INTRODUCTION
The DTH relay is a high speed biassed differential relay for
the protection of large three phase power transformers against
internal faults, Type DTH31 is applicable for two winding
transformers and DIH32 for three winding transformers.
The relays are exceptionally stable on heavy through faults
and have second harmonic restraint to prevent operation by
normal magnetising inrush currents. An instantaneous high
set circuit overrides the biassed differential circuit to
clear heavy internal faults in about one cycle.
Static circuitry is employed throughout with a single
attracted armature output relay.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
‘The DTH31 ana 32 differ only in their input circuitry and
the principle of relay operation is otherwise the same.
In the DTH31 the currents from the HV and LV line current
transformers, which can be referred to as Il and 12, are
added vectorially in the tapped transactor Tl. The taps
provide bias settings of 15, 30 and 45%. ‘The difference
between Il and I2 flows through the primaries of 12, the
harmonic restraint transactor and 13, the operating transactor
and T4, the high set current transformer.
The higher of the rectified outputs from the bias and harmonic
restraint circuits is compared with that of the operating and
the output from the comparator drives an outrut amplifier
which is common to all three phases and in turn drives the
hinged armature output relay.
Because of the possibility of current reversal as in the case
of three winding transformers, the three inputs which can be
referred to as Il, I2 and 13 cannot be added vectorially.
In the DTH32, each input is fed into a separate transactor and
rectifier circuit and the d.c. voltage outputs added.
The high set current transformers develop a voltage across a
secondary shunt which is rectified and compared with a d.c.
reference. If this reference voltage is exceeded a signal
is fed into the common output amplifier.
PHYSICAL DESCRIFSION
TYO YINDING XSLAY
The DTH31 is housed in a two pole vertical, double ended
drawout case. The front board is marked Z¢ 0406 and can be
hinged out to ellow access to components by wiring arrangement.
Behind the front board, the three differential transforzers
12, 14 and 73 are mounted on a plate, left to right. Tne Red
phase set are at the top of the relay, the Yellow phase set
below and the Blue phase set at the bottom. Below the Blue
phase set are mounted the auxiliary relay and the bias setting1.2.2.

plug boards. Behind the mounting plate are four printed
ireuit boards marked 2G 0396, ihe output board, und 26 0395,
the Red, Yellow and Blue phase boards in order of assembly.
Below these boards are the three bias transactors, the upper
one being the yellow phase, the lower left (looking from the
rear of the relay) is the blue phase, and the lower right
is the red phase.
THREE VINIING RELAY
The DIH32 is housed in a three pole horizontal single ended
drawout case. The three printed circuit boards, marked
2G 0539, are mounted at the top of the relay, and carry the
rectifying, smoothing and comparing circuits for each phase.
The smaller board, marked 2G 0415, which is below, carries
the output amplifier components. All the transformers are
mounted on a central vertical plate. Those on the front
side are the bias transactors Tl, 72 and 13 and their
associated plug boards. The auxiliary relay is mounted on
the extreme left of the plate. On the rear of the plate
are the diferential transformers 14, 5 and 16. The relay
is layed ous in three sections, the red phase being on the left
and the blue on the right and yellow in the middle. ‘The
sliding contacts are arranged in three sets, the current
inputs being on numbers 7 to 10 for each phase. The auxiliary
relay contacts are brought out to number 1 to 4 on the red
phase end, and the auxiliary d.c. inputs are made to numbers
1, 2, 3 and 5 on the yellow phase section.
SPECIFICATION
The specification of the TH is given in the following
technical data.

SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The relay has separate terminals for 30V, 125V or 250V d.c.
inputs which would normally be derived from the station
battery, the relay circuitry being supplied by internal
dropper resistors. For testing, it may be required to supply
the relay with a portable d.c. supply. This supply should
have no more than 30% peak to peak ripple at rated current
output.
OPERATING TIME
For differential currents above twice rated
Less than 45ms, for auxiliary supplies 110/125V d.c. and
220/250V d.c.
Less than 60ms, for an auxiliary supply of 30V d.c.
STABILITY
The relay is stable up to fifteen times rated current with
up to 30% mismatch of the line current transformer ratios.
HARMONIC RESTRAINT
Operation is prevented when the second harmonic content in
the differential current exceeds 20%.
The relay has one auxiliary element which operates for any
type of fault which the relay covers. This auxiliary has
a hand reset flag and is fitted with two pairs of electrically
separate, self reset contacts. The contacts are rated to make
and carry 7500 watts for 0.5 seconds with maxima of 30 amps
and 660 volts.
APPEICATION
The DTW relay is used for the differential protection of
power transformers. The line current transformers are
connected together at one end, the other ends are connected
to the start and finish of the bias transactors, which are
centre tapped for two winding transformer protection or are
three separate units in the case of three winding transformers.
ideally the current transformers primary rating should agree
with the protected transforner full load rating and with the
transformation ratio. This ensures the currents flowing
in the secondary circuit are balanced and matched with thePage 4
relay rating. hen the main current transformers on both
sides of a star/delta trnasformer have a 5 or 1 amp secondary,
those on the star side of the power transformer should be star
connected and three serarate single phase star/delta
interposing cur: ~¢ transformers should be used with suitably
matched current ratio so that the pilot currents are balanced.

(b) DIH32
Standard wiring diagram HDF500-1
Schematic diagram 385/470
The description of the relay will be confined to the DIH31 and
components referred to will be with respect to the DTH31
schematic diagram. The mode of oreration of the DTH32 is
exactly the same as that of the DTH31 except that the bias
circuit has three separate transactors Tl, 12 and 13 and
rectifier bridges Dl, D2 and D3. ‘The d.c. voltages are added
in series, with resistors Rl, R2 and R3 to bypass any rectifier
which has no a.c. applied to it. The bias setting is
established by RVl and R4, The rest of the circuit is
identical to the D?31 although the component references are
different.
The auxilisry d.c. voltage is fed into terminals 20 (-ve) and
lg for a 30V supply or 5 for a 110V or 6 for a 220V supply.
Resistor R25 and capacitor C9 provide high frequency and high
voltage transient suppression. Diode D18 is connected to block
current flow if the supply is inadvertently connected with
reverse polarity. Resistor R22 and zener diodes D17 and D18
provide a stabilised power supply of 127, with a 5.17 rail for
the comparator and high set level detector circuits.3.1
Page 5
The secondary currents from the line current transformers are
fed. into terminals 11 and 14 and the vectorial sum of the
currents produces a corresponding voltage output across the
secondary of Tl, The centre tapped primary of Tl is tapred
to provide 15, 30 and 45% bias settings. The output voltage
from 71 is full wave rectified in Dl and fed into the restraint
smoothing circuit R6 and C3. Pine adjustment of the bias
settings is obtained by selecting the value of R2. The
difference between the input currents flows from the centre tap
on Tl, through 12, 73 and 14 and out of terminal 12, to which
the other ends of the current transformer secondaries are
connected. The secondary of 12, the harmonic restraint
transactor, is in four parts, three of which can be interconnected
to give up to + 10% variation on the number of turns on the
fourth winding. This arrangement is used to tune the secondary
inductance and Cl to 98 c/s, ‘The output voltage is adjusted
by selecting the value of R4. The output is rectified in D2
and fed into the restraint smoothing circuit in parallel with
the output from the bias circuit.
The output from the operate transactor 13 is rectified by D3,
smoothed by R8 to R12, RVl and C5, C6. This arrangement is
needed to make the rate of rise of the operating voltage
compatible with the rate of rise of the output of the second
harmonic filter to prevent the relay operating in the first
few cycles of a magnetising inrush waveform.
The operate and restraint smoothing circuits have their negative
rails connected together, and the positive ends feed into the
long tailed pair circuit TR1 and TR2. The setting of the
relay is controlled by R15, R16 and RV2. ‘When the operate
voltage exceeds the greater of the restraint voltages, TRI
conducts. ‘This drives TR4 and TR5 in the output amplifier
into conduction, and energising the auxiliary relay.
The secondary current from the high-set trensformer 14 flows
through R12 and the voltage so developed is rectified and
smoothed by D4 and CB, ‘The setting is controlled by RV3, and
operation occurs when the voltage appearing across R14 is
greater than that on the base of TR3.
THROUGH CURRENT FLOW CONDITION
The circuit of the relay is arranged so that when the primary
currents of the power transformer equal their respective nominal
values, the current transformer secondary currents are equal
and the resultant differential current is zero. In practice
there will always be some differential current flowing due to
the facts that the transformer ratio, and therefore secondary
current can be continually varied by the tap change process,
and that the transformer magnetising current flows only in the
primary. For these reasons the bias winding measures the mean
through current, that is the average of the reflected primary
and secondary currents. The differential current is required
to be a certain percentage of the mean through current before
the relay will operate. To prevent the relay operating on the
steady state magnetising current of the transformer, a fixed
setting is incorporated of 15% of rated current.3.2
3.3
4.1
Page 6
MAGHBTISING INRUSH
when a power transformer is switched on to the supply, the
magnetising inrush current can be several times the rating
of the transformer, and have a duration of several seconds
before it falls below the fixed pick-up setting. This would
obviously cause the relay to operate and prevent the transformer
ever being switched on to the supply. 0 restrain the relay,
use is made of the large second harmonic content of the
magnetising inrush current by means of a filter circuit tuned
to 98 c/s which is set to restrain the relay if the magnetising
inrush current contains more than 20% harmonic.
INTERNAL CURRENT FLOW CONDITION
When an internal fault occurs in the transformer more current
flows into the transformer than leaves it. This current
difference is reflected into the current transformer secondaries
and appears in the differential circuit of the relay. The
high set unit in the differential circuit disconnects the
transformer as quickly as possible should the internal current
exceed ten times the rating.
CURRENT TRANS?ORMER REQUIREMENTS
Since the operation of the relays is dependent upon the
magnitude and balance of currents, the performance requirements
of the current transformers are specified in terms of the
knee-point voltage. The knee-point of the excitation
characteristics is defined as the point at which 10% increase
in secondary e.m.f. produces a 50% increase in exciting current.
It may therefore be regarded as a practical limit beyond which
a specified ratic may not be maintained. Beyond the knee-
point the current transformer becomes saturated.
The kmee-point voltage VK is given in the following formula.
VE D 401 (ROT + 2 Rp)
where I = rated current (A)
RCT vesistance of CT secondary winding (ohms)
Rp resistance of maximum lead length from

LECTION OF CURRENT TRANSFORMER
A 15 MVA, Delta/Star, 33,000/11,000 volt will require the
following current transformer characteristics.
The primary and secondary full load currents are as follows.

Primary full load current = 15 x 10°
X33 x TOS = 2634

Seconeary full load current = 15 x 10°, _ 730,
7TRT eIPage 7
The current transformers on the HV Line will need to be
connected in star, thus a ratio ot 300/1 would be suitable.
The current transformers on the LV _ Line will need to
be connected in delta, thus a ratio of 900/0.577 would be
suitable.
It is sometimes required that a transformer described as above
shall have restricted earth fault protection, which can be
incorporated in the differential scheme.
The restricted earth fault scheme would require that the
current transformers on the star side of the transformer shall
be star connected, so that the ratio for the above described
transformer would be 900/1. ‘The current transformer secondary
leads will be connected with a current transformer in the power
Transformer Neutral which will have the same ratio. The
matching of the secondary currents with the secondary currents
of the HV current transformers will be accomplished by
Interposing current transformers of the ratio 1/0.577.
The restricted earth fault facility may also be accomplished
by using a core balance current transformer. The core balance
current transformer has four primary and one secondary winding.
Three of the primary windings are in series with the three delta
connected secondary windings of the line current transformers
on the star side of the Power Transformer. The fourth primary
winding of the core balance transformer is connected to the
secondary of the Power Transformer Neutral connected current
transformer, which will have the same ratio as the line current
transformers (900/0.577). The earth fault is connected to
the single secondary of the core balance transformer.
For all faults except an earth fault within the protection
zone on the star side, cancelling ampere-turns are produced
in the core balance output. The arrangement provides true
restricted earth fault protection and is a conventional
differential scheme.
Because of difficulty in availability of equipment for heavy
current testing, it is advantageous to scheme testing for both
through and internal fault conditions to be able to provide
the necessary secondary currents in the current transformer
by using a test winding facility. The test windings would
have nominal ratios of 10/1 or 10/0.577.
It is further recommended that Class 5P current transformers
be used for differential schemes, as this will reduce the
possible errors produced by spill currents.
NDLING AND INSTALLATION
ne relays are of robust construction and will withstand
reasonable handling during transit. The relays nevertheless
require careful treatment and this is best carried out by
skilled personnel.6.1
6.2
The relays are dispatched as pert of a panel or in cartons
speciaily designed to protect them. After transit, they
should be examined and if evidence of rough handling is
indicated, a claim should be made to the transport company
concerned, and the nearest GEC Measurements Office should
be promptly notified.
Packing should be removed after installation and before
commissioning, and it oust be ensured that the relay is
installed in a dust free atmosphere.
The relays are designed for vertical operation and should
be mounted on a panel or rack within 5° of the vertical
and be free from excessive vibration. Adequate illumination
will assist in relay inspection.
COMMISSIONING
The purpose of commissioning tests is to ensure that the
relay is correctly operating and that the protection scheme
is correct.
EQUIPMENT
Under current transformer requirements (Par. 4) mention is
made of the usefulness of Test Windings on current transformers
used on a differential scheme. This will determine the size
of test equipment, as without test windings, the only
alternative is to have heavy current test gear for Primary
Injection, or the availability of a machine, which in both
cases is not always convenient. ‘The relay injection tests
for operation can be carried out with smaller portable
injection equipment capable of giving a good sine wave output
at'up to 15 times the relay rating.
Two ammeters and suitable resistors or variable voltage
transformers for controlling the current inputs will be
required.
WIRING CHECKS
Because of the importance of having correct connections in
the differential scheme, great care in the checking of the
wiring will prove to be of great advantage in testing and
avoid what could turn out to be complex scheme operation.
This would apply particularly where interposing current
transformers are used in the scheme in conjunction with
auxiliary transformer restricted earth fault scheme or core
balance current transformer restricted earth fault scheme.
Care should be taken that current transformer secondaries
are not earthed in such a way so as to short-circuit the
scheme.6.3
6.4
6.4.1
Page 9
CURRENT TRANSFORMER TESTS
The testing of the current transformers to verify correct
ratio and polarity is important. Reference to an overall
schematic diagram as described in wiring checks (Par. 6.2)
is essential, and marking the current transformer polarities
from information and tests of the transformers on such a
diagram will prove invaluable for future reference.
Ratio tests should be carried out and noted. The ratio may
be established by using lower primary currents than the actual
current transformer primary, and may be further verified by
on load tests when the Power Transformer is energised. Por
example a 1000/5 current transformer can be injected with 100A
primary and 0.5A measured on the secondary.
The plotting of magnetisation curves for each current transformer
can be presented as a graph showing the typical curves, and
the knee-point established. Interposing transformers giving
step-up or step-down voltages to accommodate the knee-point
voltage during test is advisable.
The d.c. resistance of the current transformer secondary should
be measured and noted on the graphs or results.
The d.c. resistance of the longest lead from the relay to a
current transformer used in the scheme should be noted.
RELAY INJECTION TESTS
The relay injection tests should be carried out with the
current tranSformer leads disconnected and isolated from the
relay. This is conveniently accomplished by using the type
MPB test plug in the relay slide contacts.
Apply the correct d.c. to the relay.
PICK-UP SETTING - DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
This setting is established by injection in turn each phase
residual path, the following table applies to both DTH31 and
DIH32.

‘At phase 14-12 7-10
"Bt phase 18-16 17-20

Note and tabulate relay operating level of current, which should
be nominally 0.15A or 0.75A (1A or 5A relay respectively) with a
tolerance of -15% to +5%.
PICK-UP SETTING - INSTANTANEOUS UNIT
With the same injection circuit, but vith T) secondary shorted
in the appropriate phase under test (see Fig. 1), ensure that
the miniman operating current of the high set element is 19
times the rated current of the relay, with a tolerance of * 10%6.4.3
Page 10
SETTING OF RESTRAINT BIAS
This setting is established by injecting in turn each phase
at the bias setting required by the Fower Transformer.
From the same current source, two levels of current will
need to be derived and two ammeters will give bias current
and operating current levels. The bias current should be
set at twice relay rating. The injection of the bias and
operate currents into the appropriate terminals of each
phase for both the DIH31 and DTH32 are given in the table.
The bias current should be set at twice times relay rated
current, and the operate current level raised to a point
of relay operation. The percentage bias is then given
from the following.
Bias %= _ 100 To

c 27-28, 29° Short 28 and 29 and
measure Ib at 28, 29.
27-30 Measure Io at 30.
The calculated Bias % for each phase should be within a
tolerance band as follows:
15% Bias setting - Tolerance 13 to 17%
30% Bias setting - Tolerance 27 to 33%
45% Bias setting - Tolerance 40 to 50%
SETTING OF RESTRAINT, SECOND HARMONIC
The tests given below may be undertaken if suitable test
equipment is available. Alternatively, satisfactory stability
on energising the H.V. transformer may be proved as in section 6.
Since the burden of the relay is low, it is possible to obtain
the 2nd Harmonic, by means of a 100 (120) Hz oscillator and a
commercial ‘audio' amplifier of say 20 watts output. The amplifie.
output is fed to the relay via a series resistor equal to the
normal output impedance (typically 8 ohms).
The alternative is to use a small machine which will give the
required frequency.6.5
6.6
6.7
Page 11
In eaca case the peak to peak waveform of both the fundamental
and the second harmonic will need to be monitored on an
oscilloscore, and if the method of obtaining the required
frequency is not correctly calibrated, the second harmonic
frequency should also be measured with a frequency counter.
The method of testing is similar to the differential unit
pick-up tests (Par. 6.4.1) except that the second harmonic
is injected in parallel to the fundamental.
As indicated from tests of the differential unit, relay
operation will occur at 15% of rated current. tt is
recommended that this current level is set at 100% rated
currert so that the relay is well within its operated state.
The second harmonic current level is then slowly raised to
20% and the relay should restrain.
THROUGH CURRENT STABILITY CHECKS
The bias and operating currents for each phase can be measured
easily by inserting a MPB test plug into the relay sliding
contacts and ammeters, which do not have overload cut-outs,
inserted into the circuit.
The full load through current can be obtained by using 440
volts three phase injected into the High Voltage winding if
the winding is in excess of 3.3kY, or using an alternator to
inject into the High Voltage winding, in each case a short
circuit is applied to the Low Voltage winding.
The operate current measured should be less than 20mA if the
is connected correctly to the current transformers, and
@ current transformer polarities are correct.
SWITCHING STABILITY TEST
The transformer is energised ten times at its full rated
voltage on no load to check that the relay does not maloperate.
ALARM AND TRIPPING OUTPUT TESTS
During the secondary injection tests of the relay, the
operation of alarm and trip output contacts would have been
monitored and timed.
Then the relay has been tested and put into commission, a
final operation should be checked on load by arranging’ the
normal through current in the bias windings to be diverted
into the operate winding, in which case, if the load is in
excess of 15%, the differential unit will operate.
MAINTE!
CE
Injection tests can be carried out once a year if desired
to’verify that the relay operates satisfactorily, and that
the pick-up is within the accested tolerance.7.2.1
Page 12
INSPECTION
To inspect the relay loosen the cover nuts and remove the
cover. Rotate the latches, which then provide finger
holes for withdrawing the relay chassis. The action of
rotating the latches operates a switch which isolates
the tr: ircuit.
The dust filters should be examined and if necessary cleaned.
The filter unit is cleaned by removing from the relay case,
and removing the white filter element to wash in detergent,
and after rinsing and drying, dip the element in lignt
machine oil and shake off excess oil. Replace filter element
and filter unit in the case.
The attracted armature relay is simple and robust. Unless
the relay is not operating correctly, it should be left
undistrubed. Contacts should be examined for cleanliness,
and iz found dirty should be cleaned with a burnishing tool.
No files or abrasive materials are to be used. If the
contacts are badly damaged, return the relay to the factory
or replace the contacts.
When replacing the contacts, the setting procedure under
servicing instructions (Par. 7.2) should be referred to.
The operation indicator shield must be free to drop when
the contacts are about to touch.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
Because of the complete static layout of the relay, very
little servicing is required, but in the event of a fault
the following notes are intended to provide a testing to
establish the area of fault and suggest replacement of units.
The possible damage to relay contacts would require contact
replacement and the following details outline the requirements
of setting up.
CONTACT REPLACEMENT
When replacing the contacts they should be bent slightly,
adjacent to the insulating blocks, so that they exert a
pressure on the push rods or support arms. ‘The armature
platzorm should be level and the bottom contacts sitting
on the push rod shoulders. The push rods are vertical.
The contact tips should nave a level appearance when viewed
from the front.
ith a 0.010 inch feeler gauge between the armature and the
core face, close the armature by exerting pressure above the
centre line of the core face. Adjust the tap contact and
support so that the contacts just touch and this gives a
follow through of 0,020 inch.” The contact gap is set to
0.070/0.080 inch by adjusting the armature stop.7.2.3
Page 1
Using a gramme gauge check that the tap contact lifts off its
support when a pressure of 15/20 grammes is applied. The
pressure should be taken with the arm of the gauge placed
under the tips of the contacts. Adjustment is obtained by
increasme or decreasing the bend put into the contact.
Adjustment of the operation indicator is made by bending
the spring catch which locates in a notch in the armature.
D.C. SUPPLY CHECKS
The voltage at the 30V terminals should be monitored and the
current measured. “At 30V supply this will be nominally 15mA.
At 110, 220 volts the monitored voltage will be between 46
and 52V and the current input a nominal 30 to 35 mi.
With the relay energised measure the voltage between
monitoring points o(-ve) and 10 which should be about 28V d.c.
on DTH31 and similarly on monitor points 56(-ve) and 52 on
DIH32.
Connect a short circuit between Cl and Dl (DTH31) or B and
D (DTH32) and the voltage should drop to 0.25V and the output
relay should operate. .
BIAS CIRCUIT
Set bias plug to 45%, Set up to inject current into each
bias cireait. For the DIM31 this will be 11 to 14 for
A phase and for the DTH32 will be 7 to 10, 8 to 10 and 9-10
for A phase. Apply rated current and measure the voltage
with al megohm input voltmeter across monitor points 2 and
4 (DTH31) or 24/25; 20/21; 22/23; (DTH32). The voltage
will be between 4.2 and 4.70 (DTH31) and 3.5 to 4V (DTH32).
Tn the case of DTH31, if this voltage is not correct,
disconnect the wires, and measure the voltage at the wire
ends. The phase board is incorrect if this voltage is now
correct. If the voltage is still incorrect, disconnect the
wires to 1 and 3 and measure the voltage across these wires
(12.5V) and the short circuit current (5.5mA). If these
figures are correct, the front board or Tl is faulty.
In the case of the DTH32 if the voltage was not correct,
disconnect and measure the voltage at the wire ends (4.0-5.4V)
and the short circuit current (4.1mA).
ith the wires reconnected on the DTH31 and 32, repeat with
30 and 15%.
For the DTH31 the 30% tap will give a voltage of 2.8-3.2¥.
the 15% tap will give a voltage of 1.4-1.6V.
For the DTH32 the 30% tap will give a voltage of 2.6-2.8V.
the 15% tap will give a voltage of 1.5-1.6V.
Repeat for B and C phases.7.2.4

HARMONIC RESTRAINT
Prepare to inject current in the operate mode. For A
phase on the. DIH31 this is terminal 11 to 12 and on the
DTH32 is terminal 7 and 10. Apply rated current and
measure the voltage across the monitor points 6/8 (DTH31)
and 19/18 (DTH32) which should be between 8 and 10 volt.
If this is not correct disconnect 6/8 (DTH31) and 19/18
(DTH32) and measure voltage across wires. In the case
of the DIN32 this will be between 6 and 7.6V and the short
circuit current will be between 10.8 and 13m. In the
case of the DTH31, if the voltage is still incorrect,
disconnect wires to 5 and 7 and the voltage and short circuit
current across these wires will be as for DTH32.
Repeat for B and C phases.
DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT
Pass rated current through the differential primary
(as above 7.2.4) and measure the voltage across the
secondary which will be a nominal 20V. If this is not
correct disconnect the wires and the voltage will be a
nominal 26V at about 2mA.
HIGH SET CIRCUIT
With rated current injected as for Par. 7.2,4., measure
the voltage across monitor points 9 and 11 (D?H31) and
monitor points 14 and 15 (DTH32) which should be a nominal
0.85V. “In the case of the DIH32 the open circuit volts
will be 16-18V and the short circuit current will be 3.5mA.
These figures will be obtained for the D?H31 by disconnecting
monitoring points 10 and 12 and checking and further
disconnecting 9 and 11.
REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS
The above instructions will enable the region of the fault
to be located and the faulty component replaced and it is
recommended that the printed board can be replaced as a
whole. If any component is replaced it is recommended that
the calibration of the relay be rechecked.
Certain rechecks may require recalibration, and this should
be carried out carefully using good quality test equipment
and notes regarding the testing of the relay for calibration
which can be obtained from the works.
Then ordering replacement components, the relay model and
serial number should be quoted.
