KCC112x - AC GENERATOR CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL GUARD
- Generator Stator earth fault Protection
- Winding insulation Protection
- For use with 1A or 5A current transformers
- The Pathfinder eases fault finding
Up to two individual very fast analogue output signals (<50mS), (optional)- DIN96 Slave Indicator (scaled 0-40%In) with status LEDs (optional)
Description
KCC112x protects against phase-, earth- and winding faults within the
protected area (the stator) of large AC generators. It detects even
minute insulation punctures, flash-over carbon deposits and
contamination. The unit measures highest up differential current from
antiparallelled CTs in a Merz-Price configuration, by comparing current
levels at the end of each phase winding.
Alarm trip must be set sufficiently high to ensure that generator magnetisation current does not cause tripping. The alarm delay is to be set so that the initial inrush current have returned to normal level before the delay period elapses. The warning trip level and delay can be set as required to give early warning.
User settable trip levels and delays. Colour of LEDs indicate alarm status. Alarm LEDs flash during count-down.
R1 is used for early warning. R2 or R3 (fail safe) is to be used for
generator breaker trip, the other alarm relay can be used for local
indication input to PMS, alarm system etc.
User settable trip levels and delays. Colour of LEDs indicates
alarm status. LEDs flash during count-down. The meter and the
triple-zone status LEDs at a glance gives the clear safety message:
OUTPUTS
Up to two individual very fast analogue output signals (optional)
proportional to highest up current.
The analogue output is isolated from the CT and auxiliary power.
PATHFINDER FUNCTION
The Pathfinder (only on latching models) indicates the phase causing the trip by flashing pattern of the relevant LED.
