MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 1. Introduction

1-1 Read This First

The MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip

PM™ Trip Units described in this publication are used on Power Break® and Power Break® II insulated-case circuit breakers, Type AKR low-voltage power circuit breakers, R-Frame molded-case circuit breakers, and low-voltage power circuit breaker conversion kits.

Spectra RMS™ molded-case circuit breakers use different versions of MicroVersaTrip Plus and

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units that are not interchangeable with the units described here. Refer to GEH-5934 for information on these Trip Units.

1-2 Product Structure

MicroVersaTrip Trip Units come in two different sizes that are not interchangeable. The larger Trip

Unit (series RMS9C) is used on Power Break circuit breakers, Type AKR circuit breakers, and conversion kits. The smaller Trip Unit (series RMS9D) is used only on Power Break II circuit breakers. Each of the two sizes is available in both MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM configurations. The front views of the MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units are shown in Figures 1 (RMS9C) and 2 (RMS9D).

The RMS9C Trip Unit has a 36-pin rear connector, while the RMS9D Trip Unit has a 50-pin rear connector, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. These connectors provide the Trip Units’ main connections to the circuit breaker frame and to the equipment control signals.

Both types of Trip Unit have recessed connectors in the front panel to accept interchangeable current rating plugs.

Both types of Trip Unit have a top-mounted 20-pin connector that provides future access to the optional

Remote Display accessory. ( Note: this accessory is not normally used with a Power Break II circuit breaker.)

This connector has a removable cover to protect it when not in use.

Series RMS9D Trip Units also have a 6-position DIP switch, not present on series RMS9C Trip Units, that is used to configure the Power Break II integrated accessories. This switch is located on the rear of the unit.

1-4 Trip Unit Catalog Numbers

A simple catalog-numbering system defines all of the standard and optional Trip Unit functions for each of the two series of Trip Units. Catalog number keys are found in Appendix 1 for AKR breakers,

Appendix 2 for RMS9C Trip Units in Power Break® breakers, and in Appendix 3 for RMS9D Trip Units in Power Break® II breakers. A208LIPMR is an example of a valid catalog number.

The first character of each catalog number defines the type of breaker for which it is configured, as listed in Table 1.

Table 3. Installed breaker CT size referred to by third and fourth characters of Trip Unit catalog number.

The fifth character of the catalog number is the letter L, which indicates that all Trip Units come with long-time overcurrent protection. Additional letters are appended to the catalog number to indicate installed protective functions, as in Table 4. These suffixes are valid for both MicroVersaTrip Plus and

MicroVersaTrip PM style Trip Units. They are appended from left to right in the order given.

Finally, if the Trip Unit is ordered as a replacement, an “R” suffix is appended to the catalog number.

For example, a Trip Unit with catalog number

B210LSIGZ1PM has the following functions:

B2 -- Trip Unit for Power Break II with maximum

CT of 2000 A

10 – breaker current sensor (CT) of 1000 A

L -- long-time overcurrent protection

S -- short-time overcurrent protection

1-5 Rating Plugs

Interchangeable rating plugs are used to establish or change the current rating of the breaker. Rating plugs for MicroVersaTrip Plus or MicroVersaTrip

PM Trip Units in either Power Break®, Power

Break® II, or Type AKR breakers are interchangeable within the same sensor rating.

Rating plugs for Power Break, Power Break II, and

Type AKR breakers cannot be interchanged with

Spectra RMS™ MicroVersaTrip Plus and

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units.

A built-in rejection feature prevents the insertion of a rating plug with an incorrect sensor rating into a

Trip Unit. Similarly, a Spectra RMS rating plug can not be inserted into a Power Break, Power Break II, or Type AKR breaker.

Rating plug catalog numbers are listed in Table 6.

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 1. Introduction

1-6 Equipment Interfaces

MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Units

MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Units do not usually require connections within the equipment, since all wiring is contained within the circuit breaker. The only two connections are for optional zone-selective interlock (Z1 and Z2), made by secondary disconnect, and the neutral sensor, which uses a special dedicated disconnect.

Zone-selective interlocking coordinates breakers, so that the downstream breaker is allowed the first opportunity to clear a disturbance. The two types of available zone-selective interlocking are Z1, which reacts only to ground faults, and Z2, which reacts to both ground faults and short-time overcurrent pickups.

Neutral Current Sensors

C A U T O N single-phase, three-wire and three-phase, four-wire systems. When the Trip Unit is connected to a threephase, three-wire system, the neutral sensor terminals of the breaker are left open. Do not short any neutral current sensor terminals in a threephase, three-wire system, as this could result in damage to, or malfunction of, the electrical system.

neutre est nécessaire pour les réseaux 3 phases + neutre. Si le neutre n’est pas distribué, les bornes de neutre du déclencheur doivent être laissées ouvertes.

Ne pas les court-circuiter (ceci peut endommager le d é c l e n c h e u r e t e n t r a i n e r u n m a u v a i s fonctionnement du système électrique.

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units

In addition to the inputs received by MicroVersaTrip

Plus Trip Units, MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units also receive inputs from external voltage conditioners, a

+24 Vdc control power supply, and communication connections. External +24 Vdc control power is required for operation.

RMS9C-type MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units require a connection to an auxiliary switch within the breaker that senses the breaker position. This connection is not required for RMS9D-type

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units used on Power

Break® II breakers.

POWER LEADER™ Communication Network

The POWER LEADER Communication Network

(commnet) transmits data and instructions between the Trip Unit and an external intelligent device. The external device may be the POWER LEADER system, the Epic system, or a POWER LEADER Monitor.

Devices on commnet may be up to 1000 feet apart without signal repeaters, subject to certain constraints. A maximum of 30 devices can be connected without a signal repeater. Refer to GEH-5943 for installation and operation of the POWER LEADER system.

Commnet connections are made directly to wiring terminations on breaker frames. All commnet connections to the Trip Units are made through the 36pin or 50-pin plug on the Trip Unit, which mates with a receptacle on the breaker frame. These additional connections are made to the equipment through the secondary disconnects of the breaker.

Voltage Inputs

Voltage inputs are sensed by conventional instrument potential transformers(PTs). PTs have 120 Vac secondaries and must always be used in groups of three; no open-delta connections are permitted. PT primaries are connected either line-to-line or line-toneutral, as required.

PTs may be used for other monitoring functions, subject to reasonable burden limitations. Note that

PTs must be connected in a specific sequence to ensure proper phase relations and power-flow sensing.

Each PT output feeds an individual voltage conditioner that scales the nominal voltage to approximately 1.76 Vac for use by the Trip Unit.

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 1. Introduction

Power Requirements

A small amount of power is necessary to energize the liquid crystal display (LCD) during setup, for viewing breaker status, and for metering displays.

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units require external +24

Vdc control power for proper operation. The four sources of such power are the following:

• Flow of current -- Breaker current sensors provide sufficient power to energize the LCD when at least 20% of the sensor’s ampere rating is flowing.

• + 24 Vdc control power – Breakers with

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units are supplied with external +24 Vdc power that, whenever present, energizes the LCD. Some breaker models that are configured for MicroVersaTrip

Plus Trip Units may be optionally equipped to accept an external +24 Vdc supply.

• Internal Battery Power – The Trip Unit has an internal battery that powers the unit temporarily when the

BATTERY

key on the display is pressed.

Battery power automatically turns off 30 seconds after the last keypad press. The battery power supply is disabled when any current is sensed through the current sensors.

• MicroVersaTrip Portable Power Pack -- The

MicroVersaTrip Portable Power Pack contains a dc power source and a jack. The LCD is energized when the jack is plugged into the rating plug test receptacle.

• Power Break® II Undervoltage Release and

Shunt Trip Accessories – When energized, these accessories supply +24 Vdc power to the Trip

Unit.

1-7 Trip Unit Information

Trip Unit Label Information

Following are descriptions of the various labels on the front of the Trip Unit, as illustrated in Figure 5.

• Extreme top -- circuit breaker series and/or serial number of the breaker, unless it is a replacement unit.

• Upper-left corner – Trip Unit-series serial number, such as RMS9C000143 .

Figure 5. Labels on front of Trip Unit.

• Upper-right corner -- Trip Unit date of manufacture code, such as E439= .

• Lower-left corner -- catalog number of the Trip

energized breaker. Typical usage could include one half-hour of use for first-time cold setup, 10 Trip

Unit status checks per year on a de-energized breaker, and one or two configuration changes per year.

The battery is not required for proper operation or protection of the breaker. It is not needed nor used to store setpoints, configurations, or trip target information. It provides a source of power to display setpoints and trip information only if no other source of power is available.

Battery Replacement

Replace the battery if it does not power up the Trip

Unit or if the low-battery symbol appears in the display when the

BATTERY

key is pressed. Lift the right-side tab of the battery cover on the front of the

Trip Unit to expose the 3.9 V AA lithium cell. A suitable replacement is the Electrochem 3B24–XA, which is available from industrial distributors. The manufacturer’s address is listed in Appendix 4.

Chapter 2. Setup Mode

2-1 Overview 2-2 Operating Modes

This chapter describes the operation of the four function keys, set point and time-delay adjustments, and their accuracies. The setup procedures should only be repeated if the Trip Unit or the protection characteristics are changed, requiring different set points and time delays.

These procedures apply to MicroVersaTrip Plus and

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units. Setup programming must be performed with the rating plug installed.

For Trip Units set up through either the POWER

LEADER™ system or the Epic MicroVersaTrip Field

Programming Unit, refer to instructions published for those systems.

Table 9 contains a list of abbreviations used throughout the description of the setup procedures.

MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Trip

Units have three operating modes: Setup, Metering, and Status. The effects of each of the four function keys in each mode are listed in Table 10.

All the function keys, except for

ENTER

, automatically step the Trip Unit display to the next available option each time the key is pressed. Continued pressing of a key eventually loops the display back to the initial option for that function. This is illustrated in

Figure 8 for the

FUNCTION

key, which shows that repeatedly pressing this key cycles the mode among

Status, Metering, and Setup. Pressing the

ENTER

key more than once has no effect.

In Setup mode, depressing the

2-3 Setup Mode Operation

The following instructions describe setup procedures for all available Trip Unit functions. These are illustrated in Figure 9. All Trip Units provide long-time overcurrent protection, long-time delay, and some form of instantaneous overcurrent protection when installed in Power Break® circuit breakers. All other functions are optional.

If a specific set of Trip Unit functions, such as relaying or short-time overcurrent protection, has not been ordered, that function will not appear on the

Trip Unit display. Ignore setup mode instructions for such functions.

The Trip Unit must be provided with control power during setup. This can come from internal battery power, from a MicroVersaTrip Portable Power Pack, from an external +24 Vdc power supply, or by energizing the breaker to at least 20% of its sensor load.

To begin the process, press the

FUNCTION

key until

Power Demand Intervals

This function sets the power demand interval, which can be in the range of 5 to 60 minutes, in steps of 5 minutes. This setpoint specifies the time interval for power demand averaging. The Trip Unit calculates a rolling average of breaker power over this time interval. The Trip Unit display is illustrated in Figure 42.

Accessory Configuration Setup (RMS9D

Series Trip Units Only)

RMS9D Trip Units have a six-position DIP switch module on the rear of the unit that controls the configuration of the Power Break® II integrated accessories. These switches can be set up to define the types of signals (protection trip, Shunt trip, Shunt Trip with Lockout, or Undervoltage Release trip) that activate the Bell Alarm–Alarm Only and Bell Alarm with Lockout accessories on the Power Break II breaker. Each of the six switches enables or disables a different path to activate these accessories from the different types of trip signals. Figure 44 shows the logic function for the switches.

The Trip Unit DIP switches are illustrated in Figure

45, with the factory settings shown. Table 17 lists the switch functions.

Chapter 3. Metering Mode

3-1 Overview

The metering mode displays parameter values for that part of the electrical system controlled by the breaker’s MicroVersaTrip Plus or MicroVersaTrip

PM Trip Unit. Both currents and voltages are computed as true rms values. There is no loss of accuracy even in the presence of high levels of harmonics. All metering displays are updated once each second.

Accuracies and resolutions are described in Section

1-8 and Table 7.

All values except frequency are displayed to three significant figures. For example, phase currents might be displayed as 60.7 AMPS

, 492 AMPS

, or 1.22

KA .

The Trip Unit metering displays are appropriate to the actual configuration ordered. All MicroVersa-

Trip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units include current metering. Two configurations of the

MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units (with PM and M suffixes in their catalog numbers) have the full complement of metering displays.

The Trip Unit must be provided with control power to display metered values. This can come from internal battery power, from a MicroVersaTrip Portable

Power pack, from an external +24 Vdc power supply, or by energizing the breaker to at least 20% of its sensor load.

3-2 Metering Mode Operation

Metering mode is reached by pressing until

METER

FUNCTION

appears in the upper-right corner of the display. Metering mode always begins with the phase currents. The sequence in which the metered values appear is illustrated in Figure 47.

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 3. Metering Mode

Current

The initial metering display is phase 1 line current, as illustrated in Figure 48. Press VALUE to cycle among the three phases. Current is displayed from 0 to 999 amperes and from 1.00 to a maximum of 999 kA. For current values less than 5% of the current sensor rating, the displayed value is zero.

Energy

This display, illustrated in Figure 51, shows the aggregate energy flow through the breaker. The value is displayed from 0 to 999 kWh, then automatically switches units to display 1.00 to 999 Mwh, and then again to display 1.00 to 999 GWh. When 999

GWh is exceeded, the display switches back to 0 kWh. The largest negative energy value displayed is

99 GWh.

Accumulated energy is stored in nonvolatile memory. The value in the display can be reset through the Trip Unit keypad. To reset the energy value, hold down the VALUE key and press the SELECT key.

The displayed energy value will reset to zero.

Figure 48. Trip Unit display for current metering.

Voltage

The voltage displayed by this function depends on how the Trip Unit was configured during Setup. If the breaker was configured with phase-to-neutral connections, the display shows individual phase voltages, as in Figure 49. If the breaker was configured with phase-to-phase connections, the display shows voltages between the phases, as in Figure 50. Press

VALUE to cycle through the three phase voltages.

Figure 51. Trip Unit display for aggregate energy.

Total Real Power

The value displayed for total real power, illustrated in Figure 52, represents the aggregate real power in watts flowing through all three phases. The value is displayed from 0 to 999 kW, then automatically switches units to display 1.00 to 999 MW.

Total Apparent Power

The value displayed for total apparent power, as illustrated in Figure 53, represents the aggregate total apparent power in volt-amperes flowing through all three phases. The value is displayed from

0 to 999 kVA, then automatically switches units to display 1.00 to 999 MVA.

Frequency

This display, illustrated in Figure 55, shows the frequency of the line current. Either line voltage or current must be present for this display to appear.

The frequency is calculated from the current and voltage signals. If both are present, the voltage frequency is displayed. If neither are present, this display does not appear.

The frequency is displayed in steps of 1 Hz.

Figure 53. Trip Unit display for aggregate apparent power.

Power Demand

Power demand is the average of total power over the selected interval (5, 10, …, 55, 60 minutes). This display is updated every minute. The power demand display is illustrated in Figure 54.

Figure 55. Trip Unit display for frequency.

Figure 54. Trip Unit display for power demand.

Peak Power Demand

Peak power demand is stored in nonvolatile memory.

Every minute, the power demand is calculated and compared against the stored peak power demand. If the new power demand is greater than the stored peak demand, the Trip Unit stores the new power demand as the peak value. The display of peak power demand is identical to the display illustrated in Figure 54, except that the units segment (in this case, MW) flashes.

Peak demand is stored in nonvolatile memory. The value in the display can be reset through the Trip

Unit keypad. To reset the peak demand to the present demand, hold down the

VALUE

key and press the

SELECT

key.

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 4. Status Mode

4-1 Overview

Trip Unit Status mode is selected by pressing the

FUNCTION

key until

STATUS

appears on the display.

Status mode indicates the present status of the Trip

Unit and circuit breaker. It also displays information about trip conditions and the trip history of the breaker. Two categories of information can be displayed: trip information and trip operations counters.

long-time, short-time, adjustable-instantaneous, and ground-fault. The corresponding counter is incremented after any of these trips. A maximum of 256 trips can be counted for each type of fault, after which the counter rolls over to zero.

4-2 Status Mode Operation

This section describes each of the Status mode displays.

Trip Information

Various trip information parameters are displayed when an overcurrent trip or protective relay trip occurs. Additionally, RMS9D series Trip Units provide target indications if a breaker Undervoltage

Release or Shunt Trip accessory trip occurs.

The Status display indicates when a long-time, shorttime, or ground-fault trip is imminent (breaker is in pickup). Following a trip, the Trip Unit displays a trip target to indicate the type of trip, the fault current magnitude at trip, and the phase of the fault

(where appropriate). For adjustable-instantaneous trips, the Trip Unit displays the instantaneous function setpoint rather than the actual current. Fault magnitude is not displayed for high-range instantaneous trips.

Trip information is stored in the Trip Unit memory and displayed when Trip Unit power is returned or if internal battery power is enabled. Trip information is always available if Trip Unit power is maintained following a fault.

The Status display records trip information only for those options ordered with the Trip Unit. For example, only MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units can be equipped with protective relays and thus display information about them.

RMS9D series Trip Units only display trip targets for

Undervoltage Release and Shunt Trip accessory trips when those accessory modules are installed in the

Power Break® II breaker.

Normal Status Display

When the breaker is closed and its circuit energized, the normal status display appears, as illustrated in

Figure 56. This display indicates that the Trip Unit is not in long-time pickup and that all trip targets are cleared.

Figure 56. Trip Unit display for normal status.

Long-Time Overcurrent Pickup Display

When the long-time overcurrent function has reached 95% of the Trip Unit’s long-time current rating, xLT,

PICKUP

begins to flash on the display, as illustrated in Figure 57. During the transition from

95% to 100% of the set point, the frequency of flashing increases. When the set point is reached, but before the time delay has expired, the flashing stops, indicating that tripping is imminent.

Trip Operations Counters

Trip operations counters record the total number of overcurrent trips. Separate internal counters are provided for each of the following types of trips:

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 4. Status Mode

Figure 57. Trip Unit status display for long-time overcurrent pickup.

Figure 59. Trip Unit Status display for long-time overcurrent trip.

Trip Target and Fault Displays

When the breaker trips, information about the trip can be displayed in Status mode. Figure 58 illustrates a typical fault display following a trip.

Short-Time Overcurrent Fault Display

After a short-time trip, the status display appears as in Figure 60. The information presented is similar to that in the long-time overcurrent display, with the short-circuit (

I >> ) and short-time (

ST

) targets.

Long-Time Overcurrent Fault Display

After a long-time overcurrent trip, the trip information display contains the fault current magnitude at trip, the phase on which the fault occurred, and the overload (

I > ) and long-time (

LT

) trip targets. This display is illustrated in Figure 59.

Figure 60. Trip Unit status display for short-time overcurrent trip.

Figure 58. Typical fault display following a breaker trip.

The

FAULT

segment indicates that the breaker has tripped because of an overcurrent condition or a protective relay. This segment remains visible until it is cleared, including displays in Setup and Meter mode. This provides an indication that trip information is available, even if other screens are being displayed. If the trip was caused by a protective relay, the

FAULT

segment flashes in Setup or Meter mode.

After an overcurrent trip, the

FAULT

segment and the appropriate overcurrent target are displayed in all modes, without blinking, until cleared.

Instantaneous Fault Display

The status display for an adjustable instantaneous trip is illustrated in Figure 61. Because of the fast response of this function, the Trip Unit displays only the threshold current for the fault, not the actual fault current nor the phase on which the fault occurred. For high-range instantaneous trips, the threshold current is also not displayed, only the trip target.

Figure 61. Trip Unit status display for instantaneous overcurrent trip.

30

MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 4. Status Mode

Ground-Fault Display

When a ground-fault trip occurs, the display illustrated in Figure 62 appears. The fault current is displayed in units of xCT, the breaker CT sensor rating.

Multiply the sensor rating of the breaker by the displayed fault current multiplier to obtain the groundfault current at trip.

Shunt Trip and Undervoltage Release Trip

Displays (RMS9D Series Trip Units Only)

When a Power Break ®II breaker trips due to the

Shunt Trip, Shunt Trip with Lockout, or

Undervoltage Release, the display indicates the trip with a flashing target, as illustrated in Figure 64. The indications

ST

and

UVR

appear for Shunt Trip and

Undervoltage Release trips, respectively. Note that the

FAULT

segment does not display, since the trip originated external to the breaker and may not represent a true fault condition.

Figure 62. Trip Unit status display for ground-fault trip.

Protective-Relay Fault Display

After a protective-relay trip, the display indicates

FAULT

with a target for the type of relay that initiated the trip. This is illustrated in Figure 63 for an overvoltage trip. The targets for the five protective relays are listed in Table 18.

Figure 63. Trip Unit status display for protective-relay trip.

Figure 64. Trip Unit status display for Undervoltage Release trip.

Clearing the Trip Information

Since trip information is stored in nonvolatile memory, the Trip Unit continues displaying the trip information until it is manually cleared or a new trip occurs. After the trip information has been recorded or reviewed, it can be cleared with the keypad. With the Trip Unit in Status mode, hold down the

VALUE key and press the

SELECT

key. The trip information is then cleared and the display reverts to

STATUS OK
