1. Configuration
The current transformer overload relay unit is supplied as independetly
mounted assembly. It is provided with four fixings for panel mounting,
see fig.3.
The thermal overload relay is a factory connected unit, being permanently
sited on top of the 3 phase current transformer assembly mouldings.
Mounting position: any vertical plane orientation within ±30°.
The relay is suitable only for a.c. current 50-60Hz.
Trip class to IEC 60947-4-1: class 10A.
2. Cabling
120-180A
2.1.Main connection
Torque:M8 screws = 17Nm (150 lb.in)
For current up to 120A the current transformer unit permits the use of
conductors through the central core hole for each phase connection.
For higher current suitable connecting links are available.
For single phase loads the three main circuits must be series connected.
2.2.Control connection
Torque: M3.5 screws =1-1.3Nm (7 lb.in)
Using correctly size cable, connect the operating coil of the associated
contactor in series with the NC contact of the relay i.e. 95-96.
If a signalling device has to be energized when the relay trips, connect it in
series with the NO contact, i.e. 97-98.
The NC circuit is electrically separate from the NO circuit up to 440V
(150 V AC for UL standard).
3. Setting to full load current of the motor
The relay is set to the full load current of the motor (primary current) by
rotating the adjustment dial .1 (fig.2) until the arrow head correspond to the
value of current.
The secondary current for the adjustment of the relay is one hundredth of
primary current.
Example: rated load current 120A
setting of relay 1.2A

4. Manual or automatic reset
Set the adjustment dial.4 (fig.2) in the position of arrow as follows:
M= manual reset by means of pushbutton .4 (fig.2)
A= automatic reset
By operating the pushbutton .4 (fig.2) contact (95-96) closes, if tripped.
Automatic reset is not suggested for permanent contact control devices as, when the
trippingoccurs,themotorisautomaticallyreenergizedafterthecoolingtimeoftherelay.
5. Function of the red stop pushbutton
Stopbutton .2 (fig.2)allow toopen momentarilythe contact(95-96) butit can'tbe used
to reset the relays when tripped.
6. Test before commissioning
Press pushbutton .4 (fig.2) to reset relay. Move the actionator .3 (fig.2) in direction
ofarrowmarked"TEST",therelaytrips.NCcontact(95-96)opensandNO contact(97-
98) closes. Trip indicator .3 (fig.2) shows yellow for tripped condition.
7. Fuse protection
Short circuit protection of the main poles is achieved by a back up fuse as indicated
on rating table.Short circuit protection of auxiliary contacts: 6AgG.
8. Permissible ambient temperature
-25°Cto+55°Ctemperaturecompensated.
