Product Description
The N96D-EFR/d senses total current passing from the DC system on Positive or Negative BUS & calculate leakage current passing through earth. The relay operates either during Over Load or when the leakage current goes above the selected value . It has Over Current Range from 20-120% & Earth Fault level setting from 1% to 10% of rated current sensor, for e.g. for 25A Sensor it shall be 5A to 30A for Over Load & 250mA to 2.5A for Earth Fault. It also has time delay setting from 1 to 10 sec for delay in relay operation after fault occurs. The relay has 1 C/O set of contacts each for +ve Earth Fault, Negative Earth Fault & DC Over Load.
Versatile Fault Sensing and Easy ConfigurationThe N96D-EFR/d relay offers an extensive adjustable fault sensing range from 1 k to 100 k, allowing users to fine-tune earth fault sensitivity according to the application's requirements. Settings can be configured effortlessly via user-friendly front panel keys, making setup and adjustments simple during installation or system updates.
Designed for Reliable DC ProtectionBuilt for rugged industrial environments, this relay supports DC voltages from 24V to 220V (depending on model) and suits battery chargers and DC distribution systems. Its robust electromechanical relay, fail-safe feature, and selectable reset modes provide consistent earth fault protection that meets critical safety standards.
User-Friendly Operation and DisplayThe device comes with clear digital 7-segment LED indicators to show fault conditions and relay status clearly at a glance. LED indications for fault, relay ON/OFF status, and a front-accessible reset feature ensure both swift response and convenience for operators.
FAQ's of DC Earth Fault Relays N96D-EFR/d:
Q: How can I adjust the fault sensing range and current settings on the N96D-EFR/d relay?
