DESCRIPTION
The
IFD
51
D
relay
is
an
induction
disk
ground
differential
relay
.
It
was
designed
specifically
to
provide
differential
protection
for
single
phase
-
to
-
ground
faults
in
the
wye
connected
winding
of
a
power
transformer
and
the
leads
to
its
associated
circuit
breaker
.
The
IFD
51
D
relay
is
shock
resistant
and
is
supplied
complete
with
target
in
a
standard
M
2
drawout
case
.
The
internal
connections
and
the
outline
and
dimensions
are
illustrated
in
Figures

respectively
.
APPLICATION
The
IFD
51
D
was
specifically
designed
to
provide
differential
protection
for
single
-
phase
-
to
-
ground
faults
in
the
zone
from
the
wye
connected
winding
and
its
associated
circuit
breaker
.
This
zone
includes
the
transformer
wye
winding
itself
.
The
IFD
is
principally
intended
for
application
on
transformers
where
the
neutral
is
grounded
through
a
resistor
which
limits
the
single
phase
-
to
-
ground
fault
currents
to
a
range
of
200
-
2000
amperes
.
However
,
it
may
also
be
applied
to
solidly
grounded
transformers
if
the
neutral
CT
is
of
good
quality
and
has
the
same
ratio
as
the
circuit
breaker
CT
'
s
so
that
no
auxiliary
CT
is
required
.
The
power
transformer
winding
with
which
the
relay
is
associated
must
have
its
own
neutral
lead
as
illustrated
in
the
external
connection
of
Figure
5
.
That
is
to
say
,
that
the
power
transformer
cannot
be
an
auto
-
transformer
nor
can
it
be
a
wye
-
delta
-
wye
bank
with
a
common
neutral
terminal
for
both
windings
.
An
auxiliary
CT
is
normally
required
to
match
the
ratio
between
the
circuit
breaker
CT
'
s
and
the
transformer
neutral
CT
.
The
ratio
of
this
auxiliary
CT
can
be
evaluated
by
dividing
the
ratio
of
the
circuit
breaker
CT
‘
s
(
on
the
tap
used
)
by
the
ratio
of
the
neutral
CT
.
The
purpose
of
the
instantaneous
unit
in
the
IFD
51
D
is
to
make
the
relay
shock
resistant
The
pick
-
up
setting
of
the
instantaneous
unit
should
be
set
so
that
it
does
not
reduce
the
sensitivity
of
the
protection
.
Since
the
basic
sensitivity
of
the
main
unit
of
the
relay
is
0.5
or
1.0
amperes
,
it
is
suggested
that
the
setting
of
the
instantaneous
unit
be
in
the
range
of
0.5
to
1.0
amperes
.
As
indicated
in
the
section
under
CHARACTERISTICS
,
the
IFD
51
D
may
be
set
for
12.5
or
25
percent
slope
.
With
the
12.5
percent
slope
setting
,
the
main
unit
will
pick
up
at
about
0.5
amperes
in
the
operating
coil
with
no
current
in
any
restraint
coil
.
With
the
25
percent
slope
,
the
current
required
to
produce
operation
increases
to
about
1
ampere
.
The
higher
slope
setting
will
provide
security
against
improper
operation
in
the
event
of
circuit
breaxer
CT
saturation
during
external
multi
-
phase
faults
.
As
indicated
in
the
external
connections
of
Figure
5
,
only
one
IFD
51
D
relay
is
required
for
the
protection
described
.
Also
,
a
source
of
d
-
c
is
required
in
order
for
the
relay
to
trip
the
breaker
.
This
may
either
be
a
station
battery
or
a
capacitor
trip
device
.

INDUCTION
UNIT
The
IFD
51
D
relay
has
an
operating
coil
with
taps
available
for
selecting
either
a
12.5
or
25
percent
slope
.
Percent
slope
is
defined
as
operating
coil
current
required
to
close
contacts
divided
by
restraint
current
flowing
in
two
restraint
coils
multiplied
by
100
percent
.
For
the
purpose
of
this
definition
the
currents
in
the
two
restraint
coils
are
equal
.
With
equal
currents
flowing
in
all
three
restraint
coils
,
the
operating
current
required
to
close
contacts
will
be
approximately
1.23
times
that
required
with
the
same
current
flowing
in
only
two
restraint
coils
.
With
the
operating
coil
set
on
the
12.5
percent
tap
,
the
induction
unit
will
close
its
contacts
at
0.5
amps
with
zero
restraint
current
.
On
the
25
percent
tap
,
operating
current
required
to
close
contacts
with
zero
restraint
is
approximately
twice
that
required
on
the
12.5

or
approximately
1

is
adjustable
over
a
pickup
current
range
of
0

2
amps
by
means
of
an

for
which
the

is
expected
to

.
OPERATING
PRINCIPLES
The
IFD
51
D
relay
induction
unit
has
four
U
-
magnets
operating
on
two
disks
mounted
on a
common
shaft
.
Three
of
the
U
-
Magnets
have
restraining
coils which
drive
the
disk
in
the
contact
opening
direction
.
The
fourth
U
-
Magnet
has
an
operating
coil
which
drives
the
disk
in
the
contact
closing
direction
.
The
induction
unit
will
close its
contacts
when
the
torque
produced
by
the
operating
coil
exceeds
the
sum
of
the
torques
produced
by
the
control
spring
and
the
three
restraining
coils
.
TORQUE
EQUATION
AND
INDUCTION
UNIT
PICKUP
Each
of
the
four
U
-
Magnets
produces
a
torque
proportional
to
the
square
of
the
current
flowing
in
its
operating
coil
,
the
operating
coil
in
the
contact
closing
direction
and
the
restraining
coils
in
the
contact
opening
direction
.
Using
this
fact
plus
the
basic
torque
balance
equation
,
we can
write
an
equation
for
operating
current
in

of
currents
in
the
three
restraining

An
example
of
the
way
the
operating

equation
may
be
used is
as
follows
.
With
the
operating
coil
set
on
the
12.5

the
induction
unit
will
close
its
contacts
with
0

5
amps
in
the
operating
coil
and
zero
restraint
current
(
I

0.5
)
.
The
operating
characteristic
curves
give
an
operating
current
of
about
0.9
amps
with
5
amps
in
three
restraints
.
Plugging
these
values into
the
operating
current
equation
and
solving
for
Kj
,
we
get

Using
these values
of

$
,
we
can
calculate the
operating
current
required
to
close

for
different
conditions
of
restraint
current
.
For
instance
,
using
=
7.47
X
10
~
3
and
1
$
=
0.5
,
the
operating
current
equation
reveals
that the
induction
unit
will
just
close
its
contacts
with
1.32
amps
in
the
operating
coil
and
10

INDUCTION
DISK
UNIT
The
induction
disk unit
consists
of
two
disks
mounted
on
a
common
shaft
driven
by
four
U
-
Magnet
and
coil
assemblies
.
The
lower left
U
-
Magnet
and
coil
is the
operating
coil
,
this
element drives
the
disks
in
the
contact
closing
direction
.
The
operating
coil
is
tapped
so
that
the
relay
may
be
set
for
either
a
12.5
or
25
percent
slope
.
The
operating
coil
tap
may
be
selected
by setting
the
tap
plug
in
the
tap
block
position
indicated
by
the
engraved
tap
plate
.
The
tap
block
is
mounted
above
the
induction
disk
unit
.
The
operating
coil
U
-
Magnet
is
provided
with
fixed
shading
rings
which
provide
the
phase
shift
in
flux
necessary
to
drive
the
disk
.
The other
three
U
-
Magnets
mount
the
restraint
coils
.
These three elements drive the
disk
in
the
contact
opening
direction
.
The
restraint
U
-
magnets
and
coils
are
similar
to
the
operating
U
-
Magnet
and
coil
except
the
restraint
coils
are
untrapped
and the
restraint
U
-
Magnets
use
wound
shading
coils
instead
of
shading
rings
to
produce
the
phase
shifted
flux
necessary
to
drive
the
disk
.
The
wound
shading
coils
of
the
restraint
elements
are
wired
to
three
separate
slide
wire
resistors
mounted
in
the
back
of
the
relay
.
These
resistors
are
used
to
adjust
the basic
torque
characteristic
of
the restraint
elements
.
As
indicated
by
the
internal
connections
diagram
(
Fig
.
1
)
the
bottom resistor
adjusts
the
lower
right
restraint
element
,
the
middle
resistor
adjusts
the
upper
right
,
and
the
top
resistor
adjusts
the
upper
left
restraint
.
The
control
spring
mounted
at
the
top
of
induction disk
unit
is
used
to
adjust
the
operating
coil
current
required
to
close
contacts
with
no
current
in
the
restraints
.
This
control
spring
may
be
adjusted
by
turning
the
notched
adjusting
ring
.
The
time
dial
is
above
the control
spring
.
The
time
dial
is
used
to
increase
the
travel
on
the
disk
and
this increase
operating
time
.
The
time
dial
on
the
IFD
51
D
is
locked
by
two
locking
screws
through
the
top
of
the
frame
.
These
locking
screws
prevent
restraint
torque
from
turning
the
time
dial
and
changing
the
operating
time
setting
.
The
relay
time
dial
is
normally
set
and
locked
in
the
1
/
2
position
.
The
induction
disk
unit
is
provided
with
a
drag
magnet
which
serves
to
retard
the
motion
of
the
disk
to
give
the
correct
time
delay
.

file
a
damage
claim
at
once
with
the
transportation
company
and
promptly
notify

Since

be
analyzed
as
a

plus
harmonics
of

,
it
follows
that

be
affected

.
Therefore
,
in
