Notes: 1) Using trip unit with adjustable delay (LSI), instantaneous pick-up is achieved when the lowest time delay
setting (l) is selected for non-arms trip units.
2) Override setting fixed at frame withstand rating.

The UBW1200 Trip Units are AC only devices that employ microprocessor based
technology that provides true RMS current sensing means for proper correlation with
thermal characteristics of conductors and equipment. The primary function of the trip unit
is circuit protection. This is achieved by analyzing the secondary current signal received
from the circuit breaker current sensors and initiating trip signals to the circuit breaker shunt
trip when pre-set current levels and time delay setting are exceeded. Low level ground
fault protection with an adjustable time delay is supplied when appropriate trip types are
selected.
In open air at 40 ºC (104 ºF), a UBW1200 circuit breaker with a 310+ trip unit will carry
continuously up to 1200 Amperes without exceeding a 50 ºC (122 ºF) rise at the terminals.
The calibration of the trip unit is insensitive to ambient temperatures over a range of
-20 to +55 ºC (-4 to 131 ºF). However, the trip unit contains thermal temperature protective
circuitry that initiates a trip operation for self-protection if the internal ambient temperature at
the printed circuit board (PCB) reaches approximately 90 ºC. For ambient conditions above
40 ºC (104 ºF), derating of the circuit breaker should be considered to avoid exceeding a
safe terminal temperature operation range. Consult WEG for recommendations.
