11WL Circuit Breaker Selection and Application Guide
WL Circuit Breaker
Electronic Trip Unit (ETU)
Power metering function
In addition to excellent protection capabilities, the WL ETU has
unparalleled power metering functionality. True RMS current
sensing for metering is obtained from the same current sensors
used for overload protection. ETU power metering can measure
the following:
Potential transformers (PTs) are required to step down the
supply voltage to a level that is suitable for local input
connection to the breaker. PTs must be wired to the secondary
connections of the breaker and configured for three-phase,
three-wire or three-phase, four-wire supply system. The
measured values can be sent to a central database for
future power analysis or consumption reports.
Metering is not field installable – it must be configured in
the initial breaker purchase.
Event log
The event log is very extensive. Information regarding the
list of events can be found in the WL operation manual or
communication guide. Some of the event log categories are:
• Warnings
• Trip Logs
• Set-points
• Maintenance Detail
• CubicleBus Conditions
• Waveform Displays
