1.1 General Description

The TE2 Series is a digitally programmable solid-state reduced voltage
soft starter. Its six SCR design features a voltage/current ramp with an
anti-oscillation circuit for smooth load acceleration. The SCRs are sized
to withstand starting currents of 500% for 20 seconds (Standard Duty)
and up to 500% for 60 seconds (Heavy Duty). The TE2 Series features
smooth, stepless ramp control, which reduces motor inrush current and
excessive wear on the mechanical drive train components. The TE2
Series includes a programming keypad for setting operating parameters
for the ideal starting cycle and protection features, plus easy to
understand diagnostic LEDs. Starting torque, ramp time, current limit,
dual ramp, and Decel control are standard features on the TE2 Series.
By simply adjusting the units’ starting torque, ramp time, and current
limit functions, the starting electrical characteristics of the motor can be
matched to the mechanical characteristics of the drive train for
controlled acceleration of the load. The TE2 Series includes solid-state
electronic overload protection in addition to numerous other protective
features. It requires 120VAC (220VAC optional) control power and uses
dry contact inputs for Start / Stop control. Programmable auxiliary
contacts and provisions for interlocking are also included.

1.2 Sizes and Ratings

The Toshiba TE2 Series starters are current rated controllers. Max.
Amp ratings are for continuous duty and must not be exceeded. Always
check the motor nameplate FLA and Service Factor to ensure proper
sizing.

Each size has an adjustable current range of 50% to 100% of the Max
Amp rating. Table 1.2 shows the Current Ratings available.

1.2.1 Selecting for Service Factor Utilization
Many NEMA design motors include a design rating referred to
as Service Factor (SF) that may allow continuous operation
above the nameplate current rating. If using this Service
Factor, the TE2 Series starter must be sized for the total amps
used. For proper selection of the TE2 Series starter when
using SF continuously, multiply the nameplate FLA by the
stated Service Factor, or use stated Service Factor Amps
(SFA) if listed on the nameplate. The following excerpt is from
the NEMA MG-1 standards for AC Motors that describes the
issues concerning the use of Service Factor ratings.

"When an induction motor is operated at any service factor

greater than 1.0, it may have efficiency, power factor and
speed different than those at rated load. Locked rotor torque
and current and breakdown torque will remain the same. A
motor operating continuously at any service factor greater than

1.0 will have a reduced life expectancy compared to operating
at its nameplate horsepower."

When using this feature, simply program the TE2 Series
Service Factor (F002) to the nameplate rating. (See section

5.6.1.) All other adjustments to the protection circuits are done
automatically within the TE2 Series.

1.2.2 Selecting for Across the Line Bypass
If you need to be able to start the motor Across-the-Line when
the TE2 Series electronics are out of service, the starter can
also be selected based upon the rating of the Bypass
Contactor. Some users may also elect to size their Bypass
Contactors per NEMA guidelines. When doing this, please
refer to the Product Selection Guide for details and notes, and
see Appendix 4 for special considerations regarding Overload
Protection.

1.2.3 The TE2…-BP Series starters include the ability to connect a
dry contact directly to the Bypass Contactor coil control circuit.
These terminals are covered when shipped and should be used
ONLY when necessary for Emergency Bypass operation and with
an external Overload Relay. See Appendix 4 for additional
information.

No field wiring to these terminals is necessary if this feature is not
used.

Chapter 2 - Installation

2.1 Receiving and Unpacking

Upon receipt of the product, you should immediately do the following:
 Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for

shipping damage. If damaged, notify the freight carrier and file a

claim within 15 days of receipt.

 Verify that the model number on the unit matches your purchase

order.

 Confirm that the ratings nameplate on the unit match or are greater

than the motors’ HP and current rating with which it is to be used.

2.2 Choosing a Location

Proper location of the TE2 Series is necessary to achieve specified
performance and normal operational lifetime. The TE2 Series should
always be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:

 Ambient operating temperature: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)

Protected from rain, moisture, and direct sun.

 Humidity: 5 to 95% non-condensing.
 Free from metallic particles, conductive dust, and corrosive gas.
 Free from excessive vibration. (below 0.5G)
 Open panel units must be mounted in the appropriate type of

enclosure. Enclosure size and type must be suitable to dissipate
heat generated by the soft starter and any other components
mounted inside with it.

 Care should always be taken to maximize the available space

inside of the enclosure. See section 2.5.1 or contact factory for
assistance in sizing enclosures.

2.3 Initial Unit Inspection

Make a complete visual check of the unit for damage that may have
occurred during shipping and handling. Do not attempt to continue
installation or start up the unit if it is damaged.

 Check for loose mechanical assemblies or broken wires which may

have occurred during transportation or handling. Loose electrical
connections will increase resistance and cause the unit to function
improperly.

 Prior to beginning the installation, verify that the motor and TE2

Series unit is rated for the proper amperage and voltage.

TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 5 | Page

2.4 SERVICE WARNING!

r

Do not service equipment with voltage applied! The unit can be the
source of fatal electrical shocks! To avoid shock hazard,
disconnect main power and control power before working on the
unit. Warning labels must be attached to terminals, enclosure and
control panel to meet local codes. Use Lockout tags such as the
one shown when servicing equipment.

2.5 Mounting and Cleaning

When drilling or punching holes in the enclosure, cover the electrical
assembly to prevent metal filings from becoming lodged in areas which
can cause clearance reduction or actual electrical shorts. After work is
complete, thoroughly clean, vacuum the area, and re-inspect the unit for
foreign material.

2.5.1 Clearances

Make sure there is sufficient clearance all around the unit for cooling,
wiring, and maintenance purposes. To conserve panel space, the TE2
Series - BP models were designed for close clearances of only 1 inch
(25mm) on either side. A minimum clearance of 4 inches (100 mm) on
the top and bottom is necessary to maximize effective airflow and
cooling. Also the unit must be installed with its heat sink ribs oriented
vertically and running parallel to the mounting surface. Keep in mind
that these are minimums. NEC or local codes may require more
clearance, particularly for the power terminals.

WARNING!
Remove all sources of power before cleaning the unit.

In dirty or contaminated atmospheres, the unit should be cleaned on a
regular basis to ensure proper cooling. Do not use any chemicals to
clean the unit. To remove surface dust, use clean, dry compressed air
only, 80 to 100 psi. A three-inch, high quality, dry paintbrush is helpful to
loosen up the dust prior to using compressed air on the unit. Do not use
wire brushes or other conductive cleaning materials

2.6 Power Terminations

All line and load power terminations are to be made to the tin plated
copper Bus Tabs located on each unit. Bus tabs are pre-drilled to
accept industry standard bolts. Toshiba recommends using crimp-on
ring lugs, although mechanical compression lugs are suitable as well.
The following diagrams show sizes of the bus tab holes and critical
spacing between them for determining the size of lug that can be used.

Chapter 3 - Motor Overload Protection

3.1 Solid State Overload Protection

MOTOR FLA (F001)

must be programmed

for unit to operate!

Examples:

H100

100% Thermal

Capacity remaining

at rest

H057

57% Thermal Capacity
remaining after starter

(43% used)

The TE2 Series Starter provides true U.L. listed I
Protection as a built-in function of the main digital processor for
maximum motor protection. It mimics the tripping action of a bi-metallic
overload relay, with the accuracy and repeatability of a digital control
system. It is adjustable over a wide range and is easily be programmed
to different trip curves.

3.1.1 Thermal Memory

The TE2 Series microprocessor uses a sophisticated “Thermal
Register” in the digital memory to keep track of motor heating and
cooling over time regardless of the starter’s power status. By using non­volatile memory, the TE2 Series does not “forget” that the motor has
been running even if power to the starter is turned off and turned back
on. Continuous overload protection is provided based on the true
thermal condition of the motor.

3.1.2 Thermal Capacity

The Thermal Register is displayed as a percentage. This percentage is
the motor’s remaining thermal capacity. The percentage value begins at
100; showing that the motor is cool (has 100% of its capacity available).
As the motor heats up or moves toward an overload condition, the
percentage begins to drop. The Thermal Capacity is derived from the
programmed motor nameplate Full Load Amps (FLA) in Function F001,
the Service Factor rating in Function F002, and the Overload Trip Class
in Functions F003 and F004. Setting these functions to the proper
values provides maximum protection and eliminates nuisance tripping.

The Remaining Thermal Capacity is viewed by using the UP or DOWN
arrow keys when in the Status Display mode. From the default Phase A
Current screen (dot on right side), press the UP arrow key 4 times to
display [H100] meaning there is 100% of the Thermal Capacity (H =
Heat capacity) remaining in the motor. After starting or running, the
motor will use this capacity and the display will show a lower number.
For example, after a cold start, the display may read [H065] which
indicates that the motor has 65% of its thermal capacity remaining (35%
used). The Status Display screens cycle back to the beginning, so the
Down arrow keys can access this display as well.

 3.1.2.a Motor Full Load (FLA) Setting

Use Function F001 to enter motor FLA as indicated on the motor
nameplate. (Do not calculate for service factor, this is programmed
separately in F002).

 Note:

All TE2 Series starters are shipped from the factory with F001 set
to a default value of 0000. If F001 is left at the factory default, the
unit will not operate. If the user attempts to start the TE2 Series
without entering the motor nameplate FLA, the starter will Fault and
the display will read “nFLA” (no Full Load Amps).

TE2

Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 11 | Page

3.1.3 Disabling the Overload Protection

The Overload Protection feature can be disabled if necessary. When
using external devices such as Motor Protection Relays or when the
TE2 Series is wired downstream from an existing starter, this feature
can be disabled to prevent conflicts with external Overload Protection
devices. When the TE2 Series is controlling multiple motors, the built-in
Overload Protection must be disabled and individual thermal overload
relays must be installed on the motor leads going to each motor (see
Appendix 4 for additional details). To disable the Overload Protection
function, use F005.

WARNING!
Do NOT disable Overload Protection unless another Thermal

Overload Protection device exists in the circuit for all three
phases. Running a motor without Overload Protection presents serious

risk of motor damage or fire.

 3.1.3.a Manual Reset

The factory default setting is Manual Reset. This means that when
the Overload Trip is activated, the starter cannot be restarted
without pressing the Reset key. The Overload Trip will not reset
until the motor cools down (see 3.1.3.d). The Manual Reset function
is also “trip free”. Holding in the Reset key will not prevent the
Overload Trip from activating and protecting the motor.

 Note:

When the Overload Trip activates, the Overload LED will be on
solid. When the motor cools down, the LED will begin to flash,
indicating that the Overload Trip can be reset.

 3.1.3.b Automatic Reset

If Automatic Reset is necessary, change from Manual Reset to
Automatic Reset by using Function F005. (See Section 5 for
details). In this mode, a 3-wire control circuit will be capable of
restart when the TE2 Series has reset itself after the cool down
period.

WARNING!
Two-wire control systems may restart without warning when Auto

Reset of the Overload Protection is selected. Extreme caution
should be exercised. To prevent automatic restarting with 2-wire
control systems, use external interlocking to provide sufficient
warning and safety to operators. A Warning Label similar to that
shown below (and the one provided in the packet with this manual)
must be located where visible (on the starter enclosure and/or the
driven equipment) as required by local code.

WARNING: M OT OR CONNECT ED T O T HIS EQUIPM ENT

MAY ST ART AUT OMAT ICALLY WIT HOUT WARNING

TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 12 | Page

 3.1.3.c Overload Protection During Bypass

When an integral Bypass Contactor is used to shunt power around
the SCRs in the TE2 Series (as in the TE2…-BP version), overload
protection is maintained as long as the TE2 Series is directly
controlling the contactor. No additional Overload Relay is

necessary for normal operation.

 When the Bypass Contactor on a TE2…-BP Series has been

selected to be used for Across-the-Line restart (reference section

1.2.3), supplemental overload protection is necessary. For this
application, refer to the External Overload Relay Applications
supplement and wiring diagram in Appendix 4.

 3.1.3.d Dynamic Reset Capacity

The TE2 Series includes the ability to dynamically track the
Thermal Capacity needed for a successful restart after an overload
trip. It averages the Thermal Capacity consumed in the previous
three successful starts, and calculates a Thermal Capacity to Start
(viewed in Function F059). After tripping on Overload, the Thermal
Register must have regained the amount recorded in F059 before a
Reset will be allowed. If the display reads [Inh] when attempting to
reset an overload trip, it is indicating that the starter is Inhibited from
being reset.

Refer to details of Function F071 for information on emergency
override of lockouts such as this.

3.2 NEMA Class Trip Curves

NEMA Class trip curves are based on a common tripping point of 600%
of motor Full Load Amps (FLA). Curves vary by the amount of time
before the unit trips. As an example, a Class 20 curve will trip in 20
seconds at 600% of FLA. The factory default setting of Class 10 will trip
in 10 seconds at 600% of FLA.

3.2.1 Dual Overload Trip Curves

The TE2 Series Soft Starter provides two separate Overload Trip
Protection Curves, one for starting and one for running conditions. The
starter’s At-Speed detection circuit determines when the motor has
reached full speed. When the At-Speed condition is reached, the
overload trip curve will shift from the Start to the Run level, as
programmed in Functions F003 and F004. See Section 5.6.1 for
programming details.

3.2.2 Starting Overload Trip Curve

During the start mode, Overload Trip Curves are selectable from NEMA
Class 5 through Class 30 only. The default setting of Class 10 allows
protection for the overload capacity of the soft starter as well as the
motor. Use a higher Trip Class only if nuisance tripping occurs with the
default setting.

TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 13 | Page

3.2.3 Running Overload Curve

During the Run mode, Overload Trip curves are selectable from NEMA
Class 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. Program the appropriate curve
according to the characteristics of your motor and load.

4.1.2 Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Power factor correction capacitors can be connected to motors

TE2 Power Connections

Figure 4.1:

4.1 Power Connections

Refer to national and local code for wire sizing and length, connect
power conductors to the unit input terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (R, S, T
for IEC users). Use appropriate compression or mechanical lugs for
termination to these bus tabs. Avoid routing power wires over the
control board or display. Connect the motor leads to the unit terminals
marked T1, T2, T3 (U, V, W for IEC users). If control power is present,
but line power is disconnected from L1, L2, L3, the display will show

[n3PH] indicating “no 3 Phase”.

Caution!

Never interchange input and output connections to
the unit. This could cause excessive voltage in the
control logic circuit and may damage the unit.

4.1.1 Bypass Contactor

Bypass Contactors are integral (built-in) on all TE2 sizes. See sections

1.2.3, 3.1.3.c, and Appendix 4 for more details on contactor control and
overload protection details.

controlled by TE2 Series starters; however they must be off-line during
ramping. Connect PFC capacitors to the Line side of the starter with a
separate capacitor control contactor.

WARNING!
Never connect power factor correction capacitors on the load side

of the unit. The SCRs will be seriously damaged if capacitors are
located on the load side.

4.1.3 Grounding

Connect the ground cable to the ground terminal as labeled on the unit.
Refer to the National Electrical Code or your local Code for the proper
ground wire size, and be sure that the ground connector is connected to
earth ground.

TE2

Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 15 | Page

4.1.4 Testing
The TE2 Series can be tested with a load smaller than the motor it was

originally selected to control, however additional steps must be taken to
avoid tripping on Phase Current Loss. See section 5.6.8.a under “Phase
Loss Protection” for additional details on performing this task.

 Notes:

The unit cannot be tested without a motor or other test load
connected to the load side of the unit. It may be necessary to use a
load bank to test the unit without a motor.

 Line voltage will appear across the output terminals if there is no

motor or load connected to the unit.

4.1.5 Lightning Protection

As with all electronic power controllers, protection from damage by
lightning surges is recommended in areas where lightning is a
significant problem. Stationary SPDs (Surge Protection Device) should
be considered and utilized on the input power source. The best method
of protection is to have an Isolation Contactor in front of the starter that
is open when the soft starter is not in use. Enclosed versions may be
provided with a surge protection device.

4.2 Control Connections

Control connections on the TE2 Series starter are divided into 2 groups.
With the unit oriented vertically, TB1 is a 12-point DC terminal block (on
the left), and TB2 is a 10-point AC terminal block (on the right side).
These are removable terminal blocks for ease of connection and
servicing, and are provided with different spacing (pitch) between the
header pins, so they are not interchangeable. Following are descriptions
of control connection points.

 Note:

Terminal numbers are shown on the side of the first and last
terminal of each block. An additional 3 point terminal on the far left
side is for serial communication connections (see section 5.6.10).

 4.2.1.a Control Power Requirements

When sizing a control power transformer for the TE2…-BP Series
starter use the above chart for minimum sizes or supply capacity.
Any additional control devices powered by the same CPT must be
added to the above values to ensure proper operation of the Bypass
Contactor.

 4.2.1.b Control Fusing

The output relay contacts (TB2) must be protected from currents in
excess of 5A by either using fuses or other suitable current
protection devices.

 A dedicated fault output for use in PLC or interposing relay control

is available on TB1. This opto-isolated Triac switch is rated for
50mA max., 10-250V AC. Any circuit connected to it must be fused
accordingly.

TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 17 | Page

4.2.2 Three-Wire Control Connection

For standard 3-wire control, connect dry (voltage free) contacts for the
Stop / Start buttons as shown on the diagram directly above the terminal
strip. Connect the N.O. contact of the Start button to Terminal 1 (far left
terminal), the common point between the Stop and Start to Terminal 2

nd

(2

from left) and the N.C. from the Stop button to Terminal 3 (3rd from

left).
 4.2.2.a Seal In Contact

The TE2 Series uses an internally pre-wired “seal-in” contact
around the Start button (Terminals 1 and 2). No external relay or
auxiliary output connection is necessary.

4.2.3 Two Wire Control: Relay / PLC Connection

An alternate connection for automated or unattended operation replaces
the start/stop push buttons by connecting a dry (voltage free)
maintained contact closure between terminals 1 and 3 as shown in
Figure 4.2.3. When this contact is closed, the TE2 Series starter will
start and run. When it is opened, it is the same as a Stop command.

 4.2.3.a Automatic Functions and 2-Wire Control

When using the Auto Reset functions (F052 - F053), special
consideration must be given to using 2-wire control. Refer to section

5.6.8 for details on using Auto-Reset functions.

 Note:

When a maintained contact is used for start/stop, it is advisable to
set the overload relay to the manual reset position. This will prevent
the motor from restarting if the thermal overload trips and then cools
down.

CAUTION!
Control Terminals 1-10 of TB1 are configured using solid state

devices powered internally with a 24VDC power supply. To prevent
damage to the TE2 Series control board, use dry (unpowered)
contact closures only when connecting to these terminals.

If existing 120VAC or other powered control circuit must be
interfaced, use isolating relays.

4.2.4 Interlock Connection

TB1 provides a connection point for an external dry (voltage free) N.C.
(Normally Closed) interlock device between terminals 4 and 5.
Examples where this interlock connection would be used include low oil,
high temperature, or excess vibration dropout from user supplied
devices. A factory-installed jumper is provided which allows the TE2
Series unit to operate if external interlocks are not used. If this jumper is
removed and an interlock is not used, the TE2 Series unit will not
function.

TE2

Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 18 | Page

Note: Ramp 2 terminals are defaulted as
“External Reset”, see parameter F113 for
other options.

Note: Jog terminals are defaulted as
“External Lockout, Normally Closed”, see
parameter F113 for other options.

4.2.5 Enabling the Dual Ramp and Jog Features

TB1 includes provisions for enabling the Dual Ramp and Jog functions
by using external contact closures. Both features use a common
+24VDC from Terminal 7. However, they can be used independently of
each other or together. See sections 5.6.2 and 5.6.3 for full function
descriptions and setup.

 4.2.5.a Dual Ramp Command

Closing a dry (voltage free) contact between TB1, terminals 6 and 7
will enable Ramp 2, and the TE2 Series starter will respond to the
settings for Ramp 2 in F015 - F018. If no contact closure is present,
the TE2 Series starter defaults to the Ramp 1 parameters (F011 -
F014). See Section 5.6.2.a for setup of the Dual Ramp Feature.

The Dual Ramp feature is useful in instances where the load
changes significantly. Example: a loaded or unloaded conveyor belt.
The characteristics for starting an unloaded conveyor can be
programmed for Ramp 1. The characteristics for starting a loaded
conveyor can be programmed for Ramp 2. Ramp 2 can also be
programmed for Full Voltage / Across-the-Line starting by setting
the ramp time to 0 and Current to 600%.

Dual Ramp is also useful in 2-speed motor applications. Simply use
an auxiliary contact from one of the speed contactors to select
Ramp 2 so that separate ramp profiles can be used.

Dual Ramp input can also be configured as a “Remote reset”

(See parameter F113 and associated table)

 4.2.5.b Jog / Remote Command

Connecting a dry (voltage free) contact between TB1, Terminals 7
and 8 will enable the Jog feature. A Start command (Run Command
or Start button) is required to activate the Jog feature. See Section

5.6.3 for setup of the Jog Function.

The Jog feature can be used for tasks such as lining up machines
for blade or bit changes, or inching belts along to check tracking.

This input is also used to change the function of the Serial
Communications port control through F068. For additional
information, see instructions of that function in section 5.6.11.

Jog input can be also configured as:

 “Remote” (via comm. link) / “Local” (T-strip), Start stop control.
 “External Lockout” (N.O.)
 “External Lockout” (N.C.)

(See parameter F113 and associated table)

 4.2.5.c Using Both Commands

It may be useful to initialize the Ramp 2 and Jog command
simultaneously when jogging. If this is the case, terminals 6 and 8
can be jumped together and controlled with one contact closure to
Terminal 7 (the common 24VDC).

TE2 Series Digital Solid State Soft Starter User Manual 19 | Page

4.2.6 Analog Output (4-20mA)

The TE2 Series starter provides a 4 to 20 milliamp output signal that
can be set to monitor different parameter values using F108 and scaled
with parameter F109 and F110. See section 5.5.16.

 4.2.6.a External Overload Relay Connection

If an external Overload Relay (OLR) is used (see Section 3.1.3.c and
Appendix 4), connect the N.C. aux. contact of the OLR across the
Jog input (TB1 terminals 7&8), and re-program the Jog input for
“External Lockout N/C”, by changing F113 per table in sect 5.6.17.

When the external OLR trips, the contact will open. This indicates an
immediate Overload to the starter, which trips and displays [LcA,
Lcc, or Lcd] depending on operation mode when the overload trips.
If multiple OLRs are used, i.e. multiple motors controlled by the same
TE2 Series starter, simply wire the Aux Contacts in series as shown
in Figure 4.2.6.a. See Appendix 4 for additional information.

Note:
This feature is especially useful when using Deceleration Control
because it will immediately shut off power to the motor even if
Deceleration is active. If used this way, the trip indication will be
[LcA, Lcc, or Lcd] depending on the operation mode when the trip
is issued.

4.2.7 Fault Signal

An optically isolated Triac output is dedicated as a fault indicator on
TB1, terminals 11 and 12, labeled “Opto”. The output Triac switch is
rated for 10 - 250VAC, 50 mA (maximum). If the three programmable
Output Auxiliary Relays are being used for other functions, this output
can easily be hooked up to a PLC or small external relay to provide a
Fault signal. This Fault Output operation is permanently fixed at “Any
Trip”, duplicating the relay setting 22 as shown in Table 5.6.9.

This output is permanently set to this function and is not
programmable.

4.2.8 Output (Auxiliary) Relay Contacts

Three programmable auxiliary relays are on TB2. The TE2 Series
starter comes with three programmable dry relay output contacts.
Outputs 1 and 2 are Form C (SPDT), with a Common, N.O. and N.C.
Output 3 is a Form A, (SPST), N.O. contact. It is not necessary to use
the programmable output auxiliary relays in the Start / Stop circuit. An
internal seal-in relay is provided elsewhere (see 4.2.2.a). Toshiba
recommends fusing all outputs with external fuses.

The relays are rated for 240VAC, 5 A and 1200 VA.
Factory default settings for these relays are as follows:
 AUX 1 - Run / Stop (see F060).This contact changes state upon a

Start command, returns to normal on Stop (or Begin Decel if active).

 AUX 2 - At-Speed / Stop (see F061).This contact changes state

upon the TE2 Series detecting At-Speed, and returns to normal on
Stop. At-Speed is determined by the TE2 Series detecting the
current dropping after reaching End-of-Ramp, or a maximum of 30
seconds after Start.

 AUX 3 - Any Trip (see F062) This contact closes when any trip

condition 5 - 21 (as defined in Table 5.6.9) occurs.

All relays can be reprogrammed for a wide variety of functions.
See Section 5.6.9 for additional relay programming details.
