against short circuits.

Short-time protection is standard on 2.0A,

5.0A and 6.0A trip units. It is not available on

3.0A trip units.

Short-time protection is based on the long-

time pickup (Ir).

The short-time pickup (Isd) (A) sets current

level (below instantaneous trip level) at

which circuit breaker will trip after the preset

time delay.

The short-time delay (tsd) (B) sets the length

of time that the circuit breaker will carry an

overcurrent above the short-time pickup

current level before tripping. It is adjustable

on the 5.0A and 6.0A trip unit and factory set

to zero on the 2.0A trip unit.

The I2t on/I2t off option provides improved

selectivity with downstream protective

devices:

— With I2t off selected, fixed time delay is

provided.

— With I2t on selected, inverse time I2t

protection is provided up to 10 x Ir.

Above 10 x Ir, fixed time delay is

provided.

Intermittent currents in the short-time tripping

range which do not last sufficiently long to

trigger a trip are accumulated and shorten

the trip delay appropriately.

Short-time protection can be zone-selective

interlocked (ZSI) with upstream or

downstream circuit breakers.

Setting tsd to the 0 setting turns off zone-

selective interlocking.

Short-time protection uses true RMS

measurement.

Short-time pickup and delay can be adjusted

to provide selectivity with upstream or

downstream circuit breakers.

NOTE: Use I2t off with ZSI for proper coordination. Using I2t on with ZSI is not recommended as the delay in the upstream device receiving a restraint signal could result in the trip unit tripping in a time shorter than the published trip curve.
