DESCRIPTION

The NX300A and NX300EA are microprocessors based earth leakage relays designed for measure the low-level current flowing from the live part of the installation to the earth in the absent of the insulation fault. A zero phase current transformer is connected to the relay and function as the sensor for sensing the leakage current. All conductors of the circuit to be protected shall go through the ZCT.
For better fault preventive control of the system or equipment to be protected, NX300EA series comes with a pre-fault alarm contact and a positive safety contact. The pre-fault alarm contact is activated whenever the leakage current exceed 50% of the sensitivity setting. While the positive safety contact is activated if the relay is power up and function correctly. The NX300EA series also built-in a digital input port for remotely reset the relay after leakage fault trip, manual test trip or ZCT connection fault.

1. PUSH BUTTONS OPERATION

Integral Trip Test:
- Press the [TEST] button and hold for 3.5s to perform an integral test on the relay ranging from the analog sensing circuitry to output contact(s) of the relay as well as the relay indicators and display.
- During the testing process, the first 2s is to simulate the pre-fault alarm condition then follow by 5s testing on the trip time delay. End of time delay, relay trip.
Leakage Fault Trip Reset: / Manual Test Trip Reset:
- Press the [RESET] button once or through digital input
ZCT Connection Fault Reset:
- Press the [RESET] button once or through digital input
- Reset is inhabited if the fault is not
Parameters Viewing:
- When the relay is operate normal and healthy condition, press the [RESET] button to step through the various functions.
- When step through the parameters, press [RESET] button and hold for 1.5 second to jump direct to the default [FUNC].

Parameters Setting
- Step 1: Press [RESET] button to step to desired [FUNC] or
- Step 2: Press [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously and hold for 1.5s to enter programming mode. The [FUNC] digit blink to indicates the relay has enter into the programming mode.
- Step 3: Press [▲] or [▼] button to increase or decrease the parameter
- Step 4: To save the selected value, press [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously and hold for 1.5s. It will exit the programming mode with [DATA] displaying the new setting.

To exit programming mode without saving the selected setting, press the [RESET] button once.

DIGITAL INPUT PORT *

These digital port is for remotely reset the relay when tripped or ZCT connection
To reset the relay, make a connection between terminals 4 and 5 of the

OUTPUT CONTACTS

Trip Contact	Activated and latch by leakage fault trip or manual test trip.

Based on [FUNC]=3 set. Activate and latch by ZCT connection fault.
Positive Safety Contact | Activated when the relay is power up and function correctly with no tripping
Pre-fault Alarm Contact | Activated when the measured leakage current > 50% of the I∆n and self reset when the measured leakage current < 45% of the I∆n
Activated and latch when the relay is tripped

Table 3: Output contact description

RECORDS

Record the 3 latest tripped faults current or “tSt” for manual trip
The records are stored in non-volatile
To clear the entire record database:
- Step 1: When the relay is healthy, press [RESET] button to step to most recent trip fault record or [FUNC] digit shown “A”.
- Step 2: Press [▲] and [▼] buttons simultaneously and hold for 3.5s or the [DATA] show “0”. It will clear the entire fault records database.
