INTRODUCTION
This
supplement
in
conjunction
with
GEK-1253
forms
instructions
for
the
CHC12A
relay.
All
in-
formation
pertinent
to
the
CHC12A
relay
but
not
covered
by
this
supplement
isasshowninGEK-1253.
The
CHC
l2A
relay
is
a
three-phase
high
speed
nondirectional
overcurrent
relay.
The
relay
con-
sists
of
an
induction
cup
unit
(PFD),
a
target
unit,
and
a
telephone-type
seal-in
unit
mounted
in
an
S-2
size
drawout
case.
The
CHC13A
is
similar
to
the
CHC12A
except
for
the
contact
circuit
arrangement.
The
CHC13A
(PFD)
operates
an
auxiliary
telephone
relay
which
provides
two
normally
open
electrically
separate
contacts.
A
target
is
wired
in
one
of
these
contact
circuits.
This
auxiliary
relay
occupies
the
same
position
as
the
seal-in
unit
in
the
CHCI2A.
The
auxiliary
relay
is
a D.C.
continuously
rated
unit
that
draws
less
than
5
watts.
The
CHC
l3B
is
similar
to
the
CHC13A
except
for
internal
connection.
The
main
operating
unit
of
this
relay
is
similar
in
construction
except
for
the
moving
element
stop
screw,
and
has
the
same
operating
characteristics,
as
the
PFD
unit
of
the
CHCllA
relay
described
in
the
attached
GEH-2035.
APPLICA
TION
The
CHC12
relay
is
designed
for
use
as
a
cur-
rent
fault
detector
in
connection
with
distance
relays,
to
prevent
operation
of
the
associated
timer,
or
tripping
of
the
circuit
breaker
due
to
loss
of
relay
potential
supply
for
other
reasons
than
a
system
fault.
This
can
occur
due
to
(1)
short
circuits
or
open
circuits
involving
the
potential
supply,
or
(2)
due
to
switching
(with
some
configurations
of
power
circuits),
or
(3)
due
to
the
use
of
line-side
potential
supply.
In
the
latter
case,
the
fault
detector
pro-
tects
the
timer
against
burnout,
and
prevents
false
re-tripping
of
the
circuit
breaker
at
the
instant
of
reclosure.
The
case
size
and
internal
connections
are
arranged
to
provide
mechanical
and
electrical
inter-
changeability
with
the
PJC31C
or
D.
The
advantage
of
the
CHC
over
the
PJC
is
that
it
is
designed
to
permit
operation
in
the
picked
up
position,
so
that
it
can
be
used
where
the
maximum
load
current
exceeds
the
mlnlmUm
fault
current.
During
load
conditions
which
pick
up
the
CHC,
it
cannot
perform
function
(1)
above,
and
it
mayor
may
not
perform
function
(2)
above
(depending on
whether
the
con-
nections
are
such
as
to
pick
up
the
CHC),
but
it
will
always
perform
function
(3).
The
relay
includes
a
separate
target
and
seal-in
unit
operated
from
trip
current.

seal-in

RECALmRA
TION
The
moving
contact
stop
screw
assembly
of
this
relay
is
on
the
left
rear
section
of
the
moulded
head
directly
behind
the
stationary
contact.
The
contact
gap
of
the
PFD
is
0.020
inch.
This
gap
is
set
at
the
factory
and
it
normally
will
not
be
necessary
to
reset
it.
However,
if
an
inspection
indicates
that
this
setting
has
been
disturbed
the
following
procedure
is
recommended.
a.
Remove
the
rear
ball
stop
assembly.
b.
Loosen
the
locking
screw
of
the
contact
stop
screw
assembly
and
advance
the
stop
screw
until
the
moving
contact
arm
is
parallel
to
the
sides
of
the
cup
unit.
These
instructions
do
not
purport
to
cover
all
details
or
variations
in
equipment
nor
to
provide
for
every
possible
contingency
to
be
met
in
connection
with
installation,
operation
or
maintenance.
Should
further
information
be
desired
or
should
particular
probleTf15
arise
which
are
not
covered
sufficiently
for
the
purchaser's
purposes,
the
matter
should
be
referred
to
the
General
Electric
Company.

c.
Advance the
stationary
contact
assembly
until
it
just
touches
the moving
contact.
A
neon
lamp
connected
across
terminals
1
and
12
is
best
suited
for
this
purpose.
d.
Tighten
the
clamping
screw
so
that
the
stationary
contact
is
secure.
e.
Back
off
the
stop
screw
until
the
measured
gap
is
0.020 inch between the
stationary
and moving
contacts.
(It
should
be noted
that
0.020 inch
corresponds
to
approximately
two-thirds
of a
turn
on the
stop
screw).
f.
Tighten
the locking
screw
of the moving
contact
assembly
stop
screw
in
this
posi-
tion.
Care
should be
taken
so
as
not to
disturb
the
contact
adjustment
and
it
should
be
noted
that
the locking
screw
bears
on
the
moving
contact
stop
assembly
support.
With
the
connections
of
Fig.
6 of
this
supple-
ment,
set
the
current
of the cup
unit
at
the
mini-
mum pickup
value
and
adjust
the
control
spring
as
described
under
SETTINGS, in the
attached
,.
GEK-12
53
to
obtain
pickup.
Replace
the
rear
ball
stop
assembly
and
advance
it
slightly,
making
sure
that
the moving
contact
arm
does
not
touch
the
rear
ball
stop
assembly
when
it
is
pushed
by hand to
close
and wipe
in
on the
stationary
contact.
Now,
change
the
current
to
1.5
times
the
minimumjlickup
current.
By
means
of
switch
S
(Fig.
6), apply
current
suddenly
and
observe
whether
the
cup
unit
contacts
bounce
open. A neon
light
connected
across
terminals
1
and
12
is
best
suited
for
this
purpose.
If
there
is
no
visible
contact
bounce,
tighten
the
clamping
screw
to
hold
the
ball
stop
assembly
in
position.
If
the
..

the

assembly
carefully
until
there
is
no
contact
bounce
when
current
is
suddenly
applied.
Be
sure
not to
advance
the
assembly
excessively,
as
it
will
change
the
cup
unit
pickup. (The moving
contact
arm
should
touch the
rear
ball
stop
assembly
after
the
front
contact
closes
and
wipes
in
at
least
0.005 inch),
To
make
sure
the
rear
ball
stop
assembly
is
not
advanced
excessively,
reduce
the
current
through
the
relay
to
the
minimum
pick
up
value.
The
relay
should
operate
to
close
its
contacts
at
that
value.
The pickup of the cup
unit
may be changed in
the
manner
described
under
SETTINGS of
PFD
in
attached
GEK-1253.
With the
connections
of
Fig.
6, the
clutch
should
be
adjusted
to
slip
at
approximately
20
amperes.
The
clutch
sUpping
point
may
be changed
by
turning
the
clutch
adjusting
screw.
Turning
the
3~rew
clockwise
will
cause
the
clutch
to
slip
at
a
hlgh~r
value
of
current.
Be
sure
to
tighten
the
lockmg
nut, but be
careful
not to
disturb
the
clutch.
