1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Digitrip OPTIM 550, illustrated in Figure 1-1, is an
electronic trip unit that incorporates a microprocessor-
based custom application specific integrated circuit
design for use with the Series C L-Frame Molded Case
Circuit Breakers.
The Digitrip OPTIM 550 provides true RMS current
sensing for proper correlation with thermal characteris-
tics of conductors and equipment. Interchangeable rat-
ing plugs are provided to establish the continuous cur-
rent rating of each circuit breaker.
