liED MeasurementsI
Type DDT
ThetypeDDTrelayisamediumorhighbias-slope
differential unit designed for protection of two-
winding power transformers over about 10MVA
rating against internal phase and earth faults.
Basicallytherelayis an inductiondiscunitwitha
pair of bias or restraint coils (in addition to an
operating coil) to prevent operation by external
faults. Types ODT12 and DDT32are single and
triplepoleversions respectively.
OPERATION
The relay is connected in a Merz-Price con-
figuration to corresponding matched current
transformersOn eithersideoftheprotected trans-
former. The C.T. secondaries provide athrough
current in the relay restraint coils which produce
a continuous torque on the disc in the contact
opening direction. The differential of the C.T.
secondary currents flows in the relay operating
coil.
Undernormal load conditionsthe C.T. secondary
currents are equal and no current flows in the
operating coil. If these currents become un-
equal due to a fault in the transformers. the
resulting differential current energises the opera-
ting coil which produces atorque on the discin
thecontactclosingdirection. Thecontactsclose
when the ratio of the differential current to the
through current exceeds the slope of the relay
operating characteristic determined by the turns
ratioofthe operating and restraintcoils.
The bias slope is chosen so that the relay is
insensitive to unbalanced external lead burdens
which normally give a lower ratio ofdifferential
current tothrough current than an internal fault.
In addition a fairly high bias slope is required to
preventmaloperation by C.T. differential currents
arising from:
(a) tap changing ontransformers givingmis-
match ofthe CT:s.
(b) different C.T. ratios and hence saturation
levels giving differential currents under
throughfaultconditions.
(c) magnetising inrush giving secondary
currents inoneset ofC,T:sonly.
To prevent maloperation by magnetising inrush
the relay function is delayed by a selected time
until the initial current peaks have decayed to a
Type DDT12 relay
tolerable level (determined by the percentage
bias).
The mmimum operating current of the relay is
determined by the tension of the disc control
spring and can beadjusted by rotating a knurled
moulded discagainstagraduatedscale.

Current Transformer Knee-point Voltage
The knee point is defined as the point on the
magnetisation curve at which a 10% increase in
excitation voltage produces a 50% increase in
excitation current. The minimum knee- point

AUXILIARY UNITS AND OPERATION
INDICATORS
An auxiliary attracted armature unit with a hand
reset operation indicator for either shunt
(seal in) orseries seal in is fitted as standard.
Standard Coil Ratings
Voltage operated (shunt) auxiliary units are
available with nominal ratings of30, 110,125or
220volts d.c.

Other coil ratings can be supplied for both types

Contacts
Two pairs of electrically separate normally
open self or hand reset contacts are fitted and
will make and carry 7500 VA for 3s with
maxima af30 A and 660 V a.C. or d.c.
CASES
Therelays afesupplied in drawoutcasesavailable
for either flush or projecting mounting and
finished in phenolic black.
Standard relays are finished to BS.2011:20/40/4
and are suitablefornormaltropical use; relays for
use in exceptionally severe environments can be
finished to BS.2011:20/50/56 at extra cost.
The drawout case offers many advantages
includingease ofmaintenanceandtesting, and is
fitted with contacts which short circuit the
associated currenttransformers on withdrawal of
the unit. A filter is filled toequalise the pressure
inside and outside the case without admitting
dust.
