The EPAC is delivered in a cardboard box. The following equipment is contained inside the box:
- the EPAC 3100/3500,
- a plastic bag containing the installer’s guide,
- the assembly kit screw-in or Faston connectors,
- two floppy disk with the man machine interface sofware.
1.1. TRANSPORTATION
The gross weight of the equipment in its packing is 12 kg. It can easily be moved by one person.
The precautions to be taken when transporting the package are those used for the transportation
of electronic equipment.
The cardboard box can withstand a weight of 100 kg without being deformed. You should
therefore avoid stacking more than 5 boxes of the same equipment or any other package
weighting more than 80 kg on top of it.
When handling the box, avoid dropping or knocking it. If the box falls more than 0.80 metres
on one of its surfaces, the equipment components (modules, connectors, board-guides, etc.) may
be damaged or distorted. If the box falls on its corner, the equipment may be damaged in the
same way. Great care must therefore be taken when handling the box.
The packing guarantees that the equipment will remain in good condition when submitted to
accelerations of less than 3 g (g = 9.81 m/s2) for all modes of transport (overland, railway, sea
and air).
The vibration resistance of the EPAC 3100/3500 is in conformance with the response curve
defined by the IEEE Seismic Testing of Relays standard.
1-4
While the equipment is stored on site, it must be kept in its original packing.
The cardboard box must be put on a pallet so that it does not absorb any humidity from the ground.
For long-term storage in a warehouse and for certain types of transport (overland, sea and
tropical), we recommend the use of moisture barriers in order to keep the level of humidity inside
the envelope at a level lower than 5 g of water per m3.
These packages contain dessicant pouches that must be renewed every 6, 12 or 24 months
depending on whether the packing is provided for overland, sea or tropical conditions. The
dessicant pouches are put inside the envelope but do not touch the equipment. Therefore the
equipment may be stored for 3 years in the following storage conditions (no tests are needed
during this period to check that the relay operates correctly):
- stored in a sheltered area without air-conditioning,
- temperature: - 40°C to 70°C,
- relative humidity: less than 95% with no condensation.

4.2. GROUNDING
The equipment is to be grounded to an earth network with a resistance that is always less than
3 ohms. Therefore, the distance between the equipment and the real grounding point must be
minimized.
The grounding braid is connected to the terminal at the rear of the EPAC 3100/3500 rack. It
is identified by the ground symbol. The following diagrams show the grounding braid
connections for the different EPAC 3100/3500 options.

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS

CONTENT
PAGE
The current and voltage inputs are wired to pins 1 to 28 of the X5 connector on the EPAC rear
panel as indicated in figure 5.1a.
To maintain suitable EMC Electro-Magnetic-Compatibility margins provided with this product,
a state-of-art wiring and grounding is required.
We recommend the use of one multiwire (4 to 8 depending on the number of inputs used and
external neutral connection) cable of 4 mm2 for the voltage circuit and one multiwire (4 to 8
depending on external neutral connection) câble of 4 mm2 for 1 A current circuit or 6 mm2 for
5A current.
The external diameter of the cables is recommended as less than 15 mm. If the cables are
connected to cubicle terminals no shielding is required. If the cables are going out, cubicle
shielding of low HF impedance copper is to be provided with short strip large cross section
connections to ground at both ends. Unused wires are to be grounded at both ends.
As far as possible avoid mixing the voltage and current wires and other groups of wires.
The following diagrams show the analog input connections for the different types of zero
sequence current acquisition.

Screw-in
connector
Inputs and outputs contacts are connected to the screw-in LMI or ENTRELEC connectors at the
EPAC rear panel. The X1 and X2 connectors are used to connect the inputs/outputs of the
IO-1 board. The X3 and X4 connectors are used to connect the inputs/outputs of the additional
IO-1 or additional IO-2 board. To maintain suitable EMC margins provided with this product,
a state-of-art wiring and grounding is required.
The wire used must have a cross-section less than 2.5 mm2.
We recommend to use flexible multiwire (5 to 8 dependding on number of groups common)
cable of 1.5 or 2.5 mm2 for tripping contacts.
We recommend to use flexible multiwire (9 to 16 depending on number of groups common)
cable of 0.6 to 1.5 mm2 wire section for input contacts (for all pins of the X2 and X4 connectors
and pins 1 to 4 of the X1 and X3 connectors).
We recommend to use 1 or 2 multiwire (22 to 32 for 1 or 11 to 16 for 2 cables dependding
on number od groups common) cable of 0.6 to 1.5 mm2 wire section for signalling contacts (for
pins 13 to 28 of the X1 and X3 connectors).
The external diameter of cables is recommended as less than 15 mm.
If the cables are connected to cubicle terminals no shielding is required.
If the cables are going out cubicle shielding of low HF impedance copper is to be provide with
short strip large cross section connections to ground at both ends. Not used wires are to be
grounded at both ends.
