A Din rail mounted current sensing relay dedicated for DC earth fault monitoring, such as insulation deterioration on a DC system. The unit is supplied complete with a dedicated DC Earth Fault CT type FOX21.CTD, this allows the relay to have two switchable earth fault ranges of 1-20mA and 10-200mA. The unit is fitted with four LED's to aid status diagnosis:-

Green LED = Auxiliary supply voltage healthy

Red LED = Output relay energised

Top Amber LED = Positive leg earth fault

Bottom Amber LED = Negative leg earth fault

Both Amber LED's = Open circuit or short circuit between CT & relay (also if Test function is used)

The amber earth fault LED's will start to illuminate at either 1mA or 10mA (depending on which range has been set), but the output relay will not de-energise until the setpoint has been reached, plus any delay “ON” time set, which is adjustable 0.1-10secs. The output relay is fail safe, ie energised when healthy, de-energises on earth fault.

After tripping on an earth fault and the fault level starts to fall below the setpoint it has to fall for a further 2% (hysteresis) plus any delay “OFF” time set before the output relay energises again. This is “AUTO RESET”. However, should the optional latch facility be utilised via a NC link between terminals Y1 & Y2 the NC link will need to be opened or the auxiliary supply removed to facilitate a reset, providing the fault is below the setpoint level plus hysteresis, “MANUAL RESET”.

The relay is also fitted with a relay Test input between terminals Y3 & Y4 via a NO input.

For correct operation when using the FOX.21CTD both the positive and negative conductors need to pass through the CT from P1 to P2 (load on P2 side), to ensure accurate amber LED indication. It is also possible to position the CT on just the earth leg in which case P2 is the Earth side, when used in this configuration on an earth fault, only the positive fault amber LED will illuminate. In both the above scenarios correct connection between the CT and relay with respect to terminals S1 & S2 is also important to ensure accurate indication.
