Ekip N-LS/I
Main characteristics:
Q available for XT2 and XT4 in the four-pole version;
Q protections:
– against overload (L): I
1
=0.4...1xIn adjustable protection threshold, with inverse long-time trip
curve;
– against delayed short-circuits (S): 1...10xIn adjustable protection threshold, with adjustable
trip curve (as an alternative to I protection);
– against instantaneous short-circuit (I): 1...10xIn adjustable protection threshold, with instan-
taneous operating time (as an alternative to S protection);
– neutral can be set in the OFF or ON positions, at 100% or at 160% of the phases;
Q manual setting using the relative dip-switches on the front of the trip unit, which allow the set-
tings to be made even when the trip unit is off;
Q LED:
– LED on with steady green light indicating that the trip unit is supplied correctly. The LED
comes on when the current exceeds 0.32xIn;
– 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;
- LS/I: 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;
– Ekip N-LS/I is equipped with a device that detects whether the opening solenoid has discon-
nected. Signalling is made by all the 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;
– for connecting the Ekip T&P unit, which allows the measurements to be read and the trip test
to be carried out;
Q thermal memory which can be activated by Ekip T&P;
Q self-supply from 0.32xIn.
