Types CDG 11 & 16

The type CDG11 relay is a heavily damped
induction disc unit with an inverse definite
minimum time/current characteristic. The relay
gives selective phase and earth fault overcurrent
protection in time graded systems to transformers,
a.c. machines and feeders, etc., and ensures that
a minimum number of circuit breakers are tripped
to clear a faulted section (see Application Sheet
MS/5087).
The operating coil is wound to give time/current
curves of the same shape on each of seven current
taps which are selected by a plug setting bridge.
The highest current tap is automatically selected
when the plug is removed, so that adjustments
can be made on load without open-circuiting the
current transformer.
The relay has a high torque movement to ensure
consistent timing even under adverse conditions,
and a low burden and overshoot. Adjustment of
the time setting is made by rotating a knurled
moulded disc against a graduated time multiplier
scale.
A high set overcurrent unit (type CAG) can be
fitted in the same case to provide instantaneous
protection under maximum short circuit conditions
(see Application Sheet MS/5087).
The type CDG21 relay is either a double pole
version (with two earth fault units or two over-
Type CDG 11 relay
current units) of the type CDG11, or a type
CDG11 with an instantaneous unit. Closing Current 115% of current setting

THERMAL RATING AUXILIARY UNITS AND

The relay will withstand twice the setting current
continuously and 20 times the maximum setting
current for three seconds.
ACCURACY
The relay is calibrated at 50 Hz and 20°C and
falls into error class index E7-5 as given in
B.S. 142:1966.
Frequency Error Less than 8% for frequency
variation of 2 cycles; the time grading of a pro-
tective system would be unaffected by this error
since all the relays would be similarly affected.
OPERATION INDICATORS
Shunt reinforcing or series seal in auxiliary
attracted armature units with a hand reset
operation indicator can be fitted. Relays supplied
without an auxiliary unit have a hand reset
operation indicator mechanically operated by the
disc.
Standard Coil Ratings Voltage operated
(shunt) auxiliary units: 30, 110, 125 or 220 volts
d.c. at a nominal burden of 3 watts continuously
rated.
