6. RELAY WIRING
Before carrying out any work on the equipment, the user should be familiar with the
contents of the safety section/safety guide SFTY/4LM/E11 or later issue, the technical
data section and the ratings on the equipment rating label.”
6.1 Medium and heavy duty terminal block connections
Loose relays are supplied with sufficient M4 screws for making connections to the rear
mounted terminal blocks using ring terminals, with a recommended maximum of two ring
terminals per relay terminal.
If required, Schneider Electric can supply M4 90° crimp ring terminals in three different sizes
depending on wire size (see Table 3). Each type is available in bags of 100.

TABLE 3: M4 90° CRIMP RING TERMINALS
* To maintain the terminal block insulation requirements for safety, an insulating sleeve
should be fitted over the ring terminal after crimping.
The following minimum wire sizes are recommended:
−
Current Transformers 2.5mm
2
−
Auxiliary Supply, Vx 1.5mm
2
−
RS485 Port See separate section
−
Other circuits 1.0mm
2
Due to the limitations of the ring terminal, the maximum wire size that can be used for any of
the medium or heavy duty terminals is 6.0mm
2
using ring terminals that are not pre-
insulated. Where it required to only use pre-insulated ring terminals, the maximum wire size
that can be used is reduced to 2.63mm
2
per ring terminal. If a larger wire size is required,
two wires should be used in parallel, each terminated in a separate ring terminal at the relay.
The wire used for all connections to the medium and heavy duty terminal blocks, except the
RS485 port, should have a minimum voltage rating of 300Vrms.
It is recommended that the auxiliary supply wiring should be protected by a 16A high rupture
capacity (HRC) fuse of type NIT or TIA. For safety reasons, current transformer circuits must
never be fused. Other circuits should be appropriately fused to protect the wire used.
6.2 RS485 port
Connections to the RS485 port are made using ring terminals. It is recommended that a 2
core screened cable is used with a maximum total length of 1000m or 200nF total cable
capacitance. A typical cable specification would be:
−
Each core: 16/0.2mm copper conductors
PVC
insulated
IN
−
Nominal conductor area: 0.5mm

per core
−
Screen: Overall braid, PVC sheathed
