Ekip M-LIU
Main characteristics:
Q available for XT2 and XT4 in the three-pole version, this device protects motors. The L protection
function protects the motor against overloads, in accordance with the indications and classes
defi ned by standard IEC 60947-4-1;
Q protections:
– against overloads (L): 0.4...1xIn adjustable threshold. The operating time is established by
choosing the operating class defi ned by Standard IEC 60947-4-1: Class 3E, 5E, 10E, 20E;
– against short-circuits (I): 6...13xIn adjustable threshold with instantaneous operating time;
– against phase loss (U): the protection can be selected either in the ON or OFF position. When
the selector is in the ON position, the threshold is 50% I
1
, with fi xed operating time;
Q manual setting using the relative dip-switches on the front of the release;
Q LED:
– LED on with steady green light indicating that the trip unit is supplied correctly. The LED
comes on when the current exceeds 0.2xIn;
– red LED for each protection:
- L: LED with steady red light, indicates pre-alarm for current exceeding 0.9xI
1
;
- L: LED with fl ashing red light, indicates alarm for current exceeding setted threshold;
- LIU: LED with steady red light, shows that the protection has tripped. After the circuit-
breaker has opened, connect the Ekip TT or Ekip T&P accessory to fi nd out which protec-
tion function tripped the trip unit;
– release Ekip M-LIU is equipped with a trip coil disconnection detection device that detects
whether the opening solenoid has disconnected. Signalling is made by all the red LEDs
fl ashing simultaneously;
Q test connector on the front of the release:
– to connect the Ekip TT trip test unit, which allows trip test, LED test and signalling about the
latest trip happened;
– to connect the Ekip T&P unit, which allows the measurements to be read, the trip test to be
conducted and the protection function test to be carried out;
Q thermal memory always active;
Q self-supply starting from a minimum current of 0.2xIn.
