Power Supply
Power for the internal circuitry may be derived from ac or dc external power
sources. Power supply voltages, ranges, and burden are provided in Table
1-3.

NOTES: † Type L power supply initially requires 14 Vdc to begin operating. Once
operating, the voltage may be reduced to 12 Vdc and operation will
continue.

Output Circuits
Output contacts are rated as follows:
Resistive:
120/240 Vac
Make 30 A for 0.2 seconds, carry 7 A continuously, and break 7 A.
250 Vdc
Make and carry 30 A for 0.2 seconds, carry 7 A continuously, and break
0.3 A.
500 Vdc
Make and carry 15 A for 0.2 seconds, carry 7 A continuously, and break
0.1 A.
Inductive:
120/240 Vac,
Make and carry 30 A for 0.2 seconds, carry 7 A continuously, and break
125/250 Vdc
0.3 A. (L/R = 0.04).
Target Indicators
Function targets may be specified as either internally operated, or current
operated by a minimum of 0.2 A through the output trip circuit. When cur-
rent operated, the output circuit must be limited to 30 A for 0.2 seconds, 7
A for 2 minutes, and 3 A continuously.
Isolation
Meets IEC 255-5 and exceeds ANSI/IEEE C37.90-1989, one minute
dielectric (high potential) tests as follows:
Between each independent circuit and the ground circuit: 2828 Vdc.
Between independent circuit groups: 2000 Vac or 2828 Vdc.
Radio Frequency
Field Tested using a five watt, hand-held transceiver operating at
Interference (RFI)
random frequencies centered around 144 MHz and 440 MHz, with the
antenna located six inches from the relay in both horizontal and vertical
planes.
Surge Withstand Capability
Qualified to ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1-1989 Standard Surge Withstand Ca-
pability (SWC) Tests for Protective Relays and Relay Systems.
