REMEMBER
: Auxiliary power is not required to provide current protection features.
Protection is active well before any overload. The trip unit begins to power-up at very low
levels of current (approximately 20% of the frame rating). For single-phase applications, self-
power occurs at a higher current threshold (approximately 30% of the frame rating).
5.3 General purpose relay mapping
The PXR family supports optional general purpose relay contacts (1 to 3 relays depending
on the PXR model and the breaker frame). Any relay in the PXR can be configured to any
one of the functions. The mapping is conveniently done using the Power Xpert Protection
Manager software. Relays require auxiliary power to operate.
