Installation Instructions: Protector Trip Relays DIN Rail & Wall Mounted 250 Series Paralleling & Reverse Power

The document provides installation instructions for Protector Trip Relays models 256-PLL, 256-PLD, 256-PAS, 256-PAT, 256-PAQ, and 256-PAR. The relays monitor parameters like voltage, phase, frequency, and power flow to protect generators connected in parallel. The summary is: 1) The relays monitor parameters of generators connected in parallel and provide switching or alarms if parameters exceed limits. 2) Proper installation is required to prevent hazards, including mounting relays in a dry area and using appropriate fusing. 3) Settings should be adjusted according to operational requirements, with calibration marks provided as a guide if accurate equipment is unavailable.
