This Safety Section should be read before commencing any work on the
equipment.
Health and safety
The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to
ensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them
in a safe condition. It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the
equipment will be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section.
Explanation of symbols and labels
The meaning of symbols and labels which may be used on the equipment or in the
product documentation, is given below.
*Note:The term earth used throughout the product documentation is the direct
equivalent of the North American term ground.

Section 1. INSTALLATION
1.1 General
Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful
treatment prior to installation and a wise selection of site. By observing a few
simple rules the possibility of premature failure is eliminated and a high degree of
performance can be expected.
The safety section should be read before any work takes place and should be
referred to throughout. Special care should be taken to adhere to suitable electro-
static discharge precautions.
1.2 Receipt
The relays are either despatched individually or as part of a panel/rack mounted
assembly in cartons specifically designed to protect them from damage.
Relays should be examined immediately they are received to ensure that no
damage has been sustained in transit. If damage due to rough handling is evident,
a claim should be made to the transport company concerned immediately and
ALSTOM Protection & Control Ltd should be promptly notified. Relays which are
supplied unmounted and not intended for immediate installation should be returned
to their protective polythene bags.
1.3 Unpacking
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the relays so that none of the
parts are damaged or their settings altered and must only be handled by skilled
persons.
Relays should be examined for any wedges, clamps, or rubber bands necessary to
secure moving parts to prevent damage during transit and these should be
removed after installation and before commissioning.
Relays which have been removed from their cases should not be left in situations
where they are exposed to dust or damp. This particularly applies to installations
which are being carried out at the same time as construction work.
1.4 Storage
If relays are not installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in a place
free from dust and moisture in their original cartons and where de-humidifier bags
have been included in the packing they should be retained. The action of the
de-humidifier crystals will be impaired if the bag has been exposed to ambient
conditions and may be restored by gently heating the bag for about an hour, prior
to replacing it in the carton.
Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into
the relay; in damp conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated
with moisture and the de-humidifying agent will lose its efficiency.
The storage temperature range is –40°C to +70°C.
Page 11
1.5 Installation
The installation should be clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and excessive
vibration. The site should preferably be well illuminated to facilitate inspection.
An outline diagram is normally supplied showing panel cut-outs and hole centres.
For individually mounted relays these dimensions will also be found in publication
R6141.
Publication R7012, Parts Catalogue and Assembly Instructions, will be useful when
individual relays are to be assembled as a composite rack or panel mounted
assembly.
Publication R6001 is a leaflet on the modular integrated drawout system of
protective relays.
Publication R6014 is a list of recommended suppliers for the pre-insulated
connectors.

Note: At the point at which the relay cut-off occurs the current drawn by the relay
is either reduced to an economised level or is removed entirely (ie. zero
watt cut-off state).
Page 13
2.2.2 Carefully remove the rubber band securing the flag mechanism.
2.2.3 Check that the bottom end of the contact operating card has not been dislodged
from the slot in the armature extension.
2.2.4 Check that all push-on connections to the PCB are secure.
Check that all the push-on connections to the back of the contacts are secure.
Check that all the push-on connections to terminal block are secure.
2.2.5 Carefully actuate the armature of each unit in turn with a small screwdriver/probe.
On units fitted with hand reset flag indicators, check that the flag is free to fall
before, or just as, any make contacts close.
2.2.6 Check that the serial number in the cover and the relay case match that of the
module. Replace the module in the case and refit the cover. Make sure that the
reset mechanism in the cover is correctly located with respect to the relay element
and that the flag (or mechanism) can be reset.
Check that the armature(s) are in the reset position by pressing the appropriate
reset buttons.
2.3 Insulation tests
The relay and its associated wiring may be insulation tested between:
– all electrically isolated circuits
– all circuits and earth
An electronic or brushless insulation tester should be used giving a dc voltage not
exceeding 1000V. Accessible terminals of the same circuit should first be strapped
together. Deliberate circuit earthing links removed for the tests must subsequently
be replaced.
2.4 Operate/reset operation
Warning
Exposed terminals may present a hazardous voltage unless
equipment is electrically isolated.
2.4.1 Self, hand, electrical and hand/electrical reset
The operate circuit is terminated to case terminals 27(+), 28(-). The electrical reset
circuit is terminated to case terminals 25(+), 26(-). Disconnect external wiring from
these terminals to allow application of the test supply.
With the relay reset check the continuity of the closed contacts (shown as break
contacts on the drawing).
Check operation of operate circuit and the electrical reset circuit (if applicable) by
energising the relay with 60% of the lower nominal supply voltage.
The relays should switch cleanly with one movement.
Check the operating time of the relay at 100% lower nominal supply voltage and
check the continuity of the closed contacts (shown as make contacts on the
drawing).
Page 14
2.4.2 Self-reset 2.5s delayed reset
The operate circuit is terminated to case terminals 25(+), 27(+), 28(-). Disconnect
external wiring from these terminals to allow application of the test supply.
With the relay reset check the continuity of the closed contacts (shown as break
contacts on the drawing).
Check operation of operate circuit by energising the relay with 60% of the lower
nominal supply voltage.
The relays should switch cleanly with one movement.
Check the operating time of the relay at 100% lower nominal supply voltage and
check the continuity of the closed contacts (shown as make contacts on the
drawing).
Check the delayed reset time by energising the relay with full rated supply volts to
case terminations 25(+), 27(+), 28(-), then remove energisation from the case
termination 27(+). Time the closure of a normally closed contact from this point in
time. The reset time shall be between 2 - 2.8s.
2.5 Restoration of wiring
Restore any external wiring connections that may have been disturbed during the
above tests.
2.6 Problem analysis
Repeat Section 2.2 with particular attention to the connection of external links.
If the relay is found to be faulty it should be returned to ALSTOM Protection &
Control Ltd for repair and recalibration. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Section 3. MAINTENANCE
4.1 General
Contacts are set at the factory and should not require adjustment.
If contacts show signs of contamination during maintenance it may be necessary to
clean contacts and check settings.
Contacts must be checked by qualified personnel only to
ensure that settings are not disturbed.
The safety section should be read before attempting any adjustments.
Page 15
4.2 Cleaning contacts
Contacts should be cleaned with the burnishing tool, supplied in relay tool kits.
On no account should cleaning fluids, knives, files or abrasive materials be used.
4.3 Contact settings
Armature gap measurements should be made with the top of the feeler gauge level
with the centre line of the core.
Contact pressures are measured with a gramme gauge at the contact tips.
In general contact gaps and follow through are defined by quoting an armature
gap at which the tips should be just closed or just open. Follow through should be
measured at the centre of the armature. Some mechanically operated contact gaps
must be measured directly with feeler gauges at the contact tips.
The relay contact state is always defined with the relay in the reset position unless
otherwise specified on the appropriate circuit diagram.
