Trip Device
The MicroVersaTri p is a solid-state, d irect-acti ng,
self-powered trip device system . The M icroVersaTri p
system consists of the M icroVersaTri p p rogrammer,
cu rrent sensors, and a flux shifter trip device. Fig. 76
shows a block d iagram of the system .

Fig. 77 shows a typical M icroVersaTrip p rogrammer
unit. Like the SST and ECS units, the M icroVersaTrip
p rovides the com parison basis for overcurrent detection
and delivers the energy necessary to trip the breaker. It
contains a p rogrammable m icroelectronic processor
which incorporates nine adj ustable time-cu rrent func
tions, three mechanical fault indicators (local and
remote), a long-time pickup LED indicator (local and
remote) and a zone selective i nterlocking function. All
adjustable p rog ram mer functions are automatic and
self-contained req u i ring no external relaying, power
supply or accessories. See Table 1 1 for trip functions
avai lable and Table 12 for trip function characteristics. A
detai led descri ption of each trip function is g iven in
publication G EA 1 0265 and G EH 4657 .

FAULT TRIP INDICATORS
The optional fault trip indicators are similar to the SST
indicators. They are mechanical pop-out type for identify
ing overload or short circuit over-currents faults when
breakers are ordered without integral ground fault protec
tion . They are also available to identify overload, short
circuit and ground fault trips for breakers supplied with
integral ground fault protection .
Each target pops out when its associated trip element
operates to trip the breaker. After a trip, the popped target
must be reset by hand. However, neglecti ng to reset does
110t affect normal operation of any trip element or prevent
the breaker from being dosed.

REMOTE FAU LT INDICATION
Remote fault indication is available i n the form of a
mechanical contact which may be incorporated directly
into the customer's control circuitry. This is a Normally
open contact which is activated when its associated target
pops out. When the target is reset, the contact is returned
to its open position. Each contact is rated 0.25 amp at 1 25
VDC and 1 .0 amp
(
1 0 amp in rush) at 1 20 VAC.
