CNSX Accessory Trip Unit Selection

CNSX is our hot-sell product that has a dual-breaking contact structure and an energy release system to ensure stable and reliable protection, and has excellent current-limiting characteristics as well as high breaking capacity. It has two mains kinds of tripping unit: thermal-magnetic type and electronic type.

A detailed introduction to the thermal-magnetic or electronic trip units for you to understand and easily to choose.

□Thermal-magnetic trip unit

Protection:

1.Overload protection: Thermal protection (Ir)

Overload protection has the following characteristics:

♦ lr can be adjusted in amps from 0.7 to 1 times the rating of the trip unit(16A to 250A),

♦ corresponding to settings from 11 to 250A for the range of trip units.

2.Short-circuit protection(Im): 

Short-circuit protection has the following characteristics:

♦Magnetic protection (Im) Short-circuit protection with a fixed or adjustable pick-up lm that initiates instantaneous tripping if exceeded.

♦ TM-D: fixed pick-up, Im, for 16-160A ratings and adjustable from 5 to 10 x In for 200 and 250A rating

□Electronic trip unit

Protection:

Settings are made using the adjustment dials with fine adjustment possibilities.
1. Overload protection: long time protection (lr)
♦lnverse time protection against overloads with an adjustable current pick-up lr set using a dial and a non-adjustable time delay tr.
2. Short-circuit protection: Short-time protection with fixed time delay (Isd)
♦Protection with an adjustable pick-up Isd.Tripping takes place after a very short delay used to allow discrimination with the downstream device.
3.  Short circuit instantaneous protection: (li)
♦lnstantaneous short-circuit protection with a fixed pick-up.
