1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Digitrip 3000 Protective Relays panel mounted multi-
function, microprocessor based overcurrent relays,
designed for both ANSI and IEC applications (Figures 1-1
and 1-2). It is a self-contained device which operates
from either AC or DC control power (DC only for the
DT3030 & DT3031), and provides true RMS sensing of
each phase and ground current. Only one relay is
required per three-phase circuit. Current monitoring and
operator selectable protective functions are integral to
each device.

CAUTION
THE LOSS OF CONTROL VOLTAGE WILL CAUSE THE
DIGITRIP 3000 TO BE INOPERATIVE. IF AC CONTROL
VOLTAGE IS USED, AN APPROPRIATE RELIABLE
POWER SOURCE/SCHEME SHOULD BE SELECTED
(POSSIBLY A UPS SYSTEM) TO SUPPLY POWER TO
THE RELAY.
The Digitrip 3000 Protective Relay provides protection for
most types of medium voltage electrical power distribu-
tion systems. It was designed for use with Cutler-Ham-
mer Type VCP-W vacuum circuit breakers, as well as
other manufacturers’ medium and high voltage circuit
breakers. Digitrip 3000 Protective Relays are compatible
for use with all circuit breakers utilizing a shunt trip coil.
