INS - 1T

DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT RELAY
 
Application
 

The INS-1T device, is intended for directional overcurrent protection of networks with isolated, compensated, low resistance earthed and directly earthed neutral.
The relay input information is a phase current and the line voltage, which is in normal circuit conditions, perpen- dicular to this current.

 
Description
The directional overcurrent relay receives information on voltage from a voltage measuring transformer while information on current is received from a current measuring transformer.
According to the block diagram in fig. 1, information on current goes to the current comparator 1> in which the required pick-up current setting is effected (in the range of 0,6 to 1 ,8 Ir) .
Information on current direction is formed through serving both voltage and current zero crossings. The zero crossing of voltage triggers a monostable multivibrator circuit which generates a square wave pulse at its output of duration b, adjustable from 0,55 ms to 10 ms. The falling edge of the square wave pulse having duration b triggers the next monostable multivibrator circuit which generates a square wave pulse of duration h = 10 ms.
If the instant of zero crossing of current falls within the interval h , that means that the current laggs behind the voltage for the time equal to at least b .Considering that the lagging time corresponds to phase shift, the durati- on b is calibrated in degrees directly (and can be set from 10° to 180°). A graphical interpretation is presented in fig. 2. With voltage and current measuring transformers connected as in fig. 1, the angle b can be defined as the angle existing between voltage and the "nearer" limit of the relay pick-up zone (having the "width" of 10 ms, resp. 180° ). It is therefore possible, by selecting b , to select an arbitrary position of the re ay pick-up semi-plane in the plane U, I and thus match the relay optimally to network conditions.
In the example on fig. 2, it is visible that fault current I1, falls within the relay pick-up zone.
 
Features
 
The INS-1T relay is made with high quality and reliable semiconductor components. Static construction has offered high reliability, accuracy and sensitivity. The sensitivity does not depend on the angle between current and voltage. The relay operation is normal at 1% Un.
The choice of pick-up current settings and of pick-up zone positions of the relay is possible within wide limits by means of the setting elements on the relay front panel.
In the text b [ms] is calculated for the rated frequency of 50Hz.
