2 Except as noted tolerances on current levels are ± 10% of values shown in chart .
3 The rating plug is for 50 Hz and 60 Hz, applications .
4 All tabulated values are based on the use of a residual sensing scheme with the same rated current sensor in all phase and neutral conductors .
5 For Testing Purposes Only: When using an external single phase current source to check low level ground fault current settings, it is advisable to use the Auxiliary Power Module (APM) . See TEST PROCEDURES in Instruction Leaflet .

Response: LonG DeLaY I2t, SHoRt DeLaY I2t
notes:
1 . For field testing primary injection methods, follow NEMA AB4 guidelines .
2 . Calibration response in short delay pickup range is the same for 1, 2, or 3 poles in series .
3 . There is a memory effect that can act to shorten the long delay . The memory effect comes into play if a current above the long delay pickup value exists for a time and then is cleared by the tripping of a downstream device or the circuit breaker itself . A subsequent overload will cause the circuit breaker to trip in shorter time than normal . The amount of time reduction is inverse to the amount of time that has elapsed since the previous overload . Approximately five minutes is required between overloads to completely reset the memory .
4 . The end of the curve is determined by the interrupting rating of the circuit breaker . See above tabulation .
5 . This curve is shown as a multiple of the Long Delay Pickup Setting, (Ir) . This Ir setting is programmed in primary value amperes via a Breaker Interface Module, or OPTIMizer, or a Remote PC (IMPACC System) .
6 . The Long Delay Pickup Point (indicated by a flashing LED on the product) nominally occurs above 115% of the Ir current, with a +/- 5% tolerance . The short delay settings have conventional 100%, +/- 5% as the pickup points .
7 . For additional curve tolerances contact Eaton .
8 . Total clearing times shown include the response times of the trip unit, the breaker opening, and the quenching of the arcing current .
