GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Some of the general characteristics of the ARTECHE trip relays are:

High

Fast

isolation level between input and output circuit, which guarantees that a problem in the circuit breaker will not cause irreparable damages on the protection system. operating times, down to 3 ms, minimizing the impact on the total trip time. operation on highly inductive circuits.

High breaking capacity, which allows direct Sturdy design, which ensures high reliability. Wide range of auxiliary voltage (Vdc and Self-cleaning of the contacts. Security contacts according to EN 50205. Easy installation (plug-in relays with Designed
different installation possibilities). to work in permanent service, even at high temperature for the whole voltage range. to work in environments with relative humidity of 100%. characteristics, allowing their use in installations which can be subject to vibrations, as for example in power stations or in regions with high risk of seism. protection degree (IP40), with transparent cover, making them appropriate for tropical and saline environments. of the most demanding standards: IEC, EN, IEEE, CE and UL mark. Vac).

Possibility Seismic High

Fulfilment

No maintenance needed.

In addition, the different number of alternatives that are offered when the equipment is selected, both technically (increase of the breaking capacity by serial contacts or by the magnetic blow out, high speed operation of the output contacts, possibility of adding different options to the relay) and in the assembly method (front, rear or flush mounted sockets, with screws or fastons) must be considered.

RANGE OF PRODUCTS
TRIP RELAYS
Instantaneous trip relays, whose contacts change instantaneously from the rest position to the working position when the coil is energized. The contacts return to the rest position when the coil is no longer energized. This range includes relays with 2, 4 and 8 contacts, with operating times from 3 ms to 8 ms, depending on the model. All the relays include a diode in parallel with the coil (see auxiliary relays with overvoltage protection characteristic) and comply with the sock and vibration standards, related to the relays with seismic characteristics.

TRIP AND LOCKOUT RELAYS

Trip relays with 2 stable positions for the output contacts. Depending on which coil is energized, the contacts will change from one position to the other. The design of the ARTECHE relays has no consumption in permanence, and prevents both coils from being energized simultaneously. This range includes relays with 3, 4 and 8 contacts, with operating times below 10 ms, depending on the model, and possibility of manual reset. The position change is made with 2 sets of coils with separated entrances, in BF-3 and BJ-8, and with breaking-flame contacts for each set of coils.

TRIP CIRCUIT SUPERVISION RELAYS

For single phase or three phase circuit breakers. Through a small supervision current the whole circuit is supervised, in both positions of the circuit breaker (opened or closed). The correct state of the circuit is showed with a green LED on the front plate of the relay. The output contacts change its position if the relay detects a failure in the continuity of the circuit.

AUXILIARY SUPPLY CIRCUIT SUPERVISION RELAYS

Auxiliary relay with four changeover contacts, aimed to supervise the failure of trip supply. Connecting the relay across the trip circuit supply, the equipment is normally energized. Faults will occur when the trip voltage is lost, so the relay drops off in those cases, providing the related signs and alarms.In order to avoid faulty alarms due to instantaneous supply voltage dips, the drop off time of the relay is delayed over 100 ms so those non-permanent failures of trip supply would not be considered.

HIGH / LOW BURDEN CONFIGURATION

(HIGH SPEED TRIPPING RELAYS ONLY)
The standard high speed tripping relays are manufactured with a low burden configuration, considering that the initiating contact is placed close to the tripping relay. However, and in order to avoid unwanted trip relay operation due to pickup or transients, particularly if the relay operating coil is connected to extensive wiring, ARTECHE tripping relays could be manufactured with a high burden configuration, complying with ESI 48-4 international standard, as EB2 class relays. These EB2 class relays are suitable for use in high security circuit breaker tripping circuits, increasing their immunity to capacitance discharge currents. For relays with rated voltage up to and including the 125 V, the relays will withstand, without operating, a discharge into their operate circuits of a 10F capacitor charged to 120% of the higher rated voltage for the relay. For relays with rated voltage of 220 V, the relays will withstand, without operating a discharge into their operate circuits of a 10F capacitor charged to 100% of the higher rated voltage for the relay, i.e 242 V. Specifications: ESI 48-4 EB1: 1983 ESI 48-4 EB2: 1983 Low Burden High Burden

Auxiliary relays | Tripping applications

BREAKING CAPACITY
The breaking capacity is a critical parameter on the design and the applications of the relays. Its mechanical life could be considerably reduced, depending on the value of the load (especially with heavy duty loads), the number of operations and the environmental conditions in which the relay is operating. In any configuration, ARTECHEs auxiliary relays have a high breaking capacity values. These limits are showed in the table below, in terms of power and current values. In all the cases, these relays guarantee a right performance during 50,000 operations. Likewise, the values showed in the following charts have been obtained in standard conditions in the laboratory, and they could be different in real conditions. In any case, the possibility of connecting serial contacts or a bigger distance between contacts makes these values to be considerably increased.

HOW TO SELECT THE CURVE OF MY RELAY

These charts show the breaking capacity values, either for resistive and highly inductive loads, in three voltage values of reference (ask for other voltage values). The charts show two different curves:

Type

Type

A: Breaking capacity of the relays with distance between contacts = 1.8 mm. B: Breaking capacity of the relays with distance between contacts = 1.2 mm. and distance between contacts=1.8 mm. and distance between contacts=1.2 mm.

2 contacts type A: Breaking capacity for relays with serial contacts,

2 contacts type B: Breaking capacity for relays with serial contacts,

The distance between contacts is shown in the tables of technical data.

HOW THE BREAKING CAPACITY CAN BE INCREASED

ARTECHEs auxiliary relays are power relays, designed specially to have a high breaking capacity. Thus, there are applications where the loads are so high that it is necessary to even increase the breaking capacity, keeping the reliability of the contacts of the auxiliary relays. Recommendations to increase breaking capacity:

Connect

Include the magnetic blow-out option: This option is indicated for

contacts in series. The breaking capacity is increased considerably, guaranteeing the right performance during a high number of operations. See curves for two contacts.

safety applications (back-up) where the load values are extremely high. The mechanical life of the relay is reduced, but it is able to open very high loads for a certain number of operations.

These values of high breaking capacity are represented in the following table, where the high capacity of the output contacts of ARTECHEs auxiliary relays is proved:

Equipe With contact configuration Type A + magnetic blow out (OP: 1XXXX) With contact configuration Type B + magnetic blow out (OP: 1XXXX) 2 contacts type A + magnetic blow out (OP: 1XXXX) 2 contacts type B + magnetic blow out (OP: 1XXXX)
