Section 1. INSTALLATION General Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful treatment prior to installation. By observing a few simple rules the possibility of premature failure is eliminated and a high degree of performance can be expected. The relays are either despatched individually or as part of a panel/rack mounted assembly in cartons specifically designed to protect them from damage.
Publication R6001 is a leaflet on the modular integrated drawout system. Publication R6014 is a list recommended suppliers for the pre-insulated connectors. Section 2. COMMISSIONING General Before leaving the factory all relays are accurately adjusted, tested and carefully packed. Hence there should be no need for any re-adjustment on commissioning. Moving parts are held in position during transit by rubber bands and packing.
Insulation The relay and its associated wiring, may be insulation tested between: a) all electrically isolated circuits b) all circuits and earth An electronic or brushless insulation tester should be used, having a dc voltage not exceeding 1000V. Accessible terminals of the same circuit should first be strapped together.
2.10 Output Contacts Check that the output contacts close or open as appropriate. Replace the cover and ensure that the cover reset mechanism will reset the mechanical flag. Connect the relay to the system as shown in the application diagram. Replacing any links, wiring, fuses and remove any ct short circuits used during commissioning.
Contact setting Normal duty make and break contacts. With the armature closed onto a 0.012" feeler gauge the make contact should be closed, but should be open using a 0.015" feeler gauge. Force to just close the make contacts 18/23 grams. Make contact gap 0.070"/0.080".
Operating at the incorrect values Check plug settings, and xI settings. Check knob on xI , the dot on the potentiometer skirt should be in line with the setting mark when the potentiometer os rotated fully anticlockwise. Check mechanical settings-see Section 4. Check values and adjustment of potentiometer, this can be damaged if overloads are left on too long.
