PRAYOG make Solid State Earth Leakage

(SSEL) Relays are fast acting, alternating
current type. They are sensitive, reliable
and robust; hence they find a variety of
applications such as:
1.Earth-fault
withlwithout
core-balance Current Transformer
2.Mertz-price protection.
3.Split conductor feeder protection.

The relay illustrated is ideal for use in a

scheme for sensitive earth-fault protection.
On three phase systems with three current
transformers it is possible to connect the
secondaries of the current transformers in
such a way as to permit the earth fault
current to flow through the relay. The use of
one core balance current transformer with
the associated cable provides an effective
and sensitive method of earth-fault protection.
SSEL Relay in combination with our corebalance Current transformer is thus ideally
suited for application in mines, collieries,
motor control panels etc.

DESCRIPTION:

flux in the core of the CBCT. This flux induces

a voltage in the secondary of the CBCT, which
is fed to the relay. This signal is compared
with internal references and the instant the
Pre-set level of current is crossed, the relay
is activated.
The pre-set value can be adjusted by the
"calibrated dial" potentiometer.
Unequallunbalance loading'on phases,
dose not affect the vector sum and such
there is no difficulty in the use of the relay
on-dectrical distribution systems with
Unequal/ unbalance loading. The Relay
activates only under leakage / earth
fault conditions.
Every operation of the relay is indicated by an
LED indicator. Change over contacts are
provided for relaying signal to control circuit.
It is customary to insert the contacts in the
shunt-trip / no volt coil of the circuit breaker
controlling the feeder which is to be protected.
The RESET push button is provided for
indicating the occurrence of a fault and when
pressed extinguishes the LED indicator,
normalising the relay contact.. If specifically
required, relays can be provided without this
feature.

The SSEL Relay is a solid state unit with

CBCT (Core balance current Transformer)
to sense the leakage current. The CBCT is
mounted externally and the load carrying
cables are passed through the CBCT. Thq
incoming and outgoing currev are equal
and opposite in direction in a leakbge free
system, which technically means that the
vector sum of current is zero.

Test facility is provided to ensure proper

functioning of relay. On pressing "TEST push
button", a known current is passed through
the test winding. The current energises the
relay circuit independent of the set trip current.
This checks the functioning of the relay
't
including the CBCT.

In case of leakage either due to insulation

failire or direct phase to ground fault, th6
vector sum of current is not z q o and
therefore generates a resultant magnetic-

All relays are tested rigorously at the works to

ensure satisfactory operation and servi ce.
Where core-balance type of protection is
envisaged the relay is normally supplied

calibrated with its own core-balance current

transformer bearing the same Serial No.lt
is important that the relay be used with its
own core-balance current transformer.

6. A model of relay is also available in

96 x 96 mm size for flush mounting on
specific request.
[ Panel cut-out size(91 x 91) +0.1- O.Omm].

STALLATION AND OPERATION:

1. Examine the SSEL relay with

corresponding CBCT for physical damage.
2. The CBCT should be installed on the
cable of the feeder to be protected by
threading the cable (all phases and neutral
only) through the opening of the CBCT
The CBCT should be suitably supported
and leads marked R l ' and R2' should be
connected to the relay terminals marked
'R1' and 'R2'. Leads 'TI ' and 'T2' are for
connection to the test circuit terminals 'TI '
and 'T2' on relay.

MUST NOT BE PASSED THROUGH
CBCT.(see SSELR & CBCT connection
diagram for earth connection)
-3. Ensure that SSEL relay is connected to

proper supply voltage as indicated in your

order.

The SSEL relay does not need any

maintenance internally as it employs solid
state circuitry. Once in a month, check the
state of internal wiring, tighten all external
connections, if loose. Press 'TEST' push
button to check performance of SSELR.
On pressing the 'TEST' button, the relay
should trip and in turn should trip the main
breaker( i.e. MCCBIOCBI Starter in use.).

It is not necessary normally to stock any

spares, but if need arises, spares will be
supplied on a priority basis to users.

GUARANTEE:
All Sets are tested carefully before despatch
and are guaranteed against defective
material and/or workmanship for a period
of 12 months from the date of despatch.

4. On the removal of top transparent cover,

Reset and Test push-bottons and setting

dial are accessible. Primary leakage current
trip Settings are marked in terms of Primary
leakage current in suitable range to cover
total range such as (1 to 4 Amps., 2 to 8
Amps., 0.1 to 0.4 Amps., 0.05 to 0.2 Amps.)
5. A FAIL SAFE feature is optionally available
at no extra cost. In SSEL relay, with this
feature when energised with Auxiliary supply,
change over of Auxiliary contacts take
place. In the event of failure of Auxiliary
supply the relays trips immediately,
normalising the auxiliary contacts, thus
providing complete safety.
