3.2.2 DIELECTRIC STRENGTH
The dielectric strength of the UR-series module hardware is shown in the following table:
Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in the hardware to prevent damage caused
by high peak voltage transients, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference
(EMI). These protective components can be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90 spec-
ified test voltage for a period longer than the specified one minute.
3.2.3 CONTROL POWER
Control power supplied to the relay must be connected to the matching power supply range of the
relay. If voltage is applied to the wrong terminals, damage can occur.
The F35 relay, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are
well-known to deteriorate over time if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration can be avoided
by powering up the relay at least once a year.
The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, and the UR can be ordered with or without a
redundant power supply module option. Each range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges are
as shown below (see the
Specifications
section of chapter 2 for details):
•
Low (LO) range: 24 to 48 V (DC only) nominal.
•
High (HI) range: 125 to 250 V nominal.
The power supply module provides power to the relay and supplies power for dry contact input connections.
The power supply module provides 48 V DC power for dry contact input connections and a critical failure relay (see the
Typical wiring diagram
earlier). The critical failure relay is a form-C device that is energized once control power is applied
and the relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test failures. If on-going self-test diagnostic checks detect a
critical failure (see the
Self-test Errors
section in chapter 7) or control power is lost, the relay is de-energize.
For high reliability systems, the F35 has a redundant option in which two F35 power supplies are placed in parallel on the
bus. If one of the power supplies become faulted, the second power supply assumes the full load of the relay without any
interruptions. Each power supply has a green LED on the front of the module to indicate it is functional. The critical fail relay
of the module also indicates a faulted power supply.
