How to Determine Circuit Breaker Ampere Rating
Circuit Breakers Equipped with Micrologic™ Trip System
Class 0600
Micrologic™ Trip Units
Types 3.2 (S), 3.3(S), 5.2, 5.3, 6.2,
and 6.3—Used With PowerPact™
H-, J- and L-Frame Circuit Breakers
Ampere rating (Ir) is set by the Ir dial (Figure1, A) on the face of the trip unit.
The maximum Ir setting corresponds to the sensor rating In (B).
Ampere rating Ir can be adjusted in 1 ampere increments on 5.2, 5.3, 6.2 and
6.3 trip units using the keypad (C).

Per the National Electrical Code 240.6(C) a circuit breaker that has restricted
access to the adjusting means shall be permitted to have an ampere rating
that is equal to the adjusted long-time pickup setting. Restricted access is
defined as: (1) removable and sealable covers over the adjustment means,
(2) bolted equipment enclosure doors, (3) locked doors accessible only to
qualified personnel. Sealable covers are provided using an optional wire
seal (catalog no. MICROTUSEAL).

Ground-Fault Setting
The Micrologic 6 trip unit incorporates ground-fault protection; both pickup
and time delay can be adjusted.
Set the ground-fault protection pickup Ig using the keypad. Set Ig to the exact
value required (in steps of 0.05 In from 0.2 x In to 1.0 x In for 100–600 A and
0.3 x In to 1.0 x In for 60 A).
Set the time delay tg using the keypad. Use the same setting for selecting
option I2t ON. Set tg to the desired value (0.0 s, 0.1 s, 0.2 s, 0.3 s, or 0.4 s with or without I2t ON).

To determine ampere rating (Ir), multiply sensor rating (In) by the long-time
pickup setting. For example:
•
•
•
In = 2000A
Long-time pickup setting = 0.70
Therefore Ir = 2000A x 0.70 = 1400A
Per the National Electrical Code 240.6(C) a circuit breaker that has
restricted access to the adjusting means shall be permitted to have an
ampere rating that is equal to the adjusted long-time pickup setting.
Restricted access is defined as: (1) removable and sealable covers over the
adjustment means, (2) bolted equipment enclosure doors, (3) locked doors
accessible only to qualified personnel. A flip down cover is provided to
protect the rating plug and long-time pickup setting adjustment. To seal the
trip unit, a wire seal is required.
Ground-Fault Setting
To determine ground-fault setting, multiply sensor plug rating (In) by the
ground-fault pickup setting. For example:
•
•
•
In = 2000A
Ground-fault pickup setting = 0.30
Therefore ground-fault setting = 2000A x 0.30 = 600A
NOTE: Changing the rating plug or long-time setting will not affect groundfault pickup level.
For trip units equipped with ground-fault protection for equipment, the test
push button used for electronic testing of ground-fault protection is located
above the test connector. For other ground-fault current test procedures,
consult the trip unit instruction bulletin.

Ground-Fault Setting
Per the National Electrical Code 240.6(C) a circuit breaker that has
restricted access to the adjusting means shall be permitted to have an
ampere rating that is equal to the adjusted long-time pickup setting.
Restricted access is defined as: (1) removable and sealable covers over the
adjustment means, (2) bolted equipment enclosure doors, (3) locked doors
accessible only to qualified personnel. Sealable covers are provided using
an optional wire seal (catalog no. MICROTUSEAL). Two seals are required
per circuit breaker, one for the rating plug and one on the clear trip
adjustments cover.
To determine ground-fault setting multiply sensor size (In) by the groundfault pickup setting.
NOTE: Ground-fault pickup level is not a function of rating plug or long-time
setting, only sensor rating.
An optional ground-fault test panel is available. For other ground-fault
system field testing, consult the circuit breaker instruction bulletin.
