EntelliGuard G devices are available in all standard,

100% rated, ANSI, UL and IEC ratings in both fixed
and drawout designs. Standard devices are also
offered in 4 pole designs. No compromise (e.g.,
derating) is necessary in the system protection

Entelliguard TU Trip Unit System
Long time protection Figure 3.4 Thermal Characteristic: Maximum and
The EntelliGuard TU offers two different shapes for Minimum Long Time Delay Bands for a
Long Time protection curves. Each type of curve is 1000A Long Time Pickup
available with 22 different time delays. The shapes
may be described as thermal type I2t
characteristics and fuse-shaped I4t lines.
The nominal Long Time pickup is computed from
the trip rating plug value (In) multiplied by the Long
Time pickup setting. Long Time pickup setting
multipliers are user settings and may range from
0.5 to 1.0 in increments of 0.05.
The actual Long Time pickup is 112% of the nominal
setting (Ir). 112% is to compensate for the Long
Time Pickup Tolerance of ±10% that is drawing as
“actual value/1+ tolerance.” For a nominal 1000A
Long Time pickup, the actual trip setting is 1120A,
drawn as a vertical band between 1120/1.1 and
1120/0.9, or 1018A and 1244A.

Thermal long time overcurrent

The thermal I2t shape is similar to the typical curve
of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker and matches
the shape of many overcurrent devices used in
industry today. The typical shape and range of
settings may be seen in Figure 3.4. The range of
time delays is shown in Table 3.2 at various
multiples of nominal (100%) current setting. Drawn
bands also include a mechanical constant time to
account for circuit breaker operating and clearing

CB Shown “Unrestrained” The EntelliGuard TU trip system is composed of
trip units and trip rating plugs along with the
sensors and wiring provided in the EntelliGuard G
circuit breaker to support the trip. Rating plugs are
used to lower the Long Time adjustment range of
the sensor provided in the circuit breaker.
The EntelliGuard TU trip rating plugs are unique in
that they can be used with multiple trip units and
circuit breakers within a specific sensor range,
rather than only with a single specific sensor. The
trip rating plug catalog number, shown in Figure
3.14, identifies the rating as well as the minimum
and maximum sensor rating the plug may be used
with. Table 3.9 lists the two-digit codes used
within the trip rating plug catalog numbers and the
sensor current ratings to which they are mapped.
Table 3.10 lists trip rating plugs available for each

Accessories
A wide range of optional accessories are Figure 4.1 Accessory Mounting
interchangeable across all EntelliGuard G power
circuit breakers, regardless of nominal rating or
envelope/frame size. As shown in Figure 4.1, each
accessory incorporates easy-fit design features for
quick installation, either at the factory or in the
field.

Note:
Replacement accessories have an “R” at the end of
the catalog number as shown in the tables. All coils
are conformal coated for increased reliability in
humid/damp environments

Motorized spring charging unit

The unique motor/gearbox unit is specially
designed to operate with the full range of
EntelliGuard G breakers. It is easily installed with
three heavy-duty bolts. After a breaker close
operation, the unit automatically recharges the
spring and makes it ready for immediate re-close
should the need arise. High speed recharging
ensures that the springs are fully charged within
approximately three seconds following a release.
All electrically operated (EO) ANSI/UL breakers are
equipped with “Spring Charged” contacts for
status indication (Table 4 1).

Circuit breaker closing coils – standard and

command
Two, easy-to-fit, clip-on closing coil options with
simple, plug-in connections are available. Both
options offer electrical remote release of the
spring charged closing mechanism. Both options
include a standard anti-pump safety feature
ensuring that the close signal must be released
before further close commands are allowed. The
Command Close Coil additionally provides for local
breaker close and remote breaker close over
communications via the EntelliGuard Trip Unit
(Table 4 2).
