It is necessary to inspect the equipment at the time it is delivered to ensure that the relays have not been damaged during transport. If any defect is found, the transport company and FANOX should be informed immediately. If the relays are not for immediate use, they should be returned to their original packaging.
All electrical power sources should be removed before performing this operation to avoid the risk of electrical discharge. This product must be disposed of in a safe way. It should not be incinerated or brought into contact with water sources like rivers, lakes, etc… www.fanox.com Rev. 32 6/114...

3.2. Description The SIA-B equipment is a protection relay designed for secondary distribution. One of its main characteristics is the necessity of using specific current transformers for measurement and power supply. The equipment starts-up from 0.8xIsmin single phase and 0.4xIsmin three phase current using specific CTs.
Page 17
The equipment has storage for up to 100 events, allowing any recorded incidents to be analyzed. All SIA-B models are equipped with a real-time clock (RTC) which permits registering all the events with a reliable timestamp. Current measurements are performed using RMS values. Specific current transformers (CTs) are used.
Page 18
Events registered in the FRAM are maintained when there is a power fault, as it is a non-volatile memory. A maximum of 100 events can be stored. Fault reports registered in the FRAM are maintained when there is a power fault, as it is a non-volatile memory. A maximum of 4 fault reports can be stored. www.fanox.com Rev. 32 18/114...
3.5. Specific CTs SIA-B relay requires specific CTs to achieve the measurement and the power supply. Different mechanics are available to cover all the requirements: Epoxy Resin specific CT 3.5.1. Depending on the model selected, there are the following primary currents:...

TEST WINDING SIA-B relay has been designed to work with these current levels. For this reason it is not possible doing the same tests that are performed with relays that use standard CTs. Both CTs (Resin or taped) can be used to carry the test winding out.

Taped specific CTs In the case of SIA-B, the necessary current to perform the testing is provided through the no conventional current transformers. These CTs have a pass-through hole (from P1 to P2 in the picture blow) for primary current measurement, 2 terminals (S1 and S2 in the picture below) for secondary...

6.11. Switch on to fault characteristic (SOTF). SIA-B is an electronic device, which provides a starting up time (time from equipment activation to operational capacity). Logically, it is a desirable to have a minimum time for the starting up the equipment.
Striker activation The activation of the SIA-B trip output means that a capacitor has discharged on the output terminals. This discharge of energy is sufficient to activate a striker that mechanically acts on a mechanism to open the current circuit.
