The microcomputer, in cyclic fashion, repeatedly scans
the voltage values across each calibrating resistor and
enters these values into memory. These data are used
to calculate true RMS current values, which are then
repeatedly compared with the protection function set-
tings and other operating data stored in the memory.
The software program then determines whether to initi-
ate protection functions, including tripping the breaker
through the flux transfer shunt trip device in the circuit
breaker.

4.2 OVERLOAD TRIP

In accordance with standards requirements, the trip unit
initiates a trip of the circuit breaker within two hours for
an overload of 135 percent, and will trip in less time for
higher overload currents.
A "Thermal Memory" effect prevents the breaker from
being re-energized immediately after an overload. A
"cooling off" period of up to 5 minutes is required, which
allows time for cabling to cool off.

the OPTIM 550 Trip unit and other related instructions,

5.0 TESTING

5.1 FUNCTIONAL FIELD TESTING

Any field testing should be done in accordance with
applicable NEMA Standard. The operation of circuit
breakers with Digitrip OPTIM RMS trip units can be field
tested periodically using the hand held OPTIMIZER (see
user's manuals).
5.2 PERFORMANCE TESTING FOR GROUND
FAULT TRIP UNITS

5.2.1 CODE REQUIREMENTS

The National Electrical Code under Article 230-95-C
requires that any ground-fault protection system be per-
formance tested when first installed. The test shall be
conducted in accordance with approved instructions
provided with the equipment. A written record of this test
shall be made and shall be available to the authority
having inspection jurisdiction.

5.2.2 STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS

As a follow-up to the basic performance requirements
stipulated by the N.E.C. as stated above, UL Standard
No. 1053 requires that certain minimum instructions
must accompany each ground fault protection system.
These following statements plus a copy of the test
record form illustrated in Figure 5-4 are shipped with
each Digitrip OPTIM 550 Trip Unit.

5.2.3 GENERAL TEST INSTRUCTIONS

The interconnected system shall be evaluated in accor-
dance with the equipment assembler's detailed instruc-
tions by qualified personnel.
The polarity of the neutral sensor connections (if used)
must agree with equipment assembler's detailed instruc-
tions to avoid improper operations following apparently
correct simulated test operations. Where a question
exists, consult the specifying engineer and/or equipment
assembler.
29-120L
The grounding points of the system shall be verified to
29C890
determine that ground paths do not exist that would
bypass the sensors. The use of high-voltage testers and
29C892
resistance bridges may be used.
29C893
29C891
29C894
THERE IS A HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
BURN WHENEVER WORKING IN OR AROUND
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS TURN OFF
POWER SUPPLYING BREAKER BEFORE CON-
DUCTING TESTS.
Since the Digitrip OPTIM 550 Trip Units derive their
operating power from the phase currents, and not
from the neutral current, passing current through
the neutral sensor only will not properly test the
ground fault feature.
Using a low voltage (0-24 volt), high current, AC source,
apply a test current of 125% of the Digitrip OPTIM 550
