Electronic Trip Units For Siemens SB Encased Systems Breakers
Trip Units
Two types of trip unit are available for the SB breakers. The TL
(standard) Trip Unit features a full range of industry standard
protective settings. The new, high-performance Systems
Breaker Energy Communicating Trip Unit (SB-EC Trip Unit)
offers advanced metering, protective relaying, time-stamped
logs, and power quality monitoring functions, including an inte-
gral keypad and LCD graphical display for menu-driven system
configuration and real-time voltage and current waveform dis-
plays. Both units offer unique models to provide an efficient
combination of options versus cost for each application.

Interchangeable Rating Plugs
SB trip units use field interchangeable rating plugs. This allows
the ampere rating of the circuit breaker to be field-modified
and provides security against indiscriminate changes in the
breaker’s ampere rating.
Advanced True RMS Current Sensing
The TL Trip Unit and the SB-EC Trip Unit feature advanced
digital-processing techniques to measure the true heating
content of the current waveform. This True RMS value of
current measurement virtually eliminates nuisance tripping
due to the presence of harmonics on the distribution bus.
TL Trip Unit
The TL Trip Unit offers adjustable LI, LIG, LSI, and LSIG trip
settings and accessory ammeter and load alarm or ground
current meter with alarm output.
SB-EC Trip Unit
The Energy Communicating trip unit for the SB offers local and
remote programming of all overcurrent trip functions as well
as power and energy measurement, advanced protective
relays and alarms and power quality functions (harmonics and
waveform capture and display).
NOTE: For details on these trip units, refer to the Siemens
TL Trip Unit Bulletin IPIM-2203 and the Siemens SB-EC Trip
Unit Bulletins IPIM-2208.

NOTE:
Earlier model trip units may use (I

Rating Plug Designator and (I

trip unit are shown at left. Note, however, that the
change in designation has no effect on the switch
settings used for selecting Continuous, Long Time,
Short Time, Instantaneous, and Ground Fault
pickup and delay values.
