CCA634 Connector for 1A/5A + Ir CT Current Sensor

Installation Sheet

Retain for future use.

Introduction A current transformer (1A or 5A) is attached to the rear panel of a

Sepam™ relay via the the CCA634 connector. The CCA634 connector can
connect three (3) phase current transformers and one (1) zero sequence
A B C CCA634
current transformer to a Sepam relay.
The CCA634 connector contains interposing ring current transformers (CT)
Ia with through primaries. When measuring phase and zero sequence
Ib currents, these primaries provide impedance matching and isolation
between the 1A or 5A circuits and the Sepam relay.
Ic
The connector can be disconnected while powered on since disconnection
does not open the CT secondary circuit.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Only qualified electrical workers should install this equipment. Such
work should only be performed after reading this entire instruction set.
• NEVER work alone.
• Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on this
equipment, disconnect all sources of electric power. Assume that all
circuits are live until they have been completely deenergized, tested,
and tagged. Pay particular attention to the design of the power system.
Consider all sources of power, including the possibility of backfeeding.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all
power is off.
• Disconnect the Sepam™ unit current inputs by unplugging the CCA634
connector. Do not disconnect the wires from it. The CCA634 connectors
ensure continuity of the current transformer secondary circuits.
• Short-circuit the current transformer secondary circuits before
disconnecting the wires connected to the CCA634 connector.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or

serious injury.

Connecting and Assembling the 1. Open the two side shields (see Figure 2) for access to the connection
CCA634 Connector terminals. The shields can be removed, if necessary, to simplify wiring.
2. Depending on the wiring configuration required, remove or reverse the
Figure 1: View with Side Shields Removed, bridging strap. This is used to link either terminals 1, 2, and 3, or
Terminals Numbered terminals 1, 2, 3, and 9 (see Figure 1, to the left).
NOTE: For more information, see the Sepam™ relay manuals:
— Sepam Series 20 User’s Manual 63230-216-208
— Sepam Series 40 User’s Manual 63230-216-219
— Sepam Series 80 Installation Manual 63230-216-229
3. Use terminal 7 (1A) or 8 (5A) to measure the residual current according
to the CT secondary.
Retaining 4. Connect the wires using 0.16 in (4 mm) ring lugs. The connector
Tabs accommodates wires with cross-sections of AWG 16–10 (1.5–6 mm²).
The wires should only exit the unit base (see Figure 2).
5. Close the side shields.
6. Insert the retaining tabs (see Figure 1) into the slots on the base unit.
7. Pivot the connector toward the unit to plug it into the 9-pin
SUB-D connector.
8. Tighten the mounting screw.

CAUTION
HAZARD OF IMPROPER OPERATION
Side Shield
When connected to Sepam Series 20 or
Series 40:
• Do not use CCA634 and residual current
input Ir on connector A (terminals 18 and 19).

Even if it is not connected to a sensor, a

CCA634 will disturb the Ir input on connector
A.
When connected to Sepam Series 80: Unit Base,
Wire Exit
• Do not use a CCA634 on connector B1 and
residual current input Ir on connector E
(terminals 14 and 16) simultaneously. This
will disturb input Ir on connector E. Figure 3: CCA634 Pins
• Do not use a CCA634 on connector B2 and
residual current input I’r on connector E
(terminals 17 and 18) simultaneously. This 9 1 2 3
will disturb input I’r on connector E.

Failure to follow these instructions can

result in injury or equipment damage. 4 5 6
