GEC ALSTHOM —— INDIA COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCAL BREAKER BACK-UP RELAY TYPE CTIG COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCAL BREAKER BACK-UP RELAY TYPE CTIG 4. APPLICATION: To safeguard ogainst the crastie Consequences of fallure to cleat faults rapidly, mony powor supply cuthorties install two Indopencant systoms of protaction for Major transmission lines, The'e remains however the possibly of the circult breckar Iself falling to operate cnd this hazord Is traxillonally covered by remote breaker backup. Recent trends show a lean towards local breaker back-up and for this reason a new relay, the Englbh Electric’ CTIG hos been developed with characierlslics Particulatly suited to this application. ‘A simple arrangement of local breaker back-up, Is shown In Fig. To clear a fault ot F, the pilmary protection tips breaker A. If this brecker falls the fault effectively becomes « busbar faull and cll Infeed breakers B.C.0 & E cre tripped, simutancously by the breaker backup fo [solale the busbar. This is effected by using on Instontoneous overcurrent relay and a timer os shown in Fig.2 with local backup, ‘the fault Is cleared ropidty, Foult clearance time (bock:up) = Protective relay operating time + Breakers B - E tip fime. Complete lsolation of a busbar is a somewhat draslle measure. Its therefore mest Imporiont thet the backup does not opercte unnecessailly and the time delay must be set occorinayy. Time delay = Breaker A trip time + OIC relay reset time + Safely Margin. To give optimum performance the desirable charactatisics of the overcurrent relay oe: | 4. Consistent fast reset | 2. Conslstent high accuocy | 3. Low burden (uses main protection curent transformers). | The CIIG Is a three phase or two phase and earthtault Instantaneous overcurent relay which embodies these cheractoristics. 2. OPERATION: | The type CGS? relay Is a three phase of two phase and ecrthfoult instantonsous evercurent unit Intended for use with @ time delay unit 1o glve back-up protection In the event of a clrcuil broaker failure, A particular fealure of the CNG relay Is a {ast revel which enables the time deicy to be sat closer to the broaker tiip-time, The principle of operation of the relay Is thal of peak-curtant measurement os shown In Fig.3. Stolic clreulty is used fo give accurate and consistent performance, extremely low burciens and compact dimensions. i 3.

It wil also withstand 4.25 KV 50 Hz, for 4 second between open contacts. 4. The relay will withstand 5 kV Impulse vollage test In accordance with IEC. recommendation. 3.9 Case: The relay I cuppllod In a ske (drawoul) core avaliable for flush oF projection mounting and finished phenolic black as slancard, INSTALLATION: 4.1 Location: Tho location should be dry, clean, tree trem dust and. excessive vibrations ‘and reasonably well illuminated fo faclitats Inspection. 4.2 Mounting: The telay case should be mounted In a vertical panel surtace (within +89) 30 that the unt Is prectically heslzontaa, COMMISSIONING: The following tesls are recommended for the Initial commissioning of CTIG39 relays. 54 1) General Inspection li) Wiring checks ii) Current trenstomner checks My Insulation Teste ¥) Operational Tests vi) Tip and clorm circulls check General Inspection: Wipe away any dust tha! hes collected on the outside of the relay bofo1e ‘opening the cover. Make a general inspection of the relay fo ensure thal al moving pats are free to move and that there are ne signa of damage ‘anywhere, Check that there are no loose connections of termincls and thot the equipment Is clean and free from dus Genera! Inspection Is Rommelly camled out affer disconnecting the tipping suppy. 52 53 5.3.1. 5.3.2 Wiring Checks: Moke 0 thorough check for thé Intemal ond extemal witing of the relay, The Internal witing can be checked by teference fo the rely wking lagram which Is supplied for each relay. The extemal witing should bo checked with the help ef schematic dlagrams (showing reference number of Inferconnecting wires, tolay teminal Nes. etc) supplied by the rolay Pane! manufactures. .T. Checks: Polarity and ratio checks cn each current transformer are recommended, Polarity Check: Each current transformer should be individually tested to verity that the pokally markings on the pmary and secondary windings are correct. Fig.’ leales the test clrcult for this test. The emmeter ‘A’ Is a robust, ‘movi 1g coll, peimcnent megnel, Cente Ze10 type Instrument, A low vollage bollay Is ued Via a single pole push bullen fo onorglio the pilmary winding. On closing the push button, ine DC ammeter ‘A’ should Indicate a positive fick and’ on opening, a negative lick. I. Polarity check can also be camied cut by using primary Infection tes! set mentioned in 5.3.2 below. Since CTIG39 relay is used as a backup relay fo! the primary protective relays similar checks cariled out for the primary relays should ba odaquate for this relay as well. Ratio Check: THs check |= camied cut during primary injection tests, The test apparatus normally comprses a portable injection transiccmer arranged to operate from the local mains supply and having several low vollage heavy curent wingings which may be connected In series or parallel depending on the current requited ond tessiance of the primary clicull. The Injection transtormer is usually of chout 40 kve rating with a typical ratio of 250/10 +10 + 10 + 19 volts This permits cuents upto about 1609 ams. to be obtained with the four secondary windings in parallel and upto about 250 amperes with the windings In serles. The Inieciion transformer current can be controlled by a heey curent [about 40 omps) vorlable ‘qulo-transformer as shown In Fig. If the main curent transformers cre fitted with test windings, thesa ean be used In place of the primary windings for primary injecticn tests The current required for pilmary Injection js then greatly reduced and can be obicinad from less cumbersome equipment. However, these test windings {aie net always provided on the current transfoimers due to space limitallan foctor. For conrying out the ratio check on current transformers, the test ctreult shown In Fig6 Is used. Current Is pasted through the primary conductors ‘and measured on the test ammeter Al. The current transformer sacondary current Is meosured on ammeter A2 and the rallo AA2 should ‘approximate to the ratio marked on the current transformer nameplate. 5.4 INSULATION TEST: ksolate whing trom earth. Bind all relay terminals together and measure the Insulation resislones to earth with 1000 V meggor, Recomect all wiring according fo the schematic diagram. it Is especialy Impertant that the dec. supplies are wired with conect polarity. OPERATIONAL TESTS: To check the eccuracy of the relay curent settings, It's necessary to camry Out secondary injection tests on the relay using curent of sinuoldal waveform within practical limits. “English Electric” portoble test equipment, type CFB. which Is described in detail In the publication M/381I Is specially designed for carrying out these tests, 5.5.1 With ihe equipment connected as shown In Fig? with appropiate de. ousllary supply, check, by gradually increasing the curten, that the pick Up CUMent of the Ielcy Is within 40% of the setting values - for plug settings of 20%, 40%, 80% and 160% ond current multiplier pelentiomoter soltings ranging from 4 fo 2, 5.5.2 Sinilaily check that the diop off curient of the relay at these setfings to be approximately 95% of the pick-up values of curren!, 5.5.3 The operating fime of the relay can be ascerlcined at twice the selling Current value ond this shall be less than 20 milliseconds, 554 5.6 Check for sctisfactory operation of the relay over the range of 60% to 430% of nominel vollage of the auxillary supply. Care should be taken In ‘extending the corect polarity of the dc. supply to the relay terminals, TRIP AND ALARM CIRCUIT CHECKS: During electical tests, the trlp ond alarm circults are usually renderod, Inoperatve by removal of fsolating links, relay trip latches ete. It Is nus erseniic! that on completion of theye fest, the tripping, Inter-rieping and olorm clrcults are checked. Close the teley conlacts by hand offer restoring all the links and latches {o their original position and check that the correc! saquence of events Is Inlilated ond the right alarm comes on, 6. MAINTENANCE: G4 Inspection: Drawout Case To Inspect the telay, loosen the cover nuls and remove the cover. Rotate the latches which then provide finger holes for withdrawing the relay chassis, The action of rotating the latches operates a swilch which alates the trip elrcuits Dust Filter: Dust fliers should be examined ot lecst once in a year. If necessary the fitor element should be clecned cs follows: Remove the filler unit fora the rolcy case, Remove tha while/block nylon filer element, Wash tne element In detergent, rinse ond diy. Dip Ihe element in light machine oll and shake olf excess oll. Replace the ter urit in the reley case. ATTRACTED ARMATURE UNIT: the allracled aimolure relays are very simple and robust and rerely go wrong, Unless the relay Is not operating corectly or damage hes occured, It should be left undisturbed. Hecttical tests can be cented out ence a yecr, if desired, to veilfy that the relay operctes satisfactorily and that the pick-up Is within the specified tolerance. Contact should be examined fo ensure that they are clean, I it & necessary fo clean them a bumishing tool should be Used. It Is most | Important that fles or abrasive materials are NOT used for cleaning } contocts. It the contacts are badly damaged, elther relum the relay to the factory ‘of replace the contacts and process as set oul in “Mechanical Settings’. Mechanical Settings: ‘Atacted armature units will pot function comectly unless contac! pressures, ermature gops ae, ave within tha manufacturing tolerances. These settings will not change during normal use and It Is not necessary to make any routine checks on them, However, if parts have bean replaced or repaired the settings must be readjusted. Contacts: When replacing contacts thoy should be bent slightly adjacent to the Insulating blocks, so thet they exert a pressure on the push-tods or support arms. Bofore commencing with the seltings ensure that The amature platform Is level The bottom contacts are siting on the push-rod shoulders The push-rods are vertical The contact figs are level when viewed from the front. With O010" feeler guage between the armature and coreface close the amature by exerting pressure above the centra line of the coreface. ‘Adjust the top contact cnd support z9 that the conlocls, Just touch, This ives @ follow through of 0.020", Set the contact gap to 0.45410.050" by adjusting the armature stop. Using a gramme guage, check that the fixed contact ifts eff Its support when a pressure of 20/25 grammes ls exertad and that the bottom contact touches the lop contoct when a pressure of 20/30 grammes ts applied, Tho prestures should be token with the arm of the guage placed under the tigs of the contact Any adjustment Is obtained by Increasing or decreasing the bend out Into the contact at the start of the sotting procedure. Check ail sellings. Operation Indicator: The shlold must be perfectly fice to drop when the contacls are about to touch or Jus! before they fouch, but naver after. This enables that the contacts do not close without the operation indicator boing displayed. Agjusiment Is made by bending the spring calch, which locates In a notch In the amature. Contacts: Two palis of normally open self reset contacls are filled and rated as follows: Moke ond cony Moke and camy ‘continuously for 3 seconds Break ac. 1250 VA with maxima 7600 VA with maxima 4250 VA with maxima of Somps.and of S0.ampr.and of 5. amps. and 660 volts 660 volts 600 vals. de. 1250 watts with 7900 watts with 100 watts (esistive) mexima mexima 50 waits fincuctive} ‘of 5 amps. ond of 30. amps. and with mesima of 5 amps 660 vols 660 vals cand 660 volts Note: the static circulty s so designed that these rarely go wrong. and unles: Ine relay Is not opercting correctly or damage has occurred these should be left undisturbed.
