3VT5716-3AA3.-0AA0 switching units. Operation of the trip unit
is controlled by a microprocessor. The trip unit is fitted with a A A kA
thermal memory that can be disabled by turning the switch on 250, 260 0.8

A practical advantage of the trip unit is a specially designed 3VT9563-6AC00 630 345, 360 T(0) 2.5
tripping characteristic that provides for optimal exploitation of
400, 435 T(t) 4.5

455, 480 6
Another advantage of this trip unit is the simple adjustment of the
tripping characteristic. Set-up includes only rated current and 500, 550 7.5
the tripping level of the short-circuit trip unit. Reaching 80% and 575, 630 10

3VT5716-3AA3.-0AA0 switching unit. The operation of the trip tection Ii
unit is controlled by a microprocessor. The trip unit is equipped
with a thermal memory that can be disabled by turning a switch A A S kA
on the front panel from position T(t) to position T(0). After having 250, 260 1 (TV 1) 0.8
disabled the thermal memory, the thermal trip unit remains ac-
tive. 275, 290 3 (TV 3) 1.5

A practical advantage of the trip unit is a specially designed
tripping characteristic that provides for optimal exploitation of 3VT9563-6AP00 630 345, 360 30 (TV 30) T(0) 2.5
transformers up to 1.5 In. 400, 435 3 (M 3) T(t) 4.5
It is possible to set a total of 8 characteristics on the trip unit. 455, 480 8 (M 8) 6
From these, in mode "M", there are 4 characteristics for motor
500, 550 15 (M 15) 7.5
protection and another 4 characteristics in mode "TV" for protec-
ting transformers and lines. The shape of each characteristic 575, 630 25 (M 25) 10
can be changed using a selector switch. 400, 435 1 (TV 1) 1.25
When one or two phases fail, in the M-characteristic mode, the 455, 480 3 (TV 3) 2
switch will open with a 4 s delay (so-called undercurrent trip-
ping). 500, 550 10 (TV 10) 3
