CDG Millenium Version
IDMT Overcurrent and Earthfault Relay
CDG36
Drawn out from case
The new CDG millenium
version comes with the time
tested reliability of the CDG
relay with enhanced built-
in features, designed
keeping the customers
changing needs in mind.
Features
• Identical time/current
characteristics on all taps.
• Self-powered, no necessity
for separate auxiliary
supply.
• High torque, ensuring
consistent timing even
under adverse conditions.
• Low overshoot
• Dust proof drawout case
and tropicalised finish.
NEW
• Built-in testing facility with
test plug (optional)
• Improved case assembly
and finish.
• Un-breakable
polycarbonate cover.
• Options with or without
auxiliary unit
• Auxiliary unit can be
provided as handreset
(saves cost on external trip
relays)
Application
Selective phase and/or
earthfault protection, in time
graded systems for AC
machines, transformers,
feeders etc.
General description
A non-directional heavily
damped induction disc relay,
which has an adjustable
inverse time/current
characteristic with a definite
minimum time. The new
millenium version of the CDG
relay is available in either
single or three pole versions.
The single pole version can be
offered for either overcurrent
or earthfault protection. The
three pole version can be
offered for either three
overcurrent or two overcurrent
and one earthfault protection.
The cortec sheet on page 7
gives the model number for
the selected option.
The relay has a high torque
movement combined with low
burden. The relay disc is so
shaped that as it rotates the
driving torque increases and
offsets the changing
restraining torque of the
control spring. This feature
combined with the high torque
2
of the relay ensures good
contact pressure even at
currents near pick-up.
Damping of the disc
movement is by a removable
high retentivity permanent
magnet. The unique method of
winding the operating coil
ensures that the time/current
characteristics are identical on
each of the seven current taps.
Selection of the required
current setting is by means of
a plug setting bridge, which
has a single insulated plug.
The maximum current tap is
automatically connected when
the plug is withdrawn from the
bridge, allowing the setting to
be changed under load
without risk of open circuiting
the current transformers. The
relay operating time can be
adjusted by movement of the
disc backstop, which is
controlled by rotating a
knurled moulded disc at the
base of the graduated time
multiplier scale (TMS-Time
multiplier setting).
Relay type CDG11 and CDG31
are provided with auxiliary
units powered by a secondary
winding on the electromagnet
through a rectifier and as such
a separate auxiliary supply is
not required. The disc unit
operates and closes its
contracts, the auxiliary
element connected across the
secondary winding on the
electromagnet operates and
one normally open contact of
the auxiliary element
reinforces the disc contact. Two
other contacts of the auxiliary
element are brought out to the
terminals of the relay. THese
contacts are adequately rated
to enable it to be used for
direct tripping of the circuit
breaker. For this purpose,
these contacts can be offered
as self-reset or hand reset
type.
Relay type CDG16 & CDG36
are provided with two
normally open electrically
isolated contacts directly from
the IDMT unit per pole.
The rating of these contacts
are more than adequate to
handle burden of external trip
relays or low burden circuit
breaker trip coil (please refer
technical data for information
on contact rating).
The millennium version of
CDG relay can be provided
with built-in test plug as
optional for performing on-
line secondary injection test of
the relay without drawing the
relay from the case. This
feature is achieved by a
combination of test block and
test plug (isolation wedge). The
insertion of test plug (isolation
wedge) shorts the CTs and
isolates the relay side. The
relay can then be tested by
injecting current through the
sockets provided.

Frequency error
Timing error less than 8% for 2
Hz frequency variations. Time
grading unaffected by such
small error, since all relays are
similarly affected.
Temperature error
For 10 times setting current, at
embient temperature between
+ 45°C and -5°C, percentage
timing errors are as follows :
• 3 seconds relay : -3% and
+4%
• 1.3 seconds relay: - 4% and
+4%.
Output contacts
Each pole of the CDG relay is
provided with two apir of
normally open self reset output
contacts.
If the model with auxiliary unit
is opted for then each pole can
be ordered with any of the
following combinations
1. Self reset - 2 N/O
2. Hand reset - 2N/O
+ 2N/C.
