The pickup current setting is made b y means of
the connector screw located on the tap plat e . By
placing the connector screw in t he desired tap , the
relay will j ust close its contacts at the tap value
current .

Since the tap block connector screw carries
operating cwrent, be swe that the-screw is turned
tighto
In order to avoid opening t he current transformer
circuits when changing taps under load , connect the
spare tap screw in t he desired tap position before
removing the other tap screw from the original tap
position.

Connect the lead located in front of t he tap block
to the desired setting by means of the connecting
screw . When the relay energizes a 1 25-or 25 0-volt
d-e type WL relay switch or equivalent , use t he 0. 2
ampere tap; for 48-volt d-e applications set in 2 tap
and use WL coil Slt304C209G0 1 .
INSTALLATION
The relays should be mounted on switc hboard
panels or their equivalent in a location free from
dirt, moisture , excessive vibration, and heat . Mount
the relay vertically by means of the four mounting
holes on the flange for semi-flush mounting or by
means of the rear mounting stud or studs for projec
tion mounting . Either a mounting stud or t he mounting
screws may be utilized for grounding the relay. The
electrical connections may be made directly to the
terminals by means of screws for steel panel mount
ing or the terminal studs furnished with the relay for
thick panel mounting . The terminal studs may be
easily removed or inserted by locking two nut s on
t he stud and then turning the proper nut with a wrenc h .
For detailed information, refer to I . L . 4 1-076.
ADJ USTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
The proper adjustments to insure correct opera
tion of t his relay have been made at the factory. Upon
receipt of t he relay, no customer adjustments, other
than those covered under "SETTINGS, " should be
required.

The following check i s recommended to insure
that the relay is in proper working order:
Phase
&
Group Overcurrent Unit
1 . C ontact Gap - The gap between the station
ary and moving contacts with t he relay in the de
energized position should be approximately . 020 . "
2 . Minimum Trip Current - The pick-up of t he
overcurrent unit can be checked by inserting the tap
screw in t he desired tap hole and applying rated tap
value current . The contact should close within ±5%
of tap value current .
Contactor Switch
Close the phase or ground relay contacts and
pass sufficient d-e current through t he trip circuit to
close t he contacts of the
res.
T his value of current
should not be greater than the particular
res
tap set
ting being used . The indicator target should drop
freely.
The contact gap should be approximately . 04 7 "
between t h e bridging moving contact and t h e adjust
able stationary contact s . The bridging moving contact
should touch both stationary contacts simultaneously.
R o u t i n e M a i n t e n a n c e
All relays should be inspected periodically and
t he operation should be c hecked at least once every
year or at such other time intervals as may be dictated
by experience to be suitable to t he particular appli
cation.
All cont acts should be periodically cleaned .
A
contact burnisher Slt1 82A836H01 is recommended for
this purpose. The use of abrasive material for clean
ing contacts is not recommended , because of t he dan
ger of embedding small particles in t he face of t he
soft silver and thus impairing t he c ontact.
C a l i br a t i on
use the following procedure for calibrating t he
relay if the relay has been taken apart for repairs or
t he adjustments have been disturbed . This procedure
should not be used unless it is apparent t hat the re
lay is not in proper working order. (See "Acceptance
Check" ) .
