CONSTRUCTION XLALZA ‘The XLAI2A test plug consists of a black and red Textolite* molding with twenty electrically separate contact fingers connected to ten con- centric binding posts. ‘The ten contact fingers on the black side are connected to the inside binding posts with the black thumb nuts and engage the relay internal connections. The contact. fingers on the red side are connected to the outer binding posts with the red thumb nuts and engage the equip- ment case stud connections. See Fig, 1. The con- centric binding posts are numbered on the nameplate, and the corresponding contact fingers are numbered on each side of the test plug. When using the test plug in the bottom of the relay, numbers one to ten, corresponding to the relay studs, appear upright, while numbers eleven to twenty are upside down, It is impossible, due to its construction, to insert the plug into the bottom of a relay with numbers one to ten up-side down. By the same token, numbers eleven to twenty will always appear in the up-right position when the plug is inserted in the top of a relay. Removable test links for through connection, test clipe and short-lreuiting clips are furnished with each test plug. See Fig, 4. XLAISA The XLA13A test plug consists of a black Textolite* molding with ten electrically separate contacts. Each contact terminates at a separate binding post. ‘See Fig. 2. When the relay connecting plug is withdrawn any current transformer second- aries will be short circuited by shorting bars in the case. The insertion of the XLA13A test plug does * Reg, Trade-Mark of General Electric Company not disturb the current transformer shorting ar rangement. The diagonally staggered binding posts are numbered, Numbers one to ten, corresponding to the relay stud connections, appear up-right when using this plug in the botfom of a relay, while number eleven to twenty appear up-side’ down. Because of its design, the XLA13 test plug cannot be inserted into the bottom of a relay with numbers fone to ten up-side down, Thus, the contacts of the inserted plug will always be toward the relay. TESTING Routine testing can be accomplished by re- moving the relay cover and substituting either test plug for the connecting plug. XLALZA Several pieces of hardware are supplied with this test plug (See Fig. 6). ‘The U-shaped link is, used to make through ‘connections, relay stud to case terminals. ‘The long, open end link is used to, short circuit any current transformers and any normally closed contacts, This link must be in- serted in the proper place under the red thumb nuts before the test plug is inserted in the unit, Two sizes of corregated end links are provided so standard test clips can be used. These links are also provided with a hole so that a secure bolted connection may be obtained. ‘Typical separate source test connections and wiring diagram for TYPE IAC overcurrent relays are shown in Fig. 3, A conventional representation of test con- nections used on wiring diagrams is shown in Fig. 9, An outline of this plug Is shown in Fig. 11. XLAISA No external provisions need be made for short- ing current transformer secondaries or any normally closed contacts because the plug is so designed that, the side away from the relay to be tested does not come into contact with any of the connecting fingers in the case, Power source connections can be secured to the studs of the plug by the black thumb nuts. These instructions do not purport to cover oll details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency fo be met in connection with insellation, operation or maintenance. Should further information be desired ‘or should particular problems orise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser's purposes, the matter should be roferred fo the General Electric Company.GEI-25372 Test Plugs for Drawout Relays and Meters 9 Tuo . stone Fig. 8 Typical Separate Source Connections ané Wiring Diagran for Testing an IAC Overcurrent Relay Using the XLAI2\ Test Plug vera OR BOLTED.
