ACB LSIG Setting Calculator

Review ACB LSIG protection settings from the breaker sensor reference and the long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault inputs supported by the calculator.

What this utility does

The ACB LSIG Setting Calculator provides a preliminary reference for converting the entered sensor or In value and protection multipliers into pickup-current values. It is intended to make the relationship between the settings visible before the exact breaker model and protection scheme are reviewed.

How to use

  1. Enter the breaker sensor or reference current used by the calculator.
  2. Enter the supported L, S, I, and G multipliers or settings shown on the page.
  3. Review the resulting pickup currents and units for each protection function.
  4. Compare the result with the exact ACB manufacturer setting ranges, installed trip unit, system fault study, conductor protection, and coordination requirements before applying settings.

Practical notes

  • LSIG terminology and setting ranges vary between breaker families and trip units. The same label does not guarantee identical implementation or time-current behavior.
  • Long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault settings interact with the system and with upstream or downstream devices; a simple pickup-current calculation does not establish selectivity.
  • Ground-fault protection also depends on the system earthing arrangement and the measurement or sensing method used by the installed equipment.
  • Use manufacturer documentation and the project protection study for final settings. This page is a preliminary engineering reference, not a commissioning or compliance approval.
