– Trip target (trip type)
– Trip information (magnitude and phase)
– Trip operations counters

• Metering display

– Phase current (selectable among phases)

The optional functions available on both types of
Trip Unit are as follows:

• High-range (fixed) instantaneous overcurrent

protection

• Short-time protection, with or without I

1-4 Trip Unit Catalog Numbers

A simple catalog-numbering system defines all of the
standard and optional Trip Unit functions for each
of the two series of Trip Units. Catalog number keys
are found in Appendix 1 for AKR breakers,
Appendix 2 for RMS9C Trip Units in Power Break®
breakers, and in Appendix 3 for RMS9D Trip Units
in Power Break® II breakers. A208LIPMR is an
example of a valid catalog number.

The first character of each catalog number defines
the type of breaker for which it is configured, as
listed in Table 1.

Table 1. Breaker type referred to by first character of Trip Unit

catalog number.

The second character of the catalog number indi-
cates the highest rated phase current transformer
(CT) sensor allowed for that breaker frame, as listed
in Table 2.
