Neutral Sensing Transformer.

An external transformer is required for circuit break-
ers equipped with ground fault protection when op-
erating in the RESIDUAL mode on 3 phase 4 wire
systems and when operating in the GROUND RE-
TURN mode on any system. The sensors listed
below must be used for these applications. The
sensor catalog number must be matched to the cir-
cuit breaker Maximum Continuous Current rating
(In) as shown in the table. Please note that sen-

sors used with other breaker types cannot be used
with the SMD/SND circuit breakers. Installation in-
structions are included with the sensors.

Electronic Testing

Senstrip III solid state molded case circuit break-
ers may be tested for electronic functionality by
the use of a TS-31 test set available from local
Siemens sales offices.

NOTE:  Time current characteristic curves and
information on factory installed accessories can
be obtained from local Siemens sales offices.

This product is covered by the following patent:  4,631,525.
