1MRS756375 T Unpacking, inspecting and storing Unpacking, inspecting and storing Removing transport packaging Protection relays require careful handling. Examine the delivered products to ensure that they have not been damaged during the transport. Remove the transport packaging carefully without force. Attach the protective film (supplied with the protection relay) on the top side of the unit for the installation phase.
Returning a product damaged in transit If damage has occurred during transport, appropriate actions must be taken against the latest carrier. Please inform the nearest ABB office or representative. Notify ABB immediately if there are any discrepancies in relation to the delivery documents. Storing If the protection relay is stored before installation, it must be done in the original transport packaging in a dry and dust free place.
1MRS756375 T Mounting Mounting Checking environmental conditions and mounting space The mechanical and electrical environmental conditions at the installation site must be within the limits described in the technical manual. • Avoid installation in dusty, damp places. Avoid places susceptible to rapid temperature variations, powerful vibrations and shocks, surge voltages of high amplitude and fast rise time, strong induced magnetic fields or similar extreme conditions.

Mounting 1MRS756375 T Lift the handle to 90 degrees to release the latching mechanism. The plug-in unit is pushed about 7 mm out of the case and the connectors are separated. Pull the unit out of the case. Figure 2: Detaching a plug-in unit from the case The protection relay features an automatic short-circuit mechanism in the CT connector.
1MRS756375 T Mounting 4.2.2 Installing plug-in unit The protection relay is constructed in a way that a plug-in unit with voltage- or current-measuring inputs can only be plugged into a corresponding case. This prevents fitting an unsuitable plug-in unit into a wrong case. Before fitting the plug-in unit into the case, check that the unit and the case have the same serial number.

Mounting 1MRS756375 T 4.2.3 Sealing plug-in unit The front panel of the protection relay has an integrated sealing screw. By default the screw is screwed all the way in and is not used when installing or detaching the plug-in unit. Open the sealing screw about nine turns.
1MRS756375 T Mounting 4.2.4 Securing handle The front panel of the protection relay has an integrated sealing screw. By default, the screw is screwed all the way in and not used when installing or detaching the plug-in unit. Instead of sealing the plug-in unit, the sealing screw and the spacer supplied with the protection relay can be used for securing the handle in place.
