Features
l Integral buswire shorting facility
l Low ac burden
l No external resistors required
l Alarm contacts provided
Application
The MVTP relay is available in two
types:
l Type MVTP 11 - single phase
relay.
l Type MVTP 31 - three phase
relay.
The MVTP provides continuous
supervision of the buswires in high
impedance type busbar protection
schemes such as those utilising
ALSTOM type MCAG 34 and
MFAC 34 relays. It detects open-
circuited buswires as well as open-
circuited
main current transformers. In phase
and earth fault busbar protection
schemes the three phase relay may
be used, or alternatively three
single-phase units may be preferred.
In earth-fault only busbar protection
schemes, the single-phase relay is
employed.
Description
MVTP relays have a setting range of
1-16V in 1V steps, adjusted by
means of a dual in line (DIL) switch
on the relay front panel. Relays are
continuously rated at 600V rms and
no external components are
required.
The relays have a ventilated
enclosure fitted to the rear of each
case to provide extra thermal
dissipation for the auxiliary supply
components.
Operation
Isolation from the main CTs is
achieved by an internal transformer
whose primary winding is
2
connected in series with a high
value resistor.
The secondary output signal of this
isolating transformer is fed into a
current to voltage converter, then
rectified for comparison with a pre-
set value.
The ac voltage input is continuously
monitored and when it exceeds the
level pre-set by means of the DIL
switch setting, the output relay is
actuated after a three second delay.
The hand reset contacts of the output
relay are normally connected across
the buswires of the busbar
protection thus short-circuiting the
busbar protection relay and
rendering the protection of the zone
concerned inoperative. On the same
output relay are hand reset contacts
for alarm purposes.
Operation of the relay is indicated
by a hand resettable mechanical
flag.
