The current-closing rating of the contacts is
30 amperes for voltages not exceeding 250 volts.
The current-carrying ratings are affected by the
selection of the tap on the target and seal-in coil
as indicated in the following table:

If the tripping current exceeds 30 amperes an
auxiliary relay should be used, the connections being
such that the tripping current does not pass through
the contacts or the target and seal-in coils of the
protective relay.

BURDENS
Burdens for the standard coils are given in the
following table. These are calculated burdens at
five amperes based on burden of minimum tap.
Volt-ampere burdens for the lowest tap on any
of the three coils can be determined for any value
of current, up to 20 times tap setting, from Fig. 6.

INSTANTANEOUS
INTRODUCTION
UNIT
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. 4). 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 predeterm:ned
value, the instantaneous unit operates, closing the
contact circuit 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.
