Installation

WARNING: 

Before  installing  any  accessories,  turn 

the  breaker  OFF,  disconnect  it  from  all  voltage 
sources,  and discharge the charging springs.

AVERTISSEMENT: 

Avant  d’installer  toute  accessoire, 

mettre le  disjoncteur  en  position  OFF,  le  déconnecter 
de  toute  tension

Power Break® II Circuit Breaker Accessories

 

Undervoltage Release

1

The  Under  voltage  Release  is  installed  in  the  accessory 
compartment through  the  front of  the  circuit breaker in  the 
position shown in Figure 2.

Introduction

The Undervoltage Release (UVR) accessory, shown in Figure 
1, can be installed in 800–4000 ampere frame Power Break II 
circuit  breakers.  This  accessory  trips  the  circuit  breaker 
when the input control voltage drops to 35–60% of its rated 
value  and  prevents  an  open  breaker  from  closing  until  the 
input control voltage is greater than 80% of the rated value.
In addition to providing a trip signal to the breaker, the UVR 
accessory can be set up to interact with other Power Break II 
accessories,  when  used  with  a  MicroVersaTrip  Plus  or 
MicroVersaTrip  PM  Trip  Unit.  DIP  switches  on  the  rear  of 
the  breaker  Trip  Unit  can  configure  the  UVR  accessory  to 
activate  a  Bell  Alarm–Alarm  Only  accessory  or  a  Bell  Alarm 
with  Lockout  accessory  when  a  UVR  trip  occurs.  The 
Accessory  Configuration  section  below  describes  how  this 
can  be  done.  If  the  breaker  is  equipped  with  a  Power+  Trip 
Unit,  it  is  configured  so  that  only  protection  trips  will 
activate a Bell Alarm–Alarm Only or Bell Alarm with Lockout.

Operation

Apply control voltage to terminals 29 and 30 of the terminal 
strip  on  the  right  side  of  the  breaker.  When  the  applied 
control  voltage is  above  80%  of  the  UVR’s  rated  value,  the 
breaker can be closed. When the voltage drops to 35–60% of 
the rated value, the UVR will trip the breaker.
