MicroVersaTrip Plus™ and MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units

Chapter 3. Metering Mode

21

3-1 Overview

The metering mode displays parameter values for that part
of the electrical system controlled by the breaker’s
MicroVersaTrip Plus or MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Unit.
Both currents and voltages are computed as true rms val-
ues. There is no loss of accuracy even in the presence of
high levels of harmonics. All metering displays are
updated once each second. Accuracies and resolutions are
described in Section 1-8 and Table 6.

All values except frequency are displayed to three signifi-
cant figures. For example, phase currents might be dis-
played as

60.7 AMPS

,

492 AMPS

, or

1.22 KA

.

The Trip Unit metering displays are appropriate to the
actual configuration ordered. All MicroVersaTrip Plus and
MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units include current metering.

Two configurations of the MicroVersaTrip PM Trip Units
(with PM and M suffixes in their catalog numbers) have
the full complement of metering displays.

The Trip Unit must be provided with auxiliary power to
display metered values. This can come from internal bat-
tery power, from a MicroVersaTrip Portable Power pack,
from an external +24 Vdc power supply, or by energizing
the breaker to at least 20% of its sensor load.

3-2 Metering Mode Operation

Metering mode is reached by pressing

FUNCTION

until

METER

appears in the upper-right corner of the display.

Metering mode always begins with the phase currents. The
sequence in which the metered values appear is illustrated
in Figure 41.
