Type MVAA
Auxiliary Relays

The type MVAA is a low burden auxiliary relay which can be used where a scheme demands several contacts for event recording, alarm initiation, contact logic arrangements, etc. The relay can be supplied fitted with normal duty contacts and/or with heavy duty blow-out contacts. MVAA relays are voltage operated attracted armature units of compact design with a positive action and a high degree of mechanical stability. Voltage is applied to the relay coils via an internal diode bridge which enables relays to be energized from ac or dc power supplies. Typical applications are for general contact multiplication, interlocking, and customizing the protection scheme to suit the substation.

MODELS AVAILABLE
There are five versions of the MVAA relay, each with a different type of contact reset mechanism.

> MVAA 11
Single element relay with self reset contacts. Two element version is type MVAA 21. MVAA12 Single element relay with a combination of self and hand reset contacts. Two element version is type MVAA 22. MVAA 13 Single element relay with hand reset contacts. Two element version is type MVAA 23 MVAA 14 Single element relay with electrical reset contacts. MVAA 15 Single element relay with hand and electrical reset contacts. The contacts can be reset either electrically or by hand.

CONTACTS
Normal duty make, break and changeover contacts and heavy duty magnetic blow-out contacts are available in various combinations. See tables 1, 2 and 3. Heavy duty magnetic blow-out contacts are recommended for breaking heavy or highly inductive dc loads. When these are fitted, the number of contacts available may be reduced. See table 3.

OPERATING TIMES The operating times are typically 12-25ms depending on the number of contacts and relay type.

OPERATION INDICATORS
Each relay element is supplied with an optional hand reset operation indicator. The indicator consists of a mask which on operation drops to expose a broad red strip positioned diagonally on a rectangular white background.

FREQUENCY

WITHSTAND RATING The relay will withstand 120% of its maximum voltage rating continuously.

* Note. When the relays are required to cut-off their own supply voltage following operation, a special late acting contact must be used. This contact can be fitted on request and will be wired internally. The number of available output contacts shown in table 3 reduces by one when a cut-off contact is supplied.

BURDENS 3 W per element at all rated voltages.
