Construction:
Operation:
The driving torque on the aluminum disc is set up due to the
induction principle.
This torque is opposed by the restraining torque provided by the
spring.
Under normal operating conditions, restraining torque is greater
than the driving torque produced by the relay coil current.
Therefore the disc remains stationary.
If the current in the protected circuit exceeds the pre-set value, the
driving torque becomes greater than the restraining torque.
Consequently, the disc rotates & the moving contact bridges the
fixed contacts when the disc has rotated through a pre-set angle.
The trip circuit operates the circuit breaker which isolates the faulty
section.

Constructional Details:
It consists of an aluminum disc, which is free to rotate in
between the poles of two electromagnet.
The upper electromagnet carries a winding called potential
coil on the central limb, which is connected through a
potential transformer (PT) to the circuit voltage source.
The lower electromagnet has a separate winding called
current coil connected to the secondary of CT. in the line to
be protected.
The current coil is provided with a number of tapings
connected to the plug setting bridge. This permits to have
any desired current setting.
The restraining torque is provided by a spiral spring.
The spindle of the disc carries a moving contact which
bridges two fixed contacts when the disc has rotated
through a preset angle. By adjusting this angle, desired
time setting can be obtained.

Operation:
The flux 1 due to current in the potential
coil will be nearly 90 lagging behind the
applied voltage V.
The flux 2 due to current coil will be
nearly in phase with the operating current
I, as in the vector diagram.
The interaction of fluxes 1 and 2 with
the eddy currents induced in the disc
produces a driving torque given by:
T 1 2 sin .

It is an over current element similar in all respects to a nondirectional over current relay.
The spindle of the disc of this element carries a moving contact
which closes the fixed contact after the operation of directional
element.

DEFINTE-DISTANCE RELAY
Dr Abro
Operation:
Under normal operating conditions, the pull due to the
voltage element is greater than that of the current element.
Therefore, the relay remains open.
When a fault occurs in the protected zone, the applied
voltage to the relay decreases where as the current
increases. The ratio of voltage to current (i.e. impedance)
falls below the pre-determined value. Therefore, the pull of
the current element will exceed that due to the voltage
element & this causes the beam to tilt in a direction to
close the trip contacts.

These values of the constant k1 & k2 depends upon the ampereturns of the two electromagnets. By providing tapings on the
coils, the setting value of the relay can be changed.

Fig: 2
(i) If some current (500 A in this case) flows out of one side while a
larger current (2000 A) enters the other side as shown in fig:2, then
the difference of the CT secondary currents i.e. 10 2.5 = 7.5 A will
flow through the relay.
Fig: 3
(ii) If current flows to the fault from both sides as shown in fig: 3,
then sum of CT secondary currents i.e. 1O + 5 = 15 A will flow
through the relay.
Dr Abro
Disadvantages:
a) The impedance of the pi1ot cables generally causes a slight
difference between the currents at the two ends of the section to
be protected. If the is very sensitive, then the small differential
current flowing through the relay may cause it to operate even
under no fault conditions.
b) Pilot cable capacitance causes incorrect operation of the relay
when a large current flows.
c) Accurate matching of current transformers cannot be
achieved due to pilot circuit impedance.
The above disadvantages are overcome to a great extent in
biased beam relay.

These type of relays are used in the feeder protection and the
scheme is called Translay scheme. In this scheme, two such relays
are employed at the two ends of feeder.
