09 - Intro To Control Circuit

1) Control circuits receive signals from sensing elements or manual inputs and provide DC or AC power to auxiliary components to trigger operations like breaker tripping or closing. 2) The health of control circuits is critical, especially during faults, as any issues could cause the entire electrical network to fail. 3) The document provides information on symbols, relay numbers, auxiliary switch contacts, cables, and terminal blocks to help trainees understand control circuits and quickly troubleshoot any faults.

INTRODUCTION TO CONTROL CIRCUITS

In Electrical network, control system is one of the main functions. Healthiness of control circuit should be
as good as nervous system of human body.

Control circuits receive signal (or) commands from various sensing elements (or) manually and extends
DC from the station battery in case of DC circuits and AC LT supply in case of AC circuits to the relevant
auxiliary parts so that trip (or) closing of breaker (or) relay takes place.

Healthiness of control circuits during imminent situation is more significant than normal condition.
Otherwise, fault in the portion of the network will lead entire network to fail. Fig.1. represents the general idea
about control circuit.

Purpose of this paper is to provide adequate knowledge for trainees about various symbol used, standard
AC number for various relays, No & NC contacts of auxilary switch and relay contacts, cable, terminal block
standard ferus and nos., so that fault in the control cricuit can be rectified immediately and so to minimise the
outage during break down.

AUXILARY CONTACTS CONTROL & ALARMS

It consists of 2 sets of contacts. Each set is Remote Close : KISR


of 8 (or) 10 nos. contacts; and connected to a lever.
Remote trip : KSR
to and fro (or) Rotary motion of the Breaker during
opening (or) closing makes the lever to move either Local close : KISL
upward (or) downward. Local trip : KSL
N.O. & N.C. CONTACTS:

When the Breaker is in OFF condition the Over current Relay trip K3
lever connected to the auxilary switch is in position
Earth fault relay trip K3
(A), as shown in fig 2(a). The set of contacts (2)
and (4) remain opened these contacts are called Differential Relay trip K3
as normally opened. Contacts and makes a S2(a). Master trip K9
The set of contacts 1 & 3 is called normally closed
contact and it is mentioned S2(b).
OSR / OLTC Trip 163T
It can also be explained as “The set of
contacts which are kept opened when the Breaker Bucholz trip 63T
is in “OFF” condition is called “N.O” contact and all

other contacts as NC contact.

N.O. & N.C. CONTACTS FOR RELAY:

The set of Relay contacts which are kept


opened when the relay is under unenergised Bucholz Alarm 63A
condition is normally opened contact. All other W.T. Alarm 49A
contacts are called normally closed contact.
