Measuring Relays

RXEDA 1 is a microprocessor based time-overvoltage relay. The relay can be used for AC or DC. The AC input can be single- two- or three-phase, with or without neutral.

The relay may also be used as an instantaneous single-phase undervoltage relay. In case of three-phase undervoltage applications using one relay only, the relay will set required undervoltage in all phases in order to operate.

Since the relay does not need a separate auxiliary DC supply, it is suitable as a replacement for electromechanical relays.

RXEDA 1 has a built in timer and a LED indication of the time-delayed trip function. A starting output can be used as an alternative to having both outputs operated after the time-delay.

• Setting voltage ranges are 20-300 V DC and 15-210 V AC, 15-400 Hz
• Setting time range of 0-10 s definite time
• Two output change-over contacts; one for start and one for time function or both for time function
• High resetting ratio; > 97 %
• No auxiliary voltage required 

RXETB 1 operates in case of fuse failure in one or two phases of a three-phase system or if the voltage in one phase drops below 40 % of rated voltage and the other two phases have rated voltage. Fuse failure in all three phases is unlikely to occur, therefore the RXETB 1 relay is sufficient in most cases.

The measurement principle is based on a comparison between the neutral point of the voltage transformer and an internal neutral point derived from the three phases. When a voltage difference is detected, the two output relays, each with one change-over contact, operates.

By a knob at the front, the operation can be set to be delayed up to 10 seconds. During operation, a red LED is lit at the front of the relay.

Unbalanced phase-to-phase connected loads is not a problem due to the high remaining voltages. If the relay operates because of a voltage drop in one phase, it will reset when the voltage exceeds 75 % of rated voltage.

• Detects single- or two-phase fuse failures
• Is used together with fuses only
• Detects voltage unbalance in a three-phase group
• Settable operate time delay 0-10 s
• Operation is indicated by a red LED
• Used to give delayed alarm of fuse failure in ac supply circuit e.g. to synchronizing and energy metering equipment

RXIB 24 is a static, high-speed ac overcurrent relay generally used where high-speed and consistent operate and reset times are required. It's speed and consistency make the RXIB especially suitable for breaker failure applications where it is important that the set breaker failure time is not unduly influenced by variations in operation or reset time of the current-measuring relay.

• Operate time 4-15 ms
• Resetting time 5-11 ms
• 10 mA to 15 A total range for four models
• Low CT burden and high overload capacity 

The current measuring relay type RXIG is a static, instantaneous ac current relay which can be used as over- or undercurrent protection. The instantaneous and time delayed overcurrent protections with RXIG are used in a number of different applications, such as:

• short-circuit protection
• earth-fault protection
• capacitor bank unbalance protection
• generator interturn short-circuit protection
• blockable overcurrent relays for busbar protection
• special applications, such as blocking of tap changer regulation

There are three versions of RXIG available:

• RXIG 21 with straight frequency characteristic
• RXIG 22 which has reduced sensitivity to higher frequencies
• RXIG 28 with extra low ac power consumption

The overcurrent protections RAIG are built up based upon the overcurrent relay RXIG 2. RAIG is available in several versions, with and without time-lag relay and with different duty on trip outputs.

• Test switch and trip indication included as standard
• Version with heavy- and medium-duty trip output

The RXIDK 2H has simple setting knobs and selector-switches for different inverse and fixed time delay overcurrent characteristics and operate values and time delays. It is used as short-circuit and earth-fault protection for all types of objects in the network.
