CAN

13

A

INTRODUCTION

With

a

few

eptions

,

the

Type

CAL

16

A

and

CAN

13

A

relays

are

Identical

In

construction

and

function

to

the

standard

secondary

network

relays

shown

in

the

Included

instruction

book

GEl

-

13580

.

The

CAN

13

A

will

prevent

reclosure

if

the

source

phase

sequence

is

reversed

and

the

network

phase

sequence

is

normal

.

The

principal

difference

af

-

fecting

both

relays

is

that

the

glass

cover

and

mounting

bracket

have

been

removed

,

and

the

relays

have

been

mounted

in

the

drawout

case

for

mounting

on

a

panel

.

Also

,

both

relays

have

2

ampere

holding

coils

in

the

reclose

circuits

,

Instead

of

the

0.3

ampere

coils

as

In

the

standard

relay

.

The

Type

CAN

13

A

relay

differs

from

the

Type

CAN

11

A

relay

In

several

points

concerning

physical

construction

and

electrical

connections

.

The

only

change

in

function

is

that

it

is

designed

to

trip

at

approximately

0.005

ampere

,

current

transformer

secondary

current

,

in

phase

with

line

-

to

-

neutral

voltage

.

It

is

intended

to

be

used

for

tripping

when

the

only

reverse

power

flowing

is

the

magnetizing

current

of

the

associated

power

transformer

.

The

principal

differences

between

the

Type

CAN

13

A

relay

and

the

Type

CAN

11

A

relay

areas

follows

:

1

.

The

reclose

contact

is

on

the

left

and

the

trip

contact

on

the

right

,

facing

the

relay

,

on

the

Type

CAN

13

A

relay

.

This

is

the

reverse

of

the

Type

CAN

11

A

relay

.

2

.

The

main

control

spring

is

used

to

adjust

trip

value

and

the

mechanical

restraint

Is

used

to

adjust

reclose

value

on

the

Type

CAN

13

A

relay

.

3

.

The

electrical

restraint

element

has

been

omitted

on

the

Type

CAN

11

A

relay

.

4

.

The

potential

coils

,

instead

of

being

connected

directly

to

the

network

side

of

the

breaker

are

,

connected

to

a

resistor

combination

across

each

pole

of

the

associated

breaker

.

This

last

feature

allows

the

potential

coils

to

be

energized

from

the

network

side

when

the

source

side

is

de

-

energized

;

or

from

the

source

side

when

the

network

side

is

de

-

energized

.

When

the

breaker

is

closed

,

the

two

sections

of

the

resistor

com

-

bination

on

each

phase

are

effectively

in

parallel

and

the

net

resistance

is

the

same

as

that

ordinarily

used

with

the

Type

CAN

11

A

relay

(

t

.

e

.

,

340

ohms

when

6054972

G

8

is

used

as

the

phase

-

shifting

trans

-

former

,

and

when

the

900

ohm

resistor

is

used

in

the

phase

circuit

for

1.5

volt

reclosure

.

)

Therefore

the

tripping

characteristic

is

the

same

except

that

the

setting

is

0.1

%

instead

of

0.2

%

of

the

relay

rating

.

RECEIVING

,

HANDLING

AND

STORAGE

CO

The

relays

,

when

not

included

as

a

part

of

a

control

panel

,

will

be

shipped

in

cartons

designed

to

protect

them

against

damage

.

Immediately

upon

receipt

of

a

relay

examine

it

for

any

damages

sus

-

tained

in

transit

.

If

injury

or

damage

from

rough

handling

is

evident

,

file

a

damage

claim

at

once

with

the

transportation

company

and

promptly

notify

the

nearest

General

Electric

Apparatus

Sales

Office

.

Reasonable

care

should

be

exercised

in

unpack

-

ing

the

relay

in

order

that

none

of

the

parts

are

injured

or

the

adjustments

distrubed

.

If

the

relays

are

not

to

be

installed

immediately

,

they

should

be

stored

in

their

original

cartons

in

a

place

that

is

free

from

moisture

,

dust

and

metallic

chips

.

Foreign

matter

collected

on

the

outside

of

the

may

find

its

way

inside

when

the

cover

is

removed

and

A

RELAY

The

Type

CAL

16

A

relay

Is

Identical

to

the

Type

CAL

15

A

relay

,

described

in

the

Included

Instruc

-

tion

book

GEl

-

13580

,

except

that

it

is

mounted

in

a

drawout

case

.

For

calibration

,

the

relay

should

be

connected

as

shown

In

Fig

.

.

The

normal

cali

-

bration

of

the

Type

CAL

16

A

relay

Is

to

close

its

contacts

when

the

phasing

voltage

(

on

studs

7

-

8

)

is

gradually

Increased

to

0.5

volt

,

leading

the

potential

voltage

(

studs

5

-

6

)

by

90

degrees

.

Adjustments

can

be

made

as

described

in

GEI

-

13580

.

The

reclose

calibration

of

the

relay

can

be

changed

by

adjusting

the

mechanical

restraint

ele

-

ment

.

Turning

the

cap

of

the

restraint

clockwise

increases

the

restraint

and

therefore

the

reclose

calibration

.

Holding

Coils

Both

holding

-

coils

of

the

Type

CAN

13

A

relay

are

rated

2

amperes

.

These

holding

coils

can

be

checked

as

part

of

the

trip

and

reclose

adjustments

above

by

connecting

an

adjustable

resistor

in

the

contact

circuit

and

adjusting

the

holding

coil

circuit

to

2

amperes

.

As

soon

as

the

trip

or

reclose

con

-

tacts

make

,

the

sealing

armature

should

definitely

seal

them

closed

,

and

there

should

be

no

sparking
