to the energy produced by renewable and local energy sources, especially the absence of power supply
caused, for example, by a fault on the MV voltage side.
This function is available in two versions:
• Basic, supplied with all the Ekip Touch Trip units
• Adaptive; can be purchased by means of the relative additional package and is available for all Trip units
with the Measuring Measurements package, except Ekip M Touch
All the parameters and measurements of the function are available via Ekip Connect; however, the Trip unit
allows certain of them to be set and displayed, as described below.
IMPORTANT: consult the Technical catalog or White paper of the function for full
details (page 4, 14).
NOTE: it is advisable to first configure the parameters via Ekip Connect, and only then operate
on the Trip unit
