on page U.1.13, for complete power input specifications.) For the relay
models that accept dc input, the serial number label specifies dc with the
symbol shown in Figure 2.36.
NOTE: The combined voltages
applied to the POWER and MONITOR
terminals must not exceed 600 V
(rms or dc).
The POWER terminals are isolated from chassis ground. Use 16–14 AWG
(1.5 mm
2
–2.1 mm
2
) size wire to connect to the POWER terminals. Connection
to external power must comply with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 and must
be identified as the disconnect device for the equipment.
Place an external disconnect device, switch/fuse combination, or circuit
breaker in the POWER leads for the SEL-421; this device must interrupt both the
hot (H/+) and neutral (N/–) power leads. The current rating for the power
disconnect circuit breaker or fuse must be 20 A maximum. Be sure to locate
this device within 9.8 feet (3.0 m) of the relay.
Operational power is internally fused by power supply fuse F1. Table 2.11
lists the SEL-421 power supply fuse requirements. Be sure to use fuses that
comply with IEC 127-2.
You can order the SEL-421 with one of three operational power input ranges
listed in Table 2.11. Each of the three supply voltage ranges represents a
power supply ordering option.
As noted in Table 2.11, model numbers for the relay with these power supplies
begin 04210n (or 04211n), where n is 2, 4, or 6, to indicate low, middle, and
high voltage input power supplies, respectively.
Note that each power supply range covers two widely used nominal input
voltages. The SEL-421 power supply operates from 30 Hz to 120 Hz when ac
power is used for the POWER input.
The SEL-421 accepts dc power input for all three power supply models. The
48/125 Vdc supply also accepts 120 Vac; the 125/250 Vdc supply also accepts
120/240 Vac. When connecting a dc power source, you must connect the
source with the proper polarity, as indicated by the + (terminal #Z29) and –
(terminal #Z30) symbols on the power terminals. When connecting to an ac
power source, the + terminal #Z29 is hot (H), and the – terminal #Z30 is neutral
(N).
Each model of the SEL-421 internal power supply exhibits low power
consumption and a wide input voltage tolerance. For more information on the
power supplies, see Power Supply on page U.1.13.
