par

-

ticularly

applicable

to

protect

a

combination

.

It

also

may

be

applied

to

three

.

CAUTION

Before

putting

relays

into

service

,

remove

all

blocking

which

may

have

been

inserted

for

the

purpose

of

securing

the

parts

during

shipment

,

make

sure

that

all

moving

parts

operate

freely

,

inspect

the

contacts

to

see

that

they

are

clean

and

close

properly

,

and

operate

the

relay

to

check

the

settings

and

electrical

connections

.

These

instructions

apply

to

the

following

types

of

relays

:

2.4

Indicating

Contactor

Switch

Unit

(

ICS

)

The

dc

indicating

contactor

switch

is

a

small

clapper

-

type

device

.

A

magnetic

armature

,

to

which

leaf

-

spring

mounted

.

The

front

spring

,

in

addition

to

holding

the

target

,

provides

restraint

for

the

armature

and

thus

controls

the

pick

-

of

the

switch

.

2.5

OPERATION

The

types

HU

and

HU

-

1

relays

are

connected

to

the

protected

transformer

as

shown

in

Figures

10

and

11

.

The

HU

-

4

is

connected

to

the

protected

trans

-

former

as

shown

in

Figure

12

.

In

such

a

connection

the

relays

operate

to

protect

the

transformer

for

faults

internal

to

the

differential

zone

of

the

trans

-

former

,

but

not

for

faults

external

to

the

zone

.

Neither

do

the

relays

operate

on

magnetizing

inrush

currents

2.2

Harmonic

-

Restraint

Unit

(

HRU

)

The

harmonic

-

restraint

unit

of

the

HU

relays

consists

of

an

air

gap

operating

transformer

,

a

second

har

-

monic

block

filter

,

a

fundamental

block

second

har

-

,

two

full

-

wave

rectifiers

,

indicating

unit

,

varistor

,

and

a

dc

polar

unit

.

Taps

are

also

incorporated

in

this

unit

to

compen

-

sate

for

mismatch

of

the

line

current

transformers

.

Changing

a

tap

on

the

restraint

transformer

of

the

differential

unit

also

changes

the

tap

of

this

unit

.

2.3

Polar

Unit

The

polar

unit

consists

of

a

rectangular

shaped

mag

-

netic

frame

,

an

electromagnet

,

a

permanent

magnet

,

and

an

armature

.

The

poles

of

the

crescent

shaped

permanent

magnet

bridge

the

magnet

frame

.

The

magnetic

frame

consists

of

three

S

associated

with

energization

of

the

transformer

even

though

these

currents

may

appear

as

an

internal

fault

.

To

avoid

these

false

operations

,

each

unit

of

the

relay

performs

a

separate

function

.

The

differen

-

tial

unit

(

DU

)

prevents

operation

on

an

external

fault

,

while

the

harmonic

-

restraint

unit

(

HRU

)

prevent

op

-

erations

on

magnetizing

inrush

currents

.

Hence

,

the

operation

of

the

relay

can

best

be

described

under

the

headings

of

external

fault

current

,

internal

fault

currents

,

and

magnetizing

inrush

currents

.

and

HU

-

1

relays

and

to

the

sum

of

the

restraint

cur

-

rent

flowing

in

the

HU

-

4

relay

.

The

sum

of

the

re

-

straint

current

flows

into

the

operating

transformer

and

produces

an

excess

of

operating

torque

,

and

the

differential

unit

operates

.

In

the

case

of

an

internal

fault

fed

from

one

source

only

,

the

fault

current

flows

in

one

restraint

trans

-

former

and

the

operating

transformer

.

An

excess

of

operating

torque

is

produced

on

the

differential

unit

and

it

operates

.

Faults

normally

appear

as

an

offset

sine

wave

with

a

decaying

dc

component

,

and

contain

very

few

har

-

monics

.

As

a

result

,

the

harmonic

-

restraint

unit

will

operate

during

internal

faults

to

permit

tripping

of

the

relay

.

For

heavy

internal

faults

,

the

indicating

instanta

-

neous

trip

unit

(

NT

)

will

operate

.

Since

this

unit

is

connected

to

an

air

gap

transformer

,

essentially

only

the

sine

wave

component

of

an

internal

fault

is

ap

-

plied

to

the

NT

unit

.

The

dc

component

of

the

fault

is

bypassed

by

the

transformer

primary

.

The

varistor

connected

across

the

dc

side

of

the

re

-

straint

rectifier

of

the

harmonic

restraint

unit

prevents

excessive

voltage

peaks

from

appearing

across

the

rectifiers

.

These

peaks

arise

through

transformer

ac

-

tion

of

the

harmonic

-

restraint

polar

-

unit

coils

during

heavy

internal

faults

.

The

varistor

has

a

large

value

of

resistance

for

low

voltages

,

while

presenting

a

low

value

of

resistance

for

high

voltages

.

This

character

-

istics

effectively

reduces

the

voltage

spikes

on

heavy

internal

faults

while

not

hampering

perfor

-

mance

during

inrush

,

where

the

voltage

is

consider

-

ably

lower

.

3.1

External

Fault

Currents

The

HU

family

of

relays

have

a

variable

percentage

characteristic

.

This

means

that

the

operating

current

required

to

close

the

contact

of

the

differential

unit

expressed

in

percent

of

restraint

varies

with

the

magnitude

of

the

larger

restraint

current

in

the

HU

and

HU

-

1

current

relays

and

with

the

sum

of

the

re

-

straint

current

in

the

HU

-

4

relays

.

Figures

13

and

14

illustrate

these

characteristics

.

To

use

these

curves

,

divide

each

restraint

current

by

the

appropriate

tap

and

enter

the

horizontal

axis

using

the

larger

or

larg

-

est

restraint

multiple

.

Then

enter

the

vertical

axis

,

us

the

of

the

CHARACTERISTICS

Taps

are

incorporated

in

the

HU

family

of

relays

to

compensate

for

main

current

transformer

mismatch

.

These

taps

are

as

follows

:

2.9

,

3.2

,

3.5

,

3.8

,

4.2

,

4.6

,

5.0

,

8.7

.

To

measure

the

effective

unbalance

,

a

sensitive

low

-

reading

voltmeter

(

5000

ohms

per

volts

)

can

tempo

-

rarily

be

connected

across

the

operating

coil

resistor

(

at

top

of

case

)

.

With

a

perfect

balance

,

the

voltmeter

reading

will

be

zero

.

The

reading

should

not

exceed

the

values

indicated

by

the

15

%

mismatch

curve

at

Figure

16

when

the

relay

pickup

is

0.30

times

tap

.

If

the

amount

of

mismatch

is

measured

or

calculated

,

the

measured

voltage

can

be

checked

against

the

in

-

terpolated

value

from

the

curve

.

For

example

,

as

-

sume

that

the

larger

restraint

current

is

measured

as

1.5

tap

multiple

and

the

calculated

mismatch

is

7

%

.

Then

,

from

Figure

the

measured

voltage

should

SETTING

CAUTION

Since

the

be

sure

that

the

screws

are

turned

tight

.

In

order

to

avoid

opening

current

transformer

circuits

when

changing

taps

under

load

,

the

re

-

lay

must

be

first

removed

from

the

case

.

Chassis

operating

shorting

switches

on

the

case

will

short

.

The

taps

should

then

be

changed

with

the

relay

outside

of

the

case

and

then

reinserted

into

the

case

.

To

set

the

relay

,

calculations

must

be

performed

as

shown

under

“

”

.

After

the

correct

tap

is

determined

,

connections

can

be

made

to

the

relay

by

placing

the

connector

screws

in

the
