Midos Type MVTP

Busbar Supervision Relay

Features
l Integral buswire shorting facility
l Low ac burden
l No external resistors required
l Alarm contacts provided

Application
The MVTP relay is available in two
types:
l Type MVTP 11 - single phase relay.

l Type MVTP 31 - three phase relay.

Providing continuous supervision of the

buswires in high impedance type
busbar protection schemes, detecting
open-circuited buswires as well as
open-circuited main current
transformers. In phase and earth fault
busbar protection schemes the three
phase relay may be used, or
alternatively three single-phase units
may be preferred.
In earth-fault only busbar protection
schemes, the single-phase relay is
employed.
Description
MVTP relays have a setting range of
2-14V in 7 equal steps, adjusted by
means of a plug bridge on the relay
front panel. Relays are continuously
rated at 600V rms and no external
components are required.
The relays have a ventilated enclosure
fitted to the rear of each case to
provide extra thermal dissipation for
the auxiliary supply components.
Figure 1: Type MVTP relay withdrawn from case.
Operation
Isolation from the main CTs is
achieved by a relay transformer whose
primary winding is connected in series
with a high value resistor.
The secondary output signal of this
isolating transformer is fed into a
current to voltage converter, then
rectified for comparison with a pre-set
value.
The ac voltage input is continuously
monitored and when it exceeds the
level pre-set by means of the plug
setting, the output relay is actuated
after a three second delay. The hand
reset contacts of the output relay are
normally connected across the
buswires of the busbar protection thus
short-circuiting the busbar protection
relay and rendering the protection of
the zone concerned inoperative. On
the same output relay are hand reset
contacts for alarm purposes.
Operation of the relay is indicated by
a hand resettable mechanical flag.
