Rating plug
Series NRX circuit breaker trip units use a fixed type rating plug. The
current rating of the rating plug must be equal to or less than the
current rating as established by the frame rating module and the breaker
maximum rated current (Iu) as listed on the name plate in (Figure 1).
If the circuit breaker is carrying current and the rating plug is removed,
a trip will occur. Make certain the rating plug is secured in position.
Current sensors
Three Rogowski coil type current sensors are installed on the load
terminals at the bottom rear of the circuit breaker. The sensors furnish
the trip unit with a signal and the energy required to trip the circuit
breaker.
A neutral current sensor is available for customer installation, and must
be ordered separately.
Frame rating module
The frame rating module is a device used to establish the maximum
RMS current that can be continuously carried. The frame rating
module, mounted just below the trip unit, also acts as a mechanical
means to reject the insertion of a rating plug with an unacceptable
current rating (Figure 6).
Trip actuator
The low-energy trip actuator is a small electromagnetic device that
provides the necessary mechanical force to initiate the tripping action
of the circuit breaker. The electronic trip unit provides a pulse to the
coil of the trip actuator, allowing the mechanical tripping action to take
place. The trip actuator is reset by the operating mechanism.
Fixed high instantaneous non-adjustable trip
Series NRX circuit breakers have a fixed instantaneous non-adjustable
setting. This fixed instantaneous trip will initiate a trip at a high current
peak which depends on the circuit breaker type and rating. This setting
is always active, regardless of the instantaneous setting.
Non-Automatic Circuit Breaker
Series NRX is available in a non-automatic configuration. It is derived
from the corresponding NRX automatic breaker but does not include
the Digitrip trip unit, Rogowski coil type current sensors, and the high
instantaneous trip feature. The overall dimensions and the capability
of mounting most accessory items are maintained. Non-automatic
breakers are tested in keeping with IEC 60947-2 requirements.

Figure 26. Secondary Point Identifications
Secondary contacts and connection diagrams
A maximum of 92 secondary wiring connection points are available,
each dedicated to a specific function. The number of secondary blocks
mounted depends on a number of considerations, such as whether
the circuit breaker is electrically or manually operated and how many
features are required. All necessary customer secondary connection
points are accessible without removing the breaker’s front cover. Each
connection point is permanently identified.
Customer secondary wiring contact points are identified on the
product (Figure 26). For a drawout breaker this marking is laser etched
into the Arc Hood of the drawout cassette (Figure 3). For a fixed
mount breaker this is a label applied to the top of the front cover of
the breaker (Figure 5).
The connection diagram and specific secondary contact information for
all Series NRX circuit breakers using Digitrip trip units can be found in
the Series NRX Wiring Diagram document TD01301014E.
