ELD series

EARTH LEAKAGE DETECTOR UNITS

A range of versatile and economical earth leakage
detection relays. Each unit is housed in a robust, glass
filled nylon case: an aperture in the casing allows the
installation cabling to be passed through the integral
core balance transformer.

The electronic circuitry combines a stable amplification
of the transformer output with an ability to give high
sensitivity and fast operating speeds. Detection of an
earth fault results in the energisation and latching of the
unit's SPCO relay. The unit is reset by momentarily
removing the auxiliary supply.

Protection from excessive fault current and supply
transients are fitted as standard, as is filtering to allow use
with chopped waveform and variable drive applications.
A 'test' facility is supplied in the form of a button, either
pre-fitted into the unit's front facia or connected remotely.

Electrical connection on standard units is by a colour coded,
6 way flying lead, with terminal blocks available as an
option. Each unit may be mounted on a front panel or back-
plate using two 3mm threaded inserts; an optional mounting
assembly (part no. EMA) is also available for front access
back-plate mounting.

Standard units include:

ELD2

Basic unit, with 20mS typical trip time.
Fast response to earth leakage faults.

ELD4

As ELD2, but with longer trip delays, 80mS
to 5 secs. Prevents nuisance tripping in motor
protection circuits and allows time discrimination
in distribution networks.

ELD5

As ELD4, but with an adjustable trip delay.
Available in various time ranges up to 2 seconds.

With options:–

'VS'

Adjustable trip current (via front facia potentiometer.)

'HT'

High temperature specification (to +60

°

C ambient).

'TB'

Screw terminal connectors instead of flying leads.

'RC'

Special calibration and 1m wiring for use with
remote CTs (for RTCs of >125mA).

Variations on our standard units and options are also
available: please call with your requirements.

When ordering, please specify:–

a) Product type number (ELD2, ELD5, etc.)
b) Auxiliary supply voltage
c) Trip current (fixed, or variable range for VS option)
d) System frequency (50, 60 or 400 Hz.)
e) Trip delay time (fixed or variable, according to model)
f) Additional options, if required.

Accessories:–

EMA

Mounting assembly for ELD series.

Remote CTs

A range of remote core balance/current
transformers, enabling specially
calibrated ELD units to be used with
larger cables. Available in a range of
sizes, with or without a magnetic screen
(see sheet M060101 for full details).
