1.1.5 Operation As safety depends on the ELD V2 relay functioning correctly it is highly recommended that all safety functions of the relay be periodically tested to ensure correct operation. -
Page 6: Receiving And Storage
Equipment that is found to be damaged or has been modified away from its published specification must not be used. Please contact Ampcontrol if the equipment is suspected to be different than that ordered or if it does not match the published specifications. -
Page 7: Installation
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the ELD V2 relay with installation. Before the ELD V2 relay can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered and understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the relay or the system into which it is installed. - Page 8 Ampcontrol Electronics ELDB006R9 ELD V2 USER MANUAL Rev 9 – 03/14, ECN: 10573 Modifications must not be made to any part of the relay. As supplied, the unit is built to, and complies with the relevant standards. Modifications to its construction will render the unit non- compliant.

The protective device, such as an Ampcontrol ELD earth leakage relay, would then isolate the cable and contain the sparking within the cable before a heavy short circuit current due to a phase to phase fault occurs. -
Page 10: Earth Leakage Systems
Ampcontrol Electronics ELDB006R9 ELD V2 USER MANUAL Rev 9 – 03/14, ECN: 10573 A definite time operating characteristic is provided with adjustable trip sensitivity and time delay. Time delay between protective units is introduced to allow the unit close to the fault to isolate the faulty circuit without causing the healthy part of the system to be de-energised. -
Page 11: Earth Leakage Toroids
Select the smallest internal diameter toroid, which will allow the cables to fit through. Avoid very large toroids (200mm) or toroids with square apertures. Only use approved toroids specified by Ampcontrol as these have been designed to minimise the problem. - Page 12 Ampcontrol Electronics ELDB006R9 ELD V2 USER MANUAL Rev 9 – 03/14, ECN: 10573 exists for the shield to become an earth loop, having finite resistance and injecting noise into the toroid leads. vii. To reduce the possibility of noise pickup, install twisted pair cable between the ELD relay and the toroid.
