GK-41 8 MACHINE FIELD GROUND DETECTOR RELAY TYPE PJG12B DESCRIPTION The PJG12B detects grounds in a normally ungrounded field winding by detecting current flow when a d-c voltage is applied between the field winding and ground. Instantaneous time-delayed (nominally 2 seconds) operation is obtained by link selection. The PJGI2B is supplied in a size Ml drawout case. The internal connections are shown Fig. 3. APPLICATION Short circuits in normally ungrounded equipment can often be prevented by discovering and removing a ground as quickly as possible before a second ground can cause a fault and possible serious damage. The PJG1?B relay is designed primarily for the detection of grounds in normally ungrounded machine field cuits, and can be used to sound an alarm, or for tripping duty. To ensure that this protection will function for a ground in the alternator field winding, is necessary that the rotor iron be grounded without depending on the path through the bearings, as the oil film may withstand the voltage applied by the relay, and thus prevent the relay from operating when required. Grounding means must not be installed where will bypass the bearing insulation which is provided for prevention of shaft currents. it The time delay is intended to override the transient conditions that may occur when an excitation system is transferred between manual and automatic control. It may also be desirable to prevent operation for short circuits that may occur due to maintenance on the field metering circuits. RATINGS The type PJG1?B relays are rated at 12 or 24 VAC at 5 or 6 cycles. The relays should be ordered for the particular rating desired. If later becomes necessary to use the relay on the other rating, the change may be easily affected as described in the section INSTALLATION PROCEDURE. it titled cir it These relays may be used with machine fields rated 61) volts or less with ceiling excitation up to 75 volts They should not be used wi til machine fields WI icli can r ;e di)nve WOO volts buck or reverse exci tation. The relay wi I withstand 37 V/IC 5/6 hertz Iroui studs ti frame for one in note. The relay can be used for instantaneous or time delay operation. For instantaneous operation, the operating time is no more than 1 milliseconds at rated voltage. For time-delay operation, the relay operating time is 2. ±.5 seconds at rated voltage and ambient temperature (25 C). filter The capacitor may be removed from the circuit by moving capacitor (Cl) lead from stud 3 to 3A. With the capacitor in circuit the relay introduces no more than 3 volts peak-to peak ripple across studs 3 and 5. The relay pickup sensitivity is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The current through the sensing circuit should not exceed.45 amps for more than five seconds for periods less than one second; the product must not exceed.5. Note also that the non-repetitive half-cycle ranges should not exceed 5 amps. It CONTACT AY RATINGS unit 6 amperes make and carry continuously 3 arnoeres make and carry tripping duty. These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipmant nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser s purposes, the matter should be referred to the General Slectric Company. To the extent required the products described herein mset applicable ANSI, ISEF and NSM.4 standards; but no such assurance is given with respect to codes and ordinances because they vary greatly. lcal 3

GEK-41 88 AX unit, Interruption ratings. VIJC 48 125 25 3 4 5 6 Amps 26 26 2 1.2.425 o.3.225 CFIARACTERISTICS PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The PJG12B relay is designed to sense machine field to ground resistance. If this field to ground resistance is low enough (due to an insulation failure, for instance), the relay senses this fault condition and picks up. Refer to Fig. 4. The negative terminal of the relay s d c voltage source is grounded. The positive terminal of the relay s d-c voltage source is connected to the negative terminal of the machine field through the coil of the current sensing unit (Unit A), ground fault interrupting contacts (Unit AX normally closed contacts), and diode D1. A fault on the field winding is a connection of the field winding to ground through fault resistance R. This fault resistance completes a circuit so that sensitivity current Is flows from rectifier positive to negative through Unit A coil, AX b contact, diode Dj, field winding, fault resistance R, and ground. Note that the positive terminal of the relay s rectifier must be connected to the negative terminal of the field. This is done so that a fault in the machine field causes a percentage of the machine field voltage to be combined additively with the relay s own d-c voltage source. This percentage is dependent on where in the field winding the fault occurs. If the fault occurs at the positive terminal., the percentage = 1 percent. If the fault occurs at the negative terminal, the percentage = percent. The Unit A coil is calibrated to pick up at a fixed minimum value of I. Thus, the factors determining the relays sensitivity are those that make I exceed this value. If RG increases, then applied voltage plus percent of field volts where fault occurs must increase. Since relay sensitivity is of interest, the smallest maximum value of RG that the relay will sense is when the applied voltage is a minimum and the fault occurs at the negative terminal. When the applied voltage is 8 percent rated, the relay will sense 5 ohms or less at the negative terminal. This is worst case maximum sensitivity. The principles discussed above are more clearly shown in the curves of Figs. 1 and 2. In determining whether the relay will operate, the following parameters must be known. 1) machine field voltage 2) percent of field voltage where fault occurs 3) percent of rated voltage applied. As an example, assume machine field voltage is 3 volts, the percent of field voltage where fault occurs is 5 percent, and percent of rated voltage applied is 8 percent. Referring to Fig. 2, the 3 volt line is found at the 5 percent (ordinate) level. The corresponding maximum sensitivity (abcissa) is 5.85 kilo ohms. This is fault resistance if field resistance is neglected. OPERATION The sequence of operation is understood by referring to Fig. 5. Assume that the time delay link is on the In position. The following is what happens during a continuous fault greater than two seconds. 1) Fault sensitivity current Is flows from relay rectifier positive through Unit A coil, normally closed contact AX, diode Dl, machine field winding, and RG (not shown) to ground. It returns to relay rectifier negative terminal through grounded stud 5. Unit A picks up and closes its contacts. 2) Thermal time delay relay element (Unit T) is energized through A contact and time delay link. 3) After two seconds, thermal timer contacts T close energizing AY coil directly and AX coil through R2. 4) AX seals itself and AY in through its a contact; simultaneously it interrupts the I current flow through the A coil by opening its b contacts (make before break). This deenergizes Unit A and Unit T. 5) AY (sealed in through AX contacts) sets target and closes dlarm or trip circuit contacts. 4

GE K-41 88 6) Unit AY cannot be reset until Unit T has cooled off. This takes a maximum of two minutes after it has operated. To reset, the AX coil is shorted through the reset contacts. This causes it to drop out and break the seal-in for both itself and the AY coils. For external electrical reset, a normally open switch may be used across studs 7 8. For instantaneous operation, the Lime-delay link is placed on the Out position. The sequence of operation is as follows: 1) Same as 1) above 2) AX and AY are energized through the A contact and the time delay link 3) Same as 4) above except only A unit deeriergized 4) Same as 5) above 5) Same as 6) above except relay can be reset immediately. CAUTION THE PJG RELAY GENERATES AN INTERNAL DC VOLTAGE BETWEEN THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE GENERATOR FIELD AND GROUND. THIS INTERNAL VOLTAGE IS NOT REMOVED BY OPENING THE GENERATOR FIELD CIRCUIT BREAKER. BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED ON THE GENERATOR, THIS RELAY-GENERATED VOLTAGE SHOULD BE DISCON NECTED FROM THE GENERATOR FIELD. THIS MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY REMOVING THE RELAY CONNECTION PLUG OR BY REMOVING THE AC SUPPLY TO RELAY TERMINALS 9 AND 1. BURDENS The maximum burdens are given as follows: CONSTRUCTION The Type PJG relays are assembled in the medium size single ended (M-l) drawout case having studs at one end in the rear for external connections. The electrical connections between the relay and case studs are through stationary molded inner and outer blocks between which nests a removable connecting plug. The inner block has the terminals for the internal connections. The relay mechanism is mounted in a steel framework called the cradle and is a complete unit with all leads terminated at the inner block. This cradle is held firmly in the case with a latch at both top and bottom and by a guide pin at the back of the case. The connecting plug, besides making the electrical connections between the respective blocks of the cradle and case, also locks the latch in place. The cover, which is drawn to the case by thumbscrews, holds the connecting plugs in place. The target reset mechanism is a part of the cover assembly. The relay case is suitable for either seniiflush or surface mounting on all panels up to two inches thick and appropriate hardware is available. However, panel thickness must be indicated on the relay order to insure that proper hardware will be included. Outline and panel drilling is shown in Fig. 8. A separate testing plug can be inserted in place of the connecting plug to test the relay in place on the panel either from its own source of current and voltage, or from other sources. Or the relay can be drawn out and replaced by another which has been tested in the laboratory. The relays covered by these instructions include a plunger unit, two hinged armature type units: and a thermal time-delay unit. The A unit is aninstantaneous overcurrent plunger relay. It has been calibrated at the factory per the curves shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The AX unit is a hinged armature relay with two normally closed contacts connected in series with blow-out magnets for d c interruption duty. This relay also has an a contact adjusted for make-before break operation to assure that the AX unit seals in. This relay interrupts the ground fault current. The AY unit is a voltage-operated instantaneous unit which provides target indication and the output contacts connected to studs 1 and 2. 5

GEK-41 88 The time-delay unit Is enabled or disabled by means of a link. With the time delay unit enabled the fau must remain for the pickup time of the thermal unit before the trip contacts will close. With the t1!i -delay unit disabled there Is no intentional time delay between fault inception and the closing of the Lrip contacts. The PJG relay also includes a d-c supply. This supply is filtered and will introduce no more than three volts peak-to-peak ripple. The filter capacitor may be disconnected by moving the capacitor lead to stud 3A. RECEIVING, HANDLING AND STORAGE These relays, when not included as a part of a control panel, will be shipped in cartons designed to protect them against damage. Imnediately upon receipt of a relay, examine it for any damage sustained in transit. If injury or damage resulting from rough handling is evident, file a damage claim at once with the transportation company and promptly notify the nearest General Electric Apparatus Sales Office. Reasonable care should be exercised in unpacking the relay in order that none of the parts are injured or the adjustments disturbed. If the relays are not to be installed irmiediately, they should be stored in their original cartons in a place that is free from moisture, dust and metallic chips. Foreign matter collected on the outside of the case may find its way inside when the cover is removed and cause trouble in the operation of the relay. ACCEPTANCE TESTS Immediately upon receipt of the relay an inspection and acceptance test should be made to insure that no damage has been sustained in shipment and that the relay calibrations have not been disturbed. These tests may be performed as part of the installation or acceptance test at the discretion of the user. Since most operating companies use different procedures for acceptance and installation tests 1 the following section includes all applicable tests that may be performed on these relays. VISUAL INSPECTION Check the nameplate stamping to insure that the model requisition. number and rating of the relay agree with the Remove the relay from its case and check that there are no broken or cracked molded parts or other signs of physical damage, and that all screws are tight. MECHANICAL INSPECTION Cradle and Case Blocks Check that the fingers on the cradle and the case agree with the internal connection diagram. Check that the shorting bars are in the correct position. Check that each finger with a shorting bar makes contact with the shorting bar. Deflect each contact finger to insure that there is sufficient contact force available. Check that each auxiliary brush is bent high enough to contact the connection plug. Check that the A unit plunger moves freely up and down within the calibration tube (do not change calibration), and contacts make correctly. The AX armature should operate so that contacts make before break and wires to moving contacts do not interfere with movement. The AY target armature should Set the target and close its contacts uniformly. Put the relay into its case. It should slide in without excessive binding. No wires should be pinched between case and cradle. Set the target by hand. Target should be clearly displayed. Place the glass cover on the relay case (reset button on lower left) and fasten in position with thumbscrews. Pressing the reset button slowly should cause the rnicroswitch to click before the target drops. ELECTRICAL CHECKS Any electrical testing of the relay must occur in a case which is perfectly level in the upright position. Place the time-delay link on tn positon. Apply rated voltage to studs 9-1, insert the con nection plug, and fasten glass cover. Placing a jumper across studs 3-4 should cause the relay to operate in 2-1-Q5 seconds (target appears). Remove the jumper. Pressing the lower left reset button after a minimum of two minutes causes the target to drop. Remove the glass cover, and pull out the connection plug. Place the time-delay link to Out position. Reinsert the connection plug, fasten the cover into positon. 6

The purity of the sine wave (i.e. its freedom from harmonics) cannot be expressed moisture, dust and vibration.

GEK-41 88 Similarly, relays requiring d c control power should be tested using d c and not full wave rectified power. Unless the rectified supply is well filtered, many relays will not operate properly due to the dips in the rectified power. Zener diodes, for example, can turn off during these dips, As a general rule the d-c source should not contain more than 5 percent ripple. It is recommended that the relay be tested using the 12XLA12A test plug connected as shown in Fig. 7. These tests ensure correct relay operation and correct grounding of relay and rotor. 1) Remove connection plug. 2) Place time delay link on In position. 3) Make connections on test plug before inserting into relay. Apply rated voltage to studs 9 1. 4) Insert test plug into relay. 5) Close the test switch. A unit should pick up instantaneously. After 2 +.5 seconds, AX and AY should seal in, target should appear, trip contacts close, and A unit drops out. Relay is now set. Open test switch. 6) Press microswitch and reset target after two or more minutes. AX and AY should drop out, and target should drop. Unit is now reset. 7) Remove test plug. 8) Place time-delay link on OUT position. 9) Reinsert test plug. 1) Close the test switch. Unit A should pick up causing AX and AY to seal in instantaneously. Unit A drops out as soon as seal-in is complete. Target appears and trip contacts close. Unit AY is now set. Open test switch. 11) Press microswitch, then reset target. AX and AY should drop out, and target should drop. Unit is now reset. 12) Remove the test plug. 13) Set time-delay link for desired operation. 14) Reinsert connection plug. If external connections have been made correctly, relay is now ready for operation. CAUTION - Capacitors storing large charges may endanger testing personnel. Do not handle the relay after electrical testing until C1 and C2 capacitors have been discharged (two largest capacitors in back upper left and back middle). If any difficulty arises in carrying out this procedure, refer to section titled SERVICINO. PERIODIC TESTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE In view of the vital role of protective relays in the operation of a power system it is important that a periodic test program be followed. It is recognized that the interval between periodic checks will vary depending upon environment, type of relay and the user s experience with periodic testing. Until the user has accumulated enough experience to select the test interval best suited to his individual requirements it is suggested that the points listed under INSTALLATION PROCEDURE be checked at an interval of from one to two years. Check the items described under ACCEPTANCE TESTS - VISUAL inspection AND MECHANICAL INSPECTION. Examine each component for signs of overheating, deterioration or other damage. Check that all connections are tight by observing that the lockwashers are fully collapsed. CONTACTS Examine the contacts for pits, arc or burn marks, corrosion, and insulating films. For cleaning con tacts, a flexible burnishing tool should be used. This consists of a flexible strip of metal with an etched roughened surface resembling in effect a superfine file. The polishing action is so delicate that no scratches are left, yet it will clean off any corrosion thoroughly and rapidly. Its flexibility insures the cleaning of the actual points of contact. Do not use knives, files, abrasive paper or cloth of any kind to clean relay contacts. 8

The moving contact must be formed such that contact For more frequent operational checks when the machine rotor is not accessible, a modification to the gap is 3/32 inch (do not reshape with any additional sudden bends).

Raising armature by hand until contacts just make should leave a 1/64 Inch air gap between freeze pin of armature and pole piece. PICKUP CALIBRATION It is recommended that external voltage be applied with a 12XLA13A test plug. Voltage must be at rated frequency and accurately metered. Before inserting test plug into the relay, apply voltage leads to studs 9-1, a O-to-1 ohms rheostat across studs 3 4, and a continuity indicating lamp across studs 1-2. TIme-delay link is placed on OUT position. Set resistance to maximum. Insert test plug; voltage should be set to 79 to 81 percent of rated voltage. Reset relay by depressing the microswitch. The variable resistance Is gradually decreased from 1 ohms. Unit A should pick up and set the AY unit (continuity light on),just at the zero ohm point. If pickup is too high (unit A plunger does not pick up when zero is reached), knurled armature is turned counterclockwise as viewed from the top. Similarly, if pickup is too low (unit A plunger picks up before zero is reached) knurled armature is turned clockwise as viewed from the top. After the setting is made, increase resistance to maximum, and reset the unit. Repeat decreasing resistance gradually to see if unit picks up without further adjustment. Correct calibration occurs when gradual resistance reduction to zero will cause the relay to operate for five suc cessive tries without readjustment. As a final check, 55 ohms is suddenly applied across studs 3 4. Unit A should not pick up. Since the last edition, FIgure 8 has been changed. 1
