Why areElectro-mechanical Relays

Still in Use?

Electro mechanical contacts are the preferred output devicefor all major protection relay manufacturers for numerousreasons including:

SimpleReliableCompactLow costElectrical isolationHigh switching capacity for sizeC/O contacts available

Why are Additional RelaysExternal to the Protection Relay

Required?

Integrated protection & automation schemes retainsignificant demand for relay output contacts;

As more functions are incorporated into fewer numericprotection relays the number of relay outputs available isoften not sufficient;

To enable simple diagnosis of system faults through therelays non volatile flags;(Particularly at sites where SCADA is not installed)

Why are Additional RelaysExternal to the Protection Relay

Required?

The miniature relays in numeric protection relaysdo not offer the functionality requirede.g. mechanical lockout contacts, non volatile flags;

Internal low duty output relay contacts are not visible orreadily serviceable;

Failure of an output contact in a numeric protection relay willbe expensive to rectify & may require return to the factory.

What are the FunctionalRequirements for the External Relays?

Large number of contacts SELF RESET AND LATCHING

High switching capacity DC BREAK RATING

High level of isolation between coil and contacts

High visibility flag indicator SELF RESET AND LATCHING

Secure mechanical LOCKOUT FUNCTION

Time delay on drop off function SLUG TIME DELAY

High and low operating burden options

What are the Desirable AttributesFor the External Relays?

Modular Construction

Pre-Defined Relay Elements

The 6R MATRIX system was developed as a modular range of auxiliary relays to provide a complete solution for protection engineers.

The pre-defined function versions are intended to:

Simplify specification & ordering

Reduce cost due to model rationalization

Provide a cross reference to other manufacturers

Standardise the wiring

A significant safety feature is the fitting of internal resistors to limit the trip coil current to well below the circuit breaker trip coil operate current, should the relay be accidentally short circuited.
