Notes: 1. Curve accuracy applies from -20C to +55C ambient. Temperatures above +88 C cause an over temperature protection trip. For possible continuous ampere derating for ambient above 40C, consult Rockwell Automation. 2. Application frequency is 50/60 Hertz.

Available Long Delay Time: 2,4,7,10,12,15,20,24 sec. Shown @ 6x Ir 2,4,7,15,24 seconds +0/-30%

3. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the Long Delay. The memory effect comes into play if a current above the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset memory. 4. The right portion of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. 5. The left portion of the curve is shown as a multiple of the Long Delay Setting (Long Delay Pick Up = 115% of Ir). Range is 110% - 120%.

Notes Electronic trip units are suitable for functional field testing with test kit. For field testing using primary injection methods, follow NEMA publication AB-4-1991. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay. The memory effect comes into play if a current above the long delay pick up value exists for a time and then is cleared by the tripping of a down stream device or the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset the memory. Curve accuracy applies from 20 C to +55 C ambient. For possible continuous ampere derating for ambient above 40 C, consult Rockwell Automation. For high fault current levels a fixed instantaneous override is provided at 4000 A. (Tolerance 15%). The end of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. See above tabulation. For ground fault time/current curve see 40752-636.

Notes Electronic trip units are suitable for functional field testing with test kit. For field testing using primary injection methods, follow NEMA publication AB-4-1991. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay. The memory effect comes into play if a current above the long delay pick up value exists for a time and then is cleared by the tripping of a down stream device or the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset the memory. Curve accuracy applies from 20 C to +55 C ambient. For possible continuous amp derating for ambient above 40 C, consult Rockwell Automation For high fault current levels a fixed instantaneous override is provided at 4000A. (Tolerance 15%). The end of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. See above tabulation. For ground fault time/current curve see 40752-636.

Maximum Total Clearing Time Notes:

1. Curve accuracy applies from -20C to +55C ambient. Temperatures above +85 C cause an overtemperature protection trip. For possible continuous ampere derating for ambient above 40C, refer to Rockwell Automation. 2. Application frequency is 50/60 Hertz. 3. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the Long Delay. The memory effect comes into play if a current above the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset memory. 4. The right portion of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. 5. The left portion of the curve is shown as a multiple of the Long Delay Setting. (Long Delay Pick Up = 115% of Ir). Range is 110% - 120%. 6. Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip unit, the breaker opening, and the interruption of the current. 7. The Short Delay Pick Up has 8 settings/positions, 2 - 8 & 10. 8. For high fault current levels an additional fixed instantaneous hardware override is provided (corresponding to SDPU position 9) at 14x (In) and designated as 14I i. Instantaneous tolerance is 20%. 9. For LD Response & SD with Flat Response (this curve): 10. For LD Response & SD with I T Response curve, see: 11. For Ground Fault Delay Response curve, see:

Notes: 1. Curve accuracy applies from -20C to +55C ambient. Temperatures above +85 C cause an over temperature protection trip. For possible continuous ampere derating for ambient above 40C, refer to Rockwell Automation. 2. Application frequency is 50/60 Hertz.

Available Long Delay Time: 2,4,7,10,12,15,20,24 sec. Shown @ 6x Ir 2,4,7,15,24 seconds +0/-30%

3. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the Long Delay. The memory effect comes into play if a current above the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset memory. 4. The right portion of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. 5. The left portion of the curve is shown as a multiple of the Long Delay Setting (Long Delay Pick Up = 115% of Ir). Range is 110% - 120%.

Short Delay Pick Up Settings (Tolerance 10%)

Calibration response in short delay pick-up range is same for 1, 2 or 3 poles in series. There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay. The memory effect comes into play if a current above the long delay pick-up value exists for a time and then is cleared by the tripping of a downstream device or the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset the memory.

There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay. The memory effect comes into play if a current above the long delay pickup value exists for a time and then is cleared by the tripping of a downstream device or the circuit breaker itself. A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal. The amount of time delay reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload. Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset the memory. Curve accuracy applies from 20 C to +55 C ambient. For possible continuous ampere derating for ambient above 40 C, consult Rockwell Automation. For high fault current levels a fixed instantaneous override is provided at 5500A. (Tolerance 15%). The end of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker. See above tabulation. For ground fault time/current curves see 40752-678.
