Overview

The Macromatic COKP10A68 is an AC overcurrent monitoring relay designed for industrial applications. It features an adjustable pick-up current range of 1-10A AC, with an option to extend this range using an external current transformer. The drop-out setting is adjustable from 50-95% of the pick-up value, preventing nuisance tripping from inrush currents. The relay energizes when AC current exceeds the pick-up setting for longer than the adjustable 0.1-10 second delay and de-energizes when current falls below the drop-out setting. It mounts in a standard 8-pin octal socket and includes output contacts rated 10A @ 240V AC/30V DC. Operating temperature range is -28°C to 55°C (-20°F to 131°F). SKU: COKP10A68.

How to Install the COKP10A68 Current Sensing Relay

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the COKP10A68 Current Sensing Relay in a suitable enclosure.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, 8 pin octal socket (e.g., Macromatic 70169-D), Terminal connectors

  1. Mount the octal socket

    Install the appropriate 8 pin octal socket (such as the Macromatic 70169-D) in a suitable enclosure, ensuring it is securely fastened.

  2. Connect wiring to the socket

    Using #12-22 solid or stranded copper or copper-clad aluminum conductors, connect the wiring to the socket. Match the terminal numbers on the socket to those shown on the wiring diagram, and apply a terminal tightening torque of 12 in-lbs.

  3. Verify connections and power

    Before powering the system, double-check all connections against the wiring diagram to ensure correctness. Remove all power supplying the equipment before connecting or disconnecting any wiring.

  4. Adjust settings

    Set the pick-up current and drop-out settings according to your requirements. Ensure that the relay is configured to energize when the monitored AC current exceeds the pick-up setting.

  5. Test the relay operation

    After installation and configuration, restore power and test the relay operation to ensure it functions as expected. If issues arise, verify all connections and settings.
