INTRODUCTION
These
instructions
contain
the
information
required
to
properly
install
,
operate
,
and
test
the
complete
line
of
Type
51
solid
-
state
overcurrent
relays
.
The
CIRCUIT
-
SHIELD
overcurrent
relay
is
housed
in
a
semi
-
flush
drawout
relay
suitable
for
conventional
panel
mounting
.
All
connections
to
the
relay
are
made
at
terminals
located
on
the
rear
of
the
case
and
clearly
numbered
,
one
(
1
)
through
twelve
(
12
)
.
CURRENT
,
TIME
,
and
INST
,
pickup
controls
are
lo
-
cated
on
the
front
panel
behind
a
removable
clear
plastic
cover
.
TIME
and
INST
,
target
indicators
are
also
mounted
on
the
front
panel
.
Both
targets
are
reset
by
means
of
a
pushbutton
extending
through
the
relay
cover
.
PRECAUTIONS
The
following
precautions
should
be
taken
when
applying
solid
-
state
relays
:
1
.
Incorrect
wiring
may
result
in
damage
to
solid
-
state
relays
,
Be
sure
wiring
agrees
with
the
connection
diagram
for
the
particular
relay
before
the
relay
is
energized
.
Be
sure
control
power
is
applied
in
the
correct
polarity
before
applying
control
power
.
2
.
Apply
only
the
rated
control
voltage
marked
on
the
relay
front
panel
.
Unlike
conventional
relay
contacts
,
solid
-
state
outputs
are
rated
for
a
particular
control
voltage
.
If
rectified
AC
voltage
is
used
in
place
of
a
battery
,
proper
filtering
will
be
required
to
insure
