Product Information

Full details

This Eaton Industries Xpole power shutoff relay (MPN: Z-LAR32-S) is designed for electricians and automation engineers requiring reliable load shedding capabilities. Its primary benefit is efficient current monitoring and disconnection within a 15-32A range, ensuring system protection. A caveat to note is its specific operating voltage of 250V AC, which must be matched to the application. The relay features an integrated auxiliary contact, compact DIN rail mounting, and robust insulation ratings for demanding environments.

FAQs

What is the maximum current this relay can handle?

The Eaton Xpole power shutoff relay has a rated current range of 15-32A.

What type of contact does the auxiliary circuit have?

It features one Normally Open (N/O) auxiliary contact.

What voltage is required for the relay to operate?

The relay operates at a rated voltage of 250V AC.

How is the relay mounted?

It is designed for top-hat rail (DIN rail) mounting.

What are the dimensions for mounting?

It has a standard front dimension of 45mm and a mounting width of 1 SU (17.5mm).

Can this relay be used for DC loads?

No, this relay is designed for AC applications with a rated voltage of 250V AC.

What is the impulse withstand voltage?

The relay can withstand impulse voltages up to 4 kV.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not switch off when current exceeds limit.

Verify the connected load current is within the 15-32A range. Ensure the relay is correctly wired and receiving the appropriate 250V AC supply. Check if the internal mechanism is obstructed.

Auxiliary contact is not providing a signal.

Confirm the auxiliary contact is correctly wired into the control circuit. Ensure the main relay has been activated (i.e., the load shedding condition has been met) to trigger the auxiliary contact.

Relay appears to be overheating.

Check if the load current is consistently at the upper limit (32A) for extended periods. Ensure adequate ventilation around the relay within the control panel. Verify the correct wire gauge is used.

Unit will not mount on DIN rail.

Ensure you are using a standard 35mm top-hat DIN rail. Check that the relay's mounting clip is not damaged and is properly engaged with the rail.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable load shedding for system protection.
  • Compact and space-saving design for panel mounting.
  • Easy installation on standard DIN rails.
  • Integrated auxiliary contact adds control flexibility.
  • Robust insulation and impulse voltage ratings.

Cons

  • Fixed operating voltage of 250V AC, limiting application scope.
  • Requires careful wiring due to specific terminal sizes.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring DC voltage control.
  • Auxiliary contact configuration is fixed (1 N/O).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely attach the relay to a standard 35mm top-hat DIN rail using its integrated mounting mechanism.
  2. Wiring: Connect the main circuit power supply and the load to the designated terminals. Ensure compliance with the specified terminal cross-sections (main circuit: 2x10 mm², auxiliary circuit: 2x2.5 mm²).
  3. Auxiliary Contact: Wire the integrated 1 N/O auxiliary contact for signaling or interlocking purposes as required by your control system.
  4. Verification: Double-check all connections before applying power to ensure correct polarity and secure connections.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Designed to operate with a rated voltage of 250V AC.
  • Current: Suitable for loads within the 15-32A range.
  • Mounting: Compatible with standard 35mm top-hat DIN rails.

Care:

  • Keep the relay clean and free from dust and moisture.
  • Avoid exposing the relay to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments.
  • Regularly inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
