2V73 High Impedance Differential Relay

The 2V73 relay provides high speed differential protection for various items of power system plant including generators, busbars, motors & the individual windings of power transformers. It is also suitable for restricted earth fault protection applications.

2V73 High Impedance Differential Relay

The relay measuring element is basically an attracted armature unit of simple & rugged construction powered from a bridge rectifier. Relay stability can be set in steps (25-115V in 15V steps or 25-325V in 50V steps), by using the front panel mounted selector switch. A capacitor is connected in series with the operating coil to make the relay insensitive to the DC component of fault current.

External Fault Causing CT Saturation

If CT saturation occurs it is most likely to affect CT with heaviest loading. Unbalance current caused by CT saturation will flow through secy winding of saturated CT and through relay. To obtain a relay operating voltage in excess of the resultant voltage the relay is required to be a HIGH IMPEDANCE. Note this is a relative term i.e. high impedance relative to impedance of saturated CT path

2V73 Operating Current

The primary operating current is given by: I op = n ( IR + N I ) IR = Relay operating current & Metrosil current at setting voltage as per the table below. I = CT magnetizing current at setting voltage (A) n = CT turns ratio N = Number of connected CTs The operating currents shown in the following tables are for both 3 inch & 6 inch Metrosils connected to the 2V73 as per the wiring diagram. Range A (Volts) Nominal (mA) Limits (mA) 25 15 13 to 16 75 15 13 to 17 125 15 13 to 17 175 15 13 to 20 225 17 13 to 27 275 21 15 to 39 325 29 18 to 61

Should the natural effective operating current after applying the above formula be lower that desired, it can be raised to the required level by adding a shunt resistor across the differential relay input circuit.

2V73 Metrosil

An external Metrosil unit having a non-linear resistance characteristic is required for each phase element to limit the peak voltage appearing across the secondary differential circuits under internal fault conditions.
