Wiring Steps for Beckwith Electric M-3425A

Ensure all external circuits are de-energized. Short all CT secondary circuits prior to starting wiring work.

Install the M-3425A onto the panel and connect the protective earth terminal to a solid equipment grounding point.

Route secondary wiring from AC voltage transformers (VT) to analog voltage input terminals; comply strictly with specified phase sequence and official VT wiring schematic.

Connect secondary circuits of current transformers (CT) to analog current input terminals. Respect polarity dot markings on the relay and never allow open-circuit CT operation.

Hook up external dry-contact status signals to digital input terminals (IN1–IN6). Avoid applying external voltage to these internally wetted inputs.

Run wiring for trip circuits, alarm signals and control loads to programmable relay output contacts (OUT1–OUT8); isolate control power circuits for trip loops.

Lay communication cables to RS232, RS485 or optional Ethernet port. Adhere to shielding specifications for communication wiring.

Terminate auxiliary DC or AC supply wiring to the relay operating power terminals.

If the Expanded I/O option is equipped, wire additional digital inputs and outputs to matching rear terminals.

Thoroughly verify terminal tightness, phase sequence, CT polarity and insulation clearances.

Take away temporary CT shorting jumpers once the full wiring inspection is completed.

Apply auxiliary power, check measured metering data, and configure CT/VT ratios plus protection parameters through the front HMI or IPScom software.
