1 .O GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Protection

The Digitrip RMS 31 0, illustrated in Figure 1, is an elec-
tronic trip unit that incorporates a microprocessor-based
custom application specific integrated circuit design for
use with Series C L-Frame and MDL Frame Molded Case
Circuit Breakers.
The Digitrip RMS 310 provides true RMS current sensing
for proper correlation with thermal characteristics of
conductors and equipment. Interchangeable rating plugs
