auxiliary relays type NHL
type Z
application
The type NHL. class 15-820, relay is used as an auxiliary switching device on multi-circuits where mechanical latching of contacts is desirable. Latched-in feature is desirable to eliminate slight 60 cycle hum which is usually undesirable in school and hospital installations, and to keep emergency and sequencing circuits in operating position upon return of power after a power failure.
description
It is simply a type NH relay with a mechanical latch mounted beneath on a common base plate. All features, advantages and ratings of the type NH are retained in the NHL. After the initial momentary pickup of the contacts by the primary relay coil, they are held in position by the mechanical latch, and thus do not require the primary coil to remain energized. Contacts are released by momentarily energizing the secondary coil that releases the latch.
enclosures
Type NHL relays are available in NEMA type 1 enclosures and other standard NEMA types can be supplied on special order.

description
These relays are small in size, unaffected by normal variations in ambient temperature or pressure, and provide a wide range of timing adjustment combined with commercial accuracy and easy adjustments.
The timing range is adjustable from 0.2 to 200 seconds (with an accuracy of plus or minus 10%) by turning a large graduated dial located on top of the relay. Accuracy of repeat timing is assured by tightening lock-plate after dial adjustment. Operating coils on the type AM are designed to operate satisfactorily on 85 % of rated voltage, and are available from 12 to 600 volts a-c.
Trey are easily converted fr m "on-delay" to "off-delay" and can be supplied with or without auxiliary snap switch.

construction and design features
1 adjustment dial with lock-plate: Micrometer-type
mechanism, operated by a large dial, provides adjustment of time delay period. Dial is clearly marked lending itself to ease of adjustment for a known machine operation. A lockplate is used to lock the adjustment dial in position after time delay has been selected. This positive locking action prevents variations that can be encountered when relay mounting is subjected to severe vibration.
2 timing mechanism: Timing mechanism is housed in
the die cast zinc cue of the pneumatic assembly. Assembly incorporates a large air chamber which permits a long timing range. (See operation diagram at right.) Operation and life tests of the specially prepared rubber diaphragm have proved that it will provide years of trouble-free service even on the heaviest duty cycle.
2 snap-switch: A quick-make quick-break precision snap-
switch initiates the control circuit. The contact is totally enclosed for protection from tampering and dust. Its snapaction, double-break contact construction gives this switch unit a high current rating and makes it ideally suited as a circuit initiation device.
4 base plate and mounting: The open type AM or
AMD relay is mounted using three or four holes in the steel base plate. The base plate is designed to permit mounting on a rough surface without danger of distortion or bending.
These relays are also available mounted in NEMA 1 or 12 enclosures.
5 Operating aixtu The operating arm initiates timing peri
od of the relay from the magnet of the associated contactor.
6 magnet assembly** The a-c magnet assembly consists
of a core built up of sheet steel laminations and coils that are designed to operate satisfactorily on 85% of rated voltages. They are available for voltages to 600 volts, 25 to 60 cycles. Coils are easily changed from the front of the panel. The d-c magnet assembly is a solid core type with coils available from 12 volts to 550 volts d-c.
2 force applied to pin
pushes six into upper cham
ber.
3 force removed from pin: air from upper chamber es capes into lower chamber-- spring assists in returninf pin to static position.
When the actuating pin (a), attached to the lubber diaphragm (b), is raized by action of the magnet frame, air in the lower air chamber (c) is forced through the air passage (d) into the upper t air chamber (e). I Timing is initiated when the force on the actuating pin is removed. I The diaphragm then tends to move downward due to the action of | the spring (not shown) and air returning to the lower air chamber I through a constricted air passage (g). i As the actuating pin moves down, the outer end of the operating ; lever (not shown) moves up, thereby actuating the contacts on the j snap-switch at the proper time. I The overall timing period is determined by the position of the valve nut in the orifice and the air passage space between the valve nut. Variation in the size of the air passage is obtained by rotating the large dial located on top of the assembly. Turning the dial clockwise reduces the air passage and increases the time delay.

Heaters
Each heater is identified by a code marking stamped on one terminal near the mounting hole. The Heater Application Table indi cates the range of full load current to which a given heater may be applied. This range is so selected that the current to produce ultimate tripping of the relay will be approximately 115% to 125% of the rated motor current.
The current rating of the relay (see Heater Application Tables K and N)q is based on an ambient temperature of 40UC. For protection of the motor when it and the relay are operated in a common ambient

temperature, heaters should be applied according to Heater Table for average ap plications. When the room temperature surrounding the motor exceeds that at the starter, assume a decreased motor current of 1% for each degree C. difference in tem perature and select heaters accordingly. When the room temperature'at the starter exceeds that at the motor, assume an in creased motor current of 1% for each degree C. difference in temperature and select heaters accordingly.
Confining the relay in a small space, such as a starter cabinet, with other appa ratus which produces heat will raise its ambient temperature, affecting its tripping value. Heater Application Tables P and S are for use with enclosed starters when the ambient temperature within the cabinet and immediately surrounding the relay is above the ambient temperature in which the motor operates.
Type MW Thermal Overload Relays are used in linestarters and control panels to provide overload protection for motors. Overload protection is obtained by a bi metallic, snap-action disc consisting of two dissimilar metals laminated together and pressed into a concave disc. When heated to a predetermined temperature by a heat ing element, the disc snaps to its convex position, opening the contacts and stopping the motor. When the disc cools, it snaps back to its original position. Attempted reset during this cooling period will not damage the relay. With a proper choice of heaters, the relay may be used on a-c or d-c circuits of from 14.2 to 173 amperes at not more than 600 volts. The relay con tacts will carry and break currents in the contactor coil up to 2 amperes in an a-c circuit and 50 volt-amperes at a maximum of 1 ampere in a d-c circuit.
The relay will provide protection against abnormal load conditions to current values exceeding locked rotor current. In ac cordance with the National Electric Code the relay should be protected against short circuits by fuses rated at not more than four times the rated motor current, or by a time limit circuit breaker set at not more than four times the rated motor cur-
Operation
The relay is designed to operate the con tacts in any one of three positions, "Auto", "Hand" and "No Stop". The position of the control spring in the notched push-rod controls the action of the push-rod.
V/hen the spring is in the "Hand" posi tion at the time the bi-metal snaps open the contacts, the "Reset-Stop" push-rod moves to engage and retain the contacts in the open position. After the disc has cooled, the push-rod may be depressed to reset the contacts to the closed position. The push-rod may also serve as a stop button by depressing it further to open the contacts.

vented from holding the contacts in the open position, hence, when the disc cools off, the contacts will automatically close and re-energize the circuits. The push-rod again may serve as a stop button.
