OPERATION INDICATOR (OI)
The operation indicator is a small clapper type
device. A magnetic armature is attracted to the
magnetic core upon energization of the switch.
When the switch closes two fingers on the arma­
ture deflect a spring located on the front of the
switch,
which
allows the operation indicator
target to drop.
The front spring, in addition to holding the
target, provides restraint for the armature and
thus controls the pickup value of the switch.
INDICATING INSTANTANEOUS
TRIP UNIT (liT)
The instantaneous trip unit is a small a-c oper­
ated clapper type device. A magnetic armature, to
which leaf-spring mounted contacts are attached,
is attracted to the magnetic core upon energiza­
tion of the switch. When the switch closes, the
moving contacts bridge two stationary contacts
completing the trip circuit. Also, during the op­
eration, two fingers on the armature deflect a
spring located on the front of the switch which
allows the operation indicator target to drop.
A core screw accessible from the top of the
switch provides the adjustable pickup range.

CHARACTERISTICS
The relays are available in the following current
range:
RANGE
4- 12
4
5
12
The circuit-opening relay is recommended only
in the 4 to
ampere range. A lower range is
not desirable because the burden of a low-range
trip coil is too heavy on the current transformer.
One trip coil is required for each relay.
5.7
The burden of the auxiliary current trans­
former at 4 amps. is 4. 6 VA with contacts
CO closed and
VA with contacts open.

The time vs. current characteristics are shown
in Figs.
to 9. These characteristics give the con­
tact closing time for the various time dial settings
when the indicated multiples of tap value current
are applied to the relay.
