Receiving, Handling And Storage; Installation; Target And Seal-In Unit - GE IAV51A Instructions Manual

RECEIVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE

RECEIVING
These relays, when not shipped as a part of a
control panel, will be shipped in cartons designed
to protect them against damage. Immediately upon
receipt of the relay, an examination should be made
for any damage sustained during shipment.
jury or rough handling is evident, a damage claim
should be filed at once with the transportation
company and the nearest General Electric Sales
Office should be notified promptly.
LOCATION
The location should be clean and dry, free from
dust and excessive vibration, and well lighted to
facilitate inspection and testing.
MOUNTING
The relay should be mounted on a vertical sur­
face. The outline and panel drilling dimensions are
shown in Fig. 20 for relay Types IAV51A, IAV51D,
IAV52A, and IAV53C.

TARGET AND SEAL-IN UNIT

For trip coils operating on currents ranging
from 0.2 up to 2.0 amperes at the minimum control
voltage, set the target and seal-in tap plug in the
0.2-ampere tap.
For trip coils operating on currents ranging
from 2 to 30 amperes at the minimum control volt­
age, place the tap plug in the 2.0-ampere tap.
The tap plug is the screw holding the right­
hand stationary contact of the seal-in element. To
change the tap setting, first remove the connecting
plug. Then, take a screw from the left-hand sta­
tionary contact and place it in the desired tap.
Next, remove the screw from the other tap, and
place it in the left-hand contact.

VOLTAGE
The voltage at which the contacts operate may
be changed by changing the position of the tap plug
in the tap block at the top of relay for relays such as
