NOTICE
If required, internal accessory installation should be
done before the circuit breaker is mounted and connected. Refer to individual accessory instruction
leaflets.
Make sure that the trip unit is suitable for the intended
installation by comparing nameplate data with any existing equipment and system requirements. Inspect the trip
unit for completeness, and check for damage before
installing it in the circuit breaker frame.

NOTICE
If installing a 4-pole trip unit, remove conductor bar
from the right-hand (fourth) pole (Figure 2). Discard
the conductor but keep the retaining screw.
Make sure circuit breaker base conductors are positioned in slots in base (see Figure 3).
Remove screws from shunt plate inserts (see Figure 3).
NOTICE
The trip unit outer screws may be placed in the trip
unit conductor holes at this time. If preferred, a
magnetic screwdriver may be used to position the
screws when the trip unit is in the base.

To install the ground fault alarm and neutral current sensor connector printed circuit board, an accessory switch
must be installed in order to provide a support bracket. If
the auxiliary switch supplied with the trip unit will be
used, install it in the right pole of the breaker per IL
29C122.
NOTICE
See wiring instructions in Section 3.3.3 for special
restrictions on accessory wiring for ground fault
breakers.
Next, insert the four-position connector on the printed
circuit board into the receptacle in the trip unit and push
the board down onto the bracket (see Figure 9).
View from right side of breaker.
Finish installation of the ground fault trip unit by following the instructions in Section 3.5.
NOTICE
See wiring instructions below for special restrictions on accessory wiring for ground fault breakers.
Then install the ground fault alarm and neutral current sensor connector printed circuit board as
described above.

unit. Position the label marked Fourth Pole Protected
in the location shown in Figure 10.

NOTICE
Since the Digitrip RMS 310 Trip Units derive their
operating power from the phase currents, and not
from the neutral current, passing current through
the neutral sensor will not properly test the ground
fault feature.
When testing the lowest Ground Fault Pick Up (GFPU)
setting, 1xIG, the indicated connections in Figure 15-4a
must be used. For single phase currents that are
20% of the sensor current rating, the trip unit will not
power up. Therefore, Ground Fault testing cannot be
performed in the usual manner.
The connections displayed in Figure 15-4a and 15-4b
effectively multiply the power up current by a factor of 3.
With this setup, two of the three currents will cancel and
the third current should cause the breaker to trip at the
lowest setting.

Tested By:
For adjustable rating plugs (Table 1-2), the primary current carrying conductors used with the breaker must be
sized to correspond with the maximum setting of the rating plug, in accordance with National Electrical Code
requirements.
The Long Delay protection function of the trip unit is set
at the rating plug value (In).The Short Delay and
Instantaneous protection functions are set as a multiple
of In. The Ground Fault protection function is independent of In.
