1. Introduction 3.1 Operation

Areva offers a wide range of CT powered relays which DPX-1 is a high tech and cost optimised protection relay
provide over current, short circuit, instantaneous phase for MV switchboards. Specifically in compact switchboards,
and earth fault functions. DPX is a compact relay specifically the DPX-1 can replace the combination of load break switch.
designed for compact MV switchboards with circuit
breakers. DPX-1 uses CTs with secondary rated for 1A. DPX-1 is provided with four analogue measuring inputs
[Phase current CTs and CBCT]. Setting of parameters is

The analog input signal of the conductor currents are fed
The DPX-1 is a CT-powered protection relay with inverse to the protective device via separate input transformers at
time and definite time protection characteristics. terminal numbers 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 respectively.
The continuously measured current values are galvanically
DPX-1 provides following protection functions: isolated, analog filtered and finally fed to the analog/digital
converter.

4.2.2 Flag indicator output

An output similar to above but with less energy is provided

for operating a magnetic flag.

TRIP Energy = 0.02Ws@24V DC

4.3 LED

A bicolor LED indication is provided in the front panel of

the relay DPX-1. The two colors are green and red. Green
flashing indicates the healthy state of relay. Applying of Ext
DC supply or applying of current grater than 0.495A starts
the green flashing this green flashing incorporates the
watchdog feature of relay as a check of its internal processor
healthiness. Red flashing indicates the Phase/ earth fault
pickup and steady red indicates trip on phase / earth fault.

5. Fault value memory

A fault value memory with real time clock stamp is

integrated in the relay DPX-1, where data of the last fault Figure: DR1
occurrence is stored. The stored information can be read
out via the Data Retrieval Device DR1 or through PC
interface on MODBUS. The following fault information is
available. DPX1 supports External MODBUS communication on RS485
with following settings.
· The protective element causing the trip or an
externally triggered trip. Baud rate : 9600 baud
Parity : Even
· Values of the trip current in the individual phases Stop Bit : 1 bit
and earth fault current. Data Bit : 8 bit data
Remote Address : 1-32(settable through
· Time and date stamp of the trip PC with default factory
setting of 2 )
6. Communication
All parameters of DPX-1 relay can be accessed through
DPX-1 serially communicates with data retrieval device type “MODBUS” using external RS485 to RS232 converter.
DR1/DR2. DR1 is an externally powered unit housed in a
DIN standard 96 x 96 mm flush mounting enclosure, while
DR-2 is a +9V battery powered unit housed in a DIN
standard 72x72mm. Both can be used for data /fault 6.1 Circuit Breaker Trip Counter
retrieval. DR-1 has additional four relays which can be
used for annunciation. DR1/2 is wired to DPX-1 on RS485 DPX-1 maintains a counter for running count of the number
