M.1748/B.XE 03/31I = FUNCTIONS OF THE STS 7041 RELAY the St$ 704! is a relay which checks the synchronism between two sources. Thus the relay is part of a chain of authorization designed to give the closing command to a breaker separating : - 2 independent sources, in order to couple the two together (coupling of 2 networks, of an alternator to a network, of 2 alternators together, etc...)(type A). — 2 parts of the same network in order to reciose them (type 8).

Remark : When the relay operates (all conditions for coupling satisfied) the 2 LEDs are lit, and the red one is extinguished. The auxiliary unit has no mechanical operation indicator, as it picks up whenever all the measured conditions are satisfied. IIT - COMMISSIONING OF THE STS 7041 RELAY Inportant recomendations All of our relays are delivered sealed, after calibration and final inspectic in our works. These seals should only be broken when they are being commissioned : duly qualified personnel. It is essential to check that the relay is correctly connected according to diagram 9848, particularly concerning the direction of the voltage transformers a the connections to the relay measuring inputs. An inversion of one of the inputs would cause the STS 7041 relay to give an authorization when the two voltages are phase opposition. The green LEDAfis lit in the angular zone where coupling is allowed and extinguished in the blocking zone. WE STRONGLY ADVISE CHECKING THE ANGULAR CORRESPONDENCE WITH OTHER EXTERNAL SYSTEMS, SUCH AS 2 SYNCAROSCOPE, LAMP OR VOLIMETER CONNECTED IN THE DIFFERENTIAL MODE, ETC cheeortant to check ~ that the voltage transfor identifying label, = that the auxiliary supply voltage is that which is indicated on the relay (operation is ensured within the range Un 20% to Un +1°%) and that the external resistor, if required (voltages above 125¥), is correctly connected, the relay has not been mechanically damaged, - that it is correctly plugged in, the fixing rods being screwed tight hone. ers have a nominal outgut corresponding to that on the WE STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST TESTING THE RELAY WITHOUT ITS BASE BY PLUGGING STANDARD COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PLUGS INTO THE FEMALE TERMINALS OF THE RELAY. EQUTDMENT. REQUIRED It is possible t test the relay provided that two variable single-phase sources of voltage are available. These two sources may be of the same frequency but variable phase-angle to check the levels of Sfand Ou. The two sources must be of different frequency for testson theAF level, witha frequency difference F which is variable. For these tests, the TRE/F test set may be used.

The red top SL must be lit (output unit not picked up). The green LED AU will also be lit as the input voltages are equal (both at zero). = Now appiy this nominal value of input voltage. The green LED AU will remain lit, and after a time-delay given below, the two other green LEDSAQ and $ will also light up, the red LED 8) will go out, and the output unit will pick up. Time-delay : approximately 8 sec if A® setting is 10°, 14 sec if AP setting is 20°, 26 sec if A setting is 40°. = Slowly reduce the input voltage voltage : the output unit will drop out (and the red zap 31 will light) at a value of approximately 80% un. - Connect each input circuit to a source ac voltage : one input should be set to and maintained at nominal voltage and frequency during the following tests ; the amplitude of the other will be varied, but must have the same phase-angle as the first. - vary slowly the amplitude of voltage on this second source. The green LED AW should light at a value of voltage approximately equal to Un -AU setting. Note : if the OU setting is less than 20%, the red LED $1 will go out and the output unit will pick up simultaneously with the green LED AU. ¢) Checking Ag level - The second voltage source must be capable of phase-shift compared to the first. ~ The amplitudes of both sources must be set of Un.-5- - It is advisable, for this test, to set OF at 0.16 in order to avoid inte: from the frequency difference eiement. - Apply tne intput voltages with a phase-angle between them which is above the Ap sectiag (for example 60°). The green LED AP should not be lit, and che red LED 3 should be 2it. = Slowly reduce the phase-angle d. reached the output relay green L£3s should be lit ference fference, and when the angular setting O 0 is ould pick up, the red LED $3 should go out, and all thres Note : when a continuously variable phase-angle source is not available, apply Guccessively voltages which have an angle above and below the Ad setting. To check in this manner, it is necessary to wait the 8, 14, or 26 sec mentioned in a), depending on the M@ setting. ed out when the mains source is extremely stable, and ‘requency generater which must also be extremely stable. a accurate to 1/100th Hz must also be available (it is also possible \chroscoxe, measuring .the rotation type, which will give a reasonable frequency: accuracy). - As a general rule the test should be carried out on AF setting = 0.16 Hz. - The two input voltages must be set at Un. The network frequency should be checked (F), then the variable frequency source set at Fe!
