Electrical characteristics
Operating currents and voltages
The correct operation of Ekip Touch trip unit is guaranteed with primary currents with clearly defined
characteristics.
In addition, Ekip Touch trip unit can be powered directly by the internal current sensors or, in the presence of
the Ekip Measuring Pro module, by the installation voltage.
The following are the specifications:
Parameter
Operating limits
Minimum three-phase turn-on current
> 80 A (E1.2-E2.2-E4.2)
> 160 A (E6.2)
Rated frequency
50 / 60 Hz ± 10 %
Peak factor
Complying with standard IEC 60947-2
Minimum three-phase turn-on voltage
> 80 V
Auxiliary power supply
All the trip units of the Ekip Touch range can be connected to an external auxiliary power supply source,
useful to activate certain functions such as communication on a Local Bus, recording of manual operations,
measurements and the datalogger.
The auxiliary power can be supplied by the modules of the Ekip Supply rangeor with direct connection to a
terminal box.
The direct connection must be made guaranteeing the following operating conditions:
Parameter
Operating limits
Voltage
24 V DC galvanically isolated
Tolerance
± 10 %
Maximum ripple
± 5 %
Maximum inrush current @ 24 V
10 A per 5 ms
Maximum rated power @ 24 V
4 W
Connection cable
Insulated with grounding cable (same characteristics
as Belden 3105A/B or higher)
IMPORTANT: in case of direct connection, the power supply must be galvanically
insulated and provide the insulation characteristics established by the Standard IEC
60950 (UL 1950) or equivalent.
