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
2.1.Main connection
Torque:M10 screws = 35 Nm (275 lb.in)
Suitable connecting links to contactor are supplied.
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 eightieth of
primary current.
Example: rated load current 240A

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 tripping occurs, the motor is automatically reenergized after the
cooling time of the relay.
5. Function of the red stop pushbutton
Stop button .2 (fig.2) allow to open momentarily the contact (95-96) but it
can't be 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
directionof arrow marked "TEST", the relay trips. NC contact (95-96)opens
and NO 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
indicatedonratingtable.Shortcircuitprotectionofauxiliarycontacts:6AgG.
8. Permissible ambient temperature
-25°C to +55°C temperature compensated.
