HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

A persons normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several


thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling
circuits can cause serious damage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the
reliability of the circuit will have been reduced.
The electronic circuits of Alstom Grid products are immune to the relevant levels of
electrostatic discharge when housed in their cases. Do not expose them to the risk of
damage by withdrawing modules unnecessarily.
Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor devices.
However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the following precautions should be
taken to preserve the high reliability and long life for which the equipment has been designed
and manufactured.
1. Before removing a module, ensure that you are a same electrostatic potential as the
equipment by touching the case.
2. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board.
Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit track or connectors.
3. Do not pass the module to any person without first ensuring that you are both at the
same electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
4. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which is at the
same potential as yourself.
5. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag.
More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found in
BS5783 and IEC 60147-0F.
If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of an equipment in
service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist strap.
Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500k 10M ohms. If a wrist strap
is not available you should maintain regular contact with the case to prevent the build up of
static. Instrumentation which may be used for making measurements should be earthed to
the case whenever possible.
Alstom Grid strongly recommends that detailed investigations on the electronic circuitry, or
modification work, should be carried out in a Special Handling Area such as described in
BS5783 or IEC 60147-0F.

2. INSTALLING, COMMISSIONING AND SERVICING


Equipment connections
Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work on this equipment should
be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety. The product documentation
should be consulted before installing, commissioning or servicing the equipment.
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may present a
hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by all personnel
to avoid electrical shock or energy hazards.
R8141D Technical Manual

Page 6/34 Types MVAJ 05, 10, 20

Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminations to ensure
that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety. To ensure that wires are
correctly terminated, the correct crimp terminal and tool for the wire size should be used.
Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earth terminal, or the
appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment. Omitting or
disconnecting the equipment earth may cause a safety hazard.
The recommended minimum earth wire size is 2.5mm2, unless otherwise stated in the technical
data section of the product documentation.
Before energising the equipment, the following should be checked:

Voltage rating and polarity;

CT circuit rating and integrity of connections;

Protective fuse rating;

Integrity of earth connection (where applicable)

Remove front plate plastic film protection

Remove insulating strip from battery compartment

3. EQUIPMENT OPERATING CONDITIONS


The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits.
3.1 Current transformer circuits
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high level voltage produced may be
lethal to personnel and could damage insulation.
3.2 External resistors
Where external resistors are fitted to relays, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns,
if touched.
3.3 Battery replacement
Where internal batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recommended type and be
installed with the correct polarity, to avoid possible damage to the equipment.
3.4 Insulation and dielectric strength testing
Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the end of each
part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to discharge capacitors, before
the test leads are disconnected.
3.5 Insertion of modules and pcb cards
These must not be inserted into or withdrawn from equipment whist it is energised since this
may result in damage.
3.6 Fibre optic communication
Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly. Optical
power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.
Technical Manual R8141D

Types MVAJ 05, 10, 20 Page 7/34

4. OLDER PRODUCTS
Electrical adjustments
Equipments which require direct physical adjustments to their operating mechanism to change
current or voltage settings, should have the electrical power removed before making the
change, to avoid any risk of electrical shock.
Mechanical adjustments
The electrical power to the relay contacts should be removed before checking any mechanical
settings, to avoid any risk of electric shock.
Draw out case relays
Removal of the cover on equipment incorporating electromechanical operating elements, may
expose hazardous live parts such as relay contacts.
Insertion and withdrawal of extender cards
When using an extender card, this should not be inserted or withdrawn from the equipment
whilst it is energised. This is to avoid possible shock or damage hazards. Hazardous live
voltages may be accessible on the extender card.
Insertion and withdrawal of heavy current test plugs
When using a heavy current test plug, CT shorting links must be in place before insertion or
removal, to avoid potentially lethal voltages.

5. DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL


Decommissioning: The auxiliary supply circuit in the relay may include capacitors across the
supply or to earth. To avoid electric shock or energy hazards, after
completely isolating the supplies to the relay (both poles of any dc
supply), the capacitors should be safely discharged via the external
terminals prior to decommissioning.

Disposal: It is recommended that incineration and disposal to water courses is


avoided. The product should be disposed of in a safe manner. Any
products containing batteries should have them removed before
disposal, taking precautions to avoid short circuits. Particular regulations
within the country of operation, may apply to the disposal of lithium
batteries.

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 General
Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful treatment prior to
installation and a wise selection of site. By observing a few simple rules the possibility of
premature failure is eliminated and a high degree of performance can be expected.
The safety section should be read before any work takes place and should be referred to
throughout. Special care should be taken to adhere to suitable electro-static discharge
precautions.
1.2 Receipt
The relays are either despatched individually or as part of a panel/rack mounted assembly in
cartons specifically designed to protect them from damage.
Relays should be examined immediately they are received to ensure that no damage has been
sustained in transit. If damage due to rough handling is evident ,a claim should be made to the
transport company concerned immediately and Alstom Grid should be promptly notified.
Relays which are supplied un mounted and not intended for immediate installation should be
returned to their protective polythene bags.
1.3 Unpacking
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the relays so that none of the parts are
damaged or their settings altered and must only be handled by skilled persons.
Relays should be examined for any wedges, clamps, or rubber bands necessary to secure
moving parts to prevent damage during transit and these should be removed after installation
and before commissioning.
Relays which have been removed from their cases should not be left in situations where they
are exposed to dust or damp. This particularly applies to installations which are being carried
out at the same time as construction work.
1.4 Storage
If relays are not installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in a place free from
dust and moisture in their original cartons and where de-humidifier bags have been included in
the packing they should be retained. The action of the de-humidifier crystals will be impaired if
the bag has been exposed to ambient conditions and may be restored by gently heating the bag
for about an hour, prior to replacing it in the carton.
Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into the relay; in
damp conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated with moisture and the de-
humidifying agent will lose its efficiency.
The storage temperature range is 40C to +70C.
1.5 Installation
The installation should be clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and excessive vibration. The
site should preferably be well illuminated to facilitate inspection.
An outline diagram is normally supplied showing panel cut-outs and hole centres. For
individually mounted relays these dimensions will also be found in publication R6141.
Publication R7012, Parts Catalogue and Assembly Instructions, will be useful when individual
relays are to be assembled as a composite rack or panel mounted assembly.
Publication R6001 is a leaflet on the modular integrated draw out system of protective relays.
Publication R6014 is a list of recommended suppliers for the pre-insulated connectors.

2. COMMISSIONING
2.1 Commissioning preliminaries
2.1.1 Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
The relay uses components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Whenhandling the
withdrawn module, care should be taken to avoid contact withcomponents and electrical
connections. When removed from its case for storagethe module should be placed in an
electrically conducting anti-static bag.
2.1.2 Inspection
Carefully examine the module and case to see that no damage has occurredduring transit.
Check that the relay serial number on the module, case and cover are identical,and also check
that the rating information is correct for the system.
2.1.3 Wiring
WARNING:
EXPOSED TERMINALS MAY PRESENT A HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
UNLESSEQUIPMENT IS ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED.

Check that the external wiring is correct to the relevant relay diagram and/or scheme diagram. It
is especially important that DC supplies are wired with thecorrect polarity. The relay external
connection diagram number is given on therating label inside the case.
2.1.4 External links
There are two external links as detailed in tables 1 and 2.
All trip relays are supplied as high burden. With the exception of MVAJ102, 202,they may be
converted to low burden by removing the link between case terminals 22 and 24.

NOTE: At the point at which the relay cut-off occurs the current drawn by the
relayis either reduced to an economised level or is removed entirely (ie.
zerowatt cut-off state).
Table 1: Configuration of high/low burden link (terminals 22 to 24)
A second link is supplied fitted to selected 10 and 20 contact relays as detailed in Table 2. This
link, connected between case terminals 21 and 23 enables a reset inhibitor feature to be
introduced into the circuit of 10 and 20 contact electrical reset relays, ensuring that the reset
circuit is disabled when the operate circuit is energised. On relay types 104, 105, 204 and 205
this link may be removed if this feature is not required.
NOTE: This link must remain fitted to MVAJ101 and 201 relays to enable the
economising circuit.

2.2 Preliminary checks
Before leaving the factory all relays are accurately adjusted, tested and carefullypacked. There
should be no need for any re-adjustment on commissioning.
Moving parts are held in position during transit by rubber bands and packing.These should be
removed carefully.
2.2.1 To gain access to the relay first loosen the captive cover screws, then carefullyremove the cover
from the case.
The module can then be removed from the case by grasping the handles at the topand bottom
of the front plate and pulling forwards.
Care must be taken to ensure that mechanical settings of the element are not disturbed.
2.2.2 Carefully remove the rubber band securing the flag mechanism.
2.2.3 Check that the bottom end of the contact operating card has not been dislodgedfrom the slot in
the armature extension.
2.2.4 Check that all push-on connections to the PCB are secure.
Check that all the push-on connections to the back of the contacts are secure.
Check that all the push-on connections to terminal block are secure.
2.2.5 Carefully actuate the armature of each unit in turn with a small screwdriver/probe.
On units fitted with hand reset flag indicators, check that the flag is free to fallbefore, or just as,
any make contacts close.
2.2.6 Check that the serial number in the cover and the relay case match that of themodule. Replace
the module in the case and refit the cover. Make sure that thereset mechanism in the cover is
correctly located with respect to the relay elementand that the flag (or mechanism) can be reset.
Check that the armature(s) are in the reset position by pressing the appropriatereset buttons;
2.3 Insulation tests
The relay and its associated wiring may be insulation tested between:

all electrically isolated circuits

all circuits and earth


An electronic or brushless insulation tester should be used giving a dc voltage notexceeding
1000V. Accessible terminals of the same circuit should first be strappedtogether. Deliberate
circuit earthing links removed for the tests must subsequentlybe replaced.

2.4 Operate/reset operation


WARNING:
EXPOSED TERMINALS MAY PRESENT A HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
UNLESSEQUIPMENT IS ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED.

2.4.1 Self, hand, electrical and hand/electrical reset


1. The operate circuit is terminated to case terminals 27(+), 28(-).
2. The electrical reset circuit is terminated to case terminals 25(+), 26(-).
3. Disconnect external wiring from these terminals to allow application of the test supply.
4. Check operation of operate circuit by energising the relay with 60% of the lower nominal
supply voltage. Please note that the supply voltage applied across the relay case terminals
should be directly at 60% of the lower nominal supply voltage ( for example LNV= 110 V ,
so you have to inject 66 V ) and this voltage should not be applied gradually to reach 60%
of the lower nominal supply voltage. The relays should switch cleanly with one movement.
5. With the relay set check the continuity of the closed contacts, Contact continuity test should
be done by applying 5A current & measuring the voltage across the output contact
terminals after that you can check the impedance of the relay.
6. Check the operating time of the relay at 100% lower nominal supply voltage and check the
continuity of the closed contacts.
2.4.2 Self-reset 2.5s delayed reset
1. The operate circuit is terminated to case terminals 25(+), 27(+), 28(-).
2. Disconnect external wiring from these terminals to allow application of the test supply.
3. Check operation of operate circuit by energising the relay with 60% of the lower nominal
supply voltage. Please note that the supply voltage applied across the relay case terminals
should be directly at 60% of the lower nominal supply voltage ( for example LNV= 110 V ,
so you have to inject 66 V ) and this voltage should not be applied gradually to reach 60%
of the lower nominal supply voltage. The relays should switch cleanly with one movement.
4. With the relay set check the continuity of the closed contacts, Contact continuity test should
be done by applying 5A current & measuring the voltage across the output contact
terminals.
5. Check the operating time of the relay at 100% lower nominal supply voltage and check the
continuity of the closed contacts.
6. Check the delayed reset time by energising the relay with full rated supply volts to case
terminations 25(+), 27(+), 28(-), then remove energisation from the case termination 27(+).
Time the closure of a normally closed contact from this point in time. The reset time shall
be between 2 - 2.8s.
2.5 Restoration of wiring
Restore any external wiring connections that may have been disturbed during the above tests.
2.6 Problem analysis
Repeat Section 2.2 with particular attention to the connection of external links.
If the relay is found to be faulty it should be returned to Alstom Grid for repair and recalibration.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Types MVAJ 05, 10, 20 Page 13/34

3. MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is not necessary, however routine testing should be carriedout the meet
the customer requirements.
Check the relay for operation at 60% lower nominal supply voltage and forcontact wear. If
required, the mechanical settings may be checked against thoseshown in Section 4.

4. MECHANICAL SETTINGS
4.1 General
Contacts are set at the factory and should not require adjustment.
If contacts show signs of contamination during maintenance it may be necessary toclean
contacts and check settings.
CONTACTS MUST BE CHECKED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY TO
ENSURE THAT SETTINGS ARE NOT DISTURBED.
The safety section should be read before attempting any adjustments.
4.2 Cleaning contacts
Contacts should be cleaned with the burnishing tool, supplied in relay tool kits. On no account
should cleaning fluids, knives, files or abrasive materials be used.
4.3 Contact settings
Armature gap measurements should be made with the top of the feeler gauge levelwith the
centre line of the core.
Contact pressures are measured with a gramme gauge at the contact tips.
In general contact gaps and follow through are defined by quoting an armaturegap at which the
tips should be just closed or just open. Follow through should bemeasured at the centre of the
armature. Some mechanically operated contact gapsmust be measured directly with feeler
gauges at the contact tips.
The relay contact state is always defined with the relay in the reset position unlessotherwise
specified on the appropriate circuit diagram.
