Protections and Settings of Thermal-Magnetic Trip Units

The adjustment dials are on the front of the trip units.

A Overload protection threshold

B Short-circuit protection pick-up

Upgradability of Thermal-Magnetic Trip Units

Interchangeable trip units are upgradable. See tables above for more information on interchangeable trip units.

Onsite swapping of interchangeable trip units is simple and reliable:

  • No connections to make

  • No special tools (for example, calibrated torque wrench)

  • Compatibility of trip units ensured by mechanical cap

  • Torque limited screw ensures proper mounting (see drawing below)

The design of the trip units limits the risk of incorrect tightening or oversights. The simplicity of the swapping process means that it is easy to make the necessary adjustments as operation and maintenance processes evolve.

NOTE: When the trip unit has been mounted by this means, the trip unit can still be removed: the screw head is accessible.

Sealing the Protection

The transparent cover on thermal-magnetic trip units can be sealed to prevent modification of the protection settings.
