The TOV relays are over or undervoltage relays, single phase or three phase, instantaneous or fixed time adjustable from 0.1 to 25.5 s. The settings are adjusted using the switches located on the front side of the relay. The single phase type relays include a filter for the third harmonic. The three phase models do not include that filter. The TOV relays are modular solid state relays and are supplied to the customer in a 1/8 rack case, allowing it to be a part of a distribution system.

Some of the most common applications of the TOV when operating as an undervoltage relay are: 1. Instantaneous detection of undervoltage in automatic transfer equipment. 2. Fault detection for line protection equipment with a communication channel. If the line has three terminals, and one of them does not contribute to the fault. Some of the most common applications of the TOV when operating as an overvoltage relay are: 1. Time delay devices, in which operation security depends on the voltage. 2. Protection against overvoltage in a three phase system, with the possibility of being delayed from 100 ms up to 25.5 s. 3. Protection against a phase to ground fault in three phase systems with an insulated ground and in ground fault protection of AC rotating machines.

The input voltage transformers provide a secondary voltage adequate for the internal operation at low voltages as well as an electrical insulation with the internal electronic circuits. The measuring signals are rectified and are compared with the trip level setting in the level detectors. Once a fault is detected (overvoltage or undervoltage), the pickup indicator Vs lights up. When the fault has been detected, the trip can be instantaneous or time delayed. Selection of this option is performed by switches located on the front of the relay. If the fault situation remains once the set time has passed, the relay trips, and the trip indicator (TRIP) lights up. If the fault disappears, this indicator remains lighted until RESET button is pressed.
$!TvtyrQuhrWrvUPW$

The single phase versions, different from the three phase versions, may include a filter for the third harmonic in the stage prior to the rectifiers, as well as the possibility of selecting the operating mode as undervoltage or overvoltage. As in the three phase case, the rectifier output signal is compared to the trip level. Once the pickup has been produced, the operation is similar to the three phase model. Both versions, single phase and three phase, have a power supply supervision circuit. If the power supply reduces by 20% of the rated voltage, the relay automatically turns itself off to prevent incorrect operations.

The green indicator located on the top of the module (Vaux) indicates the relay power supply status. When the power supply is operating correctly the indicator stays on, whereas if the power supply is disabled the indicator light is turned off. The red LED below it (Vs) is the pickup indicator. This led remains lit as long as the relays detects a fault condition. The red indicator labeled TRIP is a trip indicator that remains lit after a trip and can be turned off by pressing the RESET button once the cause of the trip has disappeared. The microswitches on the front panel are divided into two groups, the upper group of microswitches is used to select the trip level while the lower group is used to select the timing.

The relays are calibrated before leaving the factory, therefore it is not necessary for the user to calibrate them. Changing between overvoltage and undervoltage in the single phase models is performed through the use of jumpers as shown in figure 8:

This relay is supplied to the customer in a special package, which adequately protects it during transportation, as long as this is performed under normal conditions. Immediately after receiving the relay, the customer should check whether it shows any signs of transportation damage. If injury or rough handling is evident, a damage claim should be filed at once with the Transportation Company and the nearest General Electric Sales Office should be notified promptly. When unpacking the relay, care should be taken not to lose the screws supplied in the box. If you do not intend to install the relay immediately, it is recommended that the relay is stored in its original package and kept in a dry, dust-free place. It is important to check that the data on the nameplate coincides with the data from the order.

Immediately after receiving the relay, the customer should perform a visual check and perform the acceptance tests in this chapter to ensure the relay has not suffered transportation damage and that the factory calibration has not been altered. These tests can be performed as installation or acceptance tests in accordance with user criteria. Given that the majority of users utilize different procedures for installation and acceptance tests, this section includes all of the necessary tests that may be performed with these relays.

All devices that are powered by alternating current are affected by the frequency. Because a non-sine wave is the result of a fundamental wave and a series of harmonics belonging to this fundamental wave, the devices that are powered by alternating current are affected by the form of wave applied. To correctly test relays that operate on alternating current it is necessary to use a voltage and/or a current sine wave. The purity of a sinusoidal wave (absence of harmonics) cannot be expressed specifically for any given relay. However, in any relay that includes tuned circuits, circuits R-L and R-C are affected by the non-sine waves as in the case of the TOV relay. These relays respond to the voltage waveform differently from the majority of alternating current voltmeters. If the AC source used for the test contains many harmonics the voltmeter and the relay readings will be different. The relays are calibrated in the factory using a network of 50 or 60 Hz containing a minimum amount of harmonics. When testing the relay, you should use an AC source whose waveform does not contain harmonics. The voltmeters and chronometers used to perform trip tests and operating time must be calibrated and their precision should be better than that of the relay. The network power used in the tests must remain stable, mainly in the levels near the pickup voltage.

20

GEK-98834B

It is important to stress that the precision used in the tests depends on the network power and the instruments used. Operating tests performed with inadequate power and instruments are useful to test that the relay operates correctly and that its characteristics are verified approximately. However, if the relay is calibrated under these conditions, its operating characteristics may be outside the tolerance levels.

Once the connections indicated in figure 10 are performed, (for a single phase relay connect the measuring voltage to terminals A2 and B2) connect the auxiliary power supply and set the relay for instantaneous trip. Depending on the relay model (single phase, three phase, undervoltage or overvoltage) connect the X and Y terminals to the corresponding phases in accordance with figure 10. Vary the alternating voltage and check that the relay trips in accordance with the values in table 1. In the same way, check that when the relay trips the TRIP indicator is lit and remains lit once the cause for fault disappears. Press the RESET button and check that the TRIP LED is turned off.

This setting is performed through the upper switch block which has the following inscription below it: Vs = 20 + ( ) To set the selected trip voltage move the corresponding switches to the right (ON position).

Given the primary role that protection relays have in any installation, it is recommended that a periodic test program is followed. Given that the intervals between these tests vary for different types of relays and installations as well as the experience of the user performing the tests, it is recommended that the points described in the section INSTALLATION are checked at intervals of 1 to 2 years.
