The DIAC relay consists of a case, cover, support structure, and a connection plug to make up the electrical connection. The case is shown in Figure 6–5: DIAC 66K FRONT AND REAR VIEWS on page 6–9. The exter- nal connections are shown in Figure 5–3: TYPICAL EXTERNAL CONNNECTIONS FOR MOTOR PROTEC- TION on page 5–4.
If damage occurred during shipment a damage claim should be filed at once with the transportation com- pany, and the nearest GE sales office should be notified. If the relay is not installed immediately, it should be stored in its original carton in a location that is dry and protected from dust, metallic chips and severe atmo- spheric conditions.

A relay may be tested without removing it from the panel by using the appropriate test plug. For an S case use the XLA series test plug, refer to the GE Power Management Product Catalog, Prod- ucts CD, or website (the URL is www.ge.com/indsys/pm).
Successively apply currents of 2, 5, and 10 times pickup TOC, verifying that the operating times are within the margins indicated in Table 6–1: PICKUP TIMES FOR VARYING MULTIPLES OF PICKUP (MPU) DIAC Type 66K Digital Overcurrent Relay GE Power Management...
PICKUP VERIFICATION • Connect the relay as indicated in Figure 6–2: DIAC 66K TOC INVERSE TIME TEST SETUP. In order to apply current to the relay, use a 50/60 Hz voltage source, with a variable resistor in series, or an electronic current source.
VARYING MULTIPLES OF PICKUP (MPU) on page 6–3. With the relay still connected as indicated in Figure 6–2: DIAC 66K TOC INVERSE TIME TEST SETUP, set the time overcurrent unit to minimum pickup and set the corresponding time dial to 5. Enable the Instantaneous HDO settings by setting the pickup to the lowest setting (not including zero).
Connect the relay as shown in Figure 6–2: DIAC 66K TOC INVERSE TIME TEST SETUP on page 6–4. Set the instantaneous unit pickup to 2 Amps (for the 5 Amp rated relay) or 0.4 Amps (for the 1 Amp rated relay) with a zero IOC delay setting.
