System Configuration
The figure on the right shows the system configuration of the Inrush Limiter.
The Inrush Limiter receives the manual close signal of the circuit breaker for the transformer bank and controls the phase timing at which to close the circuit breaker. The Inrush Limiter never interferes with the manual closing operation.

Installation Procedures
Construction and Installation
The Inrush Limiter is designed as a modular unit that is easy to install or remove in a control panel. It can be installed in the substation control panel, or in a stand-alone cabinet.- ■ The units are constructed from a case and modular base (contents). The modular base slides out of the case.
- ■ The units are connected by a special cable with connectors, and inputs and outputs are wired to the customer’s equipment via terminals.
- ■ All connectors and terminals are located on the rear panel of the modular base. The terminals are plug-in style connectors.
- ■ The modular base is easy to remove. Simply unplug the connectors and remove the four screws in the front panel.
