PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The
SBC223
relays
are
static
breaker-failure
relays
designed
to
provide
system
backup
protection
in
the
event
of
a
circuit-breaker
failure.
The
SBC223A
relay
replaces
the
SBZ23A,
the
SBC223B
replaces
the
SBC23B,
and the
SBC223C
replaces
the
SBC23C.
The
relays
are
intended
for
use
in
three-pole
tripping
schemes,
and
meet
the
requirements
of
a
breaker-failure
backup
scheme
-
high
security
and capability
for
fast
clearing
times.
These
relays
are
applicable
with
any
of
the several
bus/breaker
arrangements
in
general
use,
and
over
a
wide
range
of
fault-current
conditions
that
may
be
encountered.
One
type-SBC
relay
is
required
for
each
breaker.
The
SBC223
relays
contain
the
following
basic
components
and
features:
1.
Input
provisions
for
contact
initiation
that
activates
the
power
supply.
2.
A
level
detector
with
independently
adjustable
pickup
settings
for
phase
(Ia,
Ib, Ic)
and
for
ground
(310),
with
a
reset
time
of
approximately
3
milliseconds.
3.
Adjustable timer(s)
to
provide
time for
the primary
breaker
to
operate
correctly.
4.
Three
electrically
separate
contact output
circuits (BFT)
for
tripping
the
circuit
breakers,
with
two
of the
contacts
having
electromechanical
series
targets.
5.
An
electrically
separate
instantaneous
IT
function
for
independent
tripping
of
the
breaker
and
for
seal-in of
the
initiating
contacts.
6.
A
regulated
power-supply.
7.
Surge
suppression
on all
AC and DC
input
circuits.
The
SBC223B
is
similar
to
the
SBC223A relay
except
for
a
contact
convertor
(CC)
input
and
some
additional
logic.
The
SBC223C
is
similar
to
the
SBC223B
except
for
a
second
timer
and
some
additional
1oic.
The
differences
between
the
relays
are
evidenced
in
the
External
Connections
and
Logic
Diagrams
of
the
SBC223A
and
SBC223B
and
SBC223C,
as
shown
in
Figures
1,
2
and
3
respectively.
Under
normal
conditions,
the
SBC
relays
do
not
have
DC
applied.
Thus,
the
SBC
is
normally
immune
to any
response
to
environmental
electrical
transients.
DC
is
applied
only
when
a
fault
occurs
on
a
line
associated
with
the
breaker
being
protected.
The
power
supply
in
these
relays
is
so
designed
that
the
DC
voltage
must
exceed
60% of
the
nominal
voltage
rating
in
order
for
the
relay
to
operate.
This
feature
prevents
false
trips
from
capacitance
discharge
or
from
the voltage-divider
effect
of
the
ground-fault
lamps
on
the
DC
bus
in
the
event
that
the
DC
input terminal
of the
SBC
is
accidentally
grounded.
These
instructions
do
not
purport
to
cover
all
details
or
variations
in
equipment
nor
provide
for
eveiy
possible
contingency
to
he
met
in
connection
with
installation,
operation
or
maintenance. Should
further
information
be
desired
or
should
particular
problems
arise
which
are not
covered
sufficiently
for
the
purcIzaser
purposes,
the
matter
should
be
referred
to
the
General
Electric
Company.
To
the
extent
required
the
products
described
herein meet
applicable
ANS1
IEEE and
NEMA
standards;
but
no such
assurance
is
given
with
respect
to
local
codes
and
ordinances because
they
vary
greatly.

GEK-100636
APPLICATION
The
most
convenient method
of
detecting
that
a
breaker
has failed
to
operate
is
to
allow
time
for
it
to
operate
properly.
If
the
breaker
has
been
unable
to
clear
a
fault
at the end
of
a
preset
time,
the
output
of
the
breaker
failure
relay
would
initiate
tripping
of
the
backup
breakers.
The
basic
components
of
a
breaker
failure
scheme
are
shown
in
Figure
4.
The
heart
of
the
scheme
is
the
timer. The
timer
is
started
by a
breaker
failure
initiating
circuit,
identified
by
BFI.
The
BFI
circuit
is
associated
with
the
breaker
trip
bus
and
it
provides
an
output
whenever
the
protective
relays
attempt
to
trip
the
breaker.
The timer
is
stopped
by
the
resetting
of the
level
detector
or
by
the
resetting
of
the
BFI
circuit.
The
function
of the
level
detector
is
to
indicate
the
position
of the
circuit
breaker.
If
the
breaker
operates
successfully,
the
level
detector
would
reset
and
stop
the
timer.
If
the
breaker
fails
to
operate,
the
level
detector
would
keep
the
timer
energized,
and
after
a
preset
time
delay,
the
timer
would
operate
the
breaker
failure
trip
outputs
(BFT). The BFT
outputs
initiate
the
tripping
of
the
backup
breakers.
The routing of
these outputs
depends
upon
the bus
and
breaker
arrangement
and
will
be
discussed
subsequently.
The
level
detector
is
considered
to
be
the
most
reliable
means
of
determining
the position
of
the
breaker.
When
the
breaker
opens,
the
level
detector
resets,
since
the
current
in
the
breaker
drops
to
zero,
or
in
some
breakers,
to
a
value
determined
by
inserted
resistors.
The
pickup
setting of
the
level
detector
should
he
selected
so
that
the
level
detector
operates
for
all
faults
for
which
the
breaker
is
to be
tripped.
However,
for some
equipment
faults
such
as
turn-to-turn
faults on
transformers,
the
magnitude
of
fault
current
may
not
be
sufficient
to
operate
the
level
detector.
In
this
case
the
breaker
auxiliary
switches
(52/a)
can
be
used
to
indicate
the
breaker
position.
It
should
he
recognized
that
the
position
of
the
breaker
auxiliary
switch
is
not
a
completely
reliable
indication
of
breaker
position,
since
it
indicates
the
position
of
the
breaker
mechanism,
and
not
necessarily
the
state
of
the
breakers
main contacts.
The
general
method
used
to
determine
the
setting
of
the
breaker-failure
timer
involves
a
coordination
of
various
time
delays
as
shown
in
the time
coordination
chart
in
Figure
5.
The
breaker-failure
total
clearing
time
is
the time
between
the
inception of
the
fault
and
its
removal
by
the
backup
breakers;
and
it
must he
less
than the
maximum
allowable fault clearing
time
that
is
required
to
insure
system
stability
and
to
coordinate
with
remote
backup
relays.
Obviously,
the
setting
of
the
breaker-failure
timer
must
be
long
enough
to
allow
for
normal
clearing
of the
fault.
The
timer
setting
should
also
include time
delay
(with
ample
margin)
for
the
level
detector
to
drop
out.
The
margin
factor
provides
security
to
the
scheme
by
accounting
for
such
variables
as
breaker-interrupting
time
in
excess
of
rated
time,
variations
in
the
BFI
pickup
times,
overtravel
of
the timer,
and
possible
variations
in
timer
operation
from
such
causes
as
temperature
change
or
voltage
variations.
*
The
basic
relay
contains
the
following
components
and
features.
1.
Input
provisions
for
a
contact
initiation
that
activates
the relay
power
supply.
This
adds
to
the
security
of
the
scheme
since
the
breaker-failure
relay
is
disconnected
from
all
DC
until
the
associated
protective
relays
attempt
to
trip
the
breaker.
In
general
the
contact
initiation
is
from the
BFI,
62X
and/or
62Y
contacts.
The
BFI
contacts
would
come
from
static
line
relays,
while
the
62X
and
62Y
contacts
would
come
from
electro-mechanical
line relays.
These contacts
will
close
whenever
the
associated
line
relays
produce
a
trip
signal
to
trip
the
breaker.
2.
A
level
detector
(LD)
with
two
independently
adjustable
pickup
settings
for
phase
(IA,
IB,
IC) and
ground
(310)
currents. The
level
detector
has a
fast
dropout
time
of
approximately
3
milliseconds
when
the
input current
is
suddenly
reduced
to
90
percent
of
pickup,
or
less.
(See
Figure
11.)
*
The
output
relays
on
the
SBC
have
a
pickup
time
of
6-10 ms.
and
a
dropout
time
of
3-5
ms.
-4-

GEK-1
00636
3.
A
breaker-failure
timer
(A/U)
to
provide
time
for
the
associated
breaker
to
operate
correctly.
The
timer
is
accurate
with
negligible
overtravel
and
its
pickup
time
is
adjustable
from
10
to
1650
milliseconds
in
10
millisecond
steps.
4.
Three
electrically
separate
contact
outputs
for
tripping
the
backup
breakers.
Two
of
the
outputs
have
electro-mechanical
series
targets.
5.
An
independent
IT
function.
One
of
the
output
contacts
can
be
used
to
apply
a
separate, independent
trip
signal
to
the
breaker
with which
the
SBC
is
associated.
Under
usual
operating
conditions
of
the
SBC,
the
associated
breaker
would
already
have
received
a
trip
signal
from
the
protective
relaying.
The
separate
trip
signal
from
the IT function
provides
an
alternate
chance
to
trip
the
breaker
correctly
in
the
event
of
some
failure
in
the
protective
relay
tripping
circuits.
Unnecessary
tripping
of
the
backup
breakers
can
therefore
he
avoided.
Another
output
of
the
IT
function
can
be
used
to
seal-in
the initiating
contacts
as
described
subsequently.
There
are
three
breaker-failure
relays
available
and
they
are
identified
as
Type
SBC223A,
SBC223B
or
SBC223C.
OPERATION
A
simplified functional
logic
diagram
for
the
SBC223A
relay
is
shown
in
Figure
1.
If
a
fault
occurs,
the
contact initiation
activates
the
relay
power
supply.
Once
the
power
supply
is
activated,
the
level
detector
(LD)
produces
an
output
that
energizes
the
A/U
timer.
If
the
timer
is
energized
longer
than
its
setting,
it
indicates
that
the
breaker
has
failed
to
clear
the
fault.
An
output
from
the
timer
operates
the
BFT
outputs.
If the
breaker
had
cleared
the
fault
then
either
the
contact
initiation
(BFI,
62X,
62Y) or
the
level
detector
would
have
dropped
out
before
the
timer
could
have
timed
out,
and
no
backup
tripping
would
take place.
The
SBC223B
and
SBC223C relays
contain
all
the
components
and
features
of
the
SBC223A relay
plus
some
combination
of
the
optional
features noted
below:
1,
Contact converter
input
to
supervise
the
breaker-failure
timer.
The
function
of the
contact
converter
is
to
convert
a
contact
operation
into
a
signal
that
is
compatible
with
the
logic
circuit of the
Type
SBC
relay.
2.
A
second
timer
that,
in
conjunction
with
the
other
timer,
allows
different
time
settings
depending
on
the
input
conditions.
The
SBC223B
relay
(Figure
2)
contains
all
the
components
of
the
basic scheme
plus
a
contact
converter
(CC).
By
closing
an
external contact
DC
is
supplied
to
the
contact converter.
The
signal
from
the
contact converter
supervises
the
A/O
timer
in
one
of
two
ways,
the
choice
depending
on
the
position
of
the
link
that
precedes
the
timer.
If
the
link
is
placed
in
the AND
position,
the
A/U
timer
is
controlled
by
an
output
from
the
level
detector
AND
an
output
from
the
contact
converter
via
the
AND1
logic
function.
The
timer
will
reset
if
either
the
level
detector
or
the
contact
converter
resets. If
the
link
is
placed
in
the
OR
position,
the
A/U
timer
is
controlled
by
an
output
from
the
level
detector
OR
an
output
from
the
contact converter.
For
this
case
the
A/U
timer
will
reset
only
if
both
the
level
detector
and
the
contact
converter
reset.
It
is
obvious
that
the
resetting
of the
initiating contact
(BFI
or
62X)
will
also
cause the
timer
to
reset.
The
AND
mode
can
be used
by
those
who
desire
short
backup tripping
times
only
for severe
conditions
where
stability
may
be
a
problem,
such
as
three-phase
faults
with a
high
magnitude
of
fault
current.
The
worst
case
occurs
when
all
three
poles
of
the
breaker
fail
to
interrupt
the
circuit.
This can
only
happen
if
the
breaker
mechanism
fails
to
operate.
Since
breaker
auxiliary
switch
52/a
indicates
the
position
of
the
breaker
mechanism,
it
can
be
used
to
energize
the
contact
converter.
For
added
security,
the
level
detector
can
be
set
high
to
limit
its
reach
to
fault locations
where
instability
may
occur.
Hence,
the
A/U
timer
will
stay
energized
only
for
faults
that
produce
-5-.

GEK-100636
sufficient
current
to
activate
the
level
detector
and
where
the
breaker
mechanism
fails
to
operate
as
indicated
by
the
position
of
breaker
auxiliary
switch
52/a.
If
the
breaker
mechanism operates,
breaker
auxiliary
switch
52/a
would
open
and
reset
the
A/U
timer.
It
should
be
recognized
that
the
breaker
can
fail
to
interrupt
the
circuit
even
if
the
breaker
mechanism
operates.
1-lowever,
for
this
case,
it
is
highly
probable
that
only
one of
the
breaker
poles
has
failed
to
interrupt
the
circuit.
Since
it
is
very likely
that
the
continuing
fault
is
a
single-phase-to-ground
fault,
longer
tripping
times
can
he
allowed.
An SBC223A relay
can
be used
as
a
second
breaker-failure
relay
with
a
longer
tripping
time and
a
more
sensitive
level-detector
setting.
The
function
of
this
second
relay
is
to
detect
the
remaining
less
severe
faults
for
which
the
breaker
fails
to
interrupt
the
circuit.
An
example
of
the
use
of
the
OR
mode
is
shown
in
Figure
10,
where
backup
protection
is
provided
for
breaker
1,
which
must
operate
for
transformer
faults
as
well as
for
faults
on
line
A.
The
currents
associated
with
breaker
I
energize
the
level
detector,
which
in
turn
starts
breaker-failure timer
A/U.
Since the
magnitude
of
fault
current
for
some
transformer
faults
may
not
be
sufficient
to
pick up
the
level
detector,
the
contact
converter
input
is
provided
as
another
means
of
starting
the
timer.
The contact
converter
produces
an
output that
starts
breaker-failure
timer
A/0
whenever
the
transformer
differential
auxiliary
relay
(87)
operates.
If
the
breaker
operates
successfully, the
breaker
auxiliary
switch
52/a
would
open
and
reset
the
A/0
timer.
It
should
be
recognized
that
such
a
scheme
is
not completely
reliable,
since the
52/a
contact
is
not
a
positive
indication
of
the
condition
or
position
of
the main
poles
of
the
associated
circuit
breaker.
Depending
upon
the
position
of
the
link
that precedes
ANDI,
the
IT
function
will
be
energized
from
either
the
level
detector
or
from
the
contact converter.
The
SBC223C relay
(Figure
3)
contains
two
timers
(A/U
and
B/U)
and
a
contact
converter. The
purpose
of
having
two
timers
is
to
provide
for
two
different
tripping
times
depending
on
the
input
conditions.
In
effect, the
SBC223C
relay
is
a
combination
of
the
SBC223A
and
SBC223B relays
with
one
level
detector.
The
A/U
timer
is
energized
by
an
output
from the
level
detector.
The
B/U
timer
is
energized
by
an
output
from
the
ANDI
logic
function.
With
the
link
in
the
LD
position,
the
AND1
logic
function
is
in
service and
will
produce
an
output
whenever
there
is
an
output
from
the
leveL
detector
and
the
contact
converter.
This
arrangement
can
be
used
with
breaker
auxiliary
switch
52/a
to
provide
a
short tripping
time
via
the
B/U
timer
if
the
breaker
mechanism
fails
to
operate.
The
level
detector
should
be
set sensitive
enough
to
detect
all
faults
for
which
the
breaker
is
tripped.
If
the
breaker
mechanism
operates
but the
breaker
fails
to
interrupt
the
circuit,
longer
tripping
times
can
be
tolerated
via
the
A/U
timer
since
it
is
highly
probable
that
the
continuing
fault
is
the result of the
failure
of
only
one pole
of
the
breaker,
and
hence
is
a
single-phase-to-ground
fault.
For
this
case
there
would
be
no
output
from
the
B/U
timer
because
the
auxiliary
switch
would
open
and
de-energize
the contact
converter.
However,
the
level
detector
would
keep
the
A/U
timer
energized;
and
after
its
time
delay the
A/U
timer
would
operate
the
BR
contacts
to
initiate tripping
of
the
backup
breakers.
With the
link
in
the
CC
position,
the
AND1
logic
function
will
produce
an
output
whenever
the
contact
converter
produces
an
output.
This
arrangement
provides
two
different
tripping
paths
to
energize the
BFT
contacts.
One
path
is
via
the
level
detector
and
the
A/0
timer. The
other
path
is
via
the
contact
converter
and
the
B/U
timer.
The
use of
this
arrangement
is
found
in
applications
where
a
second
means
is
required,
other
than
the
level
detector,
to
detect
a
breaker-failure
condition.
In
multi-breaker
arrangements
as
shown
in
Figure
lU,
the
fault
currents
on
the
two
circuits
adjacent
to
breaker
1
may
differ greatly
in
magnitude.
The
level
detector
can
be
set
high
to
operate
for
faults
on
line
A
and
high
current
faults
in
the
transformer;
and
the
associated
timer
A/0
can
be
set
for
a
short
tripping
time.
The
contact
converter
can
be
energized
by
the
transformer-differential
auxiliary
relay
(87x)
to
initiate
breaker
backup
protection
for
those
transformer
faults
that
do
not
produce
sufficient
current
to
operate
the
level
detector.
Since
the magnitude
of fault
current
is
not
sufficient
to
operate
the
level
detector,
this
is
not
a
severe
fault,
and
somewhat
longer
tripping
times
can
be
tolerated
via
the
B/U
timer.
Depending upon
the
position
of
the
link
that
precedes
the
IT
function,
the
IT
unit
will
be
energized
either
from
the
level
detector,
or
from
the
contact
converter.

NOTE:
The
pickup
level
of
the
IT
unit
could
be
different
from
the
pickup
level
of
the
BFT
unit.
If
the
IT
unit
is
not
supervised
by
a
timer,
its
pickup
level
will
be
equivalent
to
the
following
equation:
At

The
seal-in
contact provided
by
the
IT
function
is
for
those
who
wish
to
use
such
a
feature.
The
seal-in circuit
has
a
slight
time
delay
to
provide
additional
security
against
seal-in
operations
resulting
from
such
causes
as
surges
or
transients. The
purpose
of
the
seal-in
circuit
is
to
ride
over
contact
bounce
in
the
initiating
contacts
(if
such
bounce
exists)
and
to
maintain
the
DC input
of
the
SBC
in
the event
of
a
zero-voltage
fault
that
results
in
resetting
of
the
initiating
protective
relays
before
the
breaker-failure
timer
can
produce
an
output.
The
seal-in
circuit should
be
used
with
caution,
since
it
can
reduce
the security
of
the scheme
during testing
if
the
level
detector
is
set
to
pick up
below
load
current.
Note that
most
static
line-relaying systems
include
a
seal-in
function
SO
that
the
BFI
contacts
remain
closed
until
the
fault
is
cleared.
For the
SBC223A,B,
or
C,
to
implement
the
Seal-In
feature
with
the
IT
contact
at
Stud
II,
the
JI
connector, located
in
the
upper-left-hand
corner
of
the
backplane
(see
Figure
16),
must
have
a
jumper
connecting terminals
I
and
2.
This
will
no
longer
leave the
IT
contact
isolated.
To
implement
the Seal-In
function
with
Stud
9,
the
JI
connector
must have
a
jumper
connecting
terminals
2
and
3.
This
will
flO
longer
leave
Stud
9
and
the
IT
contact
isolated. Both methods
of
Seal-In
can
be
seen
in
the
External Connection
and
Logic
Diagrams
for
each
relay.
To
eliminate
all
Seal-In function, place
the
jumper
on
JI
connected
to
only
one
terminal
(Do
Not
short
together
any
two
terminals).
This
is
the
configuration
with
which
the
original
SBC23
was
shipped.
The routing
of
the
contact-initiation
inputs
and
the
BFT
outputs
depend
upon
the
bus and
breaker
arrangement.
The static
breaker-failure
relaying
schemes
described
in
this
book
are
intended
for
application
on
a
per-breaker
basis.
That
is,
there
is
one
breaker-failure
relay
associated
with
each
breaker
in
a
bus array.
On
this
basis
the
current
inputs
to
a
breaker-failure
relay
must
come
from
CT’s
that
measure
the
current
in
the
associated
breaker.
The
trip
outputs
must be
routed
to
initiate
the
tripping (or
transferred
tripping)
of
all
backup
breakers
necessary
to
clear the
fault.
The
listing
in
Table
I
covers
the
bus
arrangements that
are
in
common
use
today.
They are
the
single-bus-single-breaker, double-bus-double-breaker,
breaker-and-a-half,
and ring-bus
arrangements,
and
they
are
shown
in
Figures
6, 7,
8
and
9
respectively.
Each
listing
in
Table
I
indicates
the
assumed
fault
location,
the
breaker
which
is
assumed
to
have
failed,
the
contact
initiation
that
activates
the
relay,
and
which
breakers
or
lockout
relays
should
be
tripped
by
the
BFT
contacts.
For
example,
in
a
single-bus-single-breaker
arrangement
(Figure
6),
if
breaker
#2
is
to
he
protected,
the
level
detector
(LD)
receives
the
currents
associated
with
breaker
#2.
The
contact
initiation
is
from
the
protective
relays
of
line
B.
If
breaker
#2
fails
for
a
fault at
Fl, the
breaker-failure
relay
operates
and the BFT
contact
#1
trips
the
bus
lockout
relay.
For
another
example,
consider
the
ring
bus
arrangement
that
is
shown
in
Figure
9.
If
breaker
1
is
to
he
protected,
the
level
detector
receives
the
currents
associated
with
breaker
1.
The
contact
initiation
is
from the
protective
relays
of
line
A
for
a
fault
at
Fl
or
the
protective
relays
of
line
B
for
a
fault
at
F2.
Assuming
breaker
I
fails
for
a
fault
at
Fl,
the
relay
operates
and
the
BFT
contacts
trip
the
following:
BFT
#1
trips
breaker
2
and
BFT
#2
trips
breaker
6;
BFT
#3
trips
the
lockout
relay
that
transfer
trips
breakers
7
and
8
and

Supply
The
power
supply
for
all
SBC223

operates
on
a
range
of
36
to
280
VDC
input.
It
includes
a
circuit
to
shut
down
the
relay
output
if
the
incoming
DC
is
less
than
60%
of
the
rated
DC

is
switch-selectable
by
moving

CALIBRA’iION
Level
Detector
All
SBC
relays
are tested
using
automatic
test
equipment.
There
is
no
need
for
any
calibration
when
the
relay
is
received.
However,
if
the
analog
board
is
replaced,
the
user
does have
the
ability
to
calibrate
the
level-detector
pickup.
This
is
done
by
adjusting
all
timers
to
their
minimum
setting,
powering the
relay,
and
inputting an
rrns
value
of
current
equal
to
that
of
the pickup
setting of
the
phase
or
ground
unit.
If
the
BFT
LED
is
not
on,
adjust
potentiometer
R25
(Phase
unit)
or R24
(Ground
unit),
located
on
the
front
of
the
analog
board,
by
turning
the
screw
in
the
counter-clockwise
direction
until
the
BFT
LED
is
on
continuously.
If
the
BFT
LED
comes
on
as
soon
as
the
current
is
applied,
turn the
screw
in
the
clockwise
direction
until
the
BFT’
LED
goes out,
then
turn
the
screw
in
the
counter-clockwise
direction
until
the
LED
is
on
continuously.
Timer
The timers
for
the
SBC
are
calibrated
at
the
factory and
should
not
need
any
adjustment.
Reset
Timer
The
reset
timer
for
the
SBC
is
a
permanent

HARDWARE
DESCRIPTION
CONSTRUCTION
The
components
of
the
relay
are
mounted
on
a
cradle
assembly
that
can easily
be
removed
from
the
relay
case,
refer
to
Figures
14
through
17.
The cradle
is
locked
in
the case
by
latches
at
the
top and
bottom.
The
electrical
connections
between
the
case
blocks
and
the
cradle
blocks
are
completed
through
removable connection
plugs,
as
shown
in
Figure
18,
to
permit
testing the
relay
in
its
case.
The
cover
is
attached
to
the
front
of
the
case
and includes
two
interlocking
arms
that
prevent
the
cover
from
being
replaced
until
the
connection
plugs
have
been
inserted.
The
case
is
suitable
for
semi-flush
mounting
on
panels.
Hardware
is
available
for
all
panel
thicknesses up
to
two
inches.
A
panel

RECEIVING,
HANDLING
AND
STORAGE
This
relay
contains
electronic
components
that
could
be
damaged
by
electrostatic
discharge
currents
if
those
currents
flow
through
certain
terminals of
the
components.
The
main
source of
electrostatic
discharge
currents
is
the human
body,
and the
conditions
of
low
humidity,
carpeted
floors
and
isolating
shoes
are
conducive
to
the
generation
of
electrostatic
discharge
currents.
Where
these conditions
exist,
care
should
be exercised
when
removing and
handling
the
modules.
The
persons
handling
the
module
should
make
sure
that
their
body
charge
has
been
discharged,
by
touching
some
surface
at
ground
potential,
before
touching
any
of
the
components
on
the
modules.
These
relays,
when
not
included
as
part
of
a
control
panel,
will
be
shipped
in
cartons
designed
to
protect
them against
damage.
Immediately
upon
receipt
of
a
relay,
examine
it
for
any
damage
sustained
in
transit.
If
damage
resulting
from
handling
is
evident,
file a
damage
claim
at
once
with
the
transportation
company
and
promptly
notify the
nearest General
Electric
Sales Office.
If
the
relays
are
not
to
be
installed
immediately,
they
should
be
stored
in
their
original
cartons,
and
in
a
place
that
is
free
from
moisture,
dust
and
metallic
chips.
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
The
relay
should be
installed
in a
clean,
dry
location,
free from
dust and
excessive
vibration.
It
should
be
mounted
on
a
vertical
surface.
The

GENERAL
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
requirements,
it
is
suggested
that
the
following
points be
checked
at
an
interval
of
from
one
to
two
years.

SERVICING
CAUTION
Power
Down
the

by
removing
the
test
plugs
before
removing
or
inserting
modules.
Failure
to
do
so
can
permanently
damage
the
relay.
SPARES
There
are
two
basic
approaches
that
may
be
followed
in
servicing
the
SBC
relay.
One
approach
is
field
service,
where
an
attempt
is
made
to
replace
defective
components
at
the relay
location.
Generally,
this
will
take
the
most
time
and
require
the
highest
degree
of
skill
and
understanding.
It can
also
be
expected
to
result
in
the
longest
system-outage
time.
The
preferred
approach
is
board replacement, where
a
determination
is
made
as
to
which
printed-circuit
board
has
failed
and
that
board
is
replaced
with
a
spare
board.
The
system
can
then
be
quickly
returned
to
service.
Considerable
time
is
saved
and
there
is
much
less
pressure
to
make
a
decision
about
what
to
do
with
the
defective
part.
This
approach
typically yields
the
shortest
down
time.
It
is
recommended
that
a
complete
set
of
spare
printed-circuit boards
be
kept
at
the main
maintenance
center.
For
those
who
wish
to
repair
at
the
component
level,
drawings
are
available
from
the
factory.
When
requesting
drawings,
the
following
information
must be
supplied
to
the
factory:
1.
Assembly
number
of
the
hoard.
This
is
found
on
the
component
side
of
the
printed-circuit
board.
It
is
an
eight
digit
number
with
a
letter
inserted
between
the
fourth
and
fifth
digit
and
suffixed
with a
group
identification,
e.g.
0184B8921G2.
-16-

GEK-1
00636
2.
Revision
number
of
the
board.
This
is
also found
on
the
printed-circuit
board,
e.g.
REV.
1.
The
acceptance
tests
should
he
performed
after
a
printed-circuit
hoard
has
been
repaired
or
replaced.
Whenever
the
nameplate
is
removed
from
the
relay,
care
must be
taken
when
replacing
it
so
that
it
does
not
interfere
with
the
mechanical
operation
of
any
switches
that
protrude
through
the
nameplate.
RENEWAL
PARTS
It
is
recommended that
sufficient
quantities
of
renewal
parts
be
carried
in
stock
to
enable
the
prompt
replacement
of
any
that
arc
broken
or
damaged.
When
ordering
renewal
parts,
address
the
nearest
Sales Office
of the
General
Electric
Company.
Specify
the
quantity
required,
the name
of the
part
wanted,
the
part number
if
known,
and the
complete
model
number
of
the
relay for
which
the
part
is
required. The
table
below
lists
the
part
numbers
for
the
most
common
replacement
parts.
It
is
recommended
that renewal parts
only
be
obtained
from
the
General
Electric
Company.
Should
a
printed-circuit
card
become inoperative,
it
is
recommended
that
the
card
be
replaced
with
a
spare.
