 Interrupting ratings shown based on breaker equipped with integral Digitrip RMS trip unit. Interruption ratings for non-automatic breakers are
equal to the published short-time withstand rating. These interruption ratings are based on the standard duty cycle consisting of an open operation, 41
a 15-second interval and a close-open operation, in succession, with delayed tripping in case of short-delay devices. The standard duty cycle for
short-time ratings consists of maintaining the rated current for two periods of 1/2 seconds each, with a 15-second interval of zero current between


the two periods. 42

General Description
The Series NRX Ethernet
31 communications adapter module
is an accessory that operates as a
communicating device in conjunction
32 with a compatible Series NRX trip
unit/breaker via an Ethernet network.
33 The catalog number of this product
is ECAM.
The Ethernet communications adapter
34 module provides Web-enabled
monitoring and control of the Series
NRX trip unit metering, logging, and
35 control functions using a standard web
browser. Features include display of
measured current, voltage, power,
36 energy and alarms; command,
event and data logging; configuration
of set point, alarm and logging
37 parameters; and control functions
such as open/close breaker.
38 In addition to Web server capability,
data communication is provided in
Modbus TCP/IP and SNMP protocols.
39 Additionally, the Series NRX Ethernet
Communications Adapter Module
provides data communications to the
40 Eaton Power Xpert Software as an Trend Graph View
easy means of centralizing and
gathering data for long-term data
41 archival, analysis and trending.
