PSP Manual 5

This document provides instructions for an experiment to test the operation of a definite time overcurrent relay by varying its parameters. The objectives are to perform relay operation using a power protection kit and observe the relay behavior under overcurrent conditions in a three-phase system. The experiment uses equipment including a transformer, overcurrent relay, ammeter, and continuity tester. It explains the basic working principle of overcurrent relays and defines a definite time overcurrent relay as one with adjustable time and pick-up settings to issue a trip output after a set delay once pickup current is exceeded. The procedure instructs how to connect the circuit and test relay operation at different current and timer settings.

EXPERIMENT # 5
Perform Definite Time Overcurrent Relay operation on hardware by varying its parameter.

Objectives:
 Perform Definite Time Overcurrent Relay operation by using De Lorenzo power
system Protection kits.
 Execute Relay behaviour in three phase systems for Overcurrent conditions.
Introduction:
A relay is usually an electromechanical device that is actuated by an electrical current. The
current flowing in one circuit causes the opening or closing of another circuit. Relays are like
remote control switches and are used in many applications because of their relative
simplicity, long life, and proven high reliability. Relays are used in a wide variety of
applications throughout industry, such as in telephone exchanges, digital computers, and
automation systems. Highly sophisticated relays are utilized to protect electric power
systems against trouble and power blackouts as well as to regulate and control the
generation and distribution of power. In the home, relays are used in refrigerators, washing
machines and dishwashers, and heating and air-conditioning controls.
Although relays are generally associated with electrical circuitry, there are many other
types, such as pneumatic and hydraulic. Input may be electrical and output directly
mechanical. All relays contain a sensing unit, the electric coil, which is powered by AC or DC
current. When the applied current or voltage exceeds a threshold value, the coil activates
the armature, which operates either to close the open contacts or to open the closed
contacts. When a power is supplied to the coil, it generates a magnetic force that actuates
the switch mechanism.
Apparatus:
 1DL 1013T1 Experimentation Transformer
 1DL 2108T14 Definite time Overcurrent Relay
 1 DL 2109T2A5 Moving iron Ammeter
 1 DL Buz Acoustic continuity tester

Overcurrent Relay:

In an over current relay, there would be essentially a current coil. When normal current
flows through this coil, the magnetic effect generated by the coil is not sufficient to move
the moving element of the relay, as in this condition the restraining force is greater than
deflecting force. But when the current through the coil increased, the magnetic effect
increases, and after certain level of current, the deflecting force generated by the magnetic
effect of the coil, crosses the restraining force, as a result, the moving element starts moving

to change the contact position in the relay. Although there are different types of over
current relays but basic working principle of over current relay is more or less same for all.

Definite Time Overcurrent Relay

This relay is created by applying intentional time delay after crossing pick up value of the
current. A definite time over current relay can be adjusted to issue a trip output at definite
amount of time after it picks up. Thus, it has a time setting adjustment and pick up
adjustment.

 Set three phase power supply voltage 380v and relay is not in operation.
 Starting from 0V slowly increase the value of three phase supply voltage until the
overcurrent relay operates.
 Then slowly decrease the voltage until the relay release.
 Set the current set point A = 2A for the relays on the phases L2 and L3 and repeat the
above procedure to verify it.
 Apply same procedure for different timer conditions.
