Introduction
Masterpact™ circuit breakers are available in three frame sizes:
•
T-frame circuit breakers: rated up to 800 A (ANSI Certified), up to 1600 A (UL
®
Listed), and up to
1600 A (IEC Rated).
•
W-frame circuit breakers: rated up to 4000 A (ANSI Certified), up to 3000 A (UL Listed), and up to
4000 A (IEC Rated).
•
Y-frame circuit breakers: rated up to 5000 A (ANSI Certified), up to 6000 A (UL Listed), and up to
6300 A (IEC Rated).
Within each range, several sensor plugs are available to determine the maximum trip rating of each
circuit breaker. In addition to a sensor plug, an adjustable rating plug is available to get lower ampacity
than that available with the sensor plug.
Masterpact circuit breakers can be equipped with a variety of Micrologic™ electronic trip unit
configurations, ranging from basic circuit protection to more advanced relay protection and power
metering capabilities. Additionally all electronic trip units within the new Micrologic family are field
interchangeable and upgradeable. Each control unit is also equipped with an interchangeable and
upgradeable adjustable rating plug which is used to select the long-time pickup setting of the circuit
breaker.
NOTE: Masterpact circuit breakers are ordered by sensor plug rating, not ampere trip rating. The trip
rating of the circuit breaker is determined by the setting of the adjustable rating plug. Sensor plugs and
rating plugs are field replaceable.
