Section 6: Rating plugs
The rating plug defines the rated current (In) for the trip unit and is the
basis for the trip unit current settings:
1. The instantaneous and ground current setting (if provided) are
multiples of (I
n
)
2. The long delay current setting, (I
r
), is a fractional multiple of (I
n
):
L
ong
D
elay current setting = (I
r
) = LD x (I
n
)
3. The short delay current setting is a multiple of (Ir):
S
hort
D
elay current setting = SD x (I
r
) = SD x [LD x (I
n
)]
A rating plug value, (I
n
), that is less than the breakers maximum
continuous current rating (as listed on the nameplate of the breaker I
u
)
may be chosen to be the basis for the coordination of the protection
function of the circuit breaker without affecting its short-circuit current
capability.
Generally, ratings plugs are defined per customer breaker selection
upon ordering and are installed in the factory. Field-installable kits are
also available as defined in
Tables 9
and
10
.

WARNING
THE RATED CURRENT VALUE OF A RATING PLUG MUST NOT EXCEED
THE MAXIMUM CURRENT FRAME RATING AS LISTED ON THE BREAKER
NAMEPLATE.
For the Series NRX-NF frame, there are three groupings of rating plugs
available: Group A, Group B, Group C (
Table 9
). It is important to select
the proper group when choosing another replacement rating plug for
a particular circuit breaker application. The identification label on the
cover of the circuit breaker will identify the proper group rating plug
required.
For the Series NRX-RF frame, there are four groupings of rating
plugs available: Group D, Group E, Group F and Group G (
Table 10
).
The identification label on the cover of the circuit breaker will identify
the proper group rating plug required if a replacement rating plug is
desired.
