which allows the operation indicator target to drop.

The target is reset from the outside of the case by a

push rod located at the bottom of the cover.

The front spring, in addition to holding the target, pro-
vides restraint for the armature and thus controls the

pickup value of the switch.

2.4

INDICATING INSTANTANEOUS TRIP UNIT 

(IIT)

The instantaneous trip is a small a-c operated clap-
per type device. A magnetic armature, to which leaf-

spring mounted contacts are attached, is attracted to

the magnetic core upon energization of the switch.

When the switch closes, the moving contacts bridge

two stationary contacts completing the trip circuit.

Also during the operation two fingers on the armature

deflect a spring located on the front of the switch

which allows the operation indicator target to drop.
The target is reset from the outside of the case by a

push rod located at the bottom of the cover.

A core screw accessible from the top of the switch

provides the adjustable pickup range. The minimum

and maximum pickup points are indicated on the

scale, which is located to the rear of the core screw.

OPERATION AND 
CHARACTERISTICS

The operating torque for the CWC relay is obtained
by energizing the lower pole coil with residual current
(usually obtained from the line current transformer)
and the 2 tapped upper pole coils with residual cur-
rent from the current transformer in the power bank
neutral, For the CWP relay the operating torque is
obtained by energizing the upper pole coils with
residual current (usually obtained from the line cur-
rent transformer) and the lower pole with residual
voltage.

3.1

TYPE CWC RELAY

The type CWC relay has two taps on the upper pole
and four on the lower pole. They are marked in prod-
uct which is the minimum pickup product of two equal
or unequal currents.

Type CWC Relay Ranges and taps are:

.25 to 4 Product Range

Product .25  .36  .64  1.0  1.44  2.56  4.0

2.25 to 36 Product Range

Product 2.25  4.0  6.25  9.0  16.0  25.0  36.0

The first four values are marked on the lower pole tap
