Overcurrent Relay
An
overcurrent relay
(Figure 18) is connected to the
main circuit breaker. In the event of an overload, both the
circuit breaker and the overcurrent relay may trip. If the
circuit breaker cannot be reset, the
reset button
on the
overcurrent relay must be pressed. The overcurrent relay
is located inside the control box.

NOTICE
Remember the
overcurrent relay
monitors the current
flowing from the
U,V, and W Output Terminal Lugs
to the load.
In the event of a short circuit or overcurrent condition,
it will automatically trip the 1000-amp main breaker.
To restore power to the
Output Terminal Panel
, press
the reset button on the overcurrent relay and place the
main
circuit breaker in the
