GE TR16B1600 Product Description

Overview

GE TR16B1600 is a 1600A rating plug designed for GE MicroVersaTrip Plus trip units. The GE TR16B1600 is used to set the nominal current rating of compatible air circuit breakers, including GE Power Break I, Power Break II and AKR series breakers fitted with 1600A current sensors. This TR16B1600 rating plug serves as a reliable GE MicroVersaTrip rating plug, widely used for current calibration and breaker configuration in low-voltage power distribution switchgear of the GE MicroVersaTrip rating plug.

Features

This GE TR16B1600 adopts a plug-in mechanical structure for quick installation and replacement on the trip unit for the GE MicroVersaTrip rating plug. It communicates the 1600A rated current value to the trip unit logic, which defines overload and short-circuit protection thresholds accordingly. The molded housing provides mechanical protection against dust and minor physical impact. The GE TR16B1600 is matched with 1600A CT sensors and cannot be interchanged with other ampere rating plugs in the TR16B family. It is a common spare part for maintenance, breaker retrofit and rating modification of existing GE low-voltage switchgear of the TR16B1600 rating plug.

Specs

The GE TR16B1600 series: rating plug for MicroVersaTrip Plus. Rated current: 1600 A. Series type: TR16B. Compatible trip unit: MicroVersaTrip Plus. Compatible breaker frames: Power Break I, Power Break II, AKR. Matching CT sensor: 1600A current sensor. Operating voltage: up to 600V AC. The GE TR16B1600 complies with relevant ANSI power distribution standards as a TR16B1600 rating plug.

Principle

GE TR16B1600 is inserted into the designated socket of the MicroVersaTrip Plus trip unit. The GE TR16B1600 encodes the rated current value, which is read by the trip unit microprocessor. The trip unit uses this value to scale the current signal from the CT and calculate protection pickup settings for long-time, short-time and instantaneous functions. Without the correct rating plug, the trip unit cannot implement accurate current protection. The plug coding structure of the GE MicroVersaTrip rating plug prevents incorrect rating configuration.

Applications

This GE TR16B1600 is used in industrial main switchboards, factory power distribution rooms, commercial building switchgear and marine low-voltage distribution systems. It is applied during breaker commissioning, protection setting adjustment and spare replacement for GE Power Break and AKR air circuit breakers. It is stocked for maintenance and upgrade of legacy GE switchgear installations. The GE TR16B1600 provides reliable current rating configuration for low-voltage air circuit breaker protection systems as a proven TR16B1600 rating plug.
