Figure 14.1 and Figure 14.2

 

show a method to verify that the 

breaker CT polarities match. The setup in Figure 14.1 
verifies that the CT polarities of Phase A and Phase B 
match. The setup in Figure 14.2 verifies that the CT 
polarities of Phase B and Phase C match. 
 
It is only necessary to inject a current slightly greater than 
the GF Pick-Up setting and to verify that a GF trip does not 
occur.

If a GF trip does occur, determine which CT has the 
reversed polarity. Reverse the secondary connections at the 
CT to correct the reversed polarity. 
 
The breakers shown in the Figures above have the CTs on 
the load side. Use exactly the same method if the CTs are 
on the breaker line side or if they are staggered. 
 
If a neutral CT is used, its polarity must match the polarity of 
the breaker mounted CTs. 

 

 
To test QT-I the AC-PRO-II QUICK-TRIP switch module 
must be connected to the trip unit as shown in Figure 7.1. 
 
With QT- I pick-up set to the required value and the  
QUICK-TRIP selector switch turned to the on position, test all 
three breaker poles in the same manner as the normal 
Instantaneous function. 

 

 
To test the UV trip or alarm function, a primary injection 
current test set, a voltage source, and a timer is needed. 
 
Since both a current test set and a voltage source will be 
used, ensure the AC-PRO-II voltage connections are 
isolated from the breaker poles by removing the fuses from 
the fuse block that feeds the VDM (Voltage Divider Module).  
Make the temporary testing connections shown in Figure 
14.3.  
The voltage source can be 120VAC (voltage must be 
at least 90VAC). Verify that the Phase A voltage is indicated 
on the display.  Reminder: voltage measurement and 
settings are for Line-to-Neutral voltages (i.e. 277V is the 
Line-Neutral voltage on a 480V 3-phase system). 
 
The UV delay feature can be tested with a timer. The UV 
function is “definite time”, so the delay remains the same 
regardless of the severity of the undervoltage.

Undervoltage Test Notes: 
1)  In addition to the voltage source, current must be above 

10% of the CT rating on any two phases for a UV Trip or 
Alarm to occur. 

2)  UV is disabled if a Secondary Injection Test Set is 

connected. 

3)  After a UV trip occurs, repeated UV trips are blocked 

until current is re-established. 

4)  If a UV alarm occurs, it is latched and must be reset 

using the display and push buttons. 

5)  Refer to Section 11.17 for additional Undervoltage 

information. 

 

**** IMPORTANT **** 

The Undervoltage function will not operate in the event of 
a total phase loss or total system outage.  The 
UnderVoltage function is not “Phase Loss” protection. 

 
Undervoltage Test Procedure: 
1)  Set the AC-PRO-II UnderVoltage Trip or Alarm setting to 

ON. 

2)  Apply 120VAC across terminals A & B.  (must be at least 

90VAC) 

3)  Apply current greater than 10% of the CT rating on two 

phases and start the timer. 

NOTE: as soon as current is applied to any two phases, 
the AC-PRO-II internal UV pickup timer will start since 
the voltages applied to Phases B & C are both “Low”. 

4)  The UV trip or alarm should occur /- 0.25 

seconds of the UV time delay setting.
