INDUCTION UNIT
INTRODUCTION
APPLICATION
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
The induction unit may have one or two circuitclosing contacts which close as the current increases
to the pick-up value as set on the tap block. The
time delay in closing the contacts is determined by
the setting of the time dial (Fig. 1). The time-cur
rent characteristics are shown in Fig. 3.
RATINGS
The induction unit is designed to use any one of
four operating coils, each having a different com
bination of taps as follows, 4,5,6,7,8,10,12, and 16
amperes; 1.5,2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 amperes;
0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 amperes; 0.1,
0.12, 0.16, 0.2, 0.24, 0.3 and 0.4 amperes.

UNIT
INTRODUCTION
The instantaneous unit is a small instantaneous
hinge-type unit which may be mounted on the right
front side of the induction unit (See Fig. 4). Its
contacts are normally connected in parallel with
the contacts of the main unit. Its coil is connected
in series with the operating coil of the main unit.

INDUCTION

CURRENT SETTING
The current at which the contacts operate may
be changed by changing the position of the tap plug
in the tap block at the top of the relay. Screw the
tap plug firmly into the tap marked for the desired
current (below which the unit is not to operate).
When changing the current setting of the unit,
remove the connecting plug to short-circuit the
current-transformer secondary circuit.
Next,
screw the tap plug into tap marked for the desired
current and then replace the connecting plug.
The pickup of the unit for any current tap is
adjusted by means of a spring-adjusting ring. The
ring may be turned by inserting a tool in the notches
around the edge. By turning the ring, the operating
current of the unit may be brought into agreement
with the tap setting employed, if for some reason,
this adjustment has been disturbed. This adjustment
also permits any desired setting intermediate be
tween the various tap settings to be obtained. The
unit is adjusted at the factory to close its contacts
from any time-dial position at a minimum current
within five per cent of the tap plug setting. The
unit resets at 90 per cent of the minimum closing
value.
TIME SETTING
The setting of the time dial determines the
length of time the unit requires to close its con
tacts when the current reaches the predetermined
value. The contacts are just closed when the dial
is set on 0. When the dial is set on 10, the disk
must travel the maximum amount to close the

MAINTENANCE
DISK AND BEARINCS
The lower jewel may be tested for cracks by
exploring its surface with the point of a fine needle
.
The jewel should be turned up until the disk is
centered in the air gaps, after which it should be
locked in this position by the set screw provided
for this purpose.
CONTACT CLEANING
For cleaning fine sliver contacts, a flexible
burnishing tool should be used. This consists of a
flexible strip of metal with an etched roughened
surface, resembling in effect a superfine file. The
polishing action is so delicate that no scratches are
left, yet corroded material will be removed rapidly
PERIODIC TESTING
It is recommended that pickup of all units be
checked at least once every six months.
