When the EC4 Current Monitoring Relay is in the unpowered state, the trip relay
contact is open. The trip relay contact closes approximately 2.35 seconds after
power is applied if no trip condition exists.
In addition to the trip relay, the EC4 Current Monitoring Relay provides 4 inputs
and 2 outputs. the inputs are rated 24V DC only. For 120V AC inputs, add the
AC input interface module, Cat. No. 193-EIMD
The status of each can be monitored over the DeviceNet network through
parameter 21, Device Status, or one of the input assemblies. Additionally, the
outputs can be controlled over the network by using one of the output assemblies.
Refer to Appendix B — DeviceNet Information for listings of the available input
and output assemblies.
The EC4 Current Monitoring Relay offers added flexibility by providing the
capability to perform control functions with the inputs and outputs through
DeviceLogix.
The EC4 Current Monitoring Relay inputs are independently configurable for
Trip Reset, Remote Trip, L1 Loss Arm, L2 Loss Arm, L3 Loss Arm, L1L2 Loss
Arm, L2L3 Loss Arm, L1L3 Loss Arm, L1L2L3 Loss Arm, and normal
operation.
ATTENTION: If the outputs are being commanded via an
explicit message, ensure that there is no established I/O
connection that is actively controlling them, and that the explicit
message connection has a non-zero expected packet rate (EPR)
setting.

dependent on the OUTA or OUTB Pr FltState, Pr FltValue, Dn
FltState, Dn FltValue, Dn IdlState, and Dn IdlValue
programmable parameters. For details refer to the Output Setup
Group section of Chapter 5 – Programmable Parameters.
ATTENTION: The EC4 Current Monitoring Relay’s output control
firmware latches “OUT A” and “OUT B” closed upon receipt of a
network “close” command. The outputs will maintain the
commanded closed state until receipt of a network “open”
command. Parameters “OutX Pr FltState” and “OutX Pr
FltValue”, found in the EC4 Current Monitoring Relay’s Output
Setup group, allow flexibility concerning the operation of the
outputs in the event of a trip. Factory default settings cause
the outputs to open upon occurrence of a trip. EC4 outputs
that were closed prior to a trip will re-close upon trip
reset, provided that a network “open” command is not
received first.
Status Indication
The EC4 Current Monitoring Relay provides the following LED indicators:
NETWORK STATUS: This green/red LED indicates the status of the network
connection. See Chapter 11 — Troubleshooting for the possible LED
indications and the associated definitions.
TRIP / WARN: This red/amber LED flashes an amber code under a warning
condition and a red code when tripped. The warning or trip code is indicated by
the number of flashes in sequence. Refer to the side label on the product for
trip/warning codes or Chapter 11 — Troubleshooting.

Parameter 27, Single/Three Ph, should be set to single-phase.
Traditional single-phase wiring (connecting T2 to L3) will result in a
vector imbalance of current flowing through the EC4 Current Monitoring
Relay. This will result in inaccurate ground fault reporting and protection.
EC4 Current Monitoring Relays are designed for use with separately mounted,
customer-supplied line current transformers (CTs) as required in higher-current
applications. The FLA setting range is 9…5000 A for these units, with a legal
setting range per current transformer. Parameter 78, CT Ratio, is provided for
setting the current transformer ratio to be installed.
Current Transformer Specifications
The 193-EC_ZZ current monitoring relays are intended for use with CTs with a
secondary current rating of 5 A. The installer shall provide one CT for each
motor phase and shall connect the CT’s secondary leads to the appropriate EC4
Current Monitoring Relay power terminals as shown in . The CTs shall have an
appropriate ratio rating as detailed in Table 3.1. Additionally, the CT shall be
selected to be capable of providing the required VA to the secondary load, which
includes the EC4 Current Monitoring Relay burden of 0.1 VA at the rated

secondary current and the wiring burden. Finally, the CT shall be rated for
protective relaying to accommodate the high inrush currents associated with
motor startup and shall have an accuracy of
≤±2% over its normal operating
range. Typical CT ratings include:
ANSI (USA)Class C5 B0.1
CSA (Canada)Class 10L5
IEC (Europe)5 VA Class 5P10
ATTENTION: The improper selection of a current transformer can
result in the EC4 Current Monitoring Relay reporting inaccurate
motor operational data, and possible motor damage. The selected
current transformer must be rated for protective relaying
applications.
Installation Instructions
Cat. No. 193-EC_ZZ current monitoring relays are designed to be installed in
cat. no. 193-ECPM2 panel mount adapters and connected to separately mounted
current transformers. For panel mount adapter assembly, refer to the instructions
included with the panel mount adapter.The EC4 Current Monitoring Relay must
be mounted a distance equal to or greater than six times the cable diameter
(including insulation) from the nearest current-carrying conductor or current
transformer. For applications employing multiple conductors per phase, the
diameter of each cable should be added and multiplied by six to determine the
proper placement distance for the EC4 Current Monitoring Relay.
ATTENTION: Placement of the EC4 Current Monitoring Relay
closer than the recommended distance of six times the cable
diameter may compromise its current reporting and protection
capabilities.

EC4 Current Monitoring Relays are intended to provide ground fault protection
when used with the Cat. No. 193-CBCT_ external ground fault (core balance)
sensor. The ground fault sensor mounts separately from the EC4 current
monotoring relay and must be placed within three meters of it. The
customer-supplied cable for wiring the ground fault sensor to the EC4 should
meet the specifications outlined in Table 5.
Power Cable Installation Instructions
1. All power cables (including the neutral when used) must pass through the
sensor window. The equipment ground conductor (the conductor used to
carry the non-current-carrying metal parts of equipment, as defined by
Article 100 of the NEC) must not pass through the sensor window.
2. The power cables through the sensor window should be straight, tightly
bundled, centered in the window, and perpendicular to the sensor for a
length equal to or greater than six times the cable diameter (including
insulation) from the sensor.
3. All other conductors with available fault currents in excess of 1 000 A
should be placed a distance equal to or greater than six times the cable
diameter (including insulation) from the sensor.
4. The power cables of the branch circuit to be protected by the EC4 Current
Monitoring Relay must not be grounded on the load side of the ground
fault sensor.
5. If the power cables are enclosed in a conducting jacket, the jacket must be
grounded on the line side of the sensor. The jacket must not pass through
the sensor window, but must be cut at the window and joined with a
conductor that passes outside the sensor window.
