Successful reclosing with minimum dead-time
interval. Phase faults and earth faults are each
‘measured with an optimum shaped characteris-

are suitable for any line length. Zone 1 can be

typically) as well as for very long lines. Zero~

‘The RAZFE can be used with a communication
channel in the tripping, blocking or unblocking
‘mode, using bull-in auxiliary interface relays.
‘The transient response of capacitive voltage
transformers (CV's), can cause undesired op-
eration of high-speed relays. RAZFE prevents
this by means of active filters. This fiter is only
effective when the voltage and current identi-
fied in RAZFE indicate the probable nood for
transient suppression, thus the operating time
of RAZFE is delayed only for a minimal amount
and only when needed, to assure secure oper-
ation.

Should itbe closed into a fault of a mainto-
nance earthing device. RAZFE has excellent
‘ault sensitivity, operating down to 20% (10%
as option) of rated current. The rated current
anges are 1, 2 and 5 A. Each range has a con-
tinuous overioad capabilty of three times rated
‘ourrent. Thus with a 2 A relay in a 5 A CT cir-
cuit, the usable sensitivity can be proportionato-
ly greater.
Design
RAZFE is provided ina 12U (27 high)
COMBIFLEX equipment frame for mounting in
a standard 19 rack. The upper 2/31 of the
irame, BU in space, contains all input tans-
formes, compensator networks and printed
Cireult boards. The printed circuit boards con-
fain all of the measuring circuits, A/D signal ct
Cults and digital processing £0 a8 to provide the
proper outputs forthe type of faut, fault loca
{ion and desired tipping mode. The eating for-
mulas and relay characteristics are shown on
{he large face plate covering the PC-boards.
Alseting knobs are located onthe front of the
relay, let of face plate.
‘The lower 1/d ofthe relay contains the do-de
‘converter plus the necessary zone timing, inter-
facing, targeting and tripping modules.
RAZFE is a three-phase relay which utilizes
booth analog and digital techniques to attain the
desired characteristics. The analog section
Contains replicas of the protected line; Le., it
utlizes the traditional compensator principle.
‘The desired information is contained in the
phase relation or amplitude of the resulting sig-
nals. These signals are processed by amplitude
‘or phase comparators to extract this informa~
tion. In the phase comparator, the signals are
first squared and then their zero crossings are
‘compared in Sequential Logic Circuits (SLC),
‘The operating parameters are determined in
the SLC by the sequence of these zero cross-
ings. Phase faults are measured with three
zones of mho characteristics; earth faults, with
three zones of sloped and load compensated

ers.
