Overview

It detects overcurrent conditions by comparing monitored current against preset Fault Trip Current and Reset levels. When current exceeds the trip threshold for the configured time delay, the relay energizes and an LED illuminates. The relay de-energizes automatically when current drops below the Reset level. Made in the USA, this relay provides precise overcurrent protection for critical industrial processes without requiring external current transformers. Ideal for motor overload, transformer protection, and machinery safety circuits.
  • Detects overcurrent conditions in AC circuits
  • Integrated LED indicates fault status instantly
  • Adjustable time delay for pick-up and reset
  • Manufactured in the USA by Macromatic

How to Install the COH05A6AF Current Sensing Relay

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the COH05A6AF 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 COH05A6AF relay in a suitable enclosure using two #6 screws. Ensure the relay 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 that needs to be monitored through the current sensor of the relay. Ensure the wire is securely positioned.

  4. Make electrical connections

    Connect all electrical terminals using 0.25” male quick-connect terminals as per the provided wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure.

  5. Set the time delay

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

  6. Verify installation

    Before powering on, double-check all connections and settings. Ensure that power is removed before making any adjustments.
