MTBF („Mean Time Between Failures“) is approx. 200 years (calculated based on data up to year 2012), and there are WIP1 relays being in service at our customers’ sites for more than 22 years even under harsh climate conditions.

Figure 4.1: Connection example with relay tripping It is mandatory that the WIP1 is grounded (earthed) via the terminal marked by “ ”. All grounding connections must be low-inductance, i. e. as short as possible, and national standards – if applicable – must be followed.
Page 10
Please note: In this circuit we recommend earthing the current transformers via the relay connection. *1: If the current transformers have to be earthed directly, the earthing connection on WIP1 must be removed. Otherwise the measuring transformer for earth fault measuring is short-circuited. DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J...

Released Manual WIP1 Woodward 4.1.1 Connecting the Serial Interface The relays are connected to a PC/laptop via an RS232/RS485-interface converter by using the two-wire method. Each relay is connected to terminals P and N. The last relay in terms of “hardware” must then be equipped with terminating resistors.
Woodward 4.1.2 Current Transformer Inputs (1S1 ‑ 1S2), The protection unit WIP1 receives the analog input signals of the phase currents I (2S1 ‑ 2S2) and I (3S1 ‑ 3S2) for phase current, earth current and negative sequence measuring. The measured current values are analogously filtered and fed to the analog/digital converter.
In case the coil burden is higher than the contact breaking capacity, the following circuit arrangement can be used: Figure 4.6: Example By connecting a trip contact of the WIP1 and an aux. contact of the C.B. in series it is prevented that the WIP1 contact is arcing so that safe switching off is guaranteed. ...
Woodward 4.1.5 Trip Indication The WIP1 is provided with an LED for the optical trip indication. Tripping can additionally be indicated via an external indicator. Flashing of the LED can be suppressed by parameter setting. Fault values can be shown on the display, and moreover, the fault values are stored within the relay together with a timestamp.
(16 samples per period). Digital Circuits The essential part of the WIP1 is a powerful microcontroller. All of the operations - from the analogue/digital conversion to the relay trip decision - are carried out by the microcontroller digitally. The relay program is saved in an EPROM (Electrically-Programmable-Read-Only-Memory).
WIP1). 5.4.3 Dual Power Option for WIP1-2 and WIP1-3 The relay versions WIP1-2 and WIP1-3 offer a dual power option, i. e. the option to connect an additional external power supply. The dual power source makes the relay operational independently of the supply via the CTs. Moreover, there is an extended setting range for the phase overcurrent protection, the lowest possible pickup threshold is 0.2 A.
Switching the relay on. If no key is pressed longer than 1 min. the relay switches off. The push buttons <SELECT/RESET>, <+>, <-> and <DISPLAY ON> can be activated without removing the transparent cover by simply using a pin or screw driver. Figure 5.1: Front plate of WIP1 DOK-TD-WIP1E Rev. J...
C.T.s. The tripping principle of the WIP1 is that the transformer current is driven through the tripping coil in case tripping takes place. Care must be taken that the current transformer can transmit enough energy at the set overcurrent pickup value to activate the tripping coil, but does not generate too much energy at high short circuit currents which would damage the overcurrent relay.
Released Manual WIP1 Woodward The two diagrams above show the two different tripping methods. In Figure 5.2 the tripping coil is supplied directly by the current transformer. In Figure 5.3 tripping is effected via an internal supply transformer. The result is that with tripping current > 12 x In the coil resistance must not be smaller than 17 Ohm.
Page 22
Lmax Leit The impedance of WIP1 for the respective pickup value can be found in Figure 5.6 or Figure 5.7. The resistance of the tripping coil can be determined by measuring, or calculated from the rated data of the coil.
Figure 5.7: WIP1 impedance curve for the range: 1 A to 30 A 5.7.3 Overloading of the WIP1 The maximum power consumption of the WIP1 must not exceed 1000 VA for the maximum tripping time. The maximum power that a transformer can supply is calculated as follows: ...
= 0.45 A is used. As the rated current of the coil is a direct current, the setting value for the WIP1 for tripping with a single- phase fault must be calculated as per eq. 1. This results in a setting value of 0.5 A.
Page 25
Figure 5.8: WIP1 - power consumption The diagram above shows the limit value of the load to which the WIP1 may be subjected in case of a short circuit. In the event that the transformer power nevertheless exceeds the limit value, it is possible to connect resistors in series into the secondary circuit.

WIP1-1: The LED extinguishes and the bistable relay 1 is reset if sufficient current is available to put the WIP1-1 into function, i. e. already below the 0.5 A limit for the CT-powered mode. (For operating modes, see 5.4.1.
Resetting of a displayed message, of the LED and also of the output relay can be realized via RS485 interface. The effect of the Software Reset and the Manual Reset is the same.

After this push button has been pressed, the alarm relay and self-test relay are de-energized and the LED should extinguish. >>Test_current<< >>>switch-off<<< The WIP1 indicates disconnection of the test current by the following message: >>>>>RELAY-<<<<< >>>>>>TEST<<<<<< Should the test current be so low that the coil fails to trip, the test will be stopped.
7.2.6 Checking the High Set Element of the Relay The high set element of the WIP1 is checked in the same manner. It is important, however, that the selected test current is not too high because of trip delay at inverse time characteristics may become shorter than the high set setting.
Because of its powerful combined indicating and measuring functions, the WIP1 relay may be tested in the manner of a primary injection test without extra expenditure and time consumption.
