5-series and 8-series electronic trip units

Parameter input via display unit
With 5-series and 8-series electronic trip units, it is possible to set more parameters and to
scale the selection of parameters more finely than on 3-series electronic trip units.
Parameters are set via the display unit and its buttons. This functionality is available,
however, only if a separate, dedicated power supply is connected to the molded case circuit
breakers.
Potential alternatives for this power supply:
● 24 V power supply via:
– EFB300 external function box
– temporarily connected TD300 or TD500 test device
– internal 24 V module
– internal COM060 communication module
● Current flow > 20% I
You will find further information on the parameter display in chapter Operator controls
(Page 93).
Additional features of 8-series units
In addition to the features shared with 5-series trip units, 8-series units also offer:
● With three-pole molded case circuit breakers, a voltage tap for each phase and the option
of connecting the potential of the neutral conductor
With four-pole molded case circuit breakers, four internal voltage taps are provided for
measuring the conductor voltages
● Additional measurement of power values (only possible with an external 24 V supply)
