V1431-1 Universal Relay Trainer

Description

V1431-1 Universal Relay Trainer is intended for practical training in static relays and relay protection engineering for applications in power systems.

The Universal Relay Trainer MV 1431-1 is an integrated training system including different kinds of static relays, which are common in relay protection systems around the world.

The static relays used in the experiment unit belong to the well-known ABB COMBIFLEX relay system.

The Universal Relay Trainer MV 1431-1 does not only include static relays, it also contains a current transformer, a voltage transformer and an internal power supply. These components are all fitted into a sturdy steel cabinet with a front panel on which all sub units can be connected using either 4 mm safety sockets or 2 mm signal plug terminals. The choice of 2 mm signal plug terminals makes the unit compact and suitable for experiments with the trainer standing on a table.

Mimic diagrams of the relays with large clear symbols are printed on the front panel. Sockets are also provided for test objects.

The rack carries a selection of the static relays used in modern electric power systems.

Following relays are provided:

  1. Microprocessor operated double over- and undervoltage relay
  2. Microprocessor operated double over current relay
  3. Microprocessor operated multi-function directional / reverse power relay
  4. Instantaneous over current relay
  5. Two types of auxiliary output relays
  6. Multirange time-lag relay
  7. Flag / signal relay, double unit

Built-in are also:

  • One current transformer
  • One voltage transformer
  • Internal power supply

The laboratory manual for the Universal Relay Trainer MV 1431-1 covers from basic operation principles of each relay up to giving an introduction to the theory and the practical handling of typical situations where static relays are used to protect certain objects in for instance a power plant.

The protected object may for example be a transformer, a generator, a bus bar or a feeder.

The focus of the proposed experiments is not only the different measuring relays, but the surrounding auxiliary relays are also described and used to build a relay protection.

From the basic operation principles, which can be understood by the experiments, the students obtain knowledge about how relay protection systems are built and how they will work in different situations.
