CAUTION
Before
putting
protective
relays
into
service
make
sure
that
all
moving
parts
operate
freely
,
inspect
the
contacts
to
see
that
they
are
clean
and
close
properly
,
and
operate
the
relay
to
check
the
settings
and
electrical
connections
.
APPLICATION
The
KD
-
3
relay
(
Figure
l
)
is
a
single
phase
impedance
type
relay
connected
to
receive
phase
-
to
-
neutral
voltage
and
phase
current
and
may
be
applied
as
a
supplement
to
conventional
two
-
zone
or
three
-
zone
distance
relaying
.
It
has
provisions
for
a
completely
offset
circle
characteristic
with
both
the
long
reach
and
the
short
reach
adjustable
.
In
KD
relay
applications
where
a
normal
second
zone
or
third
zone
setting
of
the
three
-
phase
unit
might
cause
tripping
because
of
possible
load
conditions
,
the
conventional
relay
settings
must
be
shortened
to
exclude
load
.
The
KD
-
3
displaced
circle
characteris
-
tic
may
be
added
to
the
KD
relay
three
-
phase
unit
shortened
circle
characteristic
to
provide
the
desired
total
reach
at
the
line
angle
without
danger
of
tripping
on
load
.
The
KD
phase
-
to
-
phase
unit
does
not
respond
to
balanced
three
phase
conditions
and
therefore
can
be
set
for
any
distance
without
fear
of
tripping
on
load
or
swing
conditions
.
The
KD
-
3
relay
is
available
with
either
a
1
ampere
or
a
0.2
/
2.0
ampere
indicating
contactor
switch
rating
.
The
1
ampere
rating
is
recommended
for
all
directional
comparison
applications
and
for
most
distance
relaying
applications
.
The
0.2
/
2.0
ampere
rating
is
recommended
for
distance
relaying
where
a
lockout
relay
is
ener
-
gized
or
where
a
high
impedance
auxiliary
tripping
relay
is
utilized
.
CONSTRUCTION
The
type
KD
-
3
relay
consists
of
two
single
air
gap
transformers
(
compensators
)
,
two
tapped
auto
-
transformers
,
a
cylinder
type
operating
unit
,
an
adjustable
reactor
and
an
ICS
indicating
contactor
switch
.
