Ground-Fault Protection Modules - Siemens UL 1066 Operating Instructions Manual

Replacing rating plug
Circuit breaker may trip.
If the trip settings are changed while the breaker is closed (and under load) the breaker may trip.
Adjust parameters only when the circuit breaker is in the open position.

Ground-fault protection modules

Various trip units can be optionally equipped with ground-fault protection modules. The following ground-fault protection modules cannot be
removed once they have been installed.
Depending on the ground-fault protection module version, the set value being exceeded will cause either an alarm only or an alarm and a
 (page 9-13)
trip at the same time.
The following device combinations are possible:
Trip unit
ETU745 - 748
ETU776
The following options exist for ground-fault detection:
- vectorial summation of the phase currents or vectorial summation of the phase currents and the neutral conductor current if a
neutral sensor is used
- Direct measurement of the ground-fault current using a separate 1200 A : 1 A ground-fault sensor
Input current carrying capacity of the ground-fault protection module:
- max. 1 A continuous
- max. 5 A for 0.5 sec.
Alarm and tripped signals can be transmitted via the c, PROFIBUS-DP and MODBUS.
