High Burden Tripping Relays

RXMN and RXMVC
—
The High Burden Tripping Relay
provides enhanced security in the
substations and avoids opening
of the circuit breaker due to
capacitive discharge currents
when there is an earth fault in
long DC cables. The self reset trip
relay (RXMN) and electrically or
manually resettable latched trip
relay (RXMVC) fulfill applicable
international standards.

Application
High burden tripping relays type RXMVC and
RXMN are designed for use in high security
tripping applications. Such applications require
immunity to capacitive discharge due to earth
fault in DC cables. The relays have heavy duty
bridge contacts for direct connection to circuit
breaker tripping coils.
Typical applications are as master trip relays and
trip lockout relays in protection schemes.
High coil burden during operation that is reduced
to either zero or a low value after pick-up provides
immunity to capacitive discharges and at the
same time ensures that the station battery is not
overloaded.
Design
The relays essentially contain an electromagnetic
part consisting of a magnetic circuit including an
armature and an electronic circuit to regulate the
input voltage and duration of burden.
RXMN relay is of self-reset type. It contains a
plunger type armature which operates the
moving contacts when the coil is energized. In the
de-energized condition, the armature is held in
open position by a spring. The fixed contacts are
directly mounted on the terminal plate.
RXMVC relay is of bi-stable type. It has two
identical stable positions with an operate and a
reset coil. When either coil is energized with the
correct polarity a repulsion occurs and the
armature switches to the other side where it
locks magnetically.
In the both types, the electronic circuit comprises
of a voltage regulator at the input, a timing circuit
that controls the duration of burden and a
switching circuit that controls the supply to the
coil. The coil supply terminals are polarized, thus
safeguarding the electronic circuits. The relays
occupy 4 seats in COMBIFLEX modular design.
In RXMVC there is a built-in interlock feature that
prevents electrical resetting during operation.
All contacts are of heavy duty bridge type with
high breaking capacity and low contact
resistance. Contact bounce is negligible.
Various combinations of NO and NC contacts are
available, please see ordering information.
The high operating burden of the coil persists for
50ms to allow external series flag relays, if any,
to operate. The burden is reduced to a low value
after 50ms in the self-reset variant.
It is reduced to zero after 50ms in the electrical /
hand reset variant. Thus, there is no continuous
load on the auxiliary supply and also no risk of
welding of protective relay output contacts.
