DESCRIPTION

The

is

an

induction

disk

ground

differential

It

was

designed

specifically

to

provide

differential

protection

for

single

-

to

-

ground

faults

in

the

wye

connected

winding

of

a

power

transformer

and

the

leads

to

its

associated

circuit

breaker

.

The

IFD

relay

is

shock

and

is

supplied

complete

with

in

a

standard

APPLICATION

The

IFD

51

D

was

specifically

designed

to

provide

differential

protection

for

single

-

phase

-

to

-

ground

faults

in

the

zone

from

the

wye

connected

winding

and

its

associated

circuit

breaker

.

This

zone

includes

the

transformer

wye

winding

itself

.

The

IFD

is

principally

intended

for

application

on

transformers

where

the

neutral

is

grounded

through

a

resistor

which

limits

the

single

phase

-

to

-

ground

fault

currents

to

a

range

of

200

-

2000

amperes

.

However

,

it

may

also

be

applied

to

solidly

grounded

transformers

if

the

neutral

CT

is

of

good

quality

and

has

the

same

ratio

as

the

circuit

breaker

CT

'

s

so

that

no

auxiliary

CT

is

required

.

The

power

transformer

winding

with

which

the

relay

is

associated

must

have

its

own

neutral

lead

as

illustrated

in

the

external

connection

of

Figure

5

.

That

is

to

say

,

that

the

power

transformer

cannot

be

an

auto

-

transformer

nor

can

it

be

a

wye

-

delta

-

wye

bank

with

a

common

neutral

terminal

for

both

windings

.

An

auxiliary

CT

is

normally

required

to

match

the

ratio

between

the

circuit

breaker

CT

'

s

and

the

transformer

neutral

CT

.

The

ratio

of

this

auxiliary

CT

can

be

evaluated

by

dividing

the

ratio

of

the

circuit

breaker

CT

‘

s

(

on

the

tap

used

)

by

the

ratio

of

the

neutral

CT

.

The

purpose

of

the

instantaneous

unit

in

the

IFD

51

D

is

to

make

the

relay

shock

resistant

The

pick

-

up

setting

of

the

instantaneous

unit

should

be

set

so

that

it

does

not

reduce

the

sensitivity

of

the

protection

.

Since

the

basic

sensitivity

of

the

main

unit

of

the

relay

is

0.5

or

1.0

amperes

,

it

is

suggested

that

the

setting

of

the

instantaneous

unit

be

in

the

range

of

0.5

to

1.0

amperes

.

As

indicated

in

the

section

under

CHARACTERISTICS

,

the

IFD

51

D

may

be

set

for

12.5

or

25

percent

slope

.

With

the

12.5

percent

slope

setting

,

the

main

unit

will

pick

up

at

about

0.5

amperes

in

the

operating

coil

with

no

current

in

any

restraint

coil

.

With

the

25

percent

slope

,

the

current

required

to

produce

operation

increases

to

about

1

ampere

.

The

higher

slope

setting

will

provide

security

against

improper

operation

in

the

event

of

circuit

breaxer

CT

saturation

during

external

multi

-

phase

faults

.

As

indicated

in

the

external

connections

of

Figure

5

,

only

one

IFD

51

D

relay

is

required

for

the

protection

described

.

Also

,

a

source

of

d

-

c

is

required

in

order

for

the

relay

to

trip

the

breaker

.

This

may

either

be

a

station

battery

or

a

capacitor

device

.

OPERATING

PRINCIPLES

The

relay

induction

unit

has

four

U

-

magnets

operating

on

two

disks

mounted

on

a

common

shaft

.

Three

of

the

U

-

Magnets

have

restraining

coils

which

drive

the

disk

in

the

contact

opening

direction

.

The

fourth

U

-

Magnet

has

an

operating

coil

which

drives

the

disk

in

the

contact

closing

direction

.

The

induction

unit

will

close

its

contacts

when

the

torque

produced

by

the

operating

coil

exceeds

the

sum

of

the

torques

produced

by

the

control

spring

and

the

three

restraining

coils

.

TORQUE

Each

produces

a

An

example

of

the

may

be

used

is

as

follows

.

With

the

unit

will

close

its

The

give

an

the

INDUCTION

DISK

UNIT

The

disk

unit

consists

of

two

a

driven

by

four

U

-

Magnet

and

coil

assemblies

is

the

operating

coil

,

this

element

drives

the

.

The

operating

coil

is

tapped

so

that

the

relay

may

be

set

for

either

a

12.5

The

may

be

selected

by

setting

the

in

the

block

position

indicated

by

the

engraved

.

The

tap

block

is

mounted

above

the

.

The

operating

U

Magnet

is

provided

with

fixed

shading

rings

which

provide

the

necessary

to

drive

the

The

three

U

Magnets

mount

the

coils

.

These

three

elements

drive

the

The

to

the

except

the

instead

of

to

produce

the

of

the

are

wired

to

three

separate

mounted

in

the

back

of

the

.

These

are

used

to

adjust

the

is

available

.

However

,

any

damage

sustained

in

claim

at

once

with

the

All

Since

can

be

analyzed

as

a

of

it

follows

that

.

Therefore

,

in

For

cleaning

relay

contacts

a

flexible

burnishing

tool

should

be

used

.

This

consists

of

an

etched

roughened

strip

of

flexible

metal

resembling

a

superfine

file

which

removes

corroded

material

quickly

without

scratching

the

surface

.

The

flexibility

of

the

tool

insures

the

cleaning

of

the

actual

points

of

contact

.

Never

use

knives

,

files

,

abrasive

paper

or

cloth

to

clean

relay

contacts

.

A

burnishing

tool

as

described

can

be
