CDD
Directional overcurrent and earth fault

CDD relays are intended for directional phase or earthfault protection of ring mains, parallel transformers, transformer feeders, parallel feeders etc., employing the time grading principle. It is a self-powered relay without any requirement of auxillary supply.

Features
High speed directional control. Sensitive directional discrimination down to 1% rated voltage. Identical time/current characteristics on all taps. High torque, ensuring consistent timing even under adverse conditions. Low overshoot. Simple construction, easily accessible. Comprehensive range of auxiliary and highset unit ratings. Dust tight drawout case and tropicalised finish. CDD 21 and CDD 31 relays are self powered. Hence no auxiliary supply is required.

The directional unit is a high speed, low inertia four pole induction cup movement designed to give a high, steady and non-vibrating torque. Its current coil is connected in series with the operating coil of the induction disc unit. The directional unit is normally provided with voltage polarising coil. However, the earth fault relay directional unit can be provided with a current polarising coil, if required. Types CDD 21, CDD 23 and CDD 24 are directional versions of types CDG 11, CDG 13 and CDG 14 (plain inverse, very inverse and extremely inverse time current) relays respectively. Types CDG 11, CDG 13 and CDG 14 relays are described in relevant publications. A highset instantaneous overcurrent unit can be fitted in the same case to provide instantaneous protection under maximum short circuit conditions and to improve discrimination on time gradedprotective systems. This highset unit can be directionalised if required. Types CDD 21, 23 and 24 are single pole relays. Types CDD 31, 33 and 34 have instantaneous highset units, in addition to the directional IDMT. In types CDD 41, 43 and 44, the highset units are also directionalised. Of the above relays, only CDD 21 and CDD 31 relays are self-powered.

Application
Directional phase or earth fault protection of ring mains, parallel transformers, feeders, parallel feeders etc., employing time grading principle.

Description
Type CDD relay comprises an induction disc overcurrent unit with wound shading coils and a directional high speed induction cup unit. The cup unit contact is wired across the shading coils so that no torque is exerted on the disc of the overcurrent unit until the cup unit contact closes. The induction disc unit is thus directionally controlled and it operates only when the current flows in the tripping direction. The IDMT relay has an auxiliary unit which is powered by a secondary winding on the electromagnet through a rectifier and as such, a separate auxiliary supply is notrequired. When the disc unit operates and closes its contact, the auxiliary element connected across the secondary winding on the electromagnet operates and one normally open contact of the auxiliary element reinforces the disc contact. Two other contacts of the auxiliary element are brought out to the terminals of the relay.(Refer figure 2)

Voltage polarising coil: 63.5 or 110 V ac, 50 Hz. Current polarising coil: 1A or 5A for earthfault relay. For current polarisation, a suitable current transformer is required in the neutral to earth connection of a power transformer. Maximum torque angle (Characteristic angle) Phase fault: 45 or 30 current leading. Quadrature connection normally used with current coil connected in one phase and voltage coil across other two phases. Earth fault: 14 current lagging for resistance earthed systems. 45 or 60 current lagging for solidly earthed systems. A 3 phase 5 limb VT with open delta tertiary or 3 single phase VTs with tertiary winding used for supply to polarising coil. MTA for current polarised relay is 0 as current in current coil and polarising coil are in phase. Operating time Less than 0.010 second for directional unit which is very small compared with overall operating time of CDD relay. Accuracy Error class index: E 7.5 as per BS 142 7.5 as per IS 3231 Frequency error Timing error less than 8% for 2 Hz frequency variations. Time grading unaffected by such small error, since all relays are similarly affected. Temperature error For 10 times setting current at ambient temperature between +45C and -5C, percentage timing errors are as follows: CDD 21 : 3 seconds relay, -3% and +4% CDD 21 : 1.3 seconds relay, -4% and +4% CDD 23 : +1% and -1% CDD 24 : -3% and +5%
