White Papers

Designing Energy Services for Commercial and Industrial Customers

Over the past year, technology advances and high energy prices have stimulated interest in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). Discussions are wide-ranging. Some focus globally: Australian and Canadian “smart metering”, new European Union requirements, the results of time-of-use pilots that arose in the wake of California’s deregulation debacle.

Serial Lock-Out Relay Provides Remote Trip and Reset

The new Electroswitch Series 24 Serial Lock-Out Relay (SLOR) is an addressable network device (certified DNP 3.0 protocol) that provides remote trip and reset capability, trip-coil monitoring, IRIG-B sequence-of-events reporting, system battery monitoring, self-diagnostic reporting and two auxiliary monitoring inputs available for customer use. A manual reset handle provides standard Lock-Out Relay local control.

The SLOR provides value by freeing up RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) points; reducing point-to-point wiring; simplifying load-shedding applications; and minimizing testing, commissioning and training. The SLOR combines the functions of multiple devices, allowing the elimination of separate equipment such as discrete battery monitors, a local/remote control switch, coil-monitoring lamps and additional reclosing relays.

The SLOR's standard Smart Nameplate provides a traditional mechanical target indicating trip/reset status as well as replaceable indicator LEDs for trip-coil monitoring, trip signal presence, serial-bus transmit/receive and local/remote status.

The SLOR is rated 30 A/600 V (continuous) with a circuit-breaker coil making ability of 95 A-125 VDC. UL interrupt ratings are 20 A-120 VAC, 15 A-240 VAC, 6 A-600 VAC, 3 A-125 VDC and 1 A-250 VDC. All Series 24 products meet the transient protection standards of IEEE C37.90.1 and IEC 61000-4-4 as well as IEEE C37.90.2, 90.3 and other applicable IEC Standards.

The SLOR is available in three, five or eight decks, and each enclosed deck contains two N/O and 2 N/C contacts. Rotor contacts are double-wiping, silver inlay phosphor-bronze. The rotary and stationary contacts contain silver alloy contact surfaces that provide exceptionally low contact resistance over the life of the product for low level applications.
