Spectra® RMS Circuit Breakers with microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit

The microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit is the latest and most advanced trip unit available in the Spectra line of
molded case circuit breakers. The trip unit design is based on the EntelliGuard trip unit platform. The
microEntelliGuardTM Trip Unit incorporates many of the advanced features and protective functions available
on the EntelliGuard Trip Unit and is available in the 600-amp Spectra G and 1200-amp Spectra K frames.
Spectra breakers with microEntelliGuardTM Trip Units allow you to select the enhanced system protection,
coordination, and communication options required for the application.

The programmable contact output connections on

the SDCJBBC are dedicated if ground fault alarm and/
or reduced energy let-through features are optioned
in the trip unit . Otherwise, the output contacts can
be programmed to signal on various overcurrent trip
conditions and protective relays.
Power Supplies
An outside source of 24Vdc control power is required
for communications and waveform capture. Control
power is also required for programming the trip unit
under no-load or low-load conditions (less than 20%
of sensor rating). Control power connections to the
breaker can be made through the terminal block or the
distribution cable junction box. Five different power
supply plate assemblies are available. The power
supplies are rated 24 watts (+24 Vdc at 1.0 amps)
and have the capacity to power 20 Spectra breakers/
trip units over a length of 40 feet (total distance from
power supply to last breaker). The power supply plate
assemblies include the power supply, fuse protection
and a control power transformer for ac source voltages
over 240 VAC. All of these components are mounted on
a base plate. Table 7 lists the available power supply

This set point is used to establish the short time pickup

important to note that changes to the long time pickup
value affect the short time pickup value. The available
range of short time pickup values is 1.5 to 9.0 in
increments of 0.5. The short time pickup parameter can
also be turned OFF. This is accomplished in the short
