Electronic-Level Input Option
The SEL relay instruction manuals address standard current (1 or 5 A) and voltage (67 V) inputs.
If you ordered your SEL relay with an electronic-level input option, references in the instruction
manual to Current Inputs and Voltage Inputs should be noted accordingly. Since the input
circuits are designed to accept electronic levels, do not subject them to Dielectric Strength,
