SECTION 1 2-MicroVersaTrip™ Trip Device (Cont.)

12.3 FLUX SHIFTER TRIP DEVICE

The only difference between the MicroVersaTrip and

SST flux shifter trip devices is the solenoid winding. Refer

to Section 10.3 for details.

When replacing a MicroVersaTrip flux shifter, AMP ex

traction tool Cat. No.

455822-2

Is required to remove the

socket leads from the AMP connector.

12.4 TROUBLESHOOTING

When malfunctionion is suspected, the first step in

troubleshooting is to examine the circuit breaker and its

power system for abnormal conditions such as:

a) Breaker tripping in proper response to overcurrents or

incipient ground faults.

b) Breaker remaining in a trip-free state due to

mechanical maintenance along Its trip shaft.

c) Inadvertent shunt trip activations.

WARNING:

DO NOT CHANGE TAPS ON THE CUR·

RENT SENSORS  OR ADJUST THE  PROGRAMMER
UNIT SET KNOBS  WHILE  THE BREAKER IS CAR·
RYING  CURRENT.

PROGRAP.!t.!ER

HARNESS

Once It has been established that the circuit breakf

can be opened and closed normally from the test posltior.,
attention can be directed to the trip device proper. Testing

is performed by either of two methods:

Conduct high-current, single-phase tests on the

breaker using a high current-low voltage test set.

NOTE:

For these single-phase tests, special connec

tions must

employed for Micro Versa Trip breakers

equipped with Ground Fault. Any single-phase Input

the programmer circuit will generate an unwanted

"ground fault" output signal which will trip the

breaker. This can

nullified either by

a) Using the Ground Fault Defeat Cable as shown In

Fig.

93.

This special test cable energizes the pro

grammer circuit in a self-cancelling, series-parallel

connection so that Its output is always zero.

Test the components of the MicroVersaTrip system

using portable Test Set Type TVTS1 (Fig. 88). The

plicable test procedures are detailed in instruction Book
GEK-84464.

The time-current characteristics for the MicroVersaTrip

Trip Device are given in curves GES8195 and GES8199.
