I'm in the scrap business and I'm trying to identify this box I've acquired. It's got three timing relays inside of it and encased in windows on the outside of the box are two current sensing relays. There is also a running time meter on the outside. There are several other components both on the outside and inside of the box that I've yet to identify. I know this item came from a substation and that's about all the information I have. Anybody have any ideas as to what this box is?
Thanks
Thanks

It could be one of a thousand things with that description. Any number

or manufacturer info on it. ( If there was you probably would have said
so but I had to ask)

In article <kmdv6l$ack$1...@pcls6.std.com>,
Most manufacturers of such equipment would put their marks on them just
to get follow-up business if nothing else. There is a good chance that
it was fabricated by someone knowledgeable where it was used. I remember
dealing with something like that using time delay relays (no
electronics) over fifty years ago. If of that nature, it is feasible, if
expensive, trace out the circuit to get a schematic electrical diagram.
Why would you think that such a device would be useful in a new
application? My guess is that better equipment is now available.

I'm sure it's obsolete, I'm just trying to estimate its value as a whole and figure out if that's worth more than the individual parts. It seems like it probably was made for a very specific job so won't be worth much more than what I can get breaking it down. Thanks for the advice, everyone.
