Screw in and tighten three trip unit retaining screws
(center first) and the screw for the fourth pole current

(see Fig. 4).

Finish installation of the 4-pole Trip Unit by following the
instructions in Section 3.5.

3.3 Ground

Unit Installation

3.3.1 General

Ground fault trip units are supplied from the factory with a

wire harness with pigtail lead connections for a neutral
current sensor (white and grey wires) and a ground fault
alarm relay (yellow and green wires). A neutral current
sensor is provided with each trip unit, and the ground fault
alarm relay is ordered and shipped separately if required.

If the alarm relay is not required, the green and yellow
leads should be cut off before the trip unit is installed in

the breaker.

Electronic RMS Ground Fault Trip Units detect ground

fault currents through Residual Sensing. They are not
designed to use source ground or zero sequence ground
fault sensing methods. If the system neutral is grounded,

but no phase to neutral loads are used, the neutral current
sensor is not necessary. In that case, the white and grey
leads on the trip unit should be cut off before installation.

If the system neutral is grounded and phase to neutral
loads are used, then the neutral current sensor (see Fig. 5)
must be used. It should be connected to the breaker

according to the diagram in Fig. 6. It has the same turns

ratio as the phase current sensors in the trip unit.

Note: The polarity of the sensor connections is

critical. Always observe the polarity markings on the

installation drawings. The polarity markings are
identified as white dots on the

items, if required, must be ordered

separately.

3.3.2 Installation

Plug the wire harness supplied for the neutral current

sensor and ground fault alarm relay (white, grey, yellow
and green wires) into the connector located in the right
pole of the trip unit. With the correct polarity the harness
should snap into place. Do not force the harness into the
connector with the wrong polarity.

Remove trip unit outer pole screws and red plastic

washers from the breaker frame. Discard red plastic
washers (fig. 7). For the M-frame, also remove the load
end trip unit mounting screws from the frame

(fig. 7a).
