This diagram illustrates the Source Ground and Zero Sequence Sensing configuration, specifically for PD 5 and PD 6 units. It features a Ground Fault Secondary Transformer Module connected to an External Sensor and a Grounding Electrode. The module's outputs (J1, J2) are wired to the PXR unit via terminals D6 (SGS) and D7 (SGS) using Blue/Black and Blue/Yellow wires, respectively.

Color Code Wire Colors PD 5 Terminal PD6 Name
Bl/Bk Blue/Black D6 SGS
Bl/Y Blue/Yellow D7 SGS

Notes:

  1. External Sensor: For PD5 use 800:5, 1200:5 or 1600:5 sensor; For PD6 use 1200:5.
  2. See Instruction Leaflet IL012309EN.

Zone Interlock Wiring (Fig. 4)

This diagram depicts the Zone Interlock Wiring system, which allows multiple Power Defense MCCBs (each containing a PXR unit) in different zones to coordinate. The system uses Zin, Zout, and Zcom terminals for inter-zone communication. The wiring is typically a twisted pair cable.

Color Code Wire Colors PD 2, 3, 4 & 5 Terminal PD6 Only Name
Y/Bk Yellow/Black D1 Zin
Y/R Yellow/Red D3 Zout
Y Yellow D2 Zcom

Notes:

  1. Twisted pair (AWG #14 to #20) copper wire. Route the zone interlock wiring separate from power conductors. DO NOT GROUND any zone interlock wiring.
  2. The maximum distance between two farthest breakers on different zones (from the Zout downstream to the Zin upstream terminals) is 250 feet (75 m).
  3. A maximum of 20 loads (Zin, Zout) may be connected in parallel.
  4. Provide a self-interlocking jumper (on zone 3), if coordination is desired with other downstream breakers not providing the Zone Interlock feature.

Maintenance Mode Wiring (Fig. 5)

This diagram illustrates the wiring for placing the PXR Trip Unit into Maintenance Mode. It shows connections for Control Voltage, configurable relays (RLYC, RLY1, RLY2, RLY3), and Maintenance Mode indicators (MM, MM (RTN)). An Enable Switch and Alternate Relay Contacts are also depicted. The system is part of the Power Defense MCCB.

Color Code Wire Colors PD3, 4 & 5 Terminal PD6 Only Name
Bk Black C11 RLYC
Use configurable relay RLY1, 2, 3
Br/W Brown/White C1 MM
Br Brown C2 MM (RTN)

Notes:

  1. PXR20/25 can be placed in Maintenance Mode locally via the two-position switch on the front of the trip unit (models with Arc Flash Reduction Maintenance System™ - ARMS). A blue LED on the PXR also lights to indicate that the PXR is in Maintenance Mode.
  2. A high-quality low-voltage switch with gold contacts is required. The recommended switch for this low-voltage application is Eaton part number L0250T133-2E, which includes a contact block rated for logic level and corrosive use. Alternately, use a general-purpose relay (IDEC RY22) with the appropriate coil voltage. In any application, wire length (AWG #20) should not exceed 15 feet.
  3. On PXR models with on-board relays, a remote indicator can be connected to show that the PXR is in Maintenance Mode. Use one of the general-purpose relays.

Modbus RTU Wiring (Fig. 6)

This diagram illustrates the Modbus RTU communication wiring for the Power Defense MCCB. It shows the RTU_D(+), RTU_D(-), and RTU_GND terminals, along with a shield drain. The diagram depicts a daisy-chained network configuration, typical for Modbus RTU, and indicates the placement of a 120 Ohm termination resistor.

Color Code Wire Colors PD 2, 3, 4 & 5 Terminal PD6 Only Name
G/BK Green/Black D8 RTU_D(+)
G/R Green/Red D9 RTU_D(-)
G Green D10 RTU_GND

Notes:

  1. Modbus communication cable is a twisted-pair with shield and "daisy-chained" between devices. Connect to other Modbus nodes, max. 99 nodes, max. length 1200 meters (4000ft.). Recommended Cable: twisted-pair foil shield w/drain wire, 120 ohms impedance, rated for the application (typical Belden 3105A or Belden 3074F).
  2. The end devices in the daisy-chain should have a 120 Ohm resistor placed between RTU_D(+) and RTU_D(-).

PXR to ECAM or PCAM Wiring (Fig. 7)

This diagram shows the wiring for connecting the PXR Trip Unit to an ECAM or PCAM communication adapter. It details the connections for CMM G, CMM 1 through CMM 4 terminals, and the shield drain. The diagram illustrates a twisted-pair cabling scheme between the PXR and the CAM module, with a maximum distance limit.

Color Code Wire Colors PD 2, 3, 4 & 5 Terminal PD6 Name
V/Gr Violet/Green C7 CMM 1
V/Y Violet/Yellow C6 CMM 2
V/W Violet/White C3 CMM 3
V/R Violet/Red C4 CMM 4
V Violet C5 CMM G

Notes:

  1. Use shielded twisted pair cable (2-pairs). Shield should be an aluminized Mylar with drain wire. Distance between PXR and CAM limited to 3m (10 ft.) maximum.
  2. See Instruction Leaflet IL0131132EN (PXR-ECAM) and IL120009EN (PXR-PCAM) for detailed information including network connection details. Note that additional CAM modules will be available in the future.
