ENGLISH
Box lugs (on interposing power terminal blocks supplied with selected units)
are suitable for wire sizes #14–8 AWG, solid or stranded. Terminal
instruction labels are located adjacent to the terminal block. Table 8 provides
additional termination data.
Size 00B, 00C, 0, and 1 relays have conductor (CT) windows through which
the motor leads must pass before being connected to the load terminals on
the contactor (T1, T2, and T3). By allowing multiple passes (turns) of the
load leads through these CT windows, overload protection can be provided
for motors with a full-load current lower than the specified operating range.
Two passes of the load leads through each window effectively increase (by
a multiple of two) the current that the overload relay senses. Three passes
effectively increase the current by a multiple of three. All three conductor
windows must have the same number of passes, looped in the same
direction, for the overload relay to operate properly (see Figure 101).
Passes should begin from the load side of the overload through the CT window
and return via the windows provided between the baseplate and overload (see
Figure 102). The final pass terminates on the load side of the contactor.
MCC units requiring multiple passes are factory supplied prelooped with
#14 AWG wire and interposing terminal blocks. Refer to “Motor Logic
Retrofit Applications” on page 70 for information concerning retrofit.
