Anti Pumping Relay:

Anti pumping relaying is done primarily to indicate the spring failure of TNC
switch and a person need to attend the problem. The function of this relay is
to cut off the supply to52C (CB closing coil) in case of TNC switch spring
failure and prevent CB hunting effect (i.e. continuous closing, opening
operation).
Anti pumping is also called trip free mechanism of any circuit breaker.
Suppose the breaker has been instructed to close by manual instruction by
pressing the TNC (trip neutral close push button) switch. The operating
mechanism will start operating for closing operation.
Meanwhile a fault has taken place and relay closes the trip circuit of breaker.
The trip free mechanism/ Anti pumping feature permits the circuit breaker to
be tripped by protective relay even if it is under process of closing. Thus
auxiliary relay (or sometimes the inbuilt feature of circuit breaker) which
prevent alternate tripping and closing of the circuit breaker if closing push
button is held close during fault is called the trip free mechanism or anti
pumping mechanism.
Lockout Relay:
When a drive-to-lockout input is energized, the reclosing relay will go into
lockout from any point in the sequence. The relay will stay in lockout until the
input is removed and the breaker is closed manually or by supervisory control.
Upon removal, the recloser will go through its reset sequence and return to
ready state.
All the different trip signals from fault detection devices are wired to the
lockout relay, which is the master trip relay for the circuit breaker. It is usually
a manually reset relay with an indicating flag or lamp. In case of DG a similar
philosophy of tripping is used in the engine control panel in which all the

mechanical failure signals are received at the engine lockout relay (86-T, T for
turbine). This lockout relay also trips the generator circuit breaker.
When either the86-G or the86-T relay sends its signal to the circuit-breaker
trip coil, time is taken before the circuit breaker begins to move and finally
reach its fully open state. The generator switchgear is recommended to have
two separate lockout relays. One will receive all the electrical protection relay
trip signals, and denoted as861. The other will receive a master trip signal (or
several trip signals) from the turbine unit control panel, and denoted as862.
It operates whenever any of the protection relay operates and would prevent
any circuit breaker operation until the lock out relay is manually rest.
The anti-pumping relay is a device in circuit-breaker whose function is to
prevent multiple breaker closures. For instance, if the operator gives the
closing command to the breaker by pressing the close button and the breaker
closes.However, a fault in the system causes the breaker to trip. Since the
close command is still in the pressed condition, there is a chance of the
breaker closing again and being tripped by the relay multiple times. This can
damage the closing mechanism of the breaker.
