ELECTRONIC PROTECTION RELAY (EPR) — On Cutler-
Hammer solid state starters, the EPR is designed to provide
an alternative to conventional motor protection due to over-
current. See Fig. 53. It performs the following functions:
Test Button — The TEST button provides testing of the EPR’s
ability to detect overload, test relay operation, and simulate
motor load.
System Ready (SYST RDY) — This light-emitting diode (LED)
provides a visual indication that the EPR is
functioning.
Trip Time Potentiometer — The Trip Time potentiometer has
50 selectable overload trip classes ranging from 1 to
50 seconds.
Reset Time Potentiometer — The Reset Time potentiometer
has 5 to 120 minutes of motor cooling reset.
Full Load Amperes (FLA) — The FLA potentiometer is ad-
justable from 1 to 1,500 amps, based on overload frame size.
Trip LED — The Trip LED provides a visual indication that
the EPR has detected an overload condition and tripped.
Fault (FLT) LED — The FLT LED is an indicator light.
Reset Button — The RESET button allows for the manual
reset of the EPR.
Trip, Common (COM), and FLATest Terminals — The Trip,
COM, and FLA test terminals provide for Digital Voltmeter
(DVM) calibration.
Terminal 1 (TB1) — Terminal 1 is the 120 vac connection
to power the EPR.
Terminal 4 (TB4) — Terminal 4 is the normally closed, elec-
tronically isolated EPR contact for overload trip.
NOTE: When the System Ready (SYST RDY) LED is a steady
green light, no fault has been found in the solid-state starter
operation. When the SYST RDY LED is a steady green light
and the fault indicator (FLT) is a flashing red light, the a
motor overload trip is approaching. When the FLT LED is
a solid red light and the SYST RDY LED is a flashing green
light, a motor overload trip has occurred. When the FLT LED
is a solid red light and the SYST RDY LED is a solid green
light, the overload has tripped because of a phase unbalance.
