ELECTROMAGNETIC RELAY
• Electromagnetic Relay
• Electromagnetic relays are operated by electromagnetic action. Although
modern electrical protection relays often use microprocessor-based relays,
electromagnetic relays remain prevalent. Their complete replacement by
microprocessor-based static relays will take considerable time. Therefore,
understanding the various types of electromagnetic relays is essential.
• Electromagnetic Relay Working
• Practically all the relaying device is based on either one or more of the
following
Types of electromagnetic relays.
1.Magnitude measurement,
2.Comparison,
3.Ratio measurement.
Principle of electromagnetic relay working is on some basic principles.
Depending upon working principle these can be divided into following
Types of electromagnetic relays.
1.Attracted Armature type relay,
2.Induction Disc type relay,
3.Induction Cup type relay,
4.Balanced Beam type relay,
5.Moving coil type relay,
6.Polarized Moving Iron type relay.
Attraction Armature Type Relay
Attraction armature type relay is the most simple both in construction as
well as in its working principle. These types of electromagnetic relays can
be utilized as either magnitude relay or ratio relay. These relays are
employed as auxiliary relay, control relay, over current, under current, over
voltage, under voltage and impedance measuring relays.
Hinged armature and plunger type constructions are most commonly used
for these types of electromagnetic relays. Among the two constructional
design, hinged armature type is more commonly used.
We know that force exerted on an armature is directly proportional to the
square of the magnetic flux in the air gap. If we ignore the effect of saturation,
the equation for the force experienced by the armature can be expressed as,
Where,
F is the net force,
K’ is constant,
I is rms current of armature coil, and
K’ is the restraining force.
The threshold condition for relay operation would therefore be reached when KI2
= K’.
If we observe the above equation carefully, it would be realized that the relay operation
is dependent on the constants K’ and K for a particular value of the coil current.
From the above explanation and equation it can be summarized that, the operation of
relay is influenced by
1.Ampere – turns developed by the relay operating coil,
2.The size of air gap between the relay core and the armature,
3.Restraining force on the armature.
Construction of Attracted Type Relay
This relay is essentially a simple electromagnetic coil, and a hinged plunger.
Whenever the coil becomes energized the plunger being attracted towards
core of the coil. Some NO-NC (Normally Open and Normally Closed) contacts
are so arranged mechanically with this plunger, that, NO contacts become
closed and NC contacts become open at the end of the plunger movement.
Normally attraction armature type relay is DC operated relay. The contacts
are so arranged, that, after relay is operated, the contacts cannot return to
their original positions even after the armature is de energized. After relay
operation, these types of electromagnetic relays are reset manually.
Attraction armature relay by virtue of their construction and working
principle, is instantaneous in operation.
Induction Disc Type Relay
The primary component of an induction disc type relay is a rotating disc.
Induction Disc type Relay Working
Every induction disc type relay works on the same well known Ferrari’s
principle. This principle says, a torque is produced by two phase displaced
fluxes, which is proportional to the product of their magnitude and phase
displacement between them. Mathematically it can be expressed as-
The induction disc type relay is based on the same principle as that of an
ammeter or a volt meter, or a wattmeter or a watt hour mater. In induction
relay the deflecting torque is produced by the eddy currents in an aluminium
or copper disc by the flux of an AC electromagnet. Here, an aluminum (or
copper) disc is placed between the poles of an AC magnet which produces an
alternating flux φ lagging from I by a small angle. As this flux links with the
disc, there must be an induced emf E2 in the disc, lagging behind the flux φ by
90o. As the disc is purely resistive, the induced current in the disc I2 will be in
phase with E2. As the angle between φ and I2 is 90o, the net torque produced
in that case is zero. As,
In order to obtain torque in induction disc type relay, it is necessary to
produce a rotating field.
Pole Shading Method of Producing Torque in Induction Disc Relay
In this method half of the pole is surrounded with copper ring as shown.
Let φ1 is the flux of unshaded portion of the pole. Actually total flux divided
into two equal portions when the pole is divided into two parts by a slot.
As one portion of the pole is shaded by copper ring there will be induced
current in the shade ring which will produce another flux φ2‘ in the shaded
pole. So, resultant flux of shaded pole will be vector sum of φ1 and φ2. Say it
is φ2, and angle between φ1 and φ2 is θ. These two fluxes will produce a
resultant torque,
There are mainly three types of shape of rotating disc are available for
induction disc type relay. They are spiral shaped, round and vase shaped,
as shown.
The spiral shape is done to compensate against varying restraining torque
of the control spring which winds up as the disc rotates to close its contacts.
For most designs, the disc may rotate by as much as 280o
. Further, the
moving contact on the disc shift is so positioned that it meets the stationary
contacts on the relay frame when the largest radius section of the disc is
under the electromagnet. This is done to ensure satisfactory contact
pressure in induction disc type relay.
Where high speed operation is required, such as in differential protection, the
angular travel of the disc is considerably limited and hence circular or even
vane types may be used in induction disc type electromagnetic relay.
Some time it is required that operation of an induction disc type relay should
be done after successful operation of another relay. Such as inter locked over
current relays are generally used for generator and bus bar protection. In that
case, the shading band is replaced by a shading coil. Two ends of that shading
coil are brought out across a normally open contact of other control device or
relay. Whenever the latter is operated the normally open contact is closed and
makes the shading coil short circuited. Only after that the over current relay
disc starts rotating.
One can also change the time/current characteristics of an induction disc type
relay, by deploying variable resistance arrangement to the shading coil.
An induction disc relay, when connected to a negative sequence filter, serves as
a negative-sequence protection device for alternators.
Induction Cup Type Relay
Induction cup type relay can be considered as a different version of induction
disc type relay. The working principle of both type of relays are more or less
some. Induction cup type relay are used where, very high speed operation
along with polarizing and/or differential winding is requested. Generally four
pole and eight pole design are available. The number of poles depends upon
the number of winding to be accommodated.
The inertia of cup type design is much lower than that of disc type design.
Hence very high speed operation is possible in induction cup type relay.
Further, the pole system is designed to give maximum torque per KVA input. In
a four pole unit almost all the eddy currents induced in the cup by one pair of
poles appear directly under the other pair of poles – so that torque/VA is about
three times that of an induction disc with a c-shaped electromagnet.
Induction cup type relay is practically suited as directional or phase
comparison units. This is because, besides their sensitivity, induction cup relay
have steady non vibrating torque and their parasitic torque due to current or
voltage alone are small.
Induction Cup Type Directional or Power Relay
It in a four pole induction cup type relay, one pair of poles produces flux
proportional to voltage and other pair of poles produces flux proportional to
current. The vector diagram is given below,
The torque T1 = Kφvi.φi. sin(90o θ) assuming flux produced by the voltage
−
coil will lag 90° behind its voltage. By design, the angle can be made to
approach any value and a torque equation T = K.E.I.cos(φ θ) obtained,
−
where θ is the E – I system angle.
Accordingly, induction-cup type relay can be designed to produced maximum
torque When system angle θ = 0o or 30o or 45o or 60o. The former is known
as power relays as they produce maximum torque when θ = 0o and latter are
known as directional relays – they are used for directional discrimination in
protective schemes under fault conditions, as they are designed to produce
Reactance or Mho Type Induction Cup Relay
By manipulating the current or voltage coil arrangements and the relative
phase displacement angle between various fluxes, induction cup type relay
can be made to measure pure reactance of a power circuit.
Balanced Beam Relay
Balanced beam type relay can be said a variant of attraction armature type
relay, but still these are treated as different types of relay as they are
employed in different field of application.
Balanced beam type relays were used in differential and distance protection
schemes. The use of these relay becomes absolute as sophisticated induction
disc type relay and induction cup type relays supersede them.
The working principle of a Balance Beam Relay is quite simple. Here one beam
is supported by one hinge. The hinge supports the beam from somewhere in
the middle of the beam. There are two forces acts on two ends of the beams,
respectively. The direction of both of the forces is same
The restraining torque can be provided either by restraining coil or by
restraining spring.
This is a kind of attracted armature type relay. But balance beam relay is
treated separately from their application point of view. When any fault
occurred, the current through the operating coil, crosses its pick up value,
and hence the mmf of operating coil increases and crosses its pick-up
value. Due to this increased mmf, the coil attracts more strongly the beam
end and hence, torque on respective end of the beam increases. As this
torque is increased, the balance of the beam is being disturbed. Due to this
unbalanced torque condition, the beam end associated with operating
torque, moves downward, to close No contacts of the relay.
. Not only direction, in normal working condition the torque produced by
the forces in respect of the hinge, are also same. Due to these two same
directional torques, the beam is held in horizontal position in normal
working condition. One of these torques is restraining torque and other is
operating torque.
Typical arrangements of both types of balance beam relay are illustrated
below :
Now-a-days, balance beam relays become obsolete. In past days these relays
were widely used in differential and impedance measurements. The uses of
these relays are superseded by more sophisticated induction disc and cup
type relays.
The main drawbacks of balance beam relay, is poor reset / operate ratio,
susceptibility to phase displacement between the two energizing and mal-
operation on transients.
Moving Coil Type Relay
The moving coil relay or polarized DC moving coil relay is most sensitive
electromagnetic relay. Because of its high sensitive, this relay is used widely for
sensitive and accurate measurement for distance and differential protection.
This type of relays is inherently suitable for DC system. Although this type of
relay can be used for A.C system also but necessary rectifier circuit should be
provided in current transformer.
While inherently suitable for DC systems, this relay can also operate in AC
systems if a rectifier circuit is added to the current transformer.
In a moving coil relay the movement of the coil may be rotary or axial. Both of
them have been perfected to a large extent by the various manufactures but
the inherent limitation of a moving coil relay remains i.e to lead the current in
and out of the moving coil system which, for reasons of sensitivity has to be
designed to be very delicate.
Between these two types of moving coil relay a axial moving type has twice
With moving coil relay, sensitivities of the order of 0.2 mW to 0.5 mW are
typical. Speed of operation depends upon damping provided in the relay.
