Instantaneous (I) Short delay (S) Ground (G) Ground Alarm only (GA) Every Magnum DS trip unit comes standard with LSI characteristics. Optional ground (G) or ground alarm (GA) may also be provided. These trip units also provide the ability to defeat instantaneous protection.
Low-Voltage Switchgear Ratings Table R10 – Magnum DS Circuit Breakers with Digitrip RMS 520 Trip Unit Typical Long Delay and Short Delay Time/Phase Current Characteristic Curve (LS) 1. 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.
