Internal analog-to-digital converters process phase and ground current waveforms synchronously, streaming raw sampling data across the internal bus without latency. This deterministic network interface allows the relay processing unit to process current differential or overcurrent conditions and trigger Form-C output contacts within millisecond timeframes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can the CT secondary current rating be changed in the field without hardware modification?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes, the 1 A or 5 A nominal CT rating for phase and ground channels is selected directly through the relay firmware setup software, requiring no physical jumper changes on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What is the isolation rating between the digital input terminals and the internal backplane bus?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The digital inputs feature optical isolation rated at 2 kV AC dielectric strength for 1 minute between the field terminals and system ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is this expansion module hot-swappable while the Universal Relay chassis is energized?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, field engineers must fully isolate and de-energize the relay chassis and short the external CT secondary circuits before removing or inserting the module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow these standardized procedures when installing or replacing the module in a Universal Relay 6U chassis:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe-energize the relay chassis power supply and apply shorting blocks to all active CT secondary circuits connected to the module rear terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlign the UR8HH board edges with the target 6U card guide slot in the Universal Relay chassis frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide the card smoothly into the slot until the rear edge connector firmly seats into the backplane bus socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten top and bottom retaining thumbscrews on the front faceplate to ensure chassis ground continuity and mechanical stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect CT current leads, digital input field wiring, and Form-C output control cables according to the panel terminal block map, keeping AC signal wiring separated from DC control leads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42870853501018,"sku":"UR8HH","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5957\/0778\/files\/197.jpg?v=1772241651","url":"https:\/\/www.spareoil.com\/products\/ge-ur-8hh-multilin-universal-relay-digital-i-o-module","provider":"SpareOil Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
