2.0 General Mechanical Checks and Visual Inspection

Item Description Done Remarks

General Visual Inspection
1. (marked check list as per CL-NG-6460-002-55 should be
attached )
On Units fitted with hand reset flag indicators, check that the
flag is free to fall before, or just, any contacts closes. Make
2. sure that the reset mechanism in the cover is correctly located
with respect to the relay element and the flag (or mechanism)
can be reset.
Check condition of any connectors, contacts alignment and
3.
travel.
4. Check armature gap.
Check Lockout mechanism. (For hand reset auxiliary relays,
5. Trip Lockout Relay (86) and Bi-stable relay
For electrical reset auxiliary relays)
Check Reset mechanism. (For hand reset auxiliary relays,
6. Trip Lockout Relay (86) and Bi-stable relay
For electrical reset auxiliary relays)

3.0 Electrical tests

Item Description Done Remarks

General Electrical Tests
1. (marked check list as per CL-NG-6460-002-56 should be
attached )
2. Check the continuity of the contacts.
3. Check the resistance of all output contacts.
Check the pick-up voltage and current of operating Coil. (The
4.
relay should switch cleanly with one movement.)
Check the AUTO-RESET function.( For auto reset auxiliary
5. relays, Trip Auto Reset Relay (94))
