INSTANTANEOUS UNIT
INTRODUCTION
The instantaneous unit is a small instantaneous
hinge-type unit which may be mounted on the right
front side of the induction unit (See Fig.
7).
Its
contacts are normally connected in parallel with
the contacts of the main unit. Its coil is connected
in series with the operating coil of the main unit.
When the current reaches a predetermined value,
the instantaneous unit operates, closing the contact
r
ircuit and raising its target into view. The target
latches in the exposed position until released by
pressing the button beneath the lower left-hand
corner of the relay cover.
APPLICATION
The instantaneous unit is used on certain lAC
relay models to provide instantaneous tripping for
current exceeding a predetermined value.
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
The instantaneous element operates over a
4
to
1
range and has its calibration stamped on a scale

RATINGS
The instantaneous unit is designed
to
use either
of two coils having pickup ranges of
10
to
40,
and
20
to
80
amperes respectively. The current-closing
rating of the contacts is
30
amperes for voltages
not exceeding
250
volts.
