Notes
1.
CT circuits are shown
connected to 1A inputs - use 5A
inputs for 5A rated CTs.
2.
CT and earth connections are
typical only.
3.
Diagram shows use of residual
(Holm gre en) c onn ec tion for E/ F
circuit. Alternatively use a ring-core
CT.
Rear RS485 port is an ordering
4.
option. On the last Relay on the bus
only, connect wire link as shown to
include 120 ohm terminating resistor
in circuit.

Notes
1.
CT c irc ui ts are s hown
connected to 1A inputs - use 5A
inputs for 5A rated CTs.
2.
CT and earth connections
are typical only.
3.
Diagram shows use of SEF/
REF as an SEF input. Use of the
input for high-im pedance REF
requires an addi tional setting
resistor, and may also require a
metrosil.
4.
Rear RS485 port is an
ordering option. On the last Relay
on the bus only, connect wire link
as shown to i nclude 120 ohm
terminating resistor in circuit.
