Overview

The Macromatic COH05A1AE is an Overcurrent Only relay designed for industrial fault detection. This unit, manufactured by Macromatic, monitors AC current and triggers a fault condition when the monitored current exceeds the set Fault Trip Current and remains above the Reset level for a specified time delay. Operation begins after input voltage is applied and the power-up sensing delay (ts) is completed. The relay energizes and an LED indicator turns ON once the time delay on pick-up (t) is met after a fault is detected. The relay de-energizes and the LED turns OFF when the monitored AC current drops below the Reset level. Key features include adjustable time delay on pick-up (t) and a clear fault indication via LED. This relay is suitable for applications requiring precise overcurrent monitoring and protection.
  • Monitors AC current for fault conditions
  • Adjustable time delay on pick-up (t)
  • LED indicator for fault status
  • Relay energizes after time delay on pick-up
  • De-energizes when current drops below reset level

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

  1. Mount the relay

    Secure the COH05A1AE relay in a suitable enclosure using two #6 screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Set the time delay

    Adjust the time delay on pick-up (t) to a value that prevents nuisance tripping while providing adequate overcurrent protection.

  5. Verify connections

    Double-check all electrical connections against the provided diagram to ensure they are correct and secure.

  6. Power up the relay

    Restore power to the relay and observe the LED indicator. Ensure it operates correctly according to the specified conditions.
