— External ground fault sensor input Features are available only with the E3 Plus Overload Relay (cat. nos. 193/592-EC2and 193/592-EC3). Available only on cat. nos. 193/592-EC5_ _. An earth ground connection to this terminal will assist in obtaining compliance with electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
The following grounding recommendations are provided to ensure electromagnetic compatibility compliance during installation: • The earth ground terminal of the E3 Overload Relay shall be connected to a solid earth ground via a low-impedance connection • Installations employing an external ground fault sensor shall ground the cable shield at the sensor with no connection made at the E3 Plus Overload Relay •...

External Current Transformer Application (Cat. No. 193-EC_ZZ) E3 and E3 Plus Overload Relays (Cat. No. 193-EC_ZZ) are designed for use with separately mounted, customer-supplied current transformers (CTs) as required in higher-current applications. The FLA setting range is 9…5000 A for these units, with a legal setting range per the user’s manual.
The E3 Overload Relay must be mounted a distance equal to, or greater than, six times the cable diameter (including insulation) from the nearest current-carrying conductor or current transformer.

63 should be left vacant for introduction of new slave devices. The node address and data rate for series B or later, E3 Overload Relays can be changed using software or by setting the hardware switches that reside on the front of each unit. While both methods yield the same result, it is good practice to choose one method and deploy it throughout the system.
For switch settings in this range, the node address setting is determined by the software setting using the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet configuration tool. Factory default setting. Note: For node address switch values in the range of 0…63, cycle power to the E3 Overload Relay to initialize the new setting. Setup Requirements Setup for Cat.
