Application Flexibility
In switchboards, motor control centers and lighting, power and customized control panelboards, General Electric
molded case circuit breakers are used to provide reliable circuit protection. Molded case circuit breakers in individual
enclosures are also used in numerous applications.
Minimum Downtime
Downtime is reduced and fuse replacement is eliminated with circuit breakers. In case of overload or short circuit,
the breaker trips, opening the circuit and protecting the conductors. When normal conditions are restored, the
breaker can be closed (ON) again.
Trip-Free Mechanism
The breakers trip-free mechanism opens the breaker contacts under overload or short circuit conditions, even with
the breaker handle held in the ON position.
Eliminates Single-Phasing
Circuit breakers eliminate single-phasing. When an overload or short circuit occurs on any one conductor, a common
trip bar simultaneously disconnects all three conductors of a three-phase circuit.
Easy System Upgrading
With General Electric circuit breakers, the circuit can be uprated, even after the breaker has been installed.
Interchangeable trips provide a wide range of ratings within the same frame size.
Accessory Functions
Application flexibility of molded case circuit breakers is enhanced by a breaker accessory line. Remote closing or
opening, undervoltage protection, indication of tripped condition at a remote location, electrical or mechanical
interlocking, automatic reclosing, and primary or sequential operation are some of the functions practical with accessories.
Space Savings
Space savings can be an important factor in selecting General Electric molded case circuit breakers as equipment
components. Higher rated breakers in particular, offer major space economies over fused switches.
Interrupting Ability
Interrupting ratings of General Electric molded case circuit breakers are based on actual short circuit tests.
Breakers are rated for RMS symmetrical ac amperes and for maximum dc amperes.
Standards and Specifications
General Electric molded case circuit breakers meet standards established by Underwriters Laboratories, National
Electric Manufacturers Association, Federal Specifications, Institute of Electronic Engineers, National Electric Code
and General Electric Companys own high quality standards.

Set points for all trip unit functions can be entered into the trip system via the 5-function key pad and LCD display.
When working in Setup Mode, the trip unit must be provided with control power from the internal battery, or the
MicroVersaTrip Portable Power Pack or by loading the breaker to at least 20% of its sensor value. While still in
Setup Mode, settings can be automatically scanned by depressing the VALUE key for 5 seconds.

Memory Circuit
Because of the highly intermittent and erratic nature of arcing ground
faults, a memory circuit has been incorporated in all MicroVersaTrip Plus
ground fault-sensing circuits as standard. The memory circuit integrates
arcing fault current with time, essentially summing the intermittent
ground current spikes. In the diagrams, it can be seen how the memory
function works.
Diagram A shows a typical ground fault with half-cycles, whole cycles and
multiple cycles missing, as normally occurs.
Diagram B shows trip response of a typical ground fault function, which
does not include memory. The breaker never trips because the time delay
circuits are reset with every missing cycle.
Diagram C shows response of MicroVersaTrip Plus ground fault circuits to
the same ground fault; the circuits memory carries through the missing
cycles and generates a trip signal after the preset time delay.

Test Jack
The Test Jack located on the front of the rating plug accepts a test cable
supplied with a portable, battery operated (or 120Vac) test kit separately
available. The test kit will test the circuit breaker while the circuit breaker
is carrying load, and provides either a trip or no trip test. The test kit will
simulate a time-over current condition for the long-time, short-time and
ground fault functions. It will also read trip unit switch settings and provide
a report on the trip unit self-test feature.

To meet increased demands for electrical service by residential, commercial, and industrial users, and to reduce system
power losses and cost, larger low-impedance transformers are being installed by power companies. The result is systems with higher available short circuit currents. Traditional branch circuit equipment cannot handle the fault currents available in these systems which can reach 150,000 rms symmetrical amperes or more.
THLC current-limiting circuit breakers (CLB) react far more quickly to high-level short circuits than conventional
breakers. In fact, the higher the short circuit current, the faster the THLC operates, because of its magnetic repulsion design.
Example: if a 150,000 RMS symmetrical ampere short circuit at 480 volts ac were to threaten your system, the
THLC1 would interrupt it in just 3 milliseconds. At the same time, the THLC1 would limit peak let-through current to
less than 42,000 amperes only 13% of the destructive energy that would flow through without THLC1 protection,
and a small enough current to be controlled by standard series-connected circuit breakers.
But a fast break isnt enough; a CLB must control arc voltage quickly and efficiently, too.
GE THLC current limiting breakers force the arc into patented, U-shaped arc plates where sufficient voltage is
developed to dominate the short circuit fast. During a 480 volt interruption, for example, the THLC1 quickly
counters the driving voltage with a peak arc-voltage in the range of 800 volts sufficient voltage to quench the short
circuit without causing unwanted dielectric breakdown elsewhere down the line.
And for long, reliable life, the THLC is also equipped with
special baffles to vent hot gases out of the breaker during
the arc-quenching process.

Mag-Break motor circuit protectors provides accurate and fast clearing of faults on motor circuits including low
level faults the type most prevalent in motor installations. Mag-Break serves to minimize damage to motors and
motor control apparatus in addition to protecting motor branch circuit conductors. Continuous current ratings and
adjustable instantaneous trip ranges have been designed to meet NEC requirements concerning motor full load
and locked rotor current. The Mag-Break instantaneous trip point can be set low and precisely (just above asym.
motor inrush) assuring fault protection and eliminating nuisance tripping.
Each pole of the Mag-Break motor circuit protector contains a current sensing element to trip the breaker instantaneously when the preselected current setting is exceeded. Mag-Breaks unique magnetic system permits independent
factory calibration of both the Hi and Lo ends of the trip range. This provides field adjustability with
6
accuracy and repeatability at all Mag-Break trip scale positions.

In addition to the two independent factory calibrations, Mag-Break is field adjustable by screwdriver
adjustments on the front of each breaker. The field adjustable setting is continuous over the entire
range from Hi to Lo, and each breaker rating label contains a table converting setting position to amperes. An overcurrent on any pole will cause all three poles to trip simultaneously, thus preventing costly single phasing problems.

Bell Alarm
A motor-operated mechanism
can open, close, or reset a
breaker remotely. This convenient
attachment mounts integrally
with the breaker, without modification to the breaker or its handle.
Just lift the cover of the accessory
mechanism to operate the breaker
manually. Breaker ON-OFF is
indicated in the operating
mechanism cover.
Mechanical Interlocking
Mechanical interlocks permit only
one of two interconnected circuit
breakers in a switchboard to be on at
a time. Both circuit breakers can be
OFF at the same time.
The walking beam interlock interconnects two circuit breakers from
the rear, making it ideal for use in
applications where a dead front would
make it impossible to mount a mechanism on the face of the breaker.
The face mounted interlock interconnects the handles of two circuit
breakers. This makes it possible to use
the interlock with a motor operator.
Auxiliary Switch
An auxiliary switch can be used
to operate other accessories,
indicating lights, relays, automatic reset, etc. It is available
with one to four SPDT (form C)
elements for flexibility. Switches
open and close as the breaker is
either manually or remotely
tripped or turned OFF.

Molded case circuit breakers are circuit protective devices that primarily perform two functions: (1) manual
switching operation to open and close a circuit by means of a toggle handle and (2) automatic opening of the
circuit under sustained overload and/or short circuit conditions. Circuit breakers inherently provide the automatic
protective function of opening the circuit under abnormal sustained overload, or short circuit conditions, without
the use of fuses. When a circuit breaker opens to clear a fault, the toggle handle goes to a TRIPPED position midway between the ON and OFF positions, thus clearly indicating that a circuit breaker has opened. When the cause
of the fault has been removed, the circuit breaker can again be closed simply by moving the toggle handle to the
RESET position, and then moving the handle to the ON position.
Circuit breakers have an advantage over fusible elements. A fault on one pole of a multi-pole breaker actuates a
common trip bar that opens all poles simultaneously, thus avoiding single phasing a motor circuit, as could occur
in a fusible device. Molded case circuit breakers are trip free in construction. This means that the circuit breaker
contacts cannot be held closed against a fault condition. Molded case circuit breakers are designed to protect
insulated conductors against unsafe overheating that would ultimately damage the insulation and conductor.
Thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breakers are not designed to provide motor running overload protection.
This function is normally performed by overload relays supplied in manual or magnetic motor starters. However,
for infrequently started motors, MicroVersaTrip Plus equipped molded case circuit breakers can be used to provide
motor overload, overcurrent, and ground fault protection.
Molded case circuit breakers meet UL Standard 489 covering Molded Case Circuit Breakers, Molded Case
Switches, and Circuit Breaker Enclosures.
UL Standard 489 makes provision for two classes of products UL Standard rated and UL 100 percent rated.
The basis of these ratings for molded case and insulated case circuit breakers is as follows:
A. Standard rated under UL 489
1. Circuit breakers are rated to carry 100 percent of their nameplate current continuously
in free air at 25C when cabled per Table 31.1.
2. Enclosed circuit breakers are rated to carry 100 percent of their nameplate current
intermittently (up to 3 hours maximum) and 80 percent continuously, with the enclosure
in a 25C ambient, and cabled per Table 32.1.
3. Group mounted circuit breakers may require derating of the circuit breaker and cable in
room ambient temperatures other than 25C and with cable other than specified in
Table 32.1.

Interrupting Ratings
There is a simple relationship between the power factor of a short-circuited circuit and its X/R ratio. It is:
Power Factor (in Percent) = R x 100
Z
and: Z = R2 + X2
therefore PF =
R2
+ X2
R = Circuit Resistance
X = Circuit Reactance
Z = Circuit Impedance
x 100
Interrupting ratings not UL listed are based on tests per NEMA Standard AB-1 Molded Case Circuit Breakers.
The basic rating is given in RMS symmetrical amperes, the preferred basis for selection and application.
In dc applications, values of UL listed interrupting ratings are maximum amperes.

Note: The single pole interrupting ratings shown are the UL listed values for three
pole devices and are not necessarily the maximum capability of the device.
Single pole interrupting capability must be considered when molded case circuit
breakers are used on ungrounded or resistance grounded distribution systems.
Note: For series-connected ratings with main circuit breakers or fuses, refer to publication DET-008.

Notes:
1. Direct current interrupting ratings are based on a system fault time constant of 8 ms (milliseconds) or less.
2. Multi-pole ratings (2 or 3) are based on midpoint grounded systems with one pole in positive leg and one pole
in negative leg, or end grounded systems with two or three poles wired in series in the ungrounded leg.
3. Single-pole ratings are for application in ungrounded systems.
