Example:
A Micrologic 5.2 trip unit rated In = 250 A is preset by the dial at 140 A:
The minimum preset value is: 100 A
The fine-tuning range on the keypad is: 90...140 A
tr Time Delay Setting Value
The setting value displayed is the value of the trip time delay for a current of 6 Ir.
The default tr time delay setting value is 0.5 (minimum value) i.e. 0.5 seconds at 6 Ir.
The table below shows the value of the trip time delay (in seconds) according to the current in the load

Trip unit without thermal image: On each current pulse, the trip unit only takes account of the thermal
effect on the pulse under consideration. No tripping occurs despite the build-up in conductor heat rise.
Trip unit with thermal image: The trip unit adds together the thermal effect of successive current
pulses. Tripping intervenes to take account of the actual thermal state of the conductor.

Thermal Memory
Micrologic 5 and 6 trip units incorporate the thermal memory function which ensures that the conductors
are cooled even after tripping: cooling lasts for 20 minutes before or after tripping.

I2t ON/OFF Function
The I2t inverse time curve function is used to improve circuit breaker discrimination. It is particularly
necessary when a protection device using inverse time only, for example a fuse protection device, is
installed downstream.
Example:
The figures below illustrate an example of discrimination between a Compact NSX630 upstream, and a
gG-250 A fuse downstream (calculation performed by the Ecodial software):

Instantaneous Protection
Presentation
Instantaneous protection on Micrologic 5 and 6 trip units is adapted to protecting all types of electrical
distribution application against very high intensity short-circuit currents.
It is identical for Micrologic 5 and 6 trip units.
Operating Principle
Instantaneous protection is definite time. It can be configured as Ii pick-up and without a time delay.
Tripping curve:
No.
