TRANSCRIPT
Never let your City in Dark
GENERAL
The Fault Passage Indicator has designed to meet demand
of Ring Main Unit (RMU) type switchgear where in each
distribution centre is accessible from both direction feeders.
The advantage is that if one side feeder fails, immediate
supply can be recovered by isolating fault link and joining
supply from other side. This restores supply very quickly.
OPERATION
The relay has specially developed for ground fault detection
based on principle of Core Balanced Current Transformer
(CBCT). Split Open type CT is provided which can be fixed
on existing three phase cable without disconnecting. It has
suitable mountings provided to clamp it permanently in
position. Normally 3 phase supply wires are taken through
the CT centre. The sheath (Earth/Neutral) wire is excluded.
It monitors fault current through CBCT. The moment fault
current is more then set value, relay operates. The relay
operation is indicated on LED. The relay resets when
manually the 'RESET' push button is pressed. The relay
continuously monitor unbalance current from three-phase
cable using CBCT mounted around the outer sheath of the
cable.
The relay is buffered by a lithium battery for feeding the LED
Indication. After tripping operation the relay maintains fault
by LED Indication. During this time, the relay uses power
through internal battery. The battery has a service life of
1000 blinking hours.
>Designed for Core Balanced Current Transformer connection.
>10A\50A selectable alarm value of Earth.
>Time Delay Instant.
>Internal Battery for maintaining LED indication.
