How to Determine Circuit Breaker Ampere Rating

Typically the A rating plug is supplied as standard equipment with factoryinstalled trip units. See Table 1 for other available rating plugs and settings. Table 1:

To determine ampere rating (Ir), multiply sensor rating (In) by the long-time pickup setting. For example:

In = 2000A Long-time pickup setting = 0.70 Therefore Ir = 2000A x 0.70 = 1400A

Per the National Electrical Code 240.6(C) a circuit breaker that has restricted access to the adjusting means shall be permitted to have an ampere rating that is equal to the adjusted long-time pickup setting. Restricted access is defined as: (1) removable and sealable covers over the adjustment means, (2) bolted equipment enclosure doors, (3) locked doors accessible only to qualified personnel. A flip down cover is provided to protect the rating plug and long-time pickup setting adjustment. To seal the trip unit, a wire and lead seal is required.

Ground-fault Setting

To determine ground-fault setting, multiply sensor plug rating (In) by the ground-fault pickup setting. For example:

In = 2000A Ground-fault pickup setting = 0.30 Therefore ground-fault setting = 2000A x 0.30 = 600A

NOTE: Changing the rating plug or long-time setting will not affect groundfault pickup level. For trip units equipped with ground-fault protection for equipment, the test push button used for electronic testing of ground-fault protection is located above the test connector. For other ground-fault current test procedures, consult the trip unit instruction bulletin.

Determine sensor rating from label on circuit breaker face. Ampere rating = sensor size x rating plug multiplier x long-time pickup setting Per the National Electrical Code 240.6(C) a circuit breaker that has restricted access to the adjusting means shall be permitted to have an ampere rating that is equal to the adjusted long-time pickup setting. Restricted access is defined as: (1) removable and sealable covers over the adjustment means, (2) bolted equipment enclosure doors, (3) locked doors accessible only to qualified personnel. Sealable covers are provided using an optional seal device (catalog no. TUSEAL). Two seals are required per circuit breaker, one for the rating plug and one on the clear trip adjustments cover.

To determine ground-fault setting multiply sensor size (In) by the groundfault pickup setting. NOTE: Ground-fault pickup level is not a function of rating plug or long-time setting, only sensor rating. An optional ground-fault test panel is available. For other ground-fault system field testing, consult the circuit breaker instruction bulletin.
