SWITCHGEAR (TRIP UNIT RETROFIT KITS)<br />

Digitrip RMS Rating Plugs<br />

INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION<br />

Rating plugs for Digitrip RMS Trip Units<br />

determine the continuous current rating<br />

of the <strong>circuit</strong> breaker. All protection function<br />

settings on the face of the trip unit are<br />

expressed in per unit multiples of the<br />

rating plug ampere rating (In).<br />

The rating plug is interlocked with the tripping<br />

mechanism to automatically “open”<br />

the breaker when the plug is removed.<br />

The breaker will remain “trip free” with<br />

the plug removed.<br />

SPB Rating Plug and Details<br />

NOTE: At the time of this publication, the standard trip units for<br />

Low Voltage Digitrip Retrofit Kits are the RMS 510/610/810/<br />

910. From 1989-1996, the standard trip units were the RMS<br />

500/600/700/800. These trip units are no longer in production.<br />

Replacement orders for the 500/600/700/800 trip units<br />

will be filled by the equivalent 510/610/810/910 trip units.<br />

Remember when replacing a 500/600/700/800 unit with a<br />

510/610/810/910, the rating plug must also be replaced.<br />

SPB rating plugs must be selected to<br />

match the desired continuous current rating<br />

of the breaker as well as the frame rating<br />

and the system frequency, i.e., 50 or 60 Hz.<br />

DS and retrofit rating plugs must be<br />

selected to match the desired continuous<br />

current rating of the breaker, the sensor<br />

tap setting and the system frequency, i.e.,<br />

50 or 60 Hz.<br />

Rating plugs are equipped with a backup<br />

battery to maintain the mode of trip operation<br />

following a <strong>circuit</strong> breaker tripping<br />

Other Retrofitted Breakers<br />

DS Rating Plug<br />

when external power is not available. The<br />

battery is a long-life lithium type, that is<br />

accessible from the front of the trip unit,<br />

without removing the rating plug.<br />

Replacement types and instructions are<br />

provided in Application Data 33-855.<br />

Following a trip operation and with no<br />

supplementary control power available,<br />

the battery will maintain the mode of trip<br />

LED for approximately 60 hours.<br />

Rating plugs for the 500/600/700/800 trip units will still be<br />

available. These rating plugs are not interchangeable with<br />

the 510/610/810/910 trip units.<br />

Likewise, rating plugs for the 510/610/810/910 are not interchangeable<br />

with the 500/600/700/800 trip units.<br />
