Understanding ETM Trip Unit (Current and Power Ranges)

Understanding ETM Trip Unit (Current and Power Ranges)


The ETM trip unit requires an external 24V DC control power supply to power the display and enable Modbus communication. Without this control power, neither the LCD nor the communications will function.

With control power applied, the trip unit will measure and display current values. The exact minimum current threshold that the LCD screen can reliably register has been specified in the documentation


This image translates to:
Ammeter display limits:
→ Minimum current ≥ 0.3 × In
Maximum current ≤ 10 × In

The current meter display range is limited between 30% of the rated current and up to 10 times the rated current.
For ETM products, the minimum measurable current is 0.3
× In.
