and software commands). The six-cycle waveform capture
will typically contain one cycle of pre-interruption data and five
cycles of interruption and post-interruption data for analysis of the
power system.
NNote: The phase loss, phase unbalance, voltage and frequency trips, reverse
power trips, and alarm events do not produce a waveform capture.
The one-cycle waveform capture of the currents IA, IB, IC, and
IN, if applicable, can then be displayed on the master computer
for analysis. IG waveform is not displayed for residual ground
application (see page 60).
Health (applicable only to Digitrip 1150+ Rev. E or higher)
The HEALTH menu on the Digitrip 1150 front panel will provide
information on the Magnum circuit breaker’s health as well as a
history of the circuit breaker and circuit it is protecting. This data is
useful for planning maintenance and inspection schedules.
The type of data includes the total number of all Instantaneous and
Short Delay trips seen by the circuit breaker.
A second counter shows the number of overloads (LDT) and ground
faults (GFT) encountered while in service. The OP count provides
data on the number of close operations experienced by the circuit
breaker. The internal test function will not increment the INST/SD or
the LDT/GFT counters, however, there will be count values in these
registers from the factory primary injection testing. Each of these
three values can be zeroed by depressing the reset pushbutton.
These counters will roll over at a value of 255. The operation counter
will roll over at 65,000.
The last time the circuit breaker was operated (open or closed or
tripped) is viewable with time and date displayed. Also included is
the maximum temperature in degrees centigrade as seen by the
Digitrip microprocessor CHip (for screen presentations, see page 69).
The capture of the data requires external trip unit power. This data,
once captured, is stored in nonvolatile memory.
These features are available to PowerNet communications using
Digitrip firmware Rev. F or higher.
NNote: Rev. F firmware permits maximum temperature to be reset.
NNote: PowerNet communications will require hardware and software
specified in the Eaton PowerNet operations manual and also the Digitrip 1150
Firmware must be DISPLAY Version 8B, Version 02 or greater and PROTECT
Version 8A, Revision 02 or greater (see page 48).

Section 5: Test procedures
Self testing
General
Prior to any self testing, the plexiglass cover will need to be
removed. The Digitrip 1150 provides means via the TEST selection
in the main menu to conduct phase current (PH) or ground
current (GND) (if applicable) type testing in either a TRIP or
NON-TRIP mode.
m WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL, TEST, OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON
EQUIPMENT WHILE IT IS ENERGIZED. DEATH OR SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT.
DE-ENERGIZE THE CIRCUIT AND DISCONNECT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE OR TESTS.
The self test function cannot be entered if an alarm is already
present. This alarm will need to be cleared before any self testing
can be conducted. The self test function will terminate if any of the
following conditions occur after the start of testing:
1. Any real phase current exceeds an alarm setting
m WARNING
ANY TRIPPING OPERATION WILL CAUSE DISRUPTION OF SERVICE
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, RESULTING IN THE UNNECESSARY
SWITCHING OF CONNECTED EQUIPMENT.
m CAUTION
TESTING A CIRCUIT BREAKER WHILE IT IS IN-SERVICE AND CARRYING
LOAD CURRENT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
TESTING OF A CIRCUIT BREAKER THAT RESULTS IN THE TRIPPING OF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER SHOULD BE DONE ONLY WITH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
IN THE TEST OR DISCONNECTED CELL POSITIONS OR WHILE THE CIRCUIT
BREAKER IS ON A TEST BENCH.
When to test
Testing prior to startup can best be accomplished with the
circuit breaker out of its cell or in the test, disconnected, or
withdrawn (or removed) cell positions.
NNote: Since time-current settings are based on desired system coordination
and protection schemes, the protection settings selected and preset in
accordance with Section 4 should be reset to their as-found conditions if
altered during any routine test sequence.
Enter the test menu and using the Edit Up/Down pushbuttons, set
the desired test current level. A test level chosen above a setting
will cause a pickup/trip condition. If a pickup is not exceeded,
the unit will remain in a “testing” mode for three hours or until
interrupted by a real event or user pushbutton activity. (See page 65
for pushbutton sequence to conduct the testing. Press Save twice
to initiate the test.) To conduct this testing as well as viewing setting
(if applicable), a small Auxiliary Power Module, Cat. No. PRTAAPM,
is available for these functions. This module is an intermittent duty
device that is powered via 120 Vac, 50/60 Hz and will plug into the
upper right corner of the product see Figure 1).
When performing a trip unit self test in TRIP mode, tripping of the
circuit breaker and activation of the associated alarm or accessory
bus relays can occur. This is important to consider before initiating
a test, since a circuit breaker or relay action can initiate other
equipment responses in the system even if the circuit breaker is
in test position of a switchgear cell. The one exception to this is
the ground trip self test function of the LSIA style unit. A ground
trip test will not actually trip the circuit breaker but will only provide
alarm display information and alarm relay operation (if enabled).
In the Non-Trip mode of self test, the circuit breaker trip function
and any associated relay will not operate when test alarm or test
trips occur. The front panel indicating LED will light as well as display
alarm/trip cause and trip time information.

2. Any real ground current exceeds 0.1 per unit.
3. If real phase current exceeds 1 x (Ir) while conducting
a non-trip test.
4. If real phase current exceeds 0.5 x (Ir) while conducting
a trip test.
Functional field testing
m CAUTION
PERFORMING TESTS WITHOUT THE eaton APPROVED TEST KIT MAY
DAMAGE THE DIGITRIP UNIT.
Use the test receptacle to verify a functional load test of a major
portion of the electronic circuitry of the Digitrip and the mechanical
trip assembly of the circuit breaker. The testing can determine the
accuracy of the desired trip settings by performing Long Delay, Short
Delay, and Ground Fault functional tests. The Eaton approved test kit
is listed below.

along with the Magnum test kit adapter 8779C02G04, can be used
to test the trip unit and circuit breaker.
Performance testing for ground fault trip units
Code requirements
The NEC, under Article 230-95-C, requires that any ground fault
protection system be performance tested when first installed.
Conduct tests in accordance with the approved instructions provided
with the equipment. Make a written record of this test and make the
results available to the authority having inspection jurisdiction.

Verify the grounding points of the system using high voltage testers
and resistance bridges to ensure that ground paths do not exist that
could bypass the sensors.
Use a low voltage (0–24V), high-current, ac source to apply a test
current of 125% of the Digitrip unit ground pickup setting through
one phase of the circuit breaker. This should cause the circuit
breaker to trip in less than 1 second and operate the alarm indicator.
Reset the Digitrip and then reclose the circuit breaker. Repeat the
test on the other two phases (see Figure 33).
Apply the same current as described above through one phase of
the circuit breaker, returning through the neutral sensor. The circuit
breaker should not trip, and the alarm indicator should not operate.
Repeat the test on the other two phases.

Section 7: Frame ratings (sensor ratings
and rating plugs)
The frame rating of a circuit breaker is the maximum rms current it
can continuously carry. The maximum short-circuit current rating of
the circuit breaker is usually related to the frame rating as well.
A current value, (In), that is less than the full frame rating may
be chosen to be the basis for the coordination of the protection
function of the circuit breaker without affecting its short-circuit
current capability. For the Digitrip 1150, this is implemented by
changing the current sensors and the corresponding rating plug.
These sensors and rating plugs are available in kit form.
The current sensor rating is the maximum current the circuit breaker
can carry with the specified current sensors installed. The sensor
rating can be the same or less than the frame rating, but not greater.
This value, (In), is the basis for the trip unit current settings:
1. The Instantaneous and Ground current settings (if provided) are
multiples of (In) (see Section 4).
2. The Long Delay Current setting, (Ir), is a fractional multiple of (In):
Long Delay Current setting = (Ir) = LD x (In) (see Section 4).
3. The Short Delay Current setting is a multiple of (Ir): Short Delay
Current setting = SD x (Ir) = SD x [LD x (In)] (see Section 4).
m CAUTION
BEFORE YOU FIT THE RATING PLUG INTO THE TRIP UNIT, BE SURE TO
CHECK THAT THE SENSOR RATING MATCHES THAT PRINTED ON THE
RATING PLUG DOOR. INSTALLING A RATING PLUG THAT DOES NOT MATCH
THE SENSOR RATING CAN PRODUCE SERIOUS MISCOORDINATION AND/
OR FAILURE OF THE PROTECTION SYSTEM.
NNote: Rating plugs from Digitrip models 210, 500, or 510 CANNOT be used
with Digitrip 1150 units.
After replacing battery,
properly dispose.

Maintenance Mode
Digitrip models 1150, 1150i, 1150+, and 
1150i+ trip units for use only in Magnum 
and Magnum DS circuit breakers
Maintenance Mode settings
The Maintenance Mode settings provide the Arc Flash Reduction
setting. 2.5 x Rating Plug Value is the maximum reduction setting,
which correlates to the lowest pickup value.
Available trip current of Maintenance Mode settings:
2.5 x Rating Plug Amperes
4.0 x Rating Plug Amperes
6.0 x Rating Plug Amperes
8.0 x Rating Plug Amperes
10.0 x Rating Plug Amperes
Arming Maintenance Mode
There are three ways to arm the Maintenance Mode Arc Flash
Reduction setting. One method is via the local keypad located on
the trip unit. The setting is located in the “system” submenu of
programmable settings (PGM SET). When the Mainternance Mode
Arc Flash reduction setting is enabled, the message “Maintenance
Mode Enabled” is displayed to confirm that the function is on. If any
key is pressed, the Maintenance Mode message is removed and
replaced by normal display messages. If no keys are pressed, the
Maintenance Mode message will reappear after 10 seconds.

m WARNING
ONLY CERTIFIED AND COMPETeNT PERSONNEL SHOULD ATTEMPT
TO INSTALL OR MAINTAIN POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS EQUIPMENT.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON
EQUIPMENT WHILE IT IS ENERGIZED. DEATH OR SEVERE Personal
INJURY CAN RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT.
ALWAYS VERIFY THAT NO VOLTAGE IS PRESENT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY PROCEDURES. EaTON IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE
MISAPPLICATION OR MISINSTALLATION OF ITS PRODUCTS.
For the second method, a remote switch wired through the breaker
secondary contacts can remotely arm the Maintenace Mode setting.
A high quality, gold plated or palladium contact is required in this
application. The Maintenance Mode Enabled message will verify
that the function is armed. (See wiring diagram Figure 42.)
A third method to arm the Maintenance Mode setting is via a
communication device. A Palm Pilot along with an IR Mint device
can be employed to arm the setting. By initiating the ENABLE
setting, the Maintenance Mode selection in the control screen of
the Palm, Maintenance Mode is set. There is a confirmation screen
that verifies the arming. A BIM (Breaker Interface Module) is another
communcation method to arm the setting. When Maintenance
Mode setting is enabled via device communications, this setting
must be disabled by device communications.
General
Per the above WARNING, it is highly recommended that
maintenance be conducted on electrical equipment including
circuit breakers with the system de-energized.
For situations that arise where this is not possible, the Maintenance
Mode function of the Digitrip 1150ARM family (Cat. 11ARMLSI,
11ARMLSIG, 11ARMLSIA, 11ARMIEC, 11ARMIECEF) can reduce
arc flash incident energy that is generated on a fault condition.
This is accomplished by an analog trip circuit which, when armed,
provides a fast acting response to the fault. The reduced arc
condition will occur only in devices downstream of the trip unit
in Maintenance Mode. This is separate from the normal system
protection setting of Instantaneous. The Maintenance Mode is
located in the “SYSTEM” submenu of the programmable settings
menu (PGM SET). (See Appendix for screen details.)
m CAUTION
OBSERVE ALL RECOMMENDATIONS, NOTES, CAUTIONS, AND WARNINGS
RELATING TO THE SAFETY OF PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. OBSERVE
AND COMPLY WITH ALL GENERAL AND LOCAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
LAWS, CODES, AND PROCEDURES. A flash hazard analysis
should be done to determine personal protective
equipment requirements.

In general, the selection of one of the Reduction Settings should be
determined and selected by a person who is experienced in power
system analysis.
Remote indicator
Circuit breakers built after July 2006 will be wired with secondary
contacts A12 which is reassigned to Maintenance Mode Enable
(MM_E)—(see label on secondary contacts). A normally open
contact (A10, A11) is available for customer use via programming
of Relay A. This contact can be used to indicate remotely that the
Maintenance Mode setting is armed. Refer to diagram below for a
wiring of this remote (blue light) indicator.
This setting choice normally does not change unless there are future
system modifications that could increase or decrease fault levels at
the circuit breaker location.
For time/current curve information, refer to curve #70C1498.
Tripping and testing
Choosing the reduction setting
The Maintenance Mode function will provide fast tripping even
when the regular Instantaneous is set to OFF. The Instantaneous
LED position is also used to indicate a trip initiated by the
Maintenance Mode setting. The Maintenance Mode Trip message
will be displayed after a trip.
The Arcflash Reduction Maintenance System switch has five
unique settings. From the factory, the Magnum circuit breaker is
shipped with the Digitrip unit set to the 2.5x setting and with its
Maintenance Mode disabled. The Maintenance Mode Enabled
message provides an indication that the Maintenance Mode setting
is armed per one of the three methods described on page 36.

a The Digitrip 1150 (Cat. #11ARMxxx) can locally be placed in Maintenance Mode via front panel programming of the trip unit. The function can also be armed via a remote switch as shown.
In addition, the function can be activated via communications. The display will indicate “Maintenance Mode in Use” when in this special mode.
b The recommended selector switch for this low voltage application is Eaton part number 10250T1333-2E, which includes a contact block rated for logic level and corrosive use.
c The maximum length of this wiring to the remote Arcflash Reduction Maintenance System switch (or alternate relay contact) is 9.78 feet (3m). Use #20 AWG wire or larger.
d Control voltage is 120 Vac or 230 Vac or 24–48 Vdc or 125 Vdc as ordered. Check Magnum circuit breaker front cover for trip unit power requirements.
e A remote stack light, annunciator panel or other remote indication device can be connected to remotely verify that the Digitrip is in Maintenance Mode.
f Relay A contact changes state when Digitrip is in Maintenance Mode. This action requires pre-assigning Relay A to Maintenance Mode function. Relay C contacts (A9, A10) are also available to
be programmed to provide an indication of a trip in Maintenance Mode. Contact is rated 1A at 120 Vac or 0.5A at 230 Vac or 1A at 24–48 Vdc or 0.35A at 125 Vdc.
g The Digitrip 1150 can also be placed remotely in its Maintenance Mode via a general purpose relay (ice cube type with logic level contacts) activated by a remote control switch. A recommended
type is IDEC Relay Ry22. Choose voltage as desired.

Appendix A: Zone interlocking examples
Example 2: There is zone selective interlocking.
Assume a ground fault of 2000A occurs and refer to Figure 43.
m NOTICE
THE PROVISION FOR ZONE INTERLOCKING IS STANDARD ON CIRCUIT
BREAKERS WITH DIGITRIP TRIP UNITS FOR SHORT TIME AND GROUND
FAULT FUNCTIONS. THE APPROPRIATE JUMPER TO TERMINAL B8 AND B9
MUST BE ADDED ON THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IF ZONE INTERLOCKING IS
NOT DESIRED OR IF FIELD TESTING IS DESIRED.
NNote: The provision for the zone selective interlocking function is standard on
Digitrip trip units for short time and ground fault (earth fault) functions. ANSI/
UL circuit breakers with Digitrip trip units require the appropriate jumper to
terminal B8 and B9 to be added on the circuit breaker if zone interlocking
coordination is not desired or during testing for the appropriate time delay
during short time or ground fault testing. For IEC circuit breakers with Digitrip
trip units, the zone interlocking function is not wired out to the circuit breaker
secondaries (i.e., zone functionality is not present in secondaries B7, B8, and
B9). The trip unit will always follow the programmed short time or ground
time setting. This is accomplished via a wiring harness internal to the circuit
breaker. For applications that require the zone interlocking function on IEC
circuit breakers with Digitrips, please contact your local Eaton representative
for appropriate instructions and kit to activate the zone interlocking function.
Example 1: There is no zone selective interlocking. (Standard
time delay coordination is used.)
Assume that a ground fault of 2000A occurs and refer to Figure 43.
Fault at location 3
The branch circuit breaker will trip, clearing the fault in 0.1 seconds.
Fault at location 2
The feeder circuit breaker will trip, clearing the fault in 0.3 seconds.
Fault at location 3
The branch circuit breaker trip unit will initiate the trip in 0.045
seconds to clear the fault and the branch will send a restraint signal
to the feeder trip unit; the feeder will send a restraint interlocking
signal to Z1.
Main and feeder trip units will begin to time out and, in the event
that the branch circuit breaker does not clear the fault, the feeder
circuit breaker will clear the fault in 0.3 seconds (as above). Similarly,
in the event that the feeder circuit breaker does not clear the fault,
the main circuit breaker will clear the fault in 0.5 seconds (as above).
Fault at location 2
The feeder circuit breaker trip unit will initiate the trip in
0.045 seconds to clear the fault and will send an interlocking
signal to the main trip unit. The main trip unit will begin
to time out and, in the event that the feeder circuit breaker
Z2 does not clear the fault, the main circuit breaker will
clear the fault in 0.5 seconds (as above).
Fault at location 1
There are no interlocking signals. The main circuit breaker
trip unit will initiate the trip in 0.045 seconds.
Figure 44 presents a zone selective interlocking connection diagram
for a system with two main circuit breakers from incoming sources
and a bus tie circuit breaker.
NNote: The blocking diode D1 is needed so that the feeder circuit breakers
can send interlocking signals to both the main and the tie circuit breakers and
prevent the tie breaker from sending an interlocking signal to itself.
Fault at location 1
The main circuit breaker will trip, clearing the fault in 0.5 seconds.

Notes:
1. Three-wire crimp if High Instataneous Trip Module is supplied.
2. All auxiliary switch contacts shown with breaker in open position and with trip unit in "nontripped" state (OTS switches).
3. The "SR" device has additional circuitry that provides a 0.5-second signal pulse for closing
operation. Power must be removed and then reapplied for a subsequent operation.
4. To provide selected time delays for short time and/or ground time functions for testing or
non-zone interlocking applications, a jumper from B-8 to B-9 is required.
5. On three-pole breakers only, having ground fault functionality, a jumper installed from B-6 to
B-7 will enable source ground fault sensing and disable residual ground fault sensing. Inputs
B-4 and B-5 will be reassigned for source ground sensor inputs.
6. Normally open contact programmed as Relay A, via Digitrip front panel.
7. Normally closed contact programmed as Relay B, via Digitrip front panel.
8. Normally open contact programmed as Relay C, via Digitrip front panel.
9. Jumpering B-3 (npow) to B-7 terminal will eliminate reverse power condition.
10. Jumpering B-6 to B-7 will defeat residual ground fault element (for testing purposes only).

Event Log Menu
When a trip event occurs, data from the appropriate Meter menu screens is captured and then
logged for that event. The event numbering scheme is a first-in, first-out type. However, always use
the Time Stamp data provided and not the Event # as a chronicle.
An alarm event will be logged if “ALARM TO EventLOG” has been ENABLED (page 60).
In cases where Trip Unit Power (aux. power) is lost during or prior to a tripping event, the Time
Stamp message will display “No EventLog.”

Appendix I: Modbus translator wiring
The Digitrip 1150 in a Magnum circuit breaker can communicate
its data using Modbus RTU protocol by employing a mMINT device
to act as a translator from INCOM communication to Modbus
communications. A Modbus master device is shown wired to gather
data and can provide control logic to open and close circuit breakers.
INCOM network uses a 3-pin. The RS-485 Modbus uses a 4-pin
connector that consists of signals A, B, COMmon, and SHielD.
Three baud rates of 1200, 9600, or 19200 are selectable via
programming switch for the Modbus network. The INCOM baud
rate is fixed at 9600 baud.
The mMINT Module Cat. No. mMINT uses DIN rail mounting.
Connector types are plug-in-Phoenix. Power is 5-pin.
