An electronic trip unit is based on the following concepts: 
●  Complete measurement of the current in the phases L1, L2 and L3, with N and currents 
to ground optional 
●  Rogowski coil 
–  Very precise measurement of the current 
–  Better ground-fault protection because the vectorial sum is more exact 
●  Evaluation of the current measurement values and constant comparison with the tripping 
limits 
●  Tripping by means of a maglatch
