Example
How an MINIMUM CURRENT RELAY (RLI) works:
Supposing it is used to control a load with the following ratings:
I
n
= 7 A
(rated regular operating current)
V
n
= 230 V ac (rated regular operating voltage)
I
min.
= 6 A
(current at which RLI relay is requested to trip)
1
°
Connect as shown in diagram (for I
min.
= 6 A).
N.B.: Normally, connect terminals:
7-10 if I
min.
is
≤
2 A
7-11 if I
min.
is > 2 A and
≤
5 A
7-12 if I
min.
is > 5 A and
≤
10 A
