Construction All-or-nothing protection relays shall be constructed in accordance with clause 10 of BS 142 : Section 2.2 : 1982. 12. Classification of tests 12.1 General. Tests are classified as follows. (a} Routine tests. Routine tests are made to check the conformity of production and are performed on all relays, (b) Type tests. Type tests are normally made once only by the manufacturer to prove the design and performance of the relay 12.2 Routine tests, All allor-nothing protection relays shall be subjected to routine testing in respect of the following {a) measurement of accuracy of specified time under reference conditions, as specified in clause § of BS 5992 : Part 2: 1980; (b} drop-out, as specified in 10.2.2 of 8S 5992 : Part 2 1980; (c} diolectrie tests, as specified in clause 6 of 1980. BS 5992 : Part 3 12.3 Type tests. All tests not listed in 12.2 are type tests (these include tests specified in other sections of this standard applicable to the relay under consideration), 12.4 Test certificates. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering, it shall suffice that the manufacturer produces test certificates as evidence that type tests have been mace in accordance with the appropriate Section of BS 142. The manufacturer shall hold available the type test results together with the appropriate drawinys and records of any relevant alteration that may have been made to the relay subsequent to the type test Compliance with this specification shall nat require production of certificates for routine tests, but where these are called for at the time of ordering, they shall consist oniy Of a statement that the relay complies with the relevant clauses of this standard, 13, Tests 1.1. General, The following tests from clause 10 of BS 6992 : Part 2: 1980 shall be carried out 10.2 energizing quantities: 10:3 dielectric tests: 10.4 surge voltage tests; 105 temperature rise of energizing circuits; 106 accuracy 10.7 mechanical durability; 10.8 contact performance; 10.9 rated burden (power); In addition, the test described in 13.2 of this standard shall be carried out on class $2 relays. 13.2 Vibration tests 18.2.1 Equipment 13.2.1.1 Mounting of relay. The relay shall be fastened to the vibration generator table by its normal means of ‘attachment. Care should be taken with the positioning of any additional straps or stays. Any connections to the ‘equipment shall be arranged so they impose no more restraint or mass than when the relay is installed in its ‘operational position. ‘The relay shall be mounted such that the gravitational force ‘acts on it in the same relative direction as it would in normal NOTE. Care shouldbe taken to ensure thatthe rlay unde tests “bration system, if these ate greater then the maximum reference level of 08 mT, 1.2.1.2 Vibration system. The charactoristies of the vibration generator and fixtures when loaded for the tests shall be such as to produce a basic motion of sinusoidal form, s0 that the fixing points of the relay under test move substantially in phase and in straight parallel ines Vibration amplitude and acceleration shall be measured at ‘ras neat as possible to, one of the normal fixing points on the relay under test. ‘The tolerances of the measurement of the vibration frequency for the determination of resonance shall be +05 Hz or + 1%, whichever is the greater, For other purposes, the tolerances shall be + 1 H2 up to 50 Hz and * 2% above 50 Hz. The tolerances of the vibration amplitude shall be those given in table 2. eo uvTable 2.

Ware the size of a olay renders it impractical to test it a 8 whole, it may be tested et functional ub-units as agreed batween ‘ranutacturer and purchaser 13.2.2.1 Prior to the test the accuracy of the relay shall be ‘measured under reference conditions 13.2.22 The vibration tests shall be carried out with the relay under reference conditions and with the following values of energizing quantities (auxiliary and input) applied to the appropriate circuits auxiliary energizing quantity (quantities): rated values; input energizing quantity (quantities): as specified in table 3 For static relays for sub-units of relays that contain no moving parts, the relay or subunit may be tested tunenergized, as agreed between manufacturer and purchaser. 132.2.3 The relay under test shall be vibrated along each ofits three major axes over the frequency range of 10 Hz to 300 He with accelerations as follows: (a) within the nominal frequency range of the input energizing quantities, or in ranges that are multiples or submultiples of this range, an acceleration not exceeding 0.59: (b) at any other freavency within the range 10 Hz to 300 Hz, an acceleration not exceeding 0.159, The actual vibration amplitude corresponding to this acceleration is determined from the following formula: Bon 24 PF oy where: pe is the peak value of pa is the amplitude of vibration: fis the frequency of vibration. Malfunetion of the output circuit(s) (contact or otherwise} shall be checked using a follower relay or device. The funct: ion of the follower device is to indicate if the relay under test has malfunctioned hy picking up (p.u.) oF dropping off BS 142 : Section 2.1: 1982 (d.o.). The preferred follower response times are: (a) 10 ms: (b) 0.3 ms. Ia 10 ms relay is used as a follower, any movement of its contacts should be taken to indicate malfunction. Flags or ‘other operational indicators shall not change their initial state during the vibration test. Table 3 shows the conditions of the follower device both during the test and for indication of output circuit operation, 13.2.2.4 During the test no unduly severe resonance or relay malfunetion shall occur within the nominal frequency range of the input energizing quantity (quantities) or in the ranges that are multiples or sub-multiples of this range. 13.2.25 If a malfunction occurs at any ather frequency within the 10 Hz to 300 H2 range, accoleration shall be decreased to zero and then increased to 0.189, at the frequency (frequencies) at which the malfunction occurred, No malfunction shall occur at 0.1894. The 0.159 acceleration level is subject to a maximum peak amplitude of 0.039 mm (0.0018 in) over the frequency range 30.9 Hz to 300 Hz, Below 30.9 Hz the maximum permissible acceleration level is as shown in figure 1 NOTE, Figure 1 is dorved by applying the formate sien 13.223. Rolay malfunction shall be detected as specified in 13.2.2.3, 13.2.2.6 At the conclusion of the test, the accuracy of the relay shall be measured under reference conditions and the result compared with that obtained before the test (see 13.2.2.1). The change in measured error shall not ‘exceed half the assigned error declared by the manufacturer NOTE. Relays clasitiod as $3 may be tested na similar manner 10 F that proveribed for elas 82, under eoneitions agreed by The ‘manufacturer and the purchter dependent upon the specific ‘peretionsl requirements.
