e.

With the screwdrivers in position, gently rock the 

trip unit from side to side until it works free from the 

circuit breaker.

3.4 Trip Unit Replacement

Make sure the trip unit to be installed is suitable for the 

intended installation by comparing the trip unit catalog 

number with the nameplate on the circuit breaker frame 

located to the right of the handle. Rejection pins are used 

in the circuit breaker frame to prevent the installation of 

an incorrect trip unit.

a.

Remove any existing trip unit by following the 

procedures in paragraphs 3.3.a through e.

Note: The replacement trip unit should be installed 

before the circuit breaker cover is re-installed.

b. 

Position the replacement trip unit above the white 

terminal block to the left of the circuit breaker han-

dle. Align the protruding circuit board with the mat-

ing slot in the white terminal block (see Fig. 3.7).

c. 

Carefully press the trip unit into place. A sharp click 

will be heard as the retaining springs click into posi-

tion.

d. 

Install rating plug (see paragraphs 3.2.b through e).

e. 

Reinstall the circuit brea

4.0 DIGITRIP RMS MODEL CONSIDERATIONS

4.1 Digitrip RMS 310

The Digitrip RMS 310 Trip Assembly consists of a Digitrip 

RMS 310 Trip Unit as described in I.L. 29C883, 3 or 4 

auxiliary current transformers and a stab-in trip unit ter-

minal block as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.

The fourth auxiliary current transformer is supplied when 

the optional ground fault or neutral protection function is 

selected in the trip unit. Also, a side mounted 4-point ter-

minal block is provided to pre-wire the mode of ground 

fault sensing used, i.e., residual or source ground. These 

connections are shown in Fig. 16.

TI

ATING A TRIP OPERATION 

WHILE IN THE CELL " CONNECTED"  POSITION BY 

THE EXTERNAL TEST KIT OR THE INTEGRAL TEST 

PROVISIONS IN THE DIGITRIP RMS TRIP UNIT IS 

NOT RECOMMENDED.

THE TRIPPING OPERATION OF THE CIRCUIT 

BREAKER WILL CAUSE DISRUPTION OF SERVICE 

AND POSSIBLY PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING 

FROM UNNECESSARY SWITCHING OF CON-

NECTED EQUIPMENT.

TESTING OF A CIRCUIT BREAKER SHOULD BE 

DONE ONLY IN THE " TEST" ,  " DISCONNECTED"  OR 

“ WITHDRAWN"  CELL POSITIONS.

WHERE A CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIP OPERATION IS 

DESIRED FOR A FIXED MOUNTED CIRCUIT 

BREAKER, TESTING SHOULD BE CONDUCTED 

ONLY WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IN WHICH THE 

BREAKER IS MOUNTED IS COMPLETELY DE-ENER-

GIZED
