0.2 amperes 60 hertz and reading the voltage drop
across the reactor with a high impedance true rms
reading voltmeter. The voltage drop will be between
20 and 26 V (true rms). For 0.4 amperes input, the
reading should be between 24 and 31 volts (true
rms).
1. Minimum Trip Current with I
amperes, apply 0.14 ± 5% amperes operating
current to each operating circuit of the relay. The
relay should operate and the indicator lamp
should light.
2. Differential Characteristic
a) Apply I
of 5 amperes and adjust the operat-
R
ing current until the relay operates. The relay
should operate and the indicator lamp should
light with an operating current of 0.25
± 0.012 amperes. Repeat for each phase of
the relay.
b) Apply I
of 60 amperes and adjust the oper-
R
ating current until the relay operates. The
relay should operate and the indicator lamp
should light with an operating current of 30
± 3 amperes. Repeat for each phase of the
relay.

MAINTENANCE

All relays should be checked once a year to detect
the electronic component failures which occur on a
random basis. The tantalum capacitors C1, C2, C3,
C4 and C13 may have a common mode failure char-
acteristic and should be checked visually for symp-
toms of electrolyte leakage every year and replaced
if necessary.
9.0 CALIBRATION
Use the following procedure for calibrating the relay if
the relay adjustments have been disturbed. This pro-
cedure should not be used until it is apparent the
relay is NOT in proper working order.

3. Electrical Checkpoints – See Table 1 (page

10.0 ELECTRICAL CHECKPOINTS

Connect relay per test circuit of Figure 12 (page 15).
All voltage readings should be made with a high
resistance voltmeter. Refer to Figure 4 (page 9) for
the location of checkpoints. Voltage readings are
approximate. The voltage readings "Input to Ampli-
fier" should NOT be taken with relay in service.

11.0 RENEWAL PARTS

Repair work can be done most satisfactorily at the
factory. However, interchangeable parts can be fur-
nished to customers who are equipped for doing
repair work. When ordering parts, always give the
nameplate data.

test circuit of Figure 12 (page 15). With switch K
open, adjust the operating resistor in the rear of
the relay until the relay operates with I
0.14 amperes. Do not make adjustments to the
resistor unless the dc is disconnected.
The indicator lamp should light when the relay
operates.
Repeat for each phase of the relay.

Do not adjust resistor with dc applied to relay.
The indicator lamp should light when the relay
operates.
Repeat for each phase of the relay.
Percentage Slope Characteristic (High Cur-
rent) – Set I
equal to 60 amperes for the operat-
R
ing current of 30 amperes. Replace the resistor
R17 if necessary. The value of R17 can be
between 0 and 100 ohms. Repeat for the other
two phases, if necessary, replacing R18 and R19
respectively.
