1.  INTRODUCTION  

1.1.  Introduction 

In the PN-150 line of relays the PN-150SO is the equivalent of the ORP-66 D.C. switch 

overload relay. It is furnished primarily for the overload protection of high voltage D. C. 

switch machines. This relay can be used also to protect low voltage D. C. switch 

machines under the same current conditions. This relay, with a different thermal 

resistor, can be furnished to match a motor with another D. C. current range. 
The operating relay coil, paralleled by a thermal resistor, is in series with the motor. 

When the motor current becomes excessive, the operating relay picks up. This picks up 

the stick relay, which then releases the operating relay and deenergizes the switch 

control relay, thereby opening the motor control circuit. 
The thermal resistor has a high temperature coefficient of resistance, so that with 

excessive motor current, its resistance will increase giving a longer cut-out time for a 

lower current and a shorter cut-out time for a higher excessive motor current. 

1.2.  Shock Indicators 

 

WARNING 

Any relay showing shock indicator activation should be sent 

to the shop for inspection before placing the relay into 

service. Failure to assure proper function of this relay could 

result in severe personal injury or death.

 

 

The shock indicator (P/N J680167-0012) shows red when the relay has been subjected 

to shock in excess of a safe level (i.e., dropped) during shipment or transport. This is an 

indication that the relay may have mechanical damage and may not meet electrical 

specifications.  
The relay should be opened and visually inspected for damage (i.e., kinked springs). 

Mechanical settings should be checked, recalibrated, and tested according to 

specifications by a qualified individual.
