APPL ICATION
KS
The
Relay (Figure 1 ) is a polyphase compen
sator distance type relay used with the type KD
distance relay to prevent tripping while out-of-step
or out- of-synchronism conditions exist on the sys
tem. It does not prevent or delay the type KD relay
from tripping on phase-to-phase faults within its
protective zone that occur during the out-of-step
condition.

type FT32 relay case.
Com pen sa tor
The compensators which are designated as TA,
:B
-T B , and T c . are two-winding air-gap transform
T
ers, (Figure 2). The primary, or current winding, has
seven taps which terminate at the tap block. T A and
T c are marked 0.6 , 1 .02, 1 . 6 5 , 2 . 46 , 3 . 68 , 5 . 5 and
:B
8 .2 . T
-T B can be set from 3 . 6 ohms to 6 . 1 2 ohms
in steps of 0. 1 8 ohms. Current flowing through the
primary coil provides an MM F which produces mag
netic lines of flux in the core.
A voltage is induced in the secondary which is
proportional to the primary tap and current magnitude.
This proportionality is established by the cross sec
tional area of the laminated steel core, the length of
an air gap which is located in the center of the coil,
and the tightness of the laminations. A ll of these
factors which influence the secondary voltage pro
portionality have been precisely set at the factory.

OPERATION
The clamps which hold the laminations should not
be disturbed by either tightening or loosening the
clamp screws.
The secondary winding has a single tap which
divides the winding into two sections. One section
is connected subtractively in series with the relay
terminal voltage. Thus a voltage which is propor
tional to the line current is subtracted vectorially
from the relay terminal voltage. The second section
is connected to an adjustable loading resistor and
provides a means of adjusting the phase angle rela
tion between primary current and the induced second
ary voltage. The phase angle may be set for any
o
value between 60
and 8 0
tor between its minimum and maximum values re
o
spectively or for 89
by open circuiting the resis
tor. The factory setting is for a maximum torque
o
angle of 75
current lagging voltage.
A uto-Transformer
The auto-transformer has three taps on its main
S,
winding,
which are numbered 1, 2, and 3 on the
tap block. A tertiary winding M has four taps which
