Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1 Electromechanical Relays
A relay could be defined as an electrically operated switch for opening and closing circuits. The principle of
Electromagnets is used to operate the switch in the Alpha range of relays.

1.1 The Electromagnet


A simple example of an electromagnet is shown in Figure 1-1. A coil of wire is wound around a soft-iron core.
This iron is shaped like a horseshoe and is known as the core. A piece of soft iron, known as the armature is
located near to the core. The armature is pivoted at one end and is held away from the core by a spring. (As
shown in Figure 1-1)

Figure 1-1 Principal elements of an Electromechanical Relay

Circuit A in Figure 1-1 allows the electromagnet to become a relay. When current is flowing in the coil winding and
the un-pivoted end of the armature is attracted to the core, circuit A is completed because the Circuit A contacts
touch. The moving of the un-pivoted end of the armature to the core could be thought of as the closing of the
switch in the analogy of a relay being an electrically operated switch.

Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1.2 Simple relay elements

Figure 1-2 shows the basic lay out of an electromagnetic relay. This skeleton relay is of a popular style of
assembly and forms the basis for all the Alpha relays. For ease of construction and to save space the core is
made in the form of a straight bar but a magnetic circuit of horseshoe shape is obtained by means of the yoke.

Figure 1-2 Basic Layout of an Electromagnet relay

The component parts are as follows:

Core, consisting of a soft-iron rod with an enlarged end called the pole face.

Coil Winding, consisting of insulated wire round the core. *

Yoke, L shaped piece of soft iron attached at one end to the coil. (Known as the heel end.)

Armature, L shaped piece of soft iron pivoted at the front end of the yoke.

A contact stack, mounted on the yoke and operated by the moving armature.

*Complete assembly of core and the coil winding is called the coil.

When a current flows in the coil winding, a magnetic field is built up. The majority of the magnetic lines of force
(flux) follow the blue dotted line shown in Figure 1-2. The armature is therefore attracted to the core,
consequently operating the lever spring and closing the contacts. When the current is removed from the coil
winding, the magnetic field collapses and the mechanical pressure of the contact springs causes the armature
and the contacts to return to there normal (reset) positions.

Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1.3 Magnetic Reluctance


The magnetic circuit is important to the correct operation and adjustment of a relay. It consists of the core, yoke,
armature and the space or air-gap between the pole-face of the core and the armature. For the relay to operate or
pick-up, the current flowing in the coil must create sufficient force to overcome the weight of the contact stack and
allow the armature to move towards the pole-face. The magnetic force produced is proportional to the current
flowing multiplied by the number of turns on the coil (the Ampere-Turns). The Ampere-Turns used, are kept as
low as possible in order to reduce the burden (amount of electrical power needed to operate the relay). The
reluctance of the magnetic circuit must also be kept low.
The magnetic reluctance is kept low by the following steps:
The core, yoke and armature are all made from “Radio metal” – this is a 48% nickel iron alloy which is
heat treated to enhance its magnetic properties.
The air-gap is kept as small as possible. The air-gap causes the greatest amount of the total reluctance
in the relay.
The pole-face may be enlarged on the end of the core. This further reduces the reluctance of the air-gap.

Figure 1-5 Graph displaying the build up of current in a relay coil

The relay coil possesses Inductance, which tends to slow the rise in current when the relay is energised. This
slows the build-up of the magnetic flux and so causes an operate delay in the relay. Figure 1-5 shows the build
up of current in a relay coil. Figure 1-5 shows that for a relay operating at 50%, the operating delay will be
typically 40ms.

Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1.3.1 Radio Metal

Radio metal is used for the magnetic circuit for two main reasons:
1. It can carry a high level of magnetic flux (and so has a low reluctance).
2. This material quickly loses it’s magnetic flux once the relay is switched off. This allows the
armature to release quickly and the relay has a fast reset.
The distance the armature moves is known as the travel of the relay.
This must be less than the air-gap, in order to allow the residual air-gap to be present. The residual air-gap allows
the armature release to be controlled.

1.4 Time Lag Relays

For specific tasks it is a requirement to delay the operation of the relay element or delay the resetting of the relay
element. Eddy currents are present in all relays, these tend to increase the operate and reset time of the element.
The Eddy current effect can be increased by providing a closed path of low resistance around the core. For this a
copper ‘Slug’ is fitted to the relay core, next to the coil. The magnetic effects produced by the eddy currents
depend on the position of the slug on the core.

1.4.1 Relay with Heel End slug Operating Condition

Figure 1-6 Relay with heel end slug

When the coil is energised, the rising flux induces a heavy eddy current in the slug, which in turn sets up a
magnetizing force in opposition to the main current. The flux due to the coil will tend to avoid entering the slug,
therefore it will leak across to the yoke (as shown) completing the magnetic circuit and operating the relay.
Therefore a heel-end slug will have little effect upon the operate time of a relay.

Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1.4.2 Relay with Heel End slug Resetting Condition

Figure 1-7 Relay with heel end slug

When the relay is switched off, the current drops to zero immediately, but the eddy currents allow the flux to be
maintained as they decay. A heel-end slug will therefore give a drop-off delay to the element. The time for which
the relay will remain operated depends upon the size of the slug and the force of the contacts tending to reset the
element.

1.4.3 Relay with Armature End slug Operating Condition

Figure 1-8 Relay with armature end slug

When the coil is energised, the rising flux induces an eddy current in the slug, which in turn sets up a magnetizing
force in opposition to the main current. The flux due to the coil will tend to avoid entering the slug, therefore it will
leak across to the yoke (as shown). The leakage flux completes the magnetic circuit, without operating the relay
as it does not pass through the armature. Once the eddy current dies down, the flux will pass through the slug
and operate the relay. Therefore an armature-end slug will effect the operate time of a relay.

Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1.4.4 Relay with Armature End slug Resetting Condition

Figure 1-9 Relay with armature end slug

When the relay is switched off, the current drops to zero immediately, but the eddy currents allow the flux to be
maintained as they decay. An armature-end slug will therefore give a drop-off delay to the element. The time for
which the relay will remain operated depends upon the size of the slug and the force of the contacts tending to
reset the element.

1.5 Contacts
There are three basic contact types:
1. Make (or Normally Open). A make contact pair is one which will close and carry current when the relay is
operated.
2. Break (or Normally Closed). A break contact pair is one which will open and interrupt current when the
relay is operated.
3. Changeover. A combination of the above using three contacts, in which the moving contact is common
to both circuits. When the relay is operated the moving contact will break from one fixed contact and
make with another as the armature moves.

1.5.1 Contact Material

Fine silver has the highest electrical and thermal properties of all metals. It is the best general purpose contact
material available. However, it is affected by sulphidation. This forms a film on the surface of the silver which
increases contact interface resistance. Silver and silver alloys sulphidate, therefore contact pressures must be
great enough to break through this film. (Controlled arcing will also be helpful in that it burns off the deposit and
contact over-travel wipes away the residue.)
An interface voltage of several tenths of a volt can result with fine silver contacts because of the sulphide film.
Breaking through this film generates used for low-level switching. Fine silver and silver alloy contacts are for use
in circuits of 12 volts, 0.4 ampere, or more.

1.5.2 Contact Arcing

An electrical arc occurs between the two contact tips when they change from a closed to an open state (break
arc) or from an open to a closed state (make arc). The break arc is typically more energetic and thus more
destructive. The heat energy contained in the electrical arc is very high, causing the metal on the contact to melt
& migrate with the current. The extremely high temperature of the arc breaks down the surrounding air creating
ozone, carbon monoxide, and other compounds. The arc energy slowly destroys the contact metal, causing some
material to escape into the air as fine particulate matter. This activity causes the material in the contacts to
degrade over time, ultimately resulting in device failure.
For example, a properly applied relay may have a life span of 10,000 to 100,000 operations when run under
power. This is significantly less than the mechanical life of the same device which can be in excess of a million
operations.

Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1.5.3 Material Transfer and Material Loss

As switch contacts begin to separate, the area of contact diminishes.


Current flowing through this increasingly constricted area generates heat which causes the contact material to
melt, then boil. The liquefied metal tends to collect on the cathode contact because that contact is cooler than the
anode contact. Material transfer also occurs during arcing. However, under this condition, material transfer is from
cathode to anode—the amount of transfer being dependent on the severity and duration of the arc, and the type
of contact material used.
Material loss is due primarily to splattering of the molten and boiling metal as contacts bounce on make. Such
loss can be significant over the course of thousands of operations, and the only practical way to minimize it is by
arc suppression. Arc suppression quickly quenches the arc, thereby holding contact temperatures lower.

1.5.4 Contact Protection

Perhaps the most popular method of quenching an arc between separating contacts is with a Resistor-Capacitor
network placed directly across the contacts. As the contacts just begin to separate and an arc ignites, load current
feeding the arc will be shunted into the capacitor through the series resistance, depriving the arc of some of its
energy. As a result, arc duration will be shortened and material loss will be minimized.
For quenching DC arcs in certain applications, relays are available that have a permanent magnet located in
close proximity to the contacts.
The magnet repels the DC arc, thereby stretching the arc and causing it to weaken and extinguish quickly.

1.6 Back EMF

Relay coils are a type of electromagnet. The relay coil will store energy when powered and will generate a “back
EMF”, or counter EMF (CEMF), when the supply is switched off. If this back EMF is not controlled or suppressed
it will generate very large voltages that in turn can:

1) Cause arcing at contacts, reducing contact life.


2) Generate Interference, which may damage electronics or cause loss of data.

A large back EMF will be generated, by the collapsing magnetic field, when the supply to a relay coil is switched
off. The disconnected relay coil acts like a current source; generating whatever voltage is necessary to try and
keep current flowing through the open contacts. Back EMF cannot be prevented but it can be controlled. In
suppressing the back EMF the objective is to prevent the very high voltages and dissipate the stored energy in a
safe way.

Introduction to Electromechanical Relays

1.6.1 Back EMF Suppression – Flywheel Diode

The current flowing in a relay coil is very like a free spinning flywheel. When the supply voltage is turned off, the
wheel keeps turning. The flywheel diode provides a means of applying a brake to the flywheel. When the supply
voltage is connected the diode is reverse biased and is effectively out of circuit. When the switch opens flywheel
current produces a back EMF in the opposite polarity and so the diode will conduct. The diode does a very good
job of suppressing the back EMF and clamps the voltage to around a volt.

AR – Auxiliary Relay

Type AR relays are a range of electro-mechanical relays with up to 8 contacts and complying to BS142. Heavy
duty contacts are available on most models. The relays are identified by a series of numbers and letters which
define important relay features.

Table 1-1 Numbering of Relay Features


First Digit Second Digit – Type of Flag Third Digit – Type of contact reset
0 No Flag 1 Self
Number of 1 Hand reset 2 Hand
Identical 2 Hand reset reverse acting 3 Electrical & Hand
Elements 3 Self reset 4 Hand & Self
4 Self reset reverse acting 6 Electrical

AR relays have been developed for use as ‘instantaneous’ or delayed, self or hand-reset a.c. or d.c. operated
repeat contactors with or without mechanical flag indication. The burden on the operate coil is generally small
(less than 10 watts) it is for that reason possible to have AR relays continuously rated. An exception to this is the
AR 112SB and the AR 212SB.
The operate coil in an AR relay is only powerful enough to drive a maximum of 8 contacts. In order to increase the
numbers of user available contacts two elements (two operate coils) are used to double the contact availability.

Relays are set within the range of 80% to 100% of nominal time.

1.1 Contact Reset


1.1.1 Self Reset

The output contacts of self reset relays are held in the operate position whilst the relay operate coil is energised.

1.1.2 Hand Reset


The contacts of hand reset relays are held in the operated position by a mechanical latch which is released by the
reset mechanism.

1.1.3 Electrical Reset


The contacts of electrically reset relays are held in the operated position by a mechanical latch which is released
by energising the reset coil.

1.1.4 Hand and Electrical Reset


Hand and electrical reset models can have the main contacts reset either by hand from a mechanical latch on
front cover or electrically via the reset coil.

1.1.5 Self and Hand Reset


Self and Hand reset models can have the main contacts reset either by hand from a push button on front cover or
via the self reset option discussed in 1.2.1.

1.2 Flag Reset

1.2.1 Self Reset

While the relay operate coil is energised a flag indicator is displayed.

1.2.2 Hand Reset


When the relay operate coil is energised, the flag indicator is displayed. The indicator remains visible until it is
reset by a mechanical lever operated by hand from the front cover of the relay.

AR – Auxiliary Relay

1.2.3 Self Reset Reverse Acting

The relay operate coil is normally energised, while the coil de-energises the flag indicator is displayed.

1.2.4 Hand Reset Reverse Acting


The relay operate coil is normally energised, when the operate coil de-energises the flag indicator is displayed.
The indicator remains visible until it is reset by a mechanical lever operated by hand from the front cover of the
relay.

1.3 Special features

1.3.1 Delay on Energisation/De-Energisation

The suffix T indicates time delayed relays. The time delay is created by applying a slug to the coil of the relay.
The slug fitted at the armature end of the coil causes a delay on Energisation and a slug fitted at the heel end of
the slug causes a delay on De-Energisation. Table 1-2 and Table 1-3 show the range of AR relays that have
these delays applied and the delay times.

1.3.2 Series Break


The suffix SB identifies a relay with a series break contact to cut-off the operating coil, thus the relay burden
becomes zero after operation of this contact. Only available with AR relays which have hand reset contacts.

1.3.3 Suppression diode


The Suffix D indicates a relay fitted with a suppression diode across the coil to reduce the effects of back EMF on
switch off. Most of the DC operated Auxiliary relay range can be supplied with a suppression diode.

AR – Auxiliary Relay

2 Description of Operation

2.1 7PG1110-1 (AR101)

This Auxiliary Relay can be specified with 2, 4, 6 or 8 user available contacts. The Relay can be powered from
either a DC or AC supply. For AC applications the supply to the operating coil is converted to DC by a full bridge
rectifier (This configuration is shown in Figure 2-1and Figure 2-2).
The relay is operated by the protection contact PR. The contacts are held in the operate position until RL1 is de-
energised, after this they return to there normal position. (Self Reset) An applications diagram and explanation
can be found in Applications 6.1.
There is no flag indicator on the front of the relay.
This relay is also available with 2 elements therefore doubling the number of user available contacts, the
7PG11201 (AR 201) is supplied with 4, 8 or 12 user available contacts.
This relay is also available with a delay on de-energisation, 7PG1110-1***0-*A** (AR101T) / 7PG1120-1***0-****
(AR201T). The AR 101T relay can be specified with 2, 4 or 6 user available contacts. The AR 201T relay can be
specified with 4, 8 or 12 user available contacts. The AR 101T / 201T can only be powered from a DC supply.

This relay is also available with 2 elements therefore doubling the number of user available contacts, the
7PG11212***4 (AR 212SB) is supplied with 2, 6 or 10 user available contacts††.
†The MLFB code quotes the total number of contacts i.e. 2, 4, 6 or 8 contacts, this is correct but there are 1, 3, 5 or 7 user
available contacts, the extra contact is used as the SB (Series Break).

††The MLFB code quotes 2, 4, or 6 contacts per element (4, 8, or 12 in total) providing 1, 3, or 5 contacts per element (2, 6 or
10 in total) user available contacts, the extra contact pairings are used as the SB (Series Break) in each element.

AR – Auxiliary Relay

2.10 7PG1112-4 (AR124)

This Auxiliary Relay can be specified with 4 or 6 user available contacts. The Relay can be powered from either a
DC or AC supply. For AC applications the supply to the operating coil is converted to DC by a full bridge rectifier
(This configuration is shown in Figure 2-19 and Figure 2-20).

The relay is normally energised. The relay operates when RL1 is de-energised, the SR (self reset) contacts are
held in the operate position until RL1 resets (is energised), after this they return to there normal position. The HR
(hand reset) contacts are held in the operate position while RL1 is un-energised. If the relay Rests (is energised)
the hand reset contacts remain in the operate state. The hand reset contacts are reset by the flag mechanism on
the front of the relay.
The flag on the front of the relay is reset by hand and is reverse acting (indicates that RL1 has de-energised
(operated)).

AR – Auxiliary Relay

2.15 7PG1110-7AE10-0A*0 (AR 901)

This Auxiliary Relay has 4 user available contacts, it has been designed for a specific function to be used in
conjunction with the 7SR23 DAD relay to act as a CT shorting Relay. The Relay is powered from a DC supply.
After initial operation of RL1 due to the closing of the PR the supply to RL1 is cut by the break contact RL1-A. The
output contacts break and are held in this position by a mechanical latch. This is the normal state of the relay and
contacts.
Energisation of the Reset solenoid causes the relay to operate and the output contacts to make (short out
connected CTs). An applications diagram and explanation can be found in Applications 6.3.
The relay is reset electrically by operating RL1.
There is no flag indicator on the front of the relay.

4 Installation

4.1 Unpacking, Storage and Handling

On receipt remove the relay from the container in which it was received and inspect it for obvious damage. It is
recommended that the relay not be removed from its case.
If damage has been sustained a claim should be immediately be made against the carrier, also inform Siemens
Protection Devices Limited, and the nearest Siemens agent.
When not required for immediate use, the relay should be returned to its original carton and stored in a clean, dry
place.
The relay contains static sensitive devices, which are susceptible to damage due to static discharge. The relay’s
electronic circuits are protected from damage by static discharge when the relay is housed in its case.
There can be no requirement to disassemble any relay, since there are no user serviceable parts in the relay. If
any modules have been tampered with, then the guarantee will be invalidated. Siemens Protection Devices
Limited reserves the right to charge for any subsequent repairs.

4.2 Wiring
The product should be wired according to the scheme requirements, with reference to the appropriate wiring
diagram.

4.3 Front Cover


The front cover provides additional securing of the relay element within the case. The relay cover should be in
place during normal operating conditions.

4.4 Fixings

4.4.1 Crimps
Ring tongued crimps with 90 bend are recommended.

4.4.2 Panel Fixings


Typical mounting screw kit per Relay consists of:
4 M4x10mm Screws

trained in protective relay operation and capable of observing all the necessary safety precautions and regulations
appropriate to this equipment and also the associated primary plant.

Equipment should be isolated from auxiliary supplies and the circuit breaker trip circuit prior to commencing any
work on an installed product.

5.2 Unpacking, Handling and Storage


On receipt unpack the relay and inspect for any obvious damage.

If damage has been sustained a claim should immediately be made against the carrier, also inform Siemens and
the nearest Siemens agent.

When not immediately required, return the relay to it’s carton and store in a clean, dry place.

5.3 Preliminary Tests


Check that the relay operating voltage (and reset voltage if a reset coil is fitted) are correct for the auxiliary
voltage to be used. In some instances relays are to be used with the coil in a series with a voltage dropper
resistor, this is advised on the Order Acknowledgement and shown on the relay label as “+Ext R”, suitable
resistors are supplied with the relay, ensure that such resistors are mounted vertical, and secure and wired to the
correct relay coil.

Isolate from the auxiliary supply(s) by removing fuses and line as necessary.

Physically check the wiring to the relay terminals for security and prove that it is wired correctly to the circuit
schematic wiring diagrams.

5.4 Mechanical Settings


It should not be necessary to adjust settings during routine tests unless parts have been replaced or other repairs
carried out. Adjustment of one setting will often influence another, therefore all settings must be checked after the
final adjustment.

5.5 Contacts
Contact tips are fine silver on copper and should only be burnished if any pitting has occurred. Contact pressures
are set by gentle pressure with contact setting pliers near to the contact stack assembly, during this operation
avoid putting any stress on the contact actuating comb. Contact pressures should be measured using an
accurate gram gauge at the tip of the contact leaf.

AR – Auxiliary Relay

6 Applications

6.1 AR 101 Trip Relay Auto Reset interlocking Relay

Figure 6-1 Applications Diagram: 7PG1110-1 (AR 101)

Figure 6-1 shows the AR 101 used as a Trip Relay Auxiliary Relay in a Trip Relay Auto Reset Scheme. The AR
101 is a self reset relay; Figure 6-1 shows the scheme in it de-energised state, the AR101 is a normally de-
energised relay.

The operation of the Protection Relay contact will cause the Protection Trip Relay to operate and latch. The
AR101 Relay will also operate for as long as the Protection Relay remains operated, when the fault has been
cleared the Protection will reset, allowing this AR101 to reset and complete the connection to the Trip Relay
Reset Coil.
Once the associated timer has expired (TD10 when the line isolator is closed, TD120 when the line isolator is
open) the trip relay will be reset.
If the operation of the Trip Relay (and circuit breaker) fails to clear the fault, the protection remains operated, the
AR101 energised and the TR Reset Coil is isolated from the timer outputs. This prevents the resetting of the Trip
Relay until the fault is cleared.

AR – Auxiliary Relay

6.2 AR 111 Intertrip Receive Trip Relay Auto Reset scheme

Figure 6-2 Applications Diagram: 7PG1111-1 (AR 111)

Figure 6-2 shows the AR 111 used as a Trip Relay Auxiliary Relay in a Trip Relay Auto Reset Scheme. The AR
111 is a self reset relay; Figure 6-2 shows the scheme in it de-energised state, the AR111 is a normally de-
energised relay.

The AR 111 is used in this application instead of the AR 101 because of its flag indicator. A Flag is required to
show an Intertrip signal is still being received from the remote end of the scheme and therefore the Intertrip
Receive Trip Relay (TR231) can’t be reset.

The operation of the intertripping unit will cause the Intertrip Receive Trip Relay to operate and latch. The AR111
Relay will also operate for as long as the Intertrip Receive Trip Relay remains operated, when the fault has been
cleared the intertripping unit will reset, allowing this AR111 to reset and complete the connection to the Trip Relay
Reset Coil.
Once the associated timer has expired (TD10 when the line isolator is closed, TD120 when the line isolator is
open) the trip relay will be reset.
If the operation of the Trip Relay (and circuit breaker) fails to clear the fault, the protection remains operated, the
AR111 energised and the TR Reset Coil is isolated from the timer outputs. This prevents the resetting of the Trip
Relay until the fault is cleared.

AR – Auxiliary Relay

6.3 AR 901 Current Transformer Shorting Relay Scheme

Figure 6-3 Applications Diagram: 7PG1110-7 (AR 901)

Figure 6-3 shows the AR 901 in a CT Shorting scheme. Figure 6-3 shows the AR 901 and its associated
contacts in there un-energised state. The AR 901 is electrically reset.
When the protection healthy is ‘on’ and the zone switch out is ‘off’, RL1 is energised causing the output contacts
of the AR 901 to break meaning the current transformers are in service (not shorted) the output contacts are held
in this position by a mechanical latch. The supply to RL1 breaks (RL1-A breaks) and a path from the protection
relay to the reset coil of the AR 901 is made (RL1-B makes). (This is the AR 901 in its normal state).
If the zone switch out changes state to ‘on’ and the protection healthy remains ‘on’ the reset coil will be operated,
this will cause the output contacts to make (Short the CT). The supply to the reset coil is then cut by RL1-B
breaking. The connection from the protection relay to RL1, is made By RL1-A making. (This is the AR 901
operating). The relay will also operate if the protection healthy changes state to ‘off’ (after RL1 has been
energised).

This manual is applicable to the following relays:
7PG1511-2 (TR112)
7PG1512-1 (TR121)
7PG1513-1 (TR131)
7PG1514-1 (TR141)
7PG1521-2 (TR212)
7PG1521-4 (TR214)
7PG1522-1 (TR221)
7PG1522-3 (TR223)

7PG1531-2 (TR312)
7PG1543-1 (TR431)
7PG1590-1 (TR901)

Type 7PG15 relays are a range of multi-contact attracted armature relays designed to comply with both IEC
60255 and to BS142. A wide range of models are available to meet the requirements of the electric supply
industry. These high speed, positive action relays can be supplied in a modular and draw out type case. The
cases are of a robust design for a long, reliable service life. Tripping relays incorporate a hand reset operation
indicator flag.

The majority of the 7PG15 range of relays can be separated in to 2 categories: High Burden relays and Low
Burden relays. Definitions of the burden levels are provided in the following standard.

TR – High Speed Tripping Relay

1.1 Burden
1.1.1 Low Burden 7PG151 (TR1) series

A Low Burden TR relay is normally utilised for tripping applications with double pole switched trip initiations. A
Low Burden TR relay must comply with the requirements specified in Table 1-3 Relay Burden Features.

Type 7PG151 (TR1) relays are suitable for application for tripping and auxiliary duties where immunity to
capacitance discharge and high minimum operation currents are not required. These relays are not intended for
use with current operated series follower relays.

1.1.2 High Burden 7PG152 (TR2) series

A High Burden TR relay is normally utilised for tripping applications with single pole switched trip initiations. A
High Burden TR relay must comply with the requirements specified in Table 1-3 Relay Burden Features.

Type 7PG152 (TR2) have a high burden, this ensures immunity to capacitance discharge currents. The
capacitance discharge currents can arise on substation battery circuits if an earth fault occurs on the battery
wiring. They are also suitable for certain applications where they are remote from the initiation signal.

A high burden also permits reliable operation of current operated series repeat relays. After operation of the relay
the high burden is automatically either switched out or reduced to a low economy level. This switch out can be
either instantaneous or time delayed. (This is displayed in Table 1-4 Relay Features.)

Table 1-3 Relay Burden Features


Rating Class High Burden Low Burden
Power Consumption < 150W and within 30 ms after operation <20W < 100W
Minimum Operating Current > 50mA >25mA
Minimum Operating Current for 48V & 30V 20mA 10mA
Relays
Capacitive Discharge Immunity Only required on 110V and 48V TR relays Not required

TR – High Speed Tripping Relay

1.3 TR-A (20 Contact High Burden Relays)


The High Burden relays available in the TR range are also available with 20 output contacts. These 20 contact
relays are named the TR-A range, a separate chapter covering the specifics of the TR-A range can be found in
chapter 5.

1.4 Contact Reset


1.4.1 Self Reset

The output contacts of self reset relays are held in the operate position whilst the relay operate coil is energised.

1.4.2 Hand Reset


The contacts of hand reset relays are held in the operated position by a mechanical latch which is released by the
cover mounted reset.

1.4.3 Electrical Reset


The contacts of electrically reset relays are held in the operated position by a mechanical latch which is released
by energising the reset coil.

1.4.4 Hand and Electrical Reset


Hand and electrical reset models can have the main contacts reset either by hand as explained in 1.4.2 or
electrically as explained in 1.4.3.

1.5 Operate Coil Cut Off


1.5.1 Economy

After initial operation the burden of the relay automatically reduced to a low economy level.

1.5.2 Instantaneous

After initial operation the burden of the relay automatically switches out. An internal heavy duty contact is
arranged to open circuit the operate coil when operated.

1.5.3 Time Delay Cut Off


Where instantaneous cut-off relays are utilised a normally closed contact opens the operating coil circuit and so
the burden is reduced to zero instantaneously. A time delay circuit has been introduced on various 7PG15
variants for occasions where another series operating element requires a longer operating time.

2 Description of Operation

2.1 Low Burden Relays

2.1.1 7PG1511-2 (TR112)


This low burden self reset economy relay can be specified with either 7 or 11 user available contacts.
When RL1 is operated by the protection contact PR, the contact RL1-A closes this energises the auxiliary relay
RL2. RL2 has two break contacts (One of which isn’t connected), when energised the contacts cause R1 to be
connected in series with RL1. The moving of R1 in to series with the main relay (RL1) reduces the burden on RL1
(This is the economy function of the relay operating).

2.1.3 7PG1513-1 (TR131)


This is a low burden latching trip relay which is instantaneously cut off and reset electrically. This relay can be
specified with either 6 or 10 user available contacts.
Operation of protection contact ‘PR’ causes RL1 to operate. The operation of RL1 causes RL1-A to break
therefore removing the supply to RL1 instantaneously. The operation of RL1 also causes RL1-B to make. The
relay is reset by applying volts across terminals 22 and 21 (6 Contact) or 25 and 26 (10 Contact). RL1-B will be
closed from the operation of RL1, hence creating a path to energise the Reset Solenoid.

TR – High Speed Tripping Relay

2.1.4 7PG1514-1 (TR141)


This is a low burden latching trip relay which is instantaneously cut off and reset either electrically or by hand.
This relay can be specified with either 6 or 10 user available contacts.
Operation of protection contact ‘PR’ causes RL1 to operate. The operation of RL1 causes RL1-A to break
therefore removing the supply to RL1 instantaneously. The relay is reset by applying volts across terminals 22
and 21 (6 Contact) or 25 and 26 (10 Contact). RL1-B will be closed from the operation of RL1, hence creating a
path to energise the Reset Solenoid.

TR – High Speed Tripping Relay

2.2 High Burden relays

2.2.1 7PG1521-2 (TR212)


This high burden self reset economy relay can be specified with either 6 or 10 user available contacts. The relay
has an option of two different circuits. One containing two elements used to switch in the economy circuit. The
other circuit option uses a late break contact to switch in the economy circuit, this allows this relay to be provided
in an E2 case for both the 6 contact and 10 contact variant (the two element circuit is provided in a E2 case for
the 6 contact variant and a E4 case for the 10 contact variant.)
Note: The TR-A 20 contact version of the TR212 is constructed with two elements used to provide the high
burden economy function.

2.2.2 7PG1521-2 (TR212 E2 Case, late break contact)


When RL1 is operated by the protection contact PR, the contact RL1-A breaks which removes the high burden
part of the circuit (R1). RL1-B is a late break contact, it will take longer to open than RL1-A meaning that the
economy circuit (R3/1 and R3/2) will be switched in after the high burden circuit (R1) has been removed thus
reducing the burden on the relay.

TR – High Speed Tripping Relay

2.2.3 7PG1521-2 (TR212 E2 case 6 contact, E4 case 10 contact)


When RL1 is operated by the protection contact PR, the contact RL1-A closes and the contact RL1-B opens. The
closing of RL1-A energises the auxiliary relay RL2 and the opening of RL1-B removes the shunt Resistor R1 from
the circuit. RL2 has two break contacts (One of which isn’t connected), when energised the contacts cause R3 to
be connected in series with RL1. The moving of R3 in to series with the main relay (RL1) reduces the burden on
RL1 (This is the economy function of the relay operating). The value of R1 and R3 can be found in table 2-3.

TR – High Speed Tripping Relay

2.2.4 7PG1521-4 (TR214)


This is a high burden latching trip which is switched to economy after operation. The relay has a 2 second
delayed drop off. This Relay can be specified with either 6 or 10 user available contacts.
Operation of protection contact ‘PR’ causes RL1 and RL3 to operate. Operation of RL3 causes RL1 to be
switched to economy mode (Supplied via R4). When PR resets RL3 is de-energised. RL3 has a 2 second time
delayed reset characteristic so RL1 resets after elapse of this 2 second delay.

2.2.6 7PG1522-3 (TR223)


This is a high burden latching trip relay with a 40/60ms delay before cut off. It is reset by hand. This relay can be
specified with either 7 or 11 user available contacts.
RL1 and RL2 are energised together (in series) when the +ve is applied to terminal 27. The NO contact of RL2
closes providing an alternative supply path to RL1. The break contact of RL1 opens causing the DC supply to be
interrupted to RL2. RL2 has a time delayed (40/60ms) drop-off time. After this time delay has elapsed its NO
contact re-opens and removes the supply from RL1.

2.2.7 7PG1523-1 (TR231)


This is a high burden trip relay which is instantaneously cut off and reset electrically. This relay can be specified
with either 6 or 10 user available contacts.
Operation of protection contact ‘PR’ causes RL1 to operate. The operation of RL1 causes RL1-A to break
therefore removing the supply to RL1 instantaneously. The relay is reset by applying volts across terminals 22
and 21 (6 Contact) or 25 and 26 (10 Contact). RL1-B will be closed from the operation of RL1, hence creating a
path to energise the Reset Solenoid.

TR – High Speed Tripping Relay

2.3 Specific Variant Relays

2.3.1 7PG1543-1 (TR431)


This is a low burden switching relay with an instantaneous cut off. It is reset electrically. This relay can be
specified with either 7 or 8 user available contacts. The relay is powered by a 50V DC / 125V DC supply. Output
connection 28 and 26 are used with R5 and R6 to allow for a 50V supply, as shown in Figure 2-27. Output
connection 24 and 22 are used to allow for a 125V supply. The flag displays a label reading ‘Out’ when RL1 is
energised and ‘In’ when RL1 is reset.
RL1 operates when the ‘out’ contact makes, this causes the output contacts to change state and RL1-A to break
and RL1-B to make. When RL1-A breaks the operating coil is cut off. When RL1-B makes, this allows the output
contacts to be reset when the ‘in’ contact makes.
The relay is used to switch in and out Protection and Auto Reclose circuits. It is AC immune to allow
use with long cross site cables.

2.3.2 7PG1563-1 (TR901)


This is a high burden plant follower relay with an instantaneous cut off. It is reset electrically. This relay is
specified with 10 user available contacts. The relay is powered from either a 50V DC or 125V DC supply. The flag
displays a label reading ‘closed’ when RL1 operates and ‘open’ when RL1 is reset.
RL1 operates when the protection contact makes, this causes the output contacts to change state and RL1-A to
break and RL1-B to make. When RL1-A breaks the operating coil is cut off. When RL1-B makes, this allows the
output contacts to be reset when the reset contact makes.
The relay is used to provide additional contacts for items of plant with insufficient auxiliary contacts.

5 Maintenance

5.1 Safety
The commissioning and future maintenance of this equipment should only be carried out by skilled personnel
trained in protective relay operation and capable of observing all the necessary safety precautions and regulations
appropriate to this equipment and also the associated primary plant.

Equipment should be isolated from auxiliary supplies and the circuit breaker trip circuit prior to commencing any
work on an installed product.

5.2 Unpacking, Handling and Storage


On receipt unpack the relay and inspect for any obvious damage.

If damage has been sustained a claim should immediately be made against the carrier, also inform Siemens and
the nearest Siemens agent.

When not immediately required, return the relay to it’s carton and store in a clean, dry place.

5.3 Preliminary Tests


Check that the relay operating voltage (and reset voltage if a reset coil is fitted) are correct for the auxiliary
voltage to be used. In some instances relays are to be used with the coil in a series with a voltage dropper
resistor, this is advised on the Order Acknowledgement and shown on the relay label as “+Ext R”, suitable
resistors are supplied with the relay, ensure that such resistors are mounted vertical, and secure and wired to the
correct relay coil.

Isolate from the auxiliary supply(s) by removing fuses and line as necessary.

Physically check the wiring to the relay terminals for security and prove that it is wired correctly to the circuit
schematic wiring diagrams.

5.4 Mechanical Settings


It should not be necessary to adjust settings during routine tests unless parts have been replaced or other repairs
carried out. Adjustment of one setting will often influence another, therefore all settings must be checked after the
final adjustment.

5.5 Contacts
Contact tips are fine silver on copper and should only be burnished if any pitting has occurred. Contact pressures
are set by gentle pressure with contact setting pliers near to the contact stack assembly, during this operation
avoid putting any stress on the contact actuating comb. Contact pressures should be measured using an
accurate gram gauge at the tip of the contact leaf.

TR-A High Speed Tripping Relay

1 Introduction
This manual is applicable to the following relays:
7PG1821-2 (TR-A 212)
7PG1821-4 (TR-A 214)
7PG1822-1 (TR-A 221)
7PG1822-3 (TR-A 223)

7PG1823-3 (TR-A 233)
7PG1824-1 (TR-A 241)
7PG1824-3 (TR-A 243)

Type 7PG18 relays are a range of 20 contact attracted armature, high burden relays. They are designed to
comply with both IEC 60255 and to BS142.

A wide range of models are available to meet the requirements of the electric supply industry. These high speed,
positive action relays are supplied in an epsilon case.

The relays incorporate a hand reset operation indicator flag.

3 Electrical Reset 3 Time delay
4 Hand and Electrical Reset 4 Time delay economy

1.1 High Burden, 7PG182 (TR2) series


A High Burden TR relay is normally utilised for tripping applications with single pole switched trip initiations. A
High Burden TR relay must comply with the requirements specified in Table 1-2 Relay Burden Features.

Type 7PG152 (TR2) have a high burden, this ensures immunity to capacitance discharge currents. The
capacitance discharge currents can arise on substation battery circuits if an earth fault occurs on the battery
wiring. They are also suitable for certain applications where they are remote from the initiation signal.

A high burden also permits reliable operation of current operated series repeat relays. After operation of the relay
the high burden is automatically either switched out or reduced to a low economy level. This switch out can be
either instantaneous or time delayed. (This is displayed in Table 1-3 Relay Features.)

Table 1-2 Relay Burden Features


Rating Class High Burden Low Burden
Power Consumption < 150W and within 30 ms after operation <20W < 100W
Minimum Operating Current > 50mA >25mA
Minimum Operating Current for 48V & 30V 20mA 10mA

1.2 Contact Reset


1.2.1 Self Reset

The output contacts of self reset relays are held in the operate position whilst the relay operate coil is energised.

1.2.2 Hand Reset


The contacts of hand reset relays are held in the operated position by a mechanical latch which is released by the
cover mounted reset.

1.2.3 Electrical Reset


The contacts of electrically reset relays are held in the operated position by a mechanical latch which is released
by energising the reset coil.

1.2.4 Hand and Electrical Reset


Hand and electrical reset models can have the main contacts reset either by hand as explained in 1.4.2 or
electrically as explained in 1.4.3.

1.3 Flag Reset


1.3.1 Hand Reset
When the relay operate coil is energised, the flag indicator is displayed. The indicator remains visible until it is
reset by a mechanical lever operated by hand from the front cover of the relay.

1.4 Operate Coil Cut Off


1.4.1 Economy

After initial operation the burden of the relay automatically reduced to a low economy level.

1.4.2 Instantaneous

After initial operation the burden of the relay automatically switches out. An internal heavy duty contact is
arranged to open circuit the operate coil when operated.

1.4.3 Time Delay Cut Off


Where instantaneous cut-off relays are utilised a normally closed contact opens the operating coil circuit and so
the burden is reduced to zero instantaneously. A time delay circuit has been introduced on various 7PG18
variants for occasions where another series operating element requires a longer operating time.

5 Maintenance

5.1 Safety
The commissioning and future maintenance of this equipment should only be carried out by skilled personnel
trained in protective relay operation and capable of observing all the necessary safety precautions and regulations
appropriate to this equipment and also the associated primary plant.

Equipment should be isolated from auxiliary supplies and the circuit breaker trip circuit prior to commencing any
work on an installed product.

5.2 Preliminary Tests


Check that the relay operating voltage (and reset voltage if a reset coil is fitted) are correct for the auxiliary
voltage to be used. In some instances relays are to be used with the coil in a series with a voltage dropper
resistor, this is advised on the Order Acknowledgement and shown on the relay label as “+Ext R”, suitable
resistors are supplied with the relay, ensure that such resistors are mounted vertical, and secure and wired to the
correct relay coil.

Isolate from the auxiliary supply(s) by removing fuses and links as necessary.

Physically check the wiring to the relay terminals for security and prove that it is wired correctly to the circuit
schematic wiring diagrams.

5.3 Mechanical Settings


It should not be necessary to adjust settings during routine tests unless parts have been replaced or other repairs
carried out. Adjustment of one setting will often influence another, therefore all settings must be checked after the
final adjustment.

5.4 Contacts
Contact tips are fine silver on copper and should only be burnished if any pitting has occurred.
Contact pressures are set by gentle pressure with contact setting pliers near to the contact stack
assembly, during this operation avoid putting any stress on the contact actuating comb. Contact
pressures should be measured using an accurate gram gauge at the tip of the contact leaf.

6 Applications

See the applications section of the TR chapter.

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

1 Introduction
This manual is applicable to the following relays:
(VR115)
(VR116)
(VR121)
(VR122)
(VR123)

Type VR relays use the same electro-mechanical assemblies as type AR relays but with the settings required for
specific under/over voltage applications. Type VR relays have a consistent, positive action, a long service life and
complies with BS 142. VR relays provide instantaneous under and over voltage detection for A.C. and D.C.
operation. They are suitable for under and over voltage protection in conjunction with protection systems or other
plant. They provide reliable operation and cover a wide range of settings.

1.1 Voltage Rating


1.1.1 Nominal voltage Vn
Vn is the voltage at which the operate coil in the relay is rated at.

A.C. Ranges 50Hz or 60Hz D.C. Ranges


63.5V to 69.2V 24V to 27V

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

1.1.3 Setting Voltage Vs


The VR 123 is a variable setting relays, it has a plug bridge permitting selection drop-off voltage in 7 steps
between 30% of Vn and 60% of Vn.
Fixed setting relays have a factory-set operating voltage within the stated range. Vs is a percentage of Vn. For
under voltage relays Vs will be a smaller value than Vn.

Table 1-1 Model range and characteristics

Model User Available Setting Vs % Steps Burden at Vn Resetting Vs% Pick-up


contacts (Vn) No Value (W or VA) (Vn) drop-off ratio
VR115 E2 Case 2 120% - 150% 0 Fixed 0.8 - 4.8 < 50% <50%
VR116 E4 Case 6 120% -150% 0 Fixed 0.1 - 0.7 108% - 135% 90%

VR121 E2 Case 2 30% - 63% 0 Fixed 1.3 - 3.7 85% - 90% 33% - 74%
VR122 E4 Case 6 62% - 81% 0 Fixed 0.26 - 0.7 68.8% - 90% 90%
VR123 E4 Case 2 or 4 30% - 60% 7 5% 4-6 85% - 90% 33% - 74%

1.1.4 Relay Numbering

These relays are identified by the product designation “VR” and three numbers which define important relay
features as follows:
Note: The VR range of relays are not included in the MLFB ordering code.

First digit Number of identical elements.


Second digit Duty: 1= over voltage, 2= under voltage.
Third digit Identifies specific models.

1.2 Contact Reset: Self Reset


The VR range of relays all contain self reset contacts. Once the applied voltage rises above or falls below Vs
(depending on over voltage relay or under voltage relay) the contacts change to there operate position. When the
relay is reset (due to Vs becoming a certain percentage of Vn) the contacts return to there de-energised position.

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

2 Description of Operation

2.1 VR 115
This VR Relay is specified with 2 user available contacts. The Relay can be powered from either an AC or DC
supply (Vn). The range of Vn values available is listed in 1.1.1.
The VR 115 is an over voltage relay. RL1 is normally de-energised. When the voltage between pins 27 and 28
rises to 120% - 150% of Vn the coil is energised, the relay operates and the contacts change state. The contacts
are held in this position until the voltage between pins 27 and 28 drops below 50% of Vn at which point they
return to there normally de-energised state. An Applications diagram and explanation can be found in Applications
6.12.
There is a hand reset flag indicator on the front of the relay. It indicates upon energisation of RL1.

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

2.2 VR 116
This VR Relay is specified with 6 user available contacts. The Relay can be powered from either an AC or DC
supply (Vn). The relay also requires an auxiliary supply (Vx) to drive the majority of the output contacts. The range
of Vn values available is listed in 1.1.1. The range of Vx values available is listed in 1.1.2.
The VR 116 is an over voltage relay. RL1 and RL2 are normally de-energised. When the voltage between pins 27
and 28 rises to 120% - 150% of Vn, RL1 operates and contact paring 10-12 and RL1A make. When RL1A makes
this switches in the auxiliary voltage which operates RL2 making the rest of the user available contacts change
state. Operation of RL2 causes RL2A to open thus switching in RT1 and reducing the burden on RL1. The
contacts are held in the operate position until the voltage between pins 27 and 28 drops to 108% - 135% of Vn. At
which point RL1A and contact paring 10-12 open, this causes the 5 user available contacts that are operated by
RL2 to return to there normally de-energised state. An Applications diagram and explanation can be found in
Applications 6.14.
There is a hand reset flag indicator on the front of the relay. It indicates upon energisation of RL2.

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

2.3 VR 121

This VR Relay is specified with 2 user available contacts. The Relay can be powered from either an AC or DC
supply (Vn). The range of Vn values available is listed in 1.1.1.
The VR 121 is an under voltage relay. RL1 is a normally energised. When the voltage between pins 27 and 28
falls to 30% - 63% of Vn, RL1 is de-energised and contact parings 1-3 and 2-4 change state. These contacts
remain in this position until the voltage between pins 27 and 28 rises to 85% - 90% of Vn. At which point RL1 is
energised again and the contact parings 1-3 and 2-4 return to there normal state. An Applications diagram and
explanation can be found in Applications 6.11.
There is a hand reset flag indicator on the front of the relay. It indicates upon de-energisation of RL1.

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

2.4 VR 122

This VR Relay is specified with 6 user available contacts. The Relay can be powered from either an AC or DC
supply (Vn). The relay also requires an auxiliary supply (Vx) to drive the majority of the output contacts. The range
of Vn values available is listed in 1.1.1. The range of Vx values available is listed in 1.1.2.
The VR 122 is an under voltage relay. RL1 and RL2 are normally energised. When the voltage between pins 27
and 28 falls to 62% - 81% of Vn, RL1 is de-energised and contact paring 10-12 and RL1A break. This removes Vx
from RL2 (thus de-energising RL2) causing the contacts to change state and RL2A to make. When RL2A makes
this switches out RT1 and increases the burden on RL1. When the voltage between pins 27 and 28 rises to
68.8% - 90% of Vn the relay resets, RL1 becomes energised causing the user available contacts to return to there
normal state and RT1 is switched in to reduce the burden on RL1. An Applications diagram and explanation can
be found in Applications 6.13.
There is a hand reset flag indicator on the front of the relay. It indicates upon de-energisation of RL2.

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

2.5 VR 123

This VR Relay is specified with either 2 or 4 user available contacts. The Relay can be powered from either an AC
or DC supply (Vn). The range of Vn values available is listed in 1.1.1.
The VR 123 is an under voltage relay. RL1 is normally energised. The Vs value can be determined using a plug
bridge. There are 7 steps between 30% of Vn and 60% of Vn.
When the voltage between pins 27 and 28 falls to the Vs level, RL1 is de-energised and user available contacts
change state. When the voltage between pins 27 and 28 rises to 68.8% - 90% of Vn the relay rests, RL1 becomes
energised causing the user available contacts to return to there normal state. An Applications diagram and
explanation can be found in Applications 6.11.

There is a hand reset flag indicator on the front of the relay. It indicates upon de-energisation of RL1.

4 Installation

4.1 Unpacking, Storage and Handling

On receipt remove the relay from the container in which it was received and inspect it for obvious damage. It is
recommended that the relay not be removed from its case.
If damage has been sustained a claim should be immediately be made against the carrier, also inform Siemens
Protection Devices Limited, and the nearest Siemens agent.
When not required for immediate use, the relay should be returned to its original carton and stored in a clean, dry
place.
The relay contains static sensitive devices, which are susceptible to damage due to static discharge. The relay’s
electronic circuits are protected from damage by static discharge when the relay is housed in its case.
There can be no requirement to disassemble any relay, since there are no user serviceable parts in the relay. If
any modules have been tampered with, then the guarantee will be invalidated. Siemens Protection Devices
Limited reserves the right to charge for any subsequent repairs.

4.2 Wiring
The product should be wired according to the scheme requirements, with reference to the appropriate wiring
diagram.

4.3 Front Cover


The front cover provides additional securing of the relay element within the case. The relay cover should be in

5 Maintenance

5.1 Safety
The commissioning and future maintenance of this equipment should only be carried out by skilled personnel
trained in protective relay operation and capable of observing all the necessary safety precautions and regulations
appropriate to this equipment and also the associated primary plant.

Equipment should be isolated from auxiliary supplies and the circuit breaker trip circuit prior to commencing any
work on an installed product.

5.2 Preliminary Tests


Check that the relay operating voltage (and reset voltage if a reset coil is fitted) are correct for the auxiliary
voltage to be used. In some instances relays are to be used with the coil in a series with a voltage dropper
resistor, this is advised on the Order Acknowledgement and shown on the relay label as “+Ext R”, suitable
resistors are supplied with the relay, ensure that such resistors are mounted vertical, and secure and wired to the
correct relay coil.

Isolate from the auxiliary supply(s) by removing fuses and line as necessary.

Physically check the wiring to the relay terminals for security and prove that it is wired correctly to the circuit
schematic wiring diagrams.

5.3 Mechanical Settings


It should not be necessary to adjust settings during routine tests unless parts have been replaced or other repairs
carried out. Adjustment of one setting will often influence another, therefore all settings must be checked after the
final adjustment.

5.4 Contacts
Contact tips are fine silver on copper and should only be burnished if any pitting has occurred. Contact pressures
are set by gentle pressure with contact setting pliers near to the contact stack assembly, during this operation
avoid putting any stress on the contact actuating comb. Contact pressures should be measured using an
accurate gram gauge at the tip of the contact leaf.

6 Applications

6.1 VR 121/123 Nominal Supply under Voltage Relay

Figure 6-1 Applications Diagram: VR 121/3

The VR 121/3 are normally energised Relays, Figure 6-1 shows the VR 121/3 in a under voltage scheme. This
scheme shows the relays and there associated contacts in there de-energised states.
If the supply voltage between pins 27 and 28 falls to 30% - 63% of Vn (VR121) / 30% - 60% Vn (VR123), RL1
operates (de-energises) and the output contacts change state. These contacts remain in this position until the
voltage between pins 27 and 28 rises to 85% - 90% Vn (VR 121) / 68.8% - 90% Vn (VR 123). At which point RL1
is energised again and the output contacts return to there normal state.
The VR 123 is available with 2 or 4 user available contacts, contacts parings 5-7 and 6-8 are shown in a dotted
line to represent this.
The value at which the VR123 operates (30%-60% of Vn) is termed the voltage setting Vs and can be determined
using a plug bridge.

6.2 VR 115 Nominal Supply over voltage Relay

Figure 6-2 Applications Diagram: VR 115

The VR 115 is a normally de-energised Relay, Figure 6-2 shows the VR 115 in a over voltage scheme. This
scheme shows the relay and its associated contacts in there de-energised state.
If the supply voltage between pins 27 and 28 rises to 120% - 150% of Vn the coil is energised, the relay operates
and the contacts change state. The contacts are held in this position until the voltage between pins 27 and 28
drops below 50% of Vn at which point they are returned to there normally de-energised state.

VR – Over and Under Voltage Relays

6.3 VR 122 Dual Supply under Voltage Relay

Figure 6-3 Applications Diagram: VR 122

The VR 122 is a under voltage Relay, Figure 6-3 shows an applications diagram of the VR 122 in a under
voltage scheme with an auxiliary supply used to power the output contacts. RL1 and RL2 are normally energised.
This scheme shows RL1 and RL2 and there associated contacts in there de-energised state.
If the voltage between pins 27 and 28 falls to 62% - 81% of Vn, RL1 is de-energised (operates) and contact
paring 10-12 and RL1 A break. When RL1 A breaks, RL2 de-energises (operates) causing the contacts
associated with RL2 to change state. When the voltage between pins 27 and 28 rises to 68.8% - 90% of Vn, RL1
resets, causing RL1A to make which causes RL2 and the associated contacts to reset.

6.4 VR 116 Dual Supply over Voltage Relay

Figure 6-4 Applications Diagram: VR 116

The VR 116 is a over voltage Relay, Figure 6-4 shows an applications diagram of the VR 116 in a over voltage
scheme with an auxiliary supply used to power the output contacts. RL1 and RL2 are normally de-energised. This
scheme shows RL1 and RL2 and there associated contacts in there de-energised state.
If the voltage between pins 27 and 28 rises to 120% - 150% of Vn, RL1 operates and contact paring 10-12 and
RL1 A make. When RL1-A Makes, RL2 energises (operates) causing the contacts associated with RL2 to change
state. When the voltage between pins 27 and 28 falls to 108% - 135% of Vn, RL1 resets, causing RL1 A to break
causing RL2 and its associated contacts to reset.

1 Introduction
This manual is applicable to the following relays:
7PG1731-0 (XR105)
7PG1731-1 (XR106)
7PG1751-* (XR151)
7PG1741-3 (XR152)

7PG1763-0 (XR309)

Type XR relays are developments for specific applications from AR relay range. They are electro-mechanical
relays with a consistent positive action, a long service life and comply with BS142.
The XR range is used as Interposing, Supervision or Special Purpose Relays.

1.1 Relay Description


1.1.1 Interposing Relay
XR105
XR106
XR205
XR206
Types XR105, XR106, XR205 and XR206 are intended for the remote control of switchgear and associated
equipment over pilot wires with a maximum resistance of 200 ohms. These relays are designed so that they are
not susceptible to certain A.C. voltage levels which may be induced on to the pilot wires.

1.1.2 Trip Relay Supervision Relay


XR151
XR250
XR251
XR350
XR351
Trip relay supervision relays have a low operating current, specific settings and time delayed drop-off. This latter
feature is to keep the relay in the operated condition during temporary reductions in the battery voltage, such as
those which occur just prior to a fuse blowing or during a busbar fault when many trip relays operate
simultaneously.

XR – Interposing, Supervision and Special Purpose Relays

1.1.3 Supply Supervision Relay


XR152
XR153
Types XR152 and XR153 relays are designed to comply with CEGB and other specification for protection
supervision requirements and the monitoring of D.C. voltage supplies. These applications require relays with a
low operating current, visual indication and the ability to initiate a remote alarm.

1.1.4 Special Purpose Relay


XR309
This relay provides ferro-resonance detection as required by NGTS 3.15.2. Three attracted armature elements
are connected phase-to-phase via full bridge rectifiers. Under normal healthy conditions, with the system
energised or de-energised, all the relay elements will be in unison and either operated or reset. No output is
given.
On supergrid systems the phenomenon of ferro-resonance may be experienced following the de-energisation of a
directly connected transformer, and the ferro-resonance may be sustained by the induction from an energised
parallel circuit. Re-energising the transformer whilst in a ferro-resonant state can risk severe switching
overvoltages, therefore where there is a risk, a ferro-resonance detector relay is essential.

XR – Interposing, Supervision and Special Purpose Relays

1.4 Heavy Duty Contacts

Heavy duty output contacts are available with some of the XR relays (see Description of Operation for specific
relays that have a heavy duty output contact option). The contacts become polarity conscious due to the addition
of the blow out magnet which is fitted to aid arc extinction. The Heavy Duty contacts have a larger break duty
compared to standard duty contacts. The make and carry of a heavy duty contact is the same as the standard
duty contacts.

XR – Interposing, Supervision and Special Purpose Relays

2.3 7PG1751-* XR 151

This XR Relay is specified with 4 user available contacts. The Relay is powered from a rated voltage 125V DC
supply.
The XR151 is designed to allow the supervision of a trip relay operating coil. RL1 is normally energised. When the
supply voltage reduces to the drop-off value (not less than 26% of Vn) the output contacts change state. The
contacts are held in this position until the supply voltage increases to the pick up value (70% of Vn). The two –ve
terminals (14 and 16) are required for applications of trip relay supervision. An example of this can be found in
Applications 6.1.
There is a flag indicator on the front of the relay, it can be specified as either a hand reset or a self reset. The flag
indicates upon de-energisation of RL1.

XR – Interposing, Supervision and Special Purpose Relays

2.12 7PG1763-0BA00-4CA0 (XR 309)

This XR Relay provides ferro-resonance detection. The relay has a voltage rating of 110V A.C. Figure 2-16
shows the relay in its de-energised state. Pins 23, 25 and 27 are used as inputs from the secondary winding of a
3 phase transformer. When the 3 phase system is balanced RL1, RL2 and RL3 are all energised. On system de-
energisation, the secondary voltage falls below the reset level and all 3 elements drop-off. In this situation there is
no output at pin 3.
In the event of ferro-resonance occurring two out of three elements will remain energised, this produces an output
at pin3. This output can be used to initiate either an alarm timer or an external suppression circuit.
If ferro-resonance is induced onto a de-energised system the relay will only respond if the amplitude of ferro-
resonance is above the relay element pick up level 40V A.C.

4 Installation

4.1 Unpacking, Storage and Handling

On receipt remove the relay from the container in which it was received and inspect it for obvious damage. It is
recommended that the relay not be removed from its case.
If damage has been sustained a claim should be immediately be made against the carrier, also inform Siemens
Protection Devices Limited, and the nearest Siemens agent.
When not required for immediate use, the relay should be returned to its original carton and stored in a clean, dry
place.
The relay contains static sensitive devices, which are susceptible to damage due to static discharge. The relay’s
electronic circuits are protected from damage by static discharge when the relay is housed in its case.
There can be no requirement to disassemble any relay, since there are no user serviceable parts in the relay. If
any modules have been tampered with, then the guarantee will be invalidated. Siemens Protection Devices
Limited reserves the right to charge for any subsequent repairs.

4.2 Wiring
The product should be wired according to the scheme requirements, with reference to the appropriate wiring
diagram.

5 Maintenance

5.1 Safety
The commissioning and future maintenance of this equipment should only be carried out by skilled personnel
trained in protective relay operation and capable of observing all the necessary safety precautions and regulations
appropriate to this equipment and also the associated primary plant.

Equipment should be isolated from auxiliary supplies and the circuit breaker trip circuit prior to commencing any
work on an installed product.

5.2 Preliminary Tests


Check that the relay operating voltage (and reset voltage if a reset coil is fitted) are correct for the auxiliary
voltage to be used. In some instances relays are to be used with the coil in a series with a voltage dropper
resistor, this is advised on the Order Acknowledgement and shown on the relay label as “+Ext R”, suitable
resistors are supplied with the relay, ensure that such resistors are mounted vertical, and secure and wired to the
correct relay coil.

Isolate from the auxiliary supply(s) by removing fuses and line as necessary.

Physically check the wiring to the relay terminals for security and prove that it is wired correctly to the circuit
schematic wiring diagrams.

5.3 Mechanical Settings


It should not be necessary to adjust settings during routine tests unless parts have been replaced or other repairs
carried out. Adjustment of one setting will often influence another, therefore all settings must be checked after the
final adjustment.

5.4 Contacts
Contact tips are fine silver on copper and should only be burnished if any pitting has occurred. Contact pressures
are set by gentle pressure with contact setting pliers near to the contact stack assembly, during this operation
avoid putting any stress on the contact actuating comb. Contact pressures should be measured using an
accurate gram gauge at the tip of the contact leaf.

6 Applications

6.1 XR 151 Trip Relay Supervision Relay

Figure 6-1 Applications Diagram: 7PG1751-* (XR 151)

The XR 151 is normally energised, Figure 6-1 shows the XR 151 in two trip relay supervision schemes. The top
diagram in Figure 6-1 incorporates a Hand/electrical reset trip relay. The bottom diagram in Figure 6-1
incorporates a self reset trip relay. These schemes show the relays and there associated contacts in an de-
energised state.
A small amount or current passes through the operate coil of RL1 maintaining the relays normally energised state.
This then flows through the operate coil of the tripping relay. R1 ensures that this current isn’t large enough to
operate the tripping Relay.
When the protection relay contact closes this causes the trip relay to operate thus switching in pin 16 on the XR
151 to the –ve of the trip D.C. supply. This process maintains the XR 151 in its normally energised state.
If the trip relay doesn’t trip (when the protection relay contact closes) or there is an open circuit on the Trip D.C.
supply the XR 151 will de-energise (operate) hence initiating the alarm.

The XR 152/3 is normally energised, Figure 6-2 shows the XR 152/3 in a D.C. supply supervision scheme. This
scheme shows the relay and its associated contacts in its de-energised state.
If there is an open circuit on the D.C. supply the XR 152/3 will de-energise (operate) hence initiating the alarm.

6.3 XR 250/1 Trip Relay Supervision Application

Figure 6-3 Applications Diagram: 7PG1752-* (XR 250/1) Trip Relay Supervision
Application

The XR 250/1 contains two normally energised elements. Figure 6-3 shows the XR 250/1 in two trip circuit
supervision schemes. The top diagram in Figure 6-3 incorporates a Hand/electrical reset trip relay. The bottom
diagram in Figure 6-3 incorporates a self reset trip relay. These schemes shows the relays and associated
contacts in there de-energised state.
A small amount or current passes through the operate coil of RL1 maintaining the elements normally energised
state. This then flows through the operate coil of the tripping relay. R1 and R2 ensure that this current isn’t large
enough to operate the tripping Relay. (Note R1 and R2 are the same value)

©2013 Siemens Protection Devices Limited Chapter 7 Page 33 of 36


XR – Interposing, Supervision and Special Purpose Relays

When either or both of the protection relay contacts close the trip relay is operated. This switches in a path from
the negative pin (22) of RL1 to the –ve of the trip DC supply thus maintaining the normally energised state of RL1.
If the trip relay doesn’t trip (when the protection relay contact closes) or there is an open circuit on the Trip D.C.
supply, RL1 will de-energise (operate) which will cause RL1 A to open. When RL1 A opens RL3 will de-energise
(operate). The operation of RL3 initiates the alarm. If there is an open circuit on the alarm D.C. supply, RL3 will
de-energise (operate) and initiate the alarm.

XR – Interposing, Supervision and Special Purpose Relays

6.4 XR 350/1 Trip Circuit Supervision Relay

Figure 6-4 Applications Diagram: 7PG1753-* (XR 350/1)

The XR 350/1 contains three normally energised elements. Figure 6-4 shows the XR 350/1 in a trip circuit
supervision scheme. This scheme shows the relays and there associated contacts in there de-energised state.
The Circuit breaker is shown as being open.
A small amount of current passes through the operate coil of RL1 and RL2 maintaining the elements normally
energised states. This then flows through the operate coil of the CB. R1 and R2 ensure that this current isn’t large
enough to operate the CB trip coil.
If there is an open circuit anywhere along the Trip DC supply both RL1 and RL2 will operate (de-energise) thus
opening contacts RL1 A and RL2 A which will cause RL3 to operate and trigger the alarm.
When either or both of the protection relay contacts close a large current flows in order to close the CB. (R2
protects the operate coil of RL2) The closing of the protection relay contact causes RL1 to be switched out of the
circuit which in turn causes RL1 A to open.
The circuit breaker will close for about 60ms, during this time the contacts associated with the circuit breaker will
change state and RL2 will de-energise. There is a delay on drop off provided by a slug to the three elements
within the XR 350/1. The total delay is 400ms. Providing the Circuit Breaker re-opens again within the 400ms
(typically reopens in 60ms) RL2 will energise again meaning that RL3 will not operate and the alarm contacts
won’t be operated.
If the Circuit Breaker doesn’t re-open (and the associated contacts don’t change state), RL2 will operate thus
opening RL2 A which will cause RL3 to operate (RL1 A will already be open due to the protection relay contacts
being closed) this completes the trip alarm circuit.
If there is a break in the Alarm DC supply RL3 will operate and the alarm circuit will be completed.

6.5 XR 309 Ferro Resonance Detector

Figure 6-5 Applications Diagram: 7PG1763-0BA00-4CA0 (XR 309)

The XR 309 contains three normally energised elements. Figure 6-5 shows the XR 309 ferro-resonance
detection scheme. This scheme shows the relays in there de-energised mode.
In the event of ferro-resonance occurring two out of three elements will remain energised, this produces an output
at pin3. A time delay relay is then used with a typical delay of 2 seconds. The time delay relay is used to initiate
either a ferro-reseonace alarm, a DAR (Delayed Auto Reclose) lockout or ferro-resonace suppression.
