Testing Static Trip III Devices
7
POWER CONTROL in a clockwise direction. This is a five turn
control arranged for 50 Hz operation so a noticeable deadband
is evident at zero output and 60 Hz. Increase the current until
the LONG TIME pick-up light comes ON. This should be at
.275 10%. The sampling rate of the ammeter is
such that the control must be moved very slowly to accurately
determine the pick-up current of the trip device. The pick-up
is always 110% of long time setting.
5. Decreasing the current should cause the light to go out.
6. Repeat the tests for the other phases and settings and
compare with Table 1.

General Notes
1.
The “Tripping XFMR Rating” STATIC TRIP III represent
the primary current in amperes. The secondary rated
value is one half ampere.
2.
The current settings of the long time element are switch
selectable and are calibrated at points .5 through 1.0 as
shown in the rating table. Pickup is 1.1 times the setting.
3.
The pick-up setting of the short time delay element is
switch selectable and is calibrated at 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and
12 multiples of the long time setting.
4.
Instantaneous calibration at 2,4,6,8, 12 and 15 multiples
of tripping XFMR rating.
5.
The pick-up settings of the ground elements are switch
selectable and are calibrated in multiples of the tripping
transformer rating as shown in the rating table.
6
The long time element has 5 bands which are field
selectable. The time delay at 6 multiples of pick-up is as
follows:
Band 1 —3.5 seconds Band 4—17 seconds
Band 2—6.0 seconds Band 5—30 seconds
Band 3—10 seconds
7.
The ground element has 3 bands which are calibrated at
1, 25 and 4 seconds.
8.
The short time element has 5 time bands
9.
The maximum interrupting time is the maximum length
of time that fault current flows, including arcing time.
10. The lower limit of ground fault recognition is 25 amperes
for RL-800 breakers and 40 amperes for an RL-1600
breaker.
