CONSTRUCTION
The
induction
unit
is
the basic
unit
in
all
IAC
relays
.
These
units
are
of
the
induction
-
disk
con
-
struction
type
.
The
disk is actuated
by
a
current
operating
coil
on
a
laminated
U
-
magnet
.
The
disk
shaft
carries
the
moving
contact
which
completes
the
alarm
or
trip
circuit
when
it
touches
the
stationary
contact
.
The
disk
shaft
is restrained
by
a
spiral
spring
to
give
the
proper
contact
-
closing
current
and its
motion
is
retarded
by
a
permanent
magnet
acting
on
the disk
to
give
the
correct
time
delay
.
There
is
a
seal
-
in
unit mounted
on
the
front
to
the left
of
the
shaft
.
This
unit
has its
coil
in
series
and
its
contacts
in
parallel
with the
main
contacts
such
that
when the
main
contacts
close
the
seal
-
in
unit
picks
up
and
seals
in
.
When
the
seal
-
in
unit
picks
up
,
it
raises
a
target
into view
which
latches
up
and
remains
exposed
until released
by pressing
a
button
beneath
the lower left
corner
of
the
cover
.
The
standard
instantaneous
unit is
a
small instantaneous
hinge
-
type
unit
mounted
on
the
right
front
side
of
the
induction
unit
.
Its
contacts
are
normally
connected
in
parallel
with
the
contacts
of
the
main
unit
.
Its
coil
is
connected
in
series with the
operating
coil
of
the
main
unit
.
When
the
current
reaches
a
predetermined
value
,
the
instantaneous
unit
operates
,
closing
the
contact
and
raising
its
target
into
view
.
The
target
latches
in
the
exposed
position
until
released
by
pressing
the
button
beneath
the
lower left
-
hand
corner
of
the
relay
cover
.
The
special
high
dropout
instantaneous
unit is
constructed without
a
target
,
and
is
designed
to
drop
-
out
at
80
percent
of
pickup
,
or
higher
.
The
pole piece
is
constructed and secured
with
a
special
wave
washer
so
that
it
can
be
rotated
to
the
most
favorable
position
.
The
armature
has
been
shortened
for
the
same
purpose
.
This unit
is
mounted
in
the
rear
of
the
relay
.
Its
coil
is
connected
in
series
with
the
operating
coil
of
the
main
unit
but
its
contact
is
electrically
separate
.
RECEIVING
,
HANDLING
AND
STORAGE
These
relays
,
when
not
included
as
a
part
of
a
control
panel
,
will
be
shipped
in
cartons
designed
to
protect
them
against
damage
.
Immediately
upon
receipt
of
the
relay
,
an
examination
should
be
made
for
any
damage
sustained
during
shipment
.
If
injury
or
damage
resulting
from
rough
handling
is
evident
,
a
claim
should
be
filed
at
once
with the
transportation
company
and
the
nearest
Sales
Office
of
the
General
Electric
Company
notified
promptly
.

Reasonable
care
should
be
exercised
in
unpacking
the
relay
in
order
that
none
of
the
parts
are
injured
or
the
adjustments
disturbed
.
If
the
relays
are
not
to
be
installed
immediately
,
they
should
be
stored
in
their
original
cartons
in
a
place
that
is
free
from
moisture
,
dust
,
and
metallic
chips
.
Foreign
matter
collected
on
the
outside
of
the
case
may
find
its
way
inside
when
the
cover
is
removed
and
cause
trouble
in
operation
of
the
relay
.
ACCEPTANCE
TESTS
Immediately
upon
receipt
of
the
relay
an
INSPECTION
AND
ACCEPTANCE
TEST
should
be
made
to
ensure
that
no
damage
has
been
sustained
in
shipment
and
that
the
relay
calibrations
have
not
been
disturbed
.
If
the
examination
or
test
indicates
that
readjustment
is
necessary
,
refer
to
the
section
on
SERVICING
.
These
tests
may
be
performed
as
part
of
the
installation
or
acceptance
tests
at
the
discretion
of
the
user
.
VISUAL
INSPECTION
Check
the
nameplate
stamping
to
ensure
that
the
model
number
and
rating
of
the
relay
agree
with
the
requisition
.
Remove
the
relay
from
its
case
and
check
that
there
are
no
broken
or
cracked
molded
parts
or
other
signs
of
physical
damage
,
and
that
all
screws
are
tight

EVERY
CIRCUIT
IN
THE
DRAWOUT
CASE
HAS
AN
AUXILIARY
BRUSH
.
IT
IS
ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT
ON
CURRENT
DRAWOUT
RELAYS
GENERAL
Since
all
drawout
relays
in
service
operate
in
their
cases
,
it
is
recommended
that
they
be
tested
in
their
cases
or
an
equivalent
steel
case
.
In
this
way
,
any
magnetic
effects
of
the
enclosure
will
be
accurately
duplicated
during
testing
.
A
relay
may
be
tested
without
removing
it
from
the
panel
by
using
a
12
XLA
13
A
test
plug
.
This
plug
makes
connections
only
with
the
relay
and
does
not
disturb
any
shorting
bars
in
the
case
.
The
12
XLA
12
A
test
plug
may
also
be
used
.
Although
this
test
plug
allows
greater
testing
flexibility
,
it
requires
CT
shorting
jumpers
and
the
exercise
of
greater
care
,
since
connections
are
made
to
both
the
relay
and
the
external
circuitry
.
POWER
REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL
All
alternating
-
current
operated
devices
are
affected
by
frequency
.
Since
non
-
sinusoidal
waveforms
can
be
analyzed
as
a
fundamental
frequency
plus
harmonics
of
the
fundamental
frequency
,
it
follows
that
alternating
-
current
devices
(

will
be
affected
by
the
applied
waveform
.
Therefore
,
in
order
to
properly
test
alternating

current
relays
it
is
essential
to
use
a
sine
wave
of
current
and

or
voltage
.
The
purity
of
the
sine
wave
(
i

its
freedom
from

)
cannot
be
expressed
as
a
finite
number
for
any
particular

,
however
,
any
relay
using

circuits
,
R

L
or
RC
networks
,
or
saturating
electromagnets
(
such
as

would
be
essentially
affected
by
non

should
be
inspected
for
tarnished
contacts
,
loose
screws
,
or
other
imperfections
.
If
any
trouble
is
found
,
it
should
be
corrected
in
the
manner
described
under
MAINTENANCE
.
CAUTION
:
EVERY
CIRCUIT
IN
THE

HAS
AN
AUXILIARY
BRUSH
.
IT
IS
ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT
ON
CURRENT
CIRCUITS
AND
OTHER

PERIODIC
CHECKS
AND
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE
In
view
of
the
vital
role
of
protective
relays
in
the
operation
of
a
power
system
,
it
is
important
that
a
periodic
test
program
be
followed
.
It
is
recognized
that
the
interval
between
periodic
checks
will
vary
depending
upon
environment
,
type
of
relay
and
the
user
’
s
experience
with
periodic
testing
.
Until
the
user
has
accumulated
enough
experience
to
select
the
test
interval
best
suited
to
his
individual
require
-
ments
,
it
is
suggested
that
the
points
listed
below
be
checked
at
an
interval
of
once
a
year
.
*
These
tests
are
intended
to
ensure
that
the
relays
have
not
deviated
from
their
original
settings
.
If
deviations
are
encountered
,
the
relay
must
be
retested
and
serviced
as
described
in
this
manual
.

CONTACT
CLEANING
For
cleaning
relay
contacts
,
a
flexible
burnishing
tool
should
be
used
.
This
consists
of
a
flexible
strip
of
metal
with
an
etched
-
roughened
surface
resembling
in
effect
a
superfine
file
.
The
polishing
action
is
so
delicate
that
no
scratches
are
left
,
yet
it
will
clean
off
any
corrosion
thoroughly
and
rapidly
.
Its
flexibility
ensures
the
cleaning
of
the
actual
points
of
contact
.
Do
not
use
knives
,
files
,
abrasive
paper
or
cloth
of
any
kind
to
clean
relay
contacts
.
SYSTEM
TEST
Although
this
instruction
book
is
primarily
written
to
check
and
set
the
IAC
relay
,
overall
functional
tests
to
check
the
system
operation
are
recommended
at
intervals
based
on
the
customer

Pickup
Tests
The
current
at
which the
contacts
operate
1
s
determined
by
the
position
of
the
tap
plug
in
the
tap
block
at
the
top
of
the
relay
.
Screw
the
tap
plug
firmly
into
the
tap
marked
for
the desired
current
(
below
which the
unit is
not
to
operate
)
.
When
changing
the
current
setting
of
the unit
,
remove
the
connecting
plug
to
short
circuit
the
current
transformer
secondary
circuit
.
Next
,
screw
the
tap
plug
into
the
tap
marked
for
the
desired
current
and
then
replace
the
connecting
plug
.
The
pickup
of
the
unit
for
any
current
tap
is
adjusted
by
means
of
a
spring
-
adjusting
ring
.
The
ring
may
be
turned
by
inserting
a
screw
driver
in
the
notches
around
the
edge
.
By
turning
the
ring
,
the
operating
current
of
the unit
may
be
brought
into
agreement
with the
tap
setting employed
,
if
for
some reason
,
this
adjustment
has
been
disturbed
.
This
adjustment
also
permits
any
desired
setting
Intermediate between
the
various
tap
settings
to
be obtained
.
Time
Setting
The
setting
of
the time
dial
determines
the
length
of
time the
unit
requires
to
close its
contacts
when
the
current
reaches
a
predetermined
value
.
The
contacts
are
just
closed
when
the dial
is
set
on
zero
.
When
the
dial
is
set
on
10
,
the
disk
must
travel
the
maximum
amount
to
close
the
contacts
and
therefore this
setting gives
the
maximum time
setting
.
The
primary
adjustment
for
the time
of
operation
of
the unit is made
by
means
of
the
time
dial
.
However
,
further
adjustment
is
obtained
by moving
the
permanent
magnet
along
its
supporting
shelf
;
moving
the
magnet
toward
the
disk shaft decreases
the
time
,
while
moving
it
away
increases
the
time
.
STANDARD

piece
,
loosen
the
locknut
and
turn
it
up
or

This
adjustment
can
be
made
by
loosening
the

DROPOUT
INSTANTANEOUS
UNIT
The
high

dropout
,
instantaneous
unit is
similar
to
the
standard
,
instantaneous
unit
except
it
has
no
target
and
dropout
current
is
approximately
80
percent
of
the
pickup
current
.
Fig
.
5
is
a
picture
of
the
high
dropout
unit
.
The
adjustable
core
(
A
)
sets
the
pickup
level
.
Turning
the
core
down
(
clockwise
,
top
view
)
lowers
the
pickup
,
while
turning
the
core
up
(
counterclockwise
,
top
view
)
increases
the
pickup
.
Before
attempting
to
turn
the
core
,
the locknut
(
B
)
must
be
loosened
.
After
adjusting
the
core
,
the locknut
must
be
retightened
.
When
loosening
or
tightening
the locknut
,
the
sleeve
(
C
)
to
which
the
shading
ring
(
D
)
is
attached
must
be
held
to
prevent
it
from
turning
.
Rotation
of
the
shading ring
sets
the
dropout
level and
thereby
determines
the
quietness
of
operation
in
the
picked
up
position
.
The
core
has
been
factory
set
to
obtain
80
percent
dropout
at
the
minimum
setting
.
Should
it
be
necessary
to
change
the
dropout
setting
,
the
sleeve
(
C
)
to
which
the
shading
ring
(
D
)
is
attached
must
always
be
turned
in
the
clockwise
direction
(
top
view
)
.
This
will
prevent
the
sleeve
and
shading
ring
assembly
from
being
loosened
.
The unit
will
pickup
at
the
