Please consult this user’s manual when you place your new
DIN-A-MITE in service. It contains all the necessary
information to mount and wire it into the application. This
manual also contains all pertinent specifications and
semiconductor fusing recommendations. Please refer to
national and local electrical code safety guidelines whenever
you install electrical equipment.
This DIN-A-MITE product is capable of switching up to 100
amperes single-phase, at 600V
Å (ac) at 30°C (86°F),
depending on the model selected. It is electrically touch-safe
and includes standard back-panel mounting, on-board
semiconductor fuses, and a current transformer option for
external load current monitoring. Shorted SCR alarm output
option is also available.
The DIN-A-MITE Style D mounting footprint matches that of
an industry-standard 100-amperes mercury displacement
relay. This DIN-A-MITE is CE-approved, UL
®
508-listed and
C-UL
