Technical Data

Voltage Rating 125V dc

Burdens Initially the relay burden is 55W

(this includes the VAA Burden).
Continuous ‘follower’ relay burden
(VAA) 3W.
Reset coil burden 45W
(this is cut off when the relay resets).

Operating Times ‘Receive’ trip relay – Less than 10ms

‘Follower’ relay – Less than 15ms

Operation Indicators The ‘receive’ trip relay is fitted with a

hand reset ‘leave behind’ indicator.
This cannot be reset until the contacts
have been electrically reset.
The ‘follower’ relay is fitted with a
hand reset indicator.

Contacts
‘Receive’ trip relay 18 contacts wired to case rear
terminals.
‘Follower’ relay 4 contacts with a maximum of three
normally closed.
