  • Page 3: General Description

    CS. The DGF5 houses a non-isolated universal power supply of 24 – 48 V AC or DC and is equipped with form ‘C’ (3-wire), changeover contacts. The relay operating mode is Pulsed Output Auto Reset. The Ground Fault Current Trip level is factory set at 500 mA, the Trip Delay Time is factory set at 500 ms.

    Level or after three seconds. 2.5 Test The DGF5 can be connected to a remote momentary ,voltage free, N.O. button for a relay test (see section 6.2), using the T1 (grey) and T2 (blue) wire leads. A simulated current of 600 mA (1,2 times the Trip Current) replaces the measured current.
  • Page 5: Control Voltage

    OLTAGE The DGF5 has a universal power supply input, accepting nominal voltages between 24 and 48 V AC or DC with a -45% / +10% tolerance for AC and -20% / + 10% for DC. The total range of accepted voltages is therefore 15,6 to 52,8 V AC and 19,2 to 52,8 V DC.

    Figure 1 for typical field connections. Place the DGF5 in a clean dry enclosure. Locate the relay in the vicinity of the isolating device (circuit breaker or contactor) that is protecting the circuit being monitored. Provide maximum clearance between the DGF5 and any strong magnetic flux producing devices such as power transformers, autotransformers, control transformers, reactors, high power conductors, contactors and other buswork.
