Abstract

A molded case circuit breaker containing a digital trip unit is field-tested for both electronically-induced as well as mechanically-induced test conditions by means of a portable test kit unit. The test kit circuit components are contained within a miniature test plug that temporarily connects with the circuit breaker trip unit by insertion within the rating plug receptacle formed within the circuit breaker cover. A compact power supply plug is received within the test plug to provide operating power to the circuit breaker trip unit components and associated accessories.
