Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 Important Information! If this sign appears besides a text passage, the reader is strongly advised to read the corresponding information, because it is very important for the device’s usage! It can indicate safety advices or information for the correct handling of the device.
Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 2 Application The most of the high- and medium voltage capacitors use oil as dielectric, which can catch fire in case of a failure. For this reason, it is recommended to monitor capacitor banks during operation, in order to detect failures earlier. Using the KSR1, there are two possible ways to set up a monitoring system.
Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 3 Operation 3.1 Power supply The KSR1 can be supplied by 40 – 250 V AC (45 – 65 Hz) or 40 – 300 V DC. Attention: The power supply must be connected as it is depicted on the rear side of the device. A wrong connection can cause malfunctions or can damage the device.
Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 3.3 Outputs The KSR1 has 4 relay outputs. Trip Alarm Rel3 Status See 3.3.1 See 3.3.2 See 3.3.3 See 3.3.4 3.3.1 Trip relay The trip relay operates with the change-over contacts 11-12/14. The contacts 11-12 are normally closed and 11-14 are normally open (no trip condition).

Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 3.4.3 Input of numerical values For configuration purpose, the input of values is required. By doing this, the routine is always the same, which is why the following section describes the necessary steps in general. A preset-value will be displayed with the first (highest) digit blinking.
Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 4 Menus 4.1 Info The main menu "INFO” contains all information’s about the adjusted thresholds, delay times for trip/alarm and the stored natural unbalance. In the Info menu, it is not possible to change any values.
Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 4.2 Setup The main menu “Setup” is split into two menu levels: Level 1 is the “start menu”, it contains settings to commission the KSR1. Level 2 is the “expert menu”, it contains the complete range of settings. This menu is protected by an additional password.

Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 The KSR1 uses absolute values. For this reason, shown values are always positive independent of their actual direction (meas. value increases / decreases). Digital input active the monitoring system can be blocked via the digital input. the monitoring system cannot be blocked via the digital input.
Reference Manual Rev. 10 Capacitor Bank Protect. Relay KSR1 2018-09 4.3 Alarm The submenu “Alarm” contains the last 5 trips and the last 5 alarms. The alarms and trips are stored together with the value, which has triggered the event. The alarm storage is a ring buffer, which means an upcoming trip/alarm deletes the oldest event if the buffer is full.
