ANSWER FOR ANY
TRIPPING APPLICATION
ARTECHE offers a wide range of relays
specially designed to be used in circuit
breaker tripping applications.
›› Interface between protection and control

equipments and HV and/or MV primary
equipment, protecting valuable and with
not easy replacement assets from the failure
of those main actuators.
›› Trip contacts multiplication, to operate
directly on the primary equipment and
transmit the corresponding alarms in a
minimum and cohesive time.
›› Trip and lock-out, with electric or hand reset
to avoid accidental actuation on circuit
breakers associated to power transformers,
generators or machines.
›› The surveillance of the trip circuit,
guarantees it is in perfect conditions to
allow the trip when it is needed.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS
GENERAL STANDARDS
In addition to the specific applicable standards, ARTECHE auxiliary

relays are designed to comply the following standards as reference:
›› IEC 61810: Electromechanical all-or-nothing relays.

›› IEC 60255: Electrical relays. Measuring relays and protection
equipment.
›› IEC 61812: Specified time relays for industrial use.
›› IEC 60947: Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
›› IEC 61000: Electromagnetic compatibility.
4 Auxiliary relays | Tripping applications

GENERAL
CHARACTERISTICS
Some of the general characteristics of the ARTECHE
trip relays are:
›› High isolation level between circuits, which

guarantees that a problem in the primary
equipment will not cause irreparable
damages in the secondary equipment
(typically, protection/control electronics).
›› Fastoperating times, down to 3 ms,
minimizing the impact on the total trip time.
›› High breaking capacity, which allows direct
operation on highly inductive circuits.
›› Sturdy design, which ensures high reliability.
›› Wide range of auxiliary voltage (Vdc and
Vac).
›› Self-cleaning of the contacts.
›› Security contacts according to EN 50205.
›› Versatile installation (plug-in relays with
different installation possibilities).
›› Designed to work in permanent service,
even at high temperature for the whole
voltage range.
›› Capable to work under environments with
relative humidity around 100%.
›› Tested to comply seismic standards,
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.
›› High protection degree (IP40), with
transparent cover, enabling its use in tropical
and saline environments.
›› Compliant of the most demanding
standards: IEC, EN, IEEE, CE and UL mark.
›› No maintenance needed.
In addition, the different number of alternatives available while the

equipment is selected, both technically (increase of the breaking
capacity by serializing contacts, high speed operation, 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.
E322124
UL Recognized Component Marks for USA and

Canada: The combined UL signs for the USA and
Canada are recognized by the authorities of both
countries. All auxiliary relays identified with this mark
meet the requirements of both countries.

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, 8 and 16 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 shock 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, 8 and 16 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 coil breakers. Through a small
supervision current the whole circuit is supervised, in both positions of
the circuit breaker (open 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 their position if the relay
detects a failure in the continuity of the circuit.
The single coil trip circuit supervision relay can be manufactured with
different LED indicator configurations, refers to selection chart for
more detailed information
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.
Auxiliary supply circuit supervision relays can be manufactured

with different LED indicator configuration, refers to selection chart

BREAKING CAPACITY
›› With devices operating

worldwide, also heavy
industries like oil &
gas sector trust in our
relays.

BREAKING CAPACITY MAX. BREAKING CAPACITY ULTRA-FAST
TYPE (Tripping contact):
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, ARTECHE’s 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

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 four different curves:
›› TypeA: Breaking capacity of the relays with distance between

contacts = 1.8 mm.
›› TypeB: Breaking capacity of the relays with distance between
contacts = 1.2 mm.
›› 2 contacts type A: Breaking capacity for relays with serial contacts,
and distance between contacts=1.8 mm.
›› 2 contacts type B: Breaking capacity for relays with serial contacts,
and distance between contacts=1.2 mm.
The distance between contacts is shown in the tables of technical data.
HOW THE BREAKING CAPACITY

CAN BE INCREASED
ARTECHE’s 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 contacts in series. The breaking capacity is increased

considerably, guaranteeing the right performance during a high
number of operations. See curves for two contacts.
›› Use ARTECHE range of contactors. See ARTECHE contactors
catalogue for more detailed information.
LOW DUTY LOADS CAPALBLE

RELAYS (LDL)
There are some applications where the relay contacts stablish circuits
where the driven current is intrinsically low and are very dependent
upon the voltage applied. In this kind of use, if the voltage applied
to those kind of circuits differs (even slightly) from the one already
specified, the circuit energisation fails. One of these cases is when we
use relays to activate digital inputs. In these situations is necessary
to minimise the contact resistance in the relay. To achieve that, while
the relay is manufactured, its contacts are submitted to an special
conditioning to make its contacts resistance extremely low.
