B18558/1 Variant

Description
Originally designed to comply with BR speci cation 943. Other versions have since been added to the range.
The relay is identical to the QBA1 except that the four standard contacts in the ‘C’ stack are replaced by two heavy
duty contacts and the four contacts in the ‘B’ stack are replaced by magnetic blowouts for the heavy duty contacts.
The rating of the heavy duty front (HF) contacts is speci ed as follows:

1. They must close the circuit to a dc or single phase a.c. 110 V point machine with a performance to BS581 and
carry a current for a minimum of 10 seconds on a 50% dutycycle.

2. They must break a current of 30 amps in the foregoing conditions when the points are stalled a
minimum of 500 times during the service life of the relay.

3. The must effectively open the circuit with a current of 100 amps dc and a circuit emf of 130 V but need not
remain fully serviceable thereafter.

4. They must not weld when operated in a circuit of prospective current of not less than 200 amps and a circuit
emf of 130 V dc
 Each heavy duty contact terminal is connected to two plugboard connectors in parallel,
A5 D5 each connector should be wired with two wires in parallel to handle the heavy currents
involved. To ensure efficient operation of the magnetic blowouts the connection
polarity shown below must be observed for dc operation.

Packaging EMC Compliance

Q-Relays are packed in a carton holding ten relays;
the same container is used for quantities of four
to nine relays. Quantities less than four are packed
individually in cardboard boxes, as are all train-
carried relays. Each container has a bar-coded label
affixed to the outside, stating details of the packaged
relay(s) and the quantity therein.
Q-Relays comply with the relevant emission
requirements of EN 55014. It is considered that these
relays have inherent immunity to in-service electro-
magnetic disturbance.
A Technical Certi cate for EU Directive on EMC
(89/336/EEC) has been obtained.
