EARTH FAULT RELAY EARTH LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL RELAY STATIC RELAY ( MICROPROCESSOR

BASED)

NUMERICAL RELAYS
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or ELCB

If any current leaks from any electrical installation, there must-be any insulation failure in the
electrical circuit, it must be properly detected and prevented otherwise there may be a high
chance of electrical shock if-anyone touches the installation. An earth leakage circuit
breaker does it efficiently. Means it detects the earth leakage current and makes the power
supply off by opening the associated circuit breaker. There are two types of earth leakage
circuit breaker, one is voltage ELCB and other is current ELCB.
Voltage Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker
The working principle of voltage ELCB is quite simple. One terminal of the relay coil is
connected to the metal body of the equipment to be protected against earth leakage and other
terminal is connected to the earth directly. If any insulation failure occurs or live phase wire
touches the metal body, of the equipment, there must be a voltage difference appears across
the terminal of the coil connected to the equipment body and earth.
This voltage difference produces a current to flow the relay coil.

If the voltage difference crosses, a predetermined limit, the current through the relay becomes
sufficient to actuate the relay for tripping the associated circuit breaker to disconnect the
power supply to the equipment. The typicality of this device is, it can detect and protect only
that equipment or installation with which it is attached. It cannot detect any leakage of
insulation in other installation of the system.
Current ELCB or RCCB or Residual Current Circuit Breaker
The working principle of current earth leakage circuit breaker or RCCB is also very
simple as voltage operated ELCB but the theory is entirely different and residual current
circuit breaker is more sensitive than ELCB. Actually, ELCBs are of two kinds, but it is
general practice to refer voltage based ELCB as simple ELCB. And current based ELCB is
referred as RCD or RCCB. Here one CT core is energized from both phase wise and neutral
wire.

SINGLE PHASE RCCB OR CURRENT ELCB:
The polarity of the phase winding and neutral winding on the core is so chosen that, in
normal condition mmf of one winding opposes that of another. As it is assumed that, in
normal operating conditions the current goes through the phase wire will be returned via
neutral wire if there's no leakage in between. As both currents are same, the resultant mmf
produced by these two currents is also zero-ideally. The relay coil is connected with another
third winding wound on the CT core as secondary. The terminals of this winding are
connected to a relay system. In normal operating condition there would not be any current
circulating in the third winding as here is no flux in the core due to equal phase and neutral
current. When any earth leakage occurs in the equipment, there may be part of phase current
passes to the earth, through the leakage path instead of returning via mental wire. Hence the
magnitude of the neutral current passing through the RCCB is not equal to phase current
passing through it.

THREE PHASE RESIDUAL CURRENT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR CURRENT
ELCB:
When this difference crosses a predetermined value, the current in the third secondary
winding of the core becomes sufficiently high to actuate the electromagnetic relay attached to
it.
This relay causes tripping of the associated circuit breaker to disconnect the power supply to
the equipment under protection. Residual current circuit breaker is sometimes also referred as
residual current device (RCD) when we consider the device by disassociating the circuit
breaker attached to RCCB. That means, the entire parts of RCCB except circuit breaker are
referred as RCD.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EARTH LEAKAGE RELAY AND ELCB:
According to IEC 60947-2, Annex B,earth fault current is the current flowing to earth
due to insulation fault and Earth leakage current is the current flowing from the live parts of
the installation to earth in the absence of an insulation fault. Earth Leakage Circuit breaker
(ELCB or RCCB) has integral current breaking device. It detects as well as protects

the system by opening the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds the set
value.
ELR is a relay that send a signal to the shunt coil of a circuit breaker (MCCB or
ACB) whenever the leakage current exceeds the set level.

TESTING OF CT AND PT
Installation of protective relays at project sites has a number of possibilities for errors while
implementation of the scheme due to incorrect connection of CT/PTs. The impact of such
errors may result in unwanted tripping or failure to trip under fault conditions, leading to
major equipment damage, disruption to supplies and potential hazards to personnel.
Commissioning tests at site are therefore invariably performed before protection equipment
is set to work. The aims of commissioning tests are:
1. To ensure that the equipment has not been damaged during transit or installation
2. To ensure that the installation work has been carried out correctly
3. To prove the correct functioning of the protection scheme as a whole
Instruments transformers (CT and PT) are devices through which current and voltage are
sensed for operating the relays.
The following are some of the important tests conducted on CTs and PTs
Continuity test.
Ratio test
Polarity test
Insulation resistance test
Secondary resistance test
Accuracy test.
Burden test.
Burden test is to ensure that the connected burden to CT is within the rated burden as per the
name plate details.
Inject the rated secondary current of the CT, from CT terminals towards load side by isolating
the CT secondary with all connected load and observe the voltage drop across the injection
points. The burden VA can be calculated as
Burden VA = Voltage drop x rated CT sec. Current.

Limits:
The calculated burden should be less than rated CT burden.
The ammeter connected to the secondary of the current transformer should be a robust
moving coil, permanent magnet, centre-zero type. A low voltage battery is used, via a single-
pole push-button switch, to energize the primary winding. On closing the push-button, the
DC ammeter, A, should give a positive flick and on opening, a negative flick.
The voltage transformer polarity can be checked using the method for CT polarity tests.
Care must be taken to connect the battery supply to the primary winding, with the polarity
ammeter connected to the secondary winding.

Rationale / importance of this experiment: A fuse is a simplest, cheapest and most reliable
protective device which provides protection against over current and short circuit. One or the
other type of fuse is used in all the equipments/ power circuit wirings/meter boards/ metering
panels/ service connections/LT lines/HT lines/Auto-electricals/control panels etc.It is the
most fundamental element of any electrical circuit. A fuse is definitely present in all
electrical circuits irrespective of other protective device like MCBs.
The study of fuse characteristics forms the base / foundation for interpreting the
characteristics of protective relays. Because the reliability of any protection scheme depends
on the time taken by the relay to sense ,operate and open the circuit breaker . The more the
delay, greater will be the damage due to fault current. Hence by plotting the time-current
characteristics the students will be able practically understand the importance of time (quick
operation) when the magnitude of fault current is high.

identify the different types of fuses and fuse elements.

TRIANER KITS BASED EXPERIMENTS
EXAMPLE WIRING FOR TESTING - OVER / UNDER VOLTAGE RELAY USING
Relay testing may be done using discrete components / devices or by using trainer kits.
Keeping the cost of relays in mind and multiple handling /usage of the components, it is
preferred to conduct relay testing experiments using trainer kits. The above diagram shows
two kits namely voltage injection kit and the other one is the relay under test. (similarly,
for testing over current relay current injection kit will be used). The wirings are made using
patch cords as shown in the diagram.
The concept of wiring is same for testing other relays like over current relay, earth fault relay.
The voltage injection kit has the following features:
01. DC, 110 V Aux power supply for relay.

02. Variable Voltage Source to test the operation of the relay ( over voltage or under
voltage).
03. Digital timer for measuring the time taken by the relay to operate when the voltage
exceeds the set value.
CONDUCTION OF THE EXPERIMENT

Initially the plug setting and the time setting will be made on the relay.( In case of static
relays, DIP switches will be adjusted as per requirement and in case of digital / numerical
relays , programming will be done by using touch pads / buttons / keys on the numerical
relay)
Selector switches are provided for set and test positions on the voltage injection kit.
First the selector switch will be put onset position and the voltage source will be varied until
the relay operates. After setting the voltage at which relay operates, the position of variable
voltage will be kept constant (i.e, it will be not be disturbed) and the relay and the timer will
be reset. Now the selector switch will be put on test position and the time taken by the relay
to operate is noted. The experiment is repeated for different voltages, plug setting and time
settings.
The above procedure is common for all trainer kit based relay experiments.
NOTE: The trainer kits may of separate voltage / current injection kit and separate relay kits
as shown above OR combine kits as shown below.

SOME USEFUL TIPS / INFORMATION
Evolution of Relays:

Mechanical relays developed in the 1800s were the first form of electrical protection. While
still being reliable and widely used these were superseded by static relays in the early 1980s.
Static relays have no moving parts (hence the name) and operated on the basis of analogue
circuitry. More recently static relays have been superseded by first digital relays and now
numerical microprocessor based devices.
Tripping Curves
IEC 60255 Characteristics
The IEC 60255 standard defines four standard current time characteristics – standard inverse
(SI), very inverse (VI), extremely inverse (EI) and long-time inverse. Each characteristic can
be calculated from:
where:
t = tripping time in (S)
I = fault (actual) secondary CT current (A)
Is = relay pick-up current setting)
TMS = time multiplier setting
Characteristic α K
Standard 0.02 0.14

Inverse
Very Inverse 1.0 13.5
Extremely 2.0 80
Inverse
Long-time 1.0 120

Inverse
Relay characteristics are sometimes classified according to the tripping time at 10 times the
setting current (i.e. [3s/10] - a standard inverse curve which will trip in 3 seconds at 10 times
the current setting). Tripping times for the various relays are:
Standard Inverse (SI) [3s/10] or [1.3s/10]
Very Inverse (VI) [1.5s/10]
Extremely Inverse (EI) [0.8s/10]
Long Time Standard Earth Fault [13.3s/10]
North American Characteristics
Current time characteristics in North America as classified

as IEEE Moderately Inverse, IEEE Very Inverse, IEEE
Extremely Inverse, US C08 Inverse and US CO2 Short
Time Inverse. These are given by:
where:
t = tripping time in (S)
I = fault (actual) secondary CT current (A)
Is = relay pick-up current setting
TD = time dial setting (multiplier)
Characteristic α β K

Setting Example (IEC 60255)
An 1000 Amp breaker protected by relay with Standard Inverse characteristic. The relay
pick-up current value is set at 0.8, time multiplier setting is 7 and the fault current is 8000
A. What will be the tripping time?
∑ - from the table α = 0.02, K = 0.14

∑ - pick-up current setting = 1000 A x 0.8 = 800 A
∑ - using the IEC 60255 equations, the tripping time is:
CDG11/16 Curves
If you have the 3sec relay's trip curve, you can just multiply the time with 1.3 and divide the
answer with 3. That is the time for the 1.3sec relay.
