• Suitable for installation in aggressive environ- ments and secure applications • Available for both distribution and generator pro- tection functions Watchdog The Ekip trip units help ensure high reliability due to an electronic circuit that periodically checks the continuity of internal connections, such as trip coil, rating plug and each current sensor (ANSI 74). In case of an alarm, a message is shown on the dis- play (Ekip Touch) or through LEDs signalization (Ekip Dip). If a protection function intervenes, the unit always checks that the circuit breaker has been opened through auxiliary contacts that indicate the position of the main contacts. Otherwise, the unit creates an alarm (ANSI BF code - Breaker Failure) that can be used to command the opening of the upstream circuit breaker. Ekip trip units are also provided with self-protection against abnormal temperature (OT) to help ensure proper operations.
Protection SACE Emax 2 trip units offer a great variety of over- current protection functions, with thresholds and timing that can be easily set through dip switches or few simple steps directly from the touchscreen display. These units are available in different ver- sions: LI, LSI, LSIG. All the Ekip trip units also include a thermal mem- ory function. The protection unit is able to record the trips which have occurred in the last few min- utes. Since a trip causes overheating, to protect the cables and let them cool down, the trip unit im- poses a shorter delay tripping time in case of a fault helping protect the system against damages due to cumulative overheating.
