How to Install the COH05A1AE Current Sensing Relay
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the COH05A1AE Current Sensing Relay for overcurrent protection.
Estimated time: 45m
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, 0.25" male quick-connect terminals
- Mount the relay
Secure the COH05A1AE relay in a suitable enclosure using two #6 screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
- Set the Fault Trip Current
Adjust the Fault Trip Current setting (I) to the desired level where the relay should energize, indicating a fault condition. Refer to the specifications for maximum allowable current.
- Connect the current-carrying wire
Pass the current-carrying wire to be monitored through the current sensor of the relay. Ensure all connections are made with 0.25" male quick-connect terminals.
- Set the time delay
Adjust the time delay on pick-up (t) to a value that prevents nuisance tripping while providing adequate overcurrent protection.
- Verify connections
Double-check all electrical connections against the provided diagram to ensure they are correct and secure.
- Power up the relay
Restore power to the relay and observe the LED indicator. Ensure it operates correctly according to the specified conditions.
