APPLICATION
Rheostat
and
Scale
Plate
The
rheostat
(
T
)
provides
a
variable
resistance
for
the
R
-
C
time
delay
circuit
.
It
is
of
wire
-
wound
construction
,
which
minimizes
resistance
change
with
temperature
.
Do
not
remove
the
knob
from
the
rheostat
shaft
,
since
it
is
not
easy
to
replace
the
knob
in
the
calibrated
position
.
The
timing
scale
is
non
-
linear
as
explained
in
the
section
under
Printed
Circuit
.
The
type
TD
-
5
relay
is
used
in
timing
applications
where
accuracy
,
repeatability
and
fast
reset
are
required
.
Its
principal
use
is
in
time
delayed
distance
relaying
and
in
breaker
failure
timing
applications
.
It
is
a
dc
relay
capable
of
direct
application
to
station
batteries
.
It
covers
0.05
to
30
seconds
in
4
different
ranges
.

Potentiometer
The
potentiometer
(
P
)
,
provides
a
biasing
voltage
which
keeps
the
silicon
controlled
rectifier
(
SCR
)
turned
off
until
the
capacitor
voltage
reaches
the
potentiometer
brush
voltage
.
It
is
of
wire
-
wound
construction
and
has
a
locking
nut
which
should
not
be
loosened
unless
the
relay
is
be

re
-
calibrated
.
CONSTRUCTION
The
type
TD
-
5
relay
consists
of
a
reference
voltage
circuit
,
a
rheostat
(
T
)
and
scale
plate
,
a
voltage
biasing
potentiometer
(
P
)
,
a
printed
circuit
containing
static
timing
components
,
an
output
telephone
relay
(
TR
)
,
and
an
indicating
contactor
switch
(
ICS
)
.
An
auxiliary
relay
(
TX
)
is
supplied
on
some
types
to
override
bounce
of
the
initiating
contact
.
Printed
Circuit
The
printed
circuit
contains
a
diode
(
Dj
)
which
protects
the
static
components
in
case
the
relay
is
connected
with
reverse
polarity
,
a
limiting
timing
resistor
(
RjJ
,
timing
capaci
-
tor
(
C
)
,
a
parallel
resistor
(
Rp
)
which
makes
the
calibrating
scale
non
-
linear
,
and
a
silicon
controlled
rectifier
(
SCR
)
.
The
printed
circuit
also
contains
a
diode
(
D
2
)
to
reverse
bias
Reference
Voltage
Circuits
The
reference
voltage
circuit
provides
a
fixed
supply
voltage
to
the
R
-
C
time
delay
circuit
and
protects
the
static
components
from
high
voltages
.
It
consists
of
a
silicon
power
regulator
and
a
