Definition of terms

The terms listed and defined are displayed in the Test Kit and are used throughout this guide.

Table A-21 Definition of terms

Term

Definition

ATT

Automatic Trip Time Test.

CT

Current Transformer—a sensor that measures current. There are normally 3 CTs, one
for each phase, and an optional neutral CT.

CT Compensation

The system is designed to compensate for particular characteristics of the CTs used
in the Entellisys System in order to improve accuracy. If a user is testing the system
through secondary injection (input into the CT inputs of the EntelliGuard Messenger),
then the unique compensation algorithm must be disabled or test results will be
incorrect.

CT Rating

Rating of connected Current Transformer for that circuit breaker.

DAQ

Data Acquisition

Fault/Fault Level

The period of time and/or the voltage current condition during a fault.

Flux Shifter

One of two means to actuate the circuit breaker. The flux shifter is used to open (and
lockout) the circuit breaker when the CPU or EntelliGuard Messenger issues a trip
signal.

Frame Rating

Frame Size or Rating of the Circuit Breaker.

GF

Ground Fault overcurrent protection function

GF Defeat

Some tests like single phase tests, will trigger GF trips unintentionally. Therefore, it
may be desirable to disable or defeat GF temporarily during these tests.

HC

High Current Alarm protection function

HMI

Human Machine Interface

IOC

Instantaneous overcurrent protection function

LT

Long Time overcurrent protection function

Manual Breaker
Injection

User must manually setup the circuit breaker configuration and power line
characteristics to be injected into the system. Might be desired for a quick test.

NAN

Not a number—error message that gets displayed.

No Trip Test

A test that does not cause the circuit breaker to trip

OF

Over frequency relay protection function

OV

Overvoltage relay protection function
