Q

WHAT IS A VERIFICATION RELAY?

A

IT VERIFIES THE POWER SYSTEM CONDITION WITH RESPECT TO PRESCRIBED LIMITS AND TO INITIATE/PERMIT AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS OTHER THAN OPENING A CIRCUIT BREAKER DURING FAULT CONDITIONS.

Q

WHAT IS AN IDENTIFIER OF A VOLTAGE SENSITIVE ELECTROMAGNET?

A

FINE COPPER WIRE WITH MANY TURNS.

17
Q

WHAT IS (ICS) AND WHAT IS IT’S FUNCTION?

A

IT IS THE INDICATING CONTACTOR SWITCH AND IT’S CONTACTS OFFER A LOW RESISTANCE CURRENT PATH FOR THE DC TRIP CURRENT AND PROVIDE A SEAL-IN FUNCTION UNTIL THE BREAKER CLEARS. THE ICS IS CONNECTED IN PARALLEL ACTING AS A SHUNT REMOVING THE HEAVY TRIP CURRENT FROM THE SPIRAL SPRING

18
Q

WHAT DOES S.O.E. MEAN AND WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE INFORMATION?

A

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS AND THEY CAN BE FOUND ON SCADA/PSS WONDERWARE.

19
Q

WHAT IS RTD AND WHERE WOULD ONE BE FOUND?

A

RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DEVICE AND IN A CRITICAL TEMPERATURE AREA OF AN APPARATUS.

20
Q

WHAT RELAY IS USED FOR INTERNAL FAULTS OF A TRANSFORMER?

A

THE 87 DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTIVE RELAY.

21
Q

WHAT CAUSES A 63 (PRESSURE SWITCH)

A

INTERNAL TRANSFORMER FAULT THAT CAUSE SUDDEN PRESSURE CHANGES.

22
Q

IS IMPEDANCE MEASURED AT A FAULT OR AT THE (21) DISTANCE RELAY?

A

AT THE RELAY.

23
Q

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A FAULT?

A

INCREASED CURRENT TOWARD THE FAULT
REDUCED VOLTAGE TOWARD THE VAULT
FAULT POWER FLOWS TOWARD THE FAULT
TEMPERATURES RISE IN ELECTRIAL EQUIPMENT

24
Q

WHAT IS THE GENERAL PHILOSOPHY OF RELAY APPLICATION?

A

TO DIVIDE THE POWER SYSTEM INTO PROTECTIVE ZONES WHICH CAN BE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED WITH THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF THE SYSTEM BEING DISCONNECTED.

25
Q

WHICH CONTACT IS NORMALLY OPEN?

A

THE “A” CONTACT

26
Q

WHICH CONTACT IS NORMALLY CLOSED?

A

THE “B” CONTACT

27
Q

HOW FAST ARE HIGH SPEED RELAYS?

A

3 CYCLES OR LESS.

28
Q

EXPLAIN A (59N) NEUTRAL OVER VOLTAGE FAULT AND DRAW THE CIRCUIT?

A

CURRENT IN THE NEUTRAL OF A DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER PRODUCES A VOLTAGE IN THE SECONDARY WHICH OPERATES THE RELAY IF THE VOLTAGE EXCEEDS THE PRE-DETERMINED LEVEL.

29
Q

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 51 AND 51V?

A

THE 51V WILL NOT TRIP ON START-UP BECAUSE THERE IS A VOLTAGE RESTRAINT. HOWEVER WHEN THERE IS AN OVER CURRENT CONDITION THE VOLTAGE WILL DROP OUT CLOSING THE RELAY.

30
Q

WHAT IS THE SENSING DEVICE FOR THE OVER-TEMPERATURE OF THE ARMORTISSEUR WINDINGS?

A

THE CT

31
Q

WHAT ARE 2 REASONS FOR HAVING A (40) FIELD RELAY ON A GENERATOR?

A

SYSTEM INSTABILITY PROTECTION
HEATING OF THE ROTOR PROTECTION

32
Q

WHEN DOES THE (64) GROUND FAULT OPERATE?

A

IF ANY PART OF THE FIELD/ROTOR BECOMES GROUNDED, COMPLETING THE CIRCUIT.

33
Q

HOW CAN YOU KNOW IF A PRINT IS RIGHT?

A

BY PHYSICALLY CHECKING IT AGAINST THE SPECIFIC CIRCUIT.

34
Q

WHY IS THE (63) PRESSURE SWITCH USED?

A

IT PROVIDES A MORE SENSITIVE PROTECTION THAN THE 87
