TRIM3-EP

EuroProt familija
TRANSFORMER INRUSH CURRENT MINIMIZER
 
TRIM3-EP digital device has been specially designed for minimising the inrush current in three-phase power transformers. The device measures the voltage on the transformer and determines the residual flux after switching off the transformer. The next energising is synchronised to the voltage on the supply side of the circuit breaker. The optimal moment of closing the contact is calculated based on the residual flux values in the iron cores of the transformer. The closing command is issued according to the measured operation time of the circuit breaker, which is set as a parameter.
The version TRIM1-EP is specially designed for single phase power transformers in railway traction.
 
Main features
 
  • Transformer inrush current minimiser can be an independent device or can be a function in a complex transformer protection equipment
  • Control of circuit breakers with three independent drives. In this case the inrush current remains in the range of the normal magnetising current
  • Control of circuit breakers with a common drive of mechanical time-delay of the individual phases: In this case the absolute minimum of the inrush current can not be guarantied, but the inrush current remains below the rated current of the transformer
  • Possibility to measure voltages on the primary or on the secondary side of the transformer
  • Easy parameter setting
  • Easy commissioning
  • Built-in self test function with dc supply check, trip/close circuit supervision and Watch Dog
  • One serial communication direction with two ports: (selectable with a parameter)
    • an isolated RS 232 connector on the front plate
    • fibre-optic connector on the rear plate
  • Two types of event recording:
    • event log for storing collected data of the last 50 protection operations
    • event sequence recorder with 1 ms resolution for 300 events
  • 16 isolated optical coupled binary inputs
  • 8 output contacts with user-defined functions. Each can be NO or NC
  • 6 indicating LED-s
  • Man-machine communication via external PC or built-in LCD display
  • Battery backed-up RAM to store events and running real time clock
  • Clock synchronisation with external binary input or on serial link
