2.1.4 PULSE-PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

Pulse period is the cycle time of relay K1 when the
SE-330 is configured for pulsing operation. Pulse period
is adjustable from 1.0 to 3.0 seconds with a fixed duty
cycle of 50%. For example, with the 1.0-s setting, relay
K1 will alternately be energized for 0.5 seconds and de-
energized for 0.5 seconds when pulsing is enabled.
See Section 2.3 for detailed pulsing operation
information.
NOTE: For pulsing configuration, set switch S1 to K1 =
PULSING and install an external pulse-enable switch.
2.1.5 CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

Eight configuration switches (S1 to S8) and a
calibration button are located behind the access cover on
the front panel. See Fig. 1.

3.3 GROUND-FAULT CT
Select and install a ground-fault CT that will provide
the desired trip level. Typically, the CT-primary rating
should be approximately equal to the NGR let-through-
current rating. This provides an appropriate GF TRIP
LEVEL setting range and analog-output scaling. See
Sections 2.1.2 and 2.9.
Outline and mounting details for the EFCT- and
SE-CS30-series current sensors are shown in Figs. 16,
17, and 18. Ground-fault-CT connections and the typical
ground-fault-CT location are shown in Fig. 3.
For SE-325 replacement applications, the existing
CT200 current sensor will typically have to be replaced.
However, where replacement is not necessary or
possible, the CT200 can be connected to either the 1- or
5-A input. This CT has a 200:5 current ratio. If
connected to the 1-A input, the ground-fault trip level
will be a percentage of 40 A. See Section 2.1.2.
The accuracy of a typical current sensor, including the
CT200, decreases below 5% of its current rating. CT-
primary current-injection testing is recommended to
verify trip levels below 5% of the
CT-primary rating. See Section 9.4. Littelfuse Startco
current sensors are designed for use at low levels and
respond linearly to 2% current rating.
NOTE: The current-sensor insulation class is of no

consequence if its secondary is grounded and the
conductors through its window are insulated for the
system voltage. Medium-voltage systems may require a
bushing-type CT.

3.4 ISOLATED GROUND CONNECTION

An isolated ground bed can prevent a ground potential
rise (GPR) from being transferred to remote equipment.
If the G terminals on the sensing resistor and the SE-330
are connected to an isolated ground, the SE-330 will be
exposed to the GPR. If the GPR is greater than the
terminal-block rating, the SE-330 must be isolated from
station ground and precautions must be taken with the
power supply and the trip contacts. See Technical Note
RG-1 “NGR Monitoring with Isolated Ground Beds” at
www.littelfuse.com/relayscontrols.
A configuration which allows an SE-330 to be
connected to station ground is shown in Fig. 21. The
SE-330 monitors the series combination of the NGR and
the two ground beds. This configuration is acceptable
provided the series resistance of the NGR and the ground
beds is within the NGR calibration range and ground-
bed- resistance changes remain within the trip range.
See Section 6.1.
FIGURE 22. Simplified Pulsing Connection.
FIGURE 21. Simplified Isolated-Ground Connection.
3.5 PULSING CONNECTION

Set switch S1 to K1 = PULSING and use an external
switch as shown in Fig. 22 to use relay K1 to control a
pulsing contactor. Relays K2 and K3 can be used for
tripping and can be configured in the fail-safe or non-
fail-safe mode using the SE-MON330 software.

be retained by those in charge of the electrical
installation in order to make it available to the authority
having jurisdiction. A test-record form is provided for
recording the date and the final results of the
performance tests. The following ground-fault system
tests are to be conducted by qualified personnel:
a) Evaluate the interconnected system in accordance
with the overall equipment manufacturer’s detailed
instructions.
b) Verify proper installation of the ground-fault current
sensor. Ensure the cables pass through the ground-
fault-current-sensor window. This check can be done
visually with knowledge of the circuit. The
connection of the current-sensor secondary to the
SE-330 is not polarity sensitive.
c) Verify that the system is correctly grounded and that
alternate ground paths do not exist that bypass the
current sensor. High-voltage testers and resistance
bridges can be used to determine the existence of
alternate ground paths.
d) Verify proper reaction of the circuit-interrupting
device in response to a simulated or controlled
ground-fault current. To simulate ground-fault
current, use CT-primary current injection (does not
apply for bushing-type CT’s). Fig. 23a shows a test
