 The device shall protrude into the space behind the mounting panel to a depth no greater than
160mm.

 The relay shall have a draw-out construction to facilitate testing, maintenance and interchange
flexibility. The draw-out construction shall ensure that any connected CT circuits are not at risk of
open-circuiting at any time during extraction or when the relay’s active part is extracted.
 The device shall not include any internal battery, facilitating UN3091 air transit compliance.

Enclosure Protection

The degree of protection offered shall be as per IEC 60529: 2013:

to inadvertent touching. Any ring terminals shall be shielded with a terminal block cover.

 The device shall be housed in a robust metallic case wrapper.
